Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 25th.
GIVING OF ONE’S TIME, MONEY, ENERGY, AND WISDOM IS A WONDERFUL GIFT TO GIVE. I ALWAYS SAY ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE, FOR IT ADDS UP AND SPILLS OVER. It can be hard giving of one’s time, we are all so busy, we may be broke ourselves so money is hard to give, our wisdom cost us nothing to share, and our energy in exuberance can make such a difference, but what else can we give of our selves that is that one drop?
I know we are all stretched out right now, even burnt out, but when we are of service to one another, we help each other build-up, sustain, and even thrive once again. Whichever way you wish to give back, is ok, but please, in gratitude for what you have in your life, be there for others who are just trying to survive, grow, become, and stand tall in their own lives.
I donate a little (money) a lot, I can’t afford much as I am a pensioner and this network relies on donationsto thrive too, but I know that if we all gave a little it would grow to be a lot and be that difference we all need to thrive once more.
So look for what you have in gratitude, and look to whom you can empower and give dignity to even in a little support in stabilizing and sustaining their own lives. Money, time, energy, wisdom, clothes, goods, whatever they need, for even a drop multiplies and become that difference in survival into thrivel of what we all need.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 18th
I’ve often shared on air the value ofTrue Colours, a personality trait program that reveals how we perceive the world and how we listen, respond, and connect with others. When we truly understand our own lens—and learn to recognize how others see life through theirs—we open the door to deeper, more meaningful communication. It’s in this shared awareness that real transformation begins, both in how we relate to ourselves and how we build bridges with those around us.
There are both right from their point of view.
Discovering my True Colours was a true liberation. For the first time, I understood why I felt so different from my family and those I loved it gave me permission to embrace who I am, exactly as I am. That moment was the beginning of a profound journey. Now, 25 years later, with a deep awareness of my perceptions and core truth, I not only live it in everything I do—I teach it too. Helping others uncover their colours and step into their authentic selves has become part of my purpose.
We guide you in discovering your S.E.L.F. by uncovering your true personality traits and exploring who you are at every layer, revealing the purpose behind your authentic life and its connection to your relationship with self. When you truly understand yourself, you gain clarity on how to respond to the world and engage with others in a more conscious, empowered way.
Through a blend of personality insights, elemental influences, and the wisdom of Astrology, Numerology, and Chineseology, we help you form a holistic view of how you perceive life and connect with those around you. Communication becomes more impactful when it flows from authenticity because when you speak from your truth, others can’t help but truly listen.
Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Feroze Dada, on air from January 18th
A Disciple describes a singular journey with a universal appeal, on the path of Perennial Wisdom. There are lessons for us all as we recognise the call from our inner spirit, our yearning for ‘something other’ in a materialistic world that so often leaves us dissatisfied.
There is another way for us to live, and A Disciple asks important questions about faith and spirituality and connects us with the power of meditation. The author believes passionately that it is a meditation that provides the foundation for a caring and compassionate future.
The story is told with engaging candour, with tales from mythology, quotations from Rumi, and references to Sufi texts all adding colour to the Wisdom Teachings he is receiving. The wise ones spoke in parables and metaphor because that is the form that penetrates and transcends our defenses. We go to some deeper part of ourselves; non-linear and non-cerebral, which is what meditation is.
A Disciple is a fascinating exploration of how meditation can not only awaken our latent potential to live the best lives we can, but also transform the world.
Feroze Dada was born in Karachi, and has lived and worked for most of his life in London. He worked in the finance sector and was entrepreneurial in helping several media start-up companies. A decade ago, his life changed when he went to Myanmar to visit his wife’s family. He became deeply involved in working with a Buddhist monastery in Shan Province, helping it over a number of years to become self-sufficient, supporting as it does some 1200 orphan children. SEE HERE He became a meditation practitioner and continued to work with his Sufi teacher, learning how to live a fulfilled and meaningful life, and by helping others. He is the interviewer and producer of the online TV series Discovering Humanity and Our One World, and author of Children of the Revolution; A Spiritual Journey to Burma and Buddhism. As well as his work as founder of The Inle Trust Charity, set up to help the children at the Phaya Taung monastery in Myanmar, he teaches and promotes meditation at The Sylvan Healing Sanctuary in London. This is a community of healers, teachers and practitioners that offer energy healing, meditation and mindfulness. His wife MuMu (Farida) is from Taunggyi, Myanmar. They have two children; Nadir and Sumaya, and grandchild Layla. They divide their time between their homes in London and Italy.
You may have found yourself reading these words out of curiosity or fascination but perhaps there’s a wish, like Feroze, to know. His book is a bridge to you from a world that is unseen by most except those that are seekers.
These pages are filled with personal anecdotal experiences that may seem straight from a fairy tale. However, they’re the experiences of a seeker who’s spent many years looking for his truth. His faith and acceptance of his experiences has allowed these pages to emerge from the mists into reality.
It’s more than a good story, it’s the path of one who’s been willing to plant his seeds of experience to build a bridge to us so you can go on to plant your own seeds as seekers, allow them to germinate and build your own bridges to the unknown.
These words will never be a substitute for your own experiences but they can act as a guide for you from another’s journey.
Craig Rebuck Sylvan Healing Sanctuary.

When Feroze asked me to review his book, I replied that it would be a privilege and an honour to do so; it has not disappointed, this is a book which tells a wonderful story.
I practise as a doctor and surgeon, so professionally have much interest in the sections of the book devoted to healing; these are impressive and riveting. However, I also read the book from the position of a Seeker; this book is full of wonderful insights, into seeking the Kingdom of God within. It incorporates practical advice as to the different types of meditative exercises Feroze has mastered and his desire to share these things with fellow seekers to our potential betterment.
This is a timely and brave book as the world adjusts to the Covid 19 pandemic and across the globe there is an enhanced desire to care for our planet and ourselves, not just in mind and body but also in our souls.
This book shows us routes to spiritual well-being, via caring for others, meditation and prayer. I have always described Feroze as my Sufi Moslem, Buddhist, Franciscan Christian friend; this book confirms me in that view.
Feroze has much to share and he does it beautifully.

Bruce Lee Benefiel, although in 1988, ‘Zendor’ was a name given after asking internally, ‘Who am I?’ and a friend sitting next to me answering with, ‘You are Zendor.’ Zen came a couple of years later while doing One World TV show when a crew member called me Zen during a taping one night. It cascaded from there and I just embraced it.
