No Life Is Ordinary. And Your Soul Never Forgets
I Don’t Give a Damn, But My Soul Does £11.11
No life is ordinary. And your soul never forgets
This is not a book about religion. It is a book about remembering who you are - and what you’re here to do. What if the chaos of modern life, coffee jitters, dating disaters, spirit attacks, and late-night epiphanies, wasn’t random at all? Meet Mary, reborn into the present day, guided by a higher spiritual collective. The Team. Across sixteen deeply human, divine inspired stories, Mary’s journey becomes a mirror for our own; Showing how even life’s messiest moments can carry sacred meaning.
At the heart of this book lies a power tenet: we are all interconnected. Each character, each relationship, be it fleeting, filial, romantic or otherworldly reveals the invisible threads that binds us all. Each story concludes with a bite-sized insight, like a fortune cookie for the karmically entangled- offering practical wisdom without preachiness.
A genre - blend of cosmic mystery, raw human drama, and spiritual guidance. Because even if you don’t give a damn, your soul does.
I Don't Give a Damn, But My Soul Does - Transformative Workbook £18.88
When You're Done Faking it, But Your Soul Still Cares
I Don’t Give a Damn, But My Soul Does is a transformative workbook for those who are done pretending everything’s fine, but know, deep down, their soul is still listening, still yearning, still healing. This is not just another workbook. It’s a sacred space for release, reflection, and realignment — a bridge between the chaos of daily life and the quiet wisdom within. Designed to support deep energetic healing and conscious expansion, this workbook integrates powerful practices including:
Guided visualisations using colour therapy and aromatherapy to activate the senses and calm the nervous system
Affirmations and reflective exercises to uncover limiting beliefs and cultivate inner strength.
Meditations and journal prompt for grounding, clarity, and emotional release.
Sacred geometry activations to encourage energetic balance and spiritual healing.

Tap into Your Unique Mental Senses
Explore Elevated Mindfulness. How Do You Visualise?
This exercise will help you discover how vividly you can imagine experiences using your five senses. Sit upright in a comfortable position with your feet firmly on the floor. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Exhale slowly letting any tension and tightness drift away. Continue to breathe slowly and deeply and with every breath feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed throughout your body. In this relaxed state read each section, close your eyes and notice which senses feel most real to you. SIGHT- Picture a classic red double -decker bus driving through central London. How clearly can you see the bus in your mind? Can you visualise the shiny paint, the big windows, and the bustling city streets around it? SMELL- Recall the scent of freshly cut grass in the park after a summer rain shower. Can you almost smell that fresh earthy aroma? Does the scent bring back any memories or feelings? SOUND- Imagine standing at the edge of a busy football stadium. Can you hear the roar of the crowds, the referee's whistle, the thud of the ball being kicked? Are the sounds sharp and lively, or more like a distant echo? TOUCH- Picture yourself wrapping your hands around a warm mug of tea on a chilly morning. Can you feel the heat radiating through the mug and the smoothness of the ceramic? Does the sensation feel comforting and real? TASTE- Think about biting into a freshly baked scone topped with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Can you taste the sweetness of the jam, the richness of the cream, and the crumbly texture of the scone? Does the taste make your mouth water? REFLECTION Which senses were strongest or most vivid for you?Did you find it easier to see, hear, smell, touch or taste in your imagination? There is no right or wrong answer- everyone's mind works differently! NOW Visualise this: You are lying on your back in a sun dappled meadow, you can feel warm grass beneath you, the scent of lavender drifts on the breeze, as birdsong dances through the air and the fizz of cool lemonade tingles on your tongue. Soft petals brush your fingertips, and the world feels calm, bright and beautifully yours.
