My own first experience of isolation occurred in 1942 when I was five. Our family, being British, was interned for three years as POWs of the Japanese during their WWII occupation of Shanghai. There were only three Jewish families in our high-walled, guard-gated camp. I suffered extreme loneliness, exclusion, and overt racism from kids needing little excuse to regularly shower me with pent-up hate. I learned to depend on my own resources and creativity to entertain myself during the long days in which we were free to roam around the grounds of our camp. I sketched and colored with whatever limited tools I could find, read books brought in by internees, and danced and sang to myself. I watched over babies in prams for moms doing chores. We were schooled by fellow internee teachers.

Poem on Isolation.

Every day I look outside and wonder ? should I brave it, And go to do some shopping? Or maybe I should save it for yet another week or two when the news is not so dire. Being at home alone so much, my creative mind’s on fire!I miss events and people, and the times we used to mingle but now I have to settle for the writing of a jingle! And really, isn’t that the thing that I was born to do—To be the all-round artist, the Ester that is true? So I am not complaining, but thanking lucky stars for gifts that whisk me up, away, from earthly woes to Mars. The sky’s NO limit when I’m playing piano, painting, writing—It’s all that I was born to do, what I find MOST delighting!

When writing poems and giving vent I feel my gift is heaven sent. The saying goes, “There’s none so blind”… If I may only change ONE mind Then I’ll continue on my quest, NEVER will I stop to rest! Many are now opening eyes—-they took a while to realize. The one they worshipped, idolized, was not the one they should have prized. As long as I have words that flow, I’ll vent—my hat into the rink I’ll throw! Seek the truth that sets you free—do research–not just from me! Don’t spend your life in misery because you voted abysmally. Be strong, just change, it’s not too late—your vote can change the hand of fate. If you’re honest, have heart and brain, you’ll see these leaders inflicted pain. On many of our brethren—admit it! Change your party—bravely quit it! Please don’t miss it—make a note. November—soon—they’ll count your VOTE!

In college at The Johns Hopkins University, my freshmen roommate turned out to be suicidal.  This, combined with being at a top university with an enormous workload, led to me feeling enormous stress and pressure.  I sought out books and then teachers who could show me tools that could help me when I needed it most.
When I first started practicing mindfulness, I was 20 and studied with westerners who had spent years in Asia living as monks and studying with great masters.
I found something compelling about them as individuals because they had an intangible quality that I wanted for myself.  Maybe it was happiness, maybe it was a lightness of being even beyond the normal experiences.  Whatever it was, I sensed it and wanted it for myself.   
This led me on a journey over the course of 25 years of seeking out the living Buddhist masters and learning from them directly rather than through intermediaries.
What I learned during that time, was that it was not necessary to filter the source teachings, but great benefit could reach more people if they were granted direct access.
The only problem was, I understood that most people would not go to Asia or have the chance to study directly with a teacher.
Fortunately, the system that they thought from I learned over the course of my 25 years and I am happy to share with you .
I have done my best to pass on the direct methods and inspiration, without the cultural or religious aspects.
I have applied these methods to my own life and career which has included high pressure jobs at global investment banks and wealth management firms.  I have also applied these same methods with much benefit in my relationships with my spouse and children.

BB20-27 Brian Alexander Saving the Worlds Souls


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Brian Alexander, on air from June 30th

Brians says “This is why I do what I do “Self-awareness” is such an odd thing.

Sanskrit has the phrase “Neti-Neti” which means “Not this, not that”. Most of us stumble through life finding ourselves (if at all) through a process of “negation” or learning what we are not through experience. This takes a very long time and is often far more painful than it has to be.

In business, this impedes growth, synergy, and momentum. It also contributes to employee disengagement and employee turnover

Rather than stumbling, falling and failing your way to self-awareness (although there is value in that too and it is how I became obsessed with it all in the first place) there are better ways. Less painful ways.

Brian Alexander spent 7 years as a high performer in the corporate world before taking the leap and following his purpose and passion within entrepreneurship.

Since then he has built a successful business and learned valuable life and leadership lessons. Brian has also logged over 1000 hours in business coaching in the past 4 years with clients, helping them with all things life, business and leadership.

Brian has been on a relentless quest to understand why people do what they do and equally important, why people don’t do what they say they will do.  One thing he realized in this search is that it is everyone’s right and obligation to the world to discover and express their own unique genius and share it with the world.

Having unlocked the code for himself and those around him, he has now made it his life’s work to share it with the world and help every man, woman and child express their own unique genius within.

IG 20-26 Hema Vyas and Our Renaissance of Heart Rebirth.


Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Hema Vyas, on air from June 23rd

Renaissance = rebirth. A time marking the revival of classical learning and wisdom after a long period of cultural decline and stagnation. 

Heart = so much more than a vital organ, it is an intelligent energy field of its own, a portal to higher consciousness. 

Hema’s mission is to provide a direct experience of the power of the heart and move people into what she uniquely terms a state of gold. In her words “Nothing can tarnish or destroy the sustainable and highly valuable element of gold, so when we excavate all that is not who we really are, we become invincible in our true selves.” For 27 years she has been practicing as a psychologist, spiritual mentor, retreat leader, and speaker.

We would love to work together to ensure more people have the chance to wake up to the true power of the heart. In Hema’s view, rooted in experience with clients from all walks of life, the heart is an intelligent energy field of its own and a portal to higher consciousness – so much more than a vital organ.

What she offers right now? Hema believed meditation is the number one tool for living in a space of alignment and deep trust. Here’s a link to her latest LinkedIn post on the topic https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hemavyas_heart-alchemy-meditation-activity-

She offers guided meditations that can be downloaded at no cost on the Insight Timer app https://insighttimer.com/hemavyas

Also, Hema has recently launched an online meditation course https://bit.ly/3egqIPy so her work can be experienced anywhere in the world. She is soon to teach the first course live – a great opportunity to be part of the live teaching energy for those that book soon.

A couple of examples of recent talks:

The latest article on Thrive Global and Her Story.

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/why-its-time-for-a-heart-renaissance

https://hemavyas.com/2020/02/04/article-my-story-by-hema

Topics she specialises in (though not limited to):Why it’s time for a Heart Renaissance Your heart knows the way to prosperity in the new, conscious economy How your heart is driving far more than love Creating sacred relationships Demystifying the Twin Flame connection – why this is the kind of love the world needs right now Inspiring Omnipreneurship – the future of conscious entrepreneurship that is good for people, business and the planet
Hema’s philosophy that when connected with the heart, we connect with our own unique path to prosperity encompassing love, health, wealth, passion, and purpose working in unity. She also believes that aligning the electromagnetic field of the heart, earth, and universal consciousness you work with cosmic energy, expressing your unique purpose and nourishing your mind.
