It can be a time of changes in nature: on the trees new growth as Spring comes in the North, leaves changing colour as Autumn comes in the South. Weather patterns changing: hot dry weather being followed by some welcome rain in the South, cold wet or icy weather being followed by milder temperatures and …
This is the time of year when many of us think about New Year’s resolutions. All of us who have signed up for the Gupta Program almost certainly did so in the hope of changes for the better. Very few of us realised the full extent of the changes made to our lives by our …
Once upon a time I was a perfectionist and pushed myself to try to do things “right”. Especially at those special times we call festive occasions. Since my recovery from CFS/MCS/Fibromyalgia etc. I do not push myself if at all possible. I have learnt that doing so isn’t good for me, and therefore not good …
No I didn’t miss spell for once! This phrase has been going around in my head for a while so I looked it up, and although we usually associate alms with some sort of charity help for people who need it the word ‘alms’ evidently comes from the old Greek word ‘eleemosyne’ which means compassion …

A while back I decided to bake a load of plain soda bread as an alternative to the usual cheesy variety, in readiness for my family’s visit. I’d successfully made some a couple of weeks before, using a really quick and easy recipe. I thought it very tasty. Yum yum. So, I set out my …
In our Gupta Program Facebook forum, we all can give other people advice and help based on our own experiences with the Gupta techniques. This is best done in a gentle way, and without dogmatism, since in the GP there are no ‘law’s, ‘must’s, ‘should’s or other pressurizing words. Telling someone they must or need …
