INNERGOLD I have always liked gold. Something about its shine, its lustre, and its quality of being slightly elusive always appealed. It wasn’t until I found myself writing a book some years ago, however, that I discovered a deeper significance to gold. I was in South Africa visiting Colour Mirrors creator, Melissie Jolly, who had just added seven ‘Golden Gaia’ oils to her colour healing system, Colour Mirrors.

They even showed me the potential for humanity, if we can evolve beyond the limited and limiting mindsets we seem collectively to have embraced. The golden bottles began to convey so much information that I felt compelled to write about them, and a book, The Language of Light, began to take form. As it did, I realised there would be no turning back for me now. I could no longer ignore the call of my soul to follow the path it was
