Here are the growth motivations published on social media in 2022.
Enjoy them at your own pace!
Consumer? Informer? Transformer? Part 4 – Transformer – Spread a little magic this holiday season!
Transformer
Do you recognise yourself as a TRANSFORMER? Maybe you:
- are someone who wishes to make a difference
- want to leave each situation, encounter, day, etc. as changed, however subtle, through your unique contribution
- wish to be a beneficial presence in the world
- have a deep yearning to radiate and live your essential gifts for the benefit of others,
- etc.
As a TRANSFORMER, by living authentically and close to ourselves, we can be a benign influence on how others feel, think, and wish to behave:
- they feel inspired in our presence and through our example
- they feel expanded, more themselves
- Life flows and circulates more smoothly
We can also bring this transformer energy to ourselves in any situation, circumstance, relationship, or encounter. How? By:
- centring and bringing ourselves into the present
- connecting to our inner being
- asking ourselves what, from our best self, wants to live in us in this moment
- living it, and acting from our deep conscience
Having connected to our transformer energy, we may feel:
- a clear shift in energy
- a greater sense of groundedness
- more clarity, harmony, inner freedom and flow
- a sense of greater solidity and potential
- the embodied experience of being a contributor
This energy radiates from our core being and through our whole body.
We can never over exist in this energy!
– If you want to spread some magic this holiday season, choose any moment and follow the 4 steps. Then note what shift occurs. Be prepared to be amazed!

Week 52 26.12.22
Consumer? Informer? Transformer? Part 3 – Informer
Informer
– Do you recognise yourself as an INFORMER?
- Are you someone who tends to explain or commentate on what is going on?
- Giving facts, having an opinion, or telling stories about what has been or will be (whether in your life or that of others)?
- You talk about things to other people? Or maybe you keep a running commentary in your head for yourself?
By engaging in informer energy, we don’t have to feel or reflect on our inner world. However, we often subtly gain a sense of self, and of control, through interpretation and comment. Having (strong) opinions can be very energising!
This activity is very much focused in our head. While doing it, we may be completely oblivious to the rest of our person.
We may over exist in our informer practice. i.e.,
- we can use it to impose, dominate, manipulate, or control others.
- Or, through our own cerebral diarrhoea, we can drive ourselves out of our mind and lose touch with our grounded reality.
Living our informer energy in balance and harmony means allowing us to express, gently and realistically, whatever is going on in our world (inner and outer) factually, without drama or suppression. e.g. I’m feeling sad. This room is very draughty. etc.
By doing this, we align with reality and allow our informer energy to take on a higher resonance. It gives us clarity, luminosity, understanding, and freedom to then make choices with informed awareness. It acts as a beacon of light on our reality which puts us on the path of truth.
– Try this simple practice: give yourself 3 minutes to tell yourself what is happening in your inner or outer world like a commentator. If you notice your mind wandering, come back to reality and again just state what is happening in the very moment.
– Have you discovered anything new about this energy for you?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 51 19.12.22
Consumer? Informer? Transformer? Part 2 – Consumer
Consumer
– Do you recognise this as your general stance and way of behaving?
– Do you tend to think and act from a place of need, a desire to consume, to possess? Does this apply to your approach to things, people, and circumstances, however subtle? What’s in this for me?
– Do you gauge everything by pleasure or distaste? Maybe you even make it your “raison d’être”. I’m only OK if I’m happy, in control, if something’s mine, etc.
Being a “consumer” generally relates to the egocentric energy of a child – with their organic reactions of wanting, needing to fill a space, trying to get something for themselves – without seeing the bigger picture. I want, and I want it NOW!
Once gained, it tends to be a short-lived pleasure. If it’s connected to an unmet need from the past, our consumer energy can become tyrannical and then consumes US.
– Do you have any desires that are born from a sense of emptiness and consume you and your life?
Of course, there is a time and place for this role. We are human beings. We cannot live without receiving and consuming to provide an adequate environment for survival, meaning, and purpose – both physical, emotional, relational and spiritual.
But we must be careful not to over exist in these needs. It’s about harmony and balance. We can learn to live this well from our deep conscience
There is also a higher resonance to the role of consumer. It is the one of appreciation that leads to joy, deep satisfaction, and peace.
– You can try it by sitting still and being grateful for one thing, person, experience in your life. Let yourself feel the sensation that arises until it fills your whole person.
– What do you notice? How does it leave you?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 50 12.12.22
Consumer? Informer? Transformer? Part 1
It’s interesting to recognise which of these broad categories you tend to fall into:
Consumer? Informer? Transformer?
– Do you tend to approach situations, circumstances, and relationships, etc. from the point of view of a CONSUMER? e.g. What can I get out of this? What pleasure can it give me? What inner space can it fill? What do I need from it? etc.
– Do you often engage with your life as an INFORMER? e.g. Do you find you talk about things? Give a running commentary on what’s happening? Telling yourself, or others, what you’ve done or what should be done? What about acting like a mirror to reality by describing it accurately? etc.
– Is your nature one of a TRANSFORMER? e.g. Do you wish to leave situations, environments, individuals, and groups in a more uplifted, harmonious, aligned, and expanded state than before? Motivated to be the difference that you would like to witness in the world? Feel drawn to be an active part of human evolution? etc.
– With the cool tool of curiosity, why not observe yourself this week and see which of these roles you’re in, in any given circumstance. Note them down in an observation journal.
– Do you notice a pattern? Any other insights? Any questions?
Curious for more? We’ll explore this further in future posts.

Week 49 5.12.22
A 4th pillar for “knowing” – a loving gaze
To access your deep “knowing” there is a 4th pillar to add to the 3 previous ones of: self-analysis – discernment – immersion in self. It is being the recipient of a loving in-depth gaze.
The unconditional presence of another/others can reflect to you your inner truth. It is as if they hold up a mirror for you to see and “know” your true self through their loving gaze on you.
Their deep presence, connection to you, and care and respect for you, act as a sacred space in which you can feel free to know yourself and be yourself. This is your birth right.
Other benefits:
- They act as a catalyst, or a tuning fork, for your truth
- They inspire you to be your very best and step into your wholeness
- They see beyond your protective mechanism to your radiant core
- They are understanding of your difficulties and support you through them
- They trust your pace, as they offer you space & time to know yourself
– Do you have someone like this in your life who is championing you into full existence?
– If so, what is the greatest thing you receive from them?
– After reading this, what sensation are you left with? What does it call forth in you?
This core resource is available to you through the personal accompaniment we offer. PRH (Personality and Human Relationships) is an international school of life-long learning to discover who you truly are and what your purpose is, both for your own deepest fulfilment and for the benefit of humanity and for our global environment.

Week 48 28.11.22
3 precious tools for “knowing”
The most meaningful way to lead your life is by accessing your deep “knowing.”
In PRH there are 3 fundamental tools – a trio of pillars to support, guide, and encourage you to your authentic in-depth truth. Self-analysis – Discernment – Immersion in self.
- Self-analysis: detailed exploration of a sensation alive in you. You discover your truth from deep within (e.g. not from your head).
- Discernment: you make the most meaningful decision for now – holistic, growthful and expansive. You discover your truth from enlightened choice-making.
- Immersion in your deep self: you spend time just being with your inner world at its core. You discover your truth through pure presence.
– How familiar are you with these tools? What is your relationship to them?
– What is awoken in you by this powerful toolbox trio?
Let us know if you have any questions!
Systematic training with these tools is available to you. PRH (Personality and Human Relationships) is an international school of life-long learning to discover who you truly are and what your purpose is, both for your own deepest fulfilment and for the benefit of humanity and for our global environment.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 47 21.11.22
Where in you does your “knowing” come from?
We can often let others (individuals, family, workplace, society, etc.) “KNOW” for us.
(e.g. If I were you, I would…, this is the way it has to be done).
We can also “KNOW” at different levels within us:
- In our heads (rational, cerebral)
- In our core being (intuitive, feels right)
- In our body (through energy or vibration)
- In our deep conscience (openness to a deeper level of our whole person)
– Do you have experience of “knowing” at these different levels?
– If so, which is more fulfilling in the short-term and long-term?
– I invite you on a little journey of observing and noting down when you “know” something.
– What level does this “knowing” come from?
– What are the consequences of this for you? And for those around you?
– After doing this for a few days, see if you notice a pattern.
– Any other observations? Or invitations?
Let us know what you discover!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 46 14.11.22
What happens when you don’t know?
We often have the tendency to run our lives through an overactive head energy.
Our cerebral “I” has an innate need to know. So, what happens when that need is not met?
If you feel drawn to know more about yourself, take the time to answer the following questions in writing…
– Choose a situation with a lack of knowing, or clarity. e.g.:
- You’re ill and don’t know when you’ll get better;
- uncertain which direction to go in for your work or studies;
- unsure how a relationship will unfold;
- unaware of what tomorrow will bring, etc.
– When you don’t know something or don’t have clarity, how do you react?
How do you react to this reaction?
– Does this way of reacting and following on in the face of not knowing, help or hinder you? In the present? Long-term?
– What have you discovered or experienced new in exploring this?
What, if anything, are you curious for, or driven to do or be, as a result of it?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 45 7.11.22
What is self-compassion for you?
Self-compassion is an essential quality of our core being. It can be our greatest resource in difficult times.
You may or may not be familiar with self-compassion in your life.
– Do you want to know it better and experience it more for your greater wholeness?
- Step 1 Set aside time to consider the following questions. Choose the question you are most drawn to (you can always come back to the others later).
- Step 2 Give yourself all the time you need to connect with the sensation behind the question.
- Step 3 Explore what arises in you in writing, not going into your head, but staying close to the sensation located in your body.
– What does the word self-compassion awaken in you?
– How does self-compassion manifest in you? Or what are the signs of self-compassion in you?
– What makes it easy for you to live self-compassion? What makes it hard?
– What is your history of self-compassion?
– Who, or what, inspires you to live self-compassion?
– What are the effects on you and on your relational and material environment when you live self-compassion?
– What have you discovered new here?

Week 44 31.10.22
When is a need not healthy?
Our HEALTHY NEEDS are an intrinsic part of us. To live our lives fully and with purpose, these needs have to be met to a certain degree – either from outside of us or from within us.
However much we strive to get them satisfied, some needs can never be met. We waste a lot of energy and cause us much heartache trying to fill them, like a container which is full of holes. These are OUR UNMET NEEDS FROM THE PAST.
How can we tell the difference between a healthy need and an unmet need from the past?
The needs in themselves are the same. However, looking more closely, there are 2 important differences: where they originate in our person and how we react when we don’t get them met.
1: Where they originate in our person
– a healthy need comes from our core being or in-depth conscience
– an unmet need from the past comes from our wounded self
2: How we react when we don’t get them met
– a healthy need – we accept it and are creative and patient in moving forward with this need
– an unmet need from the past – signs of anger, anxiety, frustration, obsession, lack of acceptance, etc. The need is disproportionate and gradually becomes more tyrannical
You’re invited to get to know your needs better over the next week
– Step 1 – Notice your needs on a daily basis and name them
– Step 2 – For each one, note if it feels like a healthy or unmet need from the past
– Step 3 – What are the specific signs for each case? What do you notice?
– What sensation are you left with? Anything that calls you to move forward?

Week 43 24.10.22
Not owning our healthy needs and what we can do about it…
If our healthy needs were not met repeatedly in the past, we finally gave up on trying to get them satisfied. We learned to repress them and override them by diverting them, distracting ourselves, and compensating in other ways. We minimised them. We may continue to minimise them today.
When a plant lacks water, light, nutrients, good soil, space, etc., it withers or grows stunted and open to disease…
In the same way, when our healthy needs are not met over time, something essential in us withers, gets held back, is left isolated and buried. We fragment off from that part and continue on, adapting with what we do have, in order to survive.
Yes, we survive, but we don’t thrive. We are no longer connected to our wholeness. This is most damaging for our truth, our purpose, our fulfilment, our well-being and inner harmony.
How can we recover the missing parts, and our wholeness? Here are 3 important first steps, if you’re interested…
– Step 1 – Start to name your healthy needs regularly – get help if you find this hard
– Step 2 – “Own” them as an intrinsic part of you and your self-dignity – get help if you want to learn more about this
– Step 3 – Be clear that A HEALTHY NEED and GETTING IT MET are 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. Honour the need, while detaching from the outcome.
Embodying this is for grown-ups only! If you want clarification and help on this, ask for it.
May you journey well with your healthy needs!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 42 17.10.22
How close am I to my healthy needs?
Healthy needs are an integral part of life, of our shared humanity, and of the unfolding of our true being.
They are just as much a part of us as our biology and our inner gifts.
What relationship do you have with your healthy needs? To explore this, take the time to follow these steps…
– Step 1: Write down 3 of your current uppermost healthy needs. Some examples: my need for a life-giving environment; my need for love and understanding; my need to be recognised and accepted in my gifts and in my limits; my need to be respected in my efforts and my pace; my need for the presence and accompaniment of others as I journey; etc. etc.
– Step 2: What is my relationship to these needs? e.g. I resist them, I ignore them, I respect them, I take them seriously, etc. I answer in my own words
– Step 3: What consequences does this response have on me and on my growth?
– What sensation am I left with at the end?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 41 10.10.22
What healthy need do I feel called to prioritise today?
We often take our healthy needs for granted.
Being aware of our healthy needs and following them, can be our fast route out of disempowerment and into greater self-love, fulfilment and purpose.
Whether you are ill in bed, or navigating a difficult day at work, or sailing through an uplifting week, etc., etc. why not ask yourself….
– What healthy need do I feel called to prioritise today?
– Take time to get in touch with it and write it down.
– How are you going to move forward with it concretely?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 40 3.10.22
After the WHO and the WHAT, let’s focus on the WHY!
Once we know, in any given time frame, who we want to become, or what we want to accomplish, we need to look at our motivation to do so.
It’s important to take a moment to go beyond the automatic, or the logical, and behind anything we do or who we are, to consider and connect with our deeper drive and purpose.
Step 1: After naming clearly what I am aiming for, I ask myself: What motivates me to go in this direction?
Step 2: I don’t answer immediately from my head. I pause and let a sensation rise in me and take on form and substance.
Step 3: I relish naming my motivation as clearly, precisely, and fully as I can.
How do I feel at the end of this process? What has happened with my motivation?

Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 39 26.9.22
What has been most meaningful for me today?
Whether amid world or national events, local or family situations, or just personal circumstances…..it is worth pausing, asking yourself, and taking the time to write down your answer…
– What has been most meaningful for me today?
– Why was it meaningful?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 38 19.9.22
Who do you want to be by the end of the year?
Having looked at our attitude to learning, let’s now look at our growth intention for the next three months.
Naming our intention focuses our whole person. It also allows for our closer collaboration with Life.
Want to give it a go? Follow these steps…
– Step 1
I connect to my present reality and anchor myself in my determination to move forward.
– Step 2
Mindful of my time frame, I listen to what I’d like to be living by the end of that time.
– Step 3
I name this intention clearly in writing. e.g.
- a greater capacity to pause before I respond to my partner
- more confidence in myself in my work
- clear the clutter in a room in my house
- write a chapter of the book I’ve always wanted to write
- have a regular exercise programme, etc.
– Step 4
What is my motivation to live this?
– Step 5
What are the resources that will help me get there?
The PRH FPM (Methodical Personal Growth) programme offers a structure to guide and personalise your growth plan. You can ask for details.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 37 12.9.22
What does this photograph awaken in you?
– Step back, ponder, and ask, “What can I learn about myself from this?”
– How can this help you to grow?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 36 5.9.22
What is your relationship to learning?
As we transition here in Europe from holidays to a new academic year and the start of adult evening classes and learning programmes, let’s consider our relationship to learning…
It starts with our attitude. If you’re curious to know more about yourself, take time to get in touch with the sensation triggered by each question and unpack it by journaling on it.
– What’s my attitude to learning?
- e.g. I love it and embrace it! I am born to learn!
- I never think about it….
- I resist it. Learning means school and I hated school
- etc.
– Where does this attitude come from in me? e.g. my ideas, other people, my defence mechanism, my inner being, etc.
– When in my life did it originate?
– What are the consequences of my attitude to learning on me, and on my life?
– What am I left with at the end? Does anything stir in me that I feel called to take forward?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 35 29.8.22
When it’s time to move on… (integrating transitions)
Here in Europe the summer holidays are coming to an end, and we transition into a different phase of life. How can we make this change growthful?
A simple way of integrating any transition is to ask yourself “How do I feel at the different levels of my person?
At the end of the summer (or whatever):
– how do I feel in my sensibility (feeling centre)? e.g., sad at the loss of the greater freedom in summer… or excited at the new structure or focus coming my way….or a bit of both, etc.
– how do I respond at the level of my “I”? e.g., I know all good things must come to an end…. I’m ready for something new….. why do I hate change so much? etc.
– how do I feel in my body? e.g., relaxed and at ease, or energised, or I have a knot in my stomach, my neck hurts, etc.
– how do I feel at the level of my inner being? e.g., I aspire to accept, I feel a deep sense of being part of the flow, I am determined to face it.
I pause and detach from all levels and anchor myself in a neutral space within me. Here in my deep conscience, I listen.
– What potential, or expansion, am I being called to live in these circumstances? g., My flexibility….my joy at change… my acceptance of reality, my trust in Life, etc.
Why not give this a go, get to know yourself better and surprise yourself!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 34 22.8.22
The holidays – what an inspiration!
Whether the holidays mean unplugging, or increasing your activity and connections, they can serve as a precious resource for your ongoing growth and expansion.
All you have to do (and no effort required!) is ask yourself:
– What have the holidays spontaneously inspired in you e.g. your desire for greater balance, your sense of self-worth, your social side, your determination to paint, write, travel, etc.?
– What 3 things have NATURALLY come alive or increased due to your holidays? Give yourself time to note them down e.g. enrol for a class, follow a growth programme, organise more family visits, etc.
– What, from within, do you feel called to do to materialise each inspiration into your life?
Be inspired! Have fun!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 33 15.8.22
What is growing, or has grown in you, due to your holidays?
For me it’s:
- a sense of spaciousness
- my aspiration to take extra care of my sensibility and body
- my capacity to look deeper into myself
- my openness to my daily natural world
- my appreciation of old friends
- and my capacity to indulge in my passion of reading
– What has grown for you due to the holidays?
– Do you feel closer to your true self as a result?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 32 8.8.22
What do the holidays mean to you? Your pivotal centres #2
When we take a holiday break, whether long or short, at home or away, we are creating around us A NEW ENVIRONMENT, different from the usual.
What effect does this welcome change have on each of our pivotal centres (mind, body, feeling centre, inner being)?
In order to gain more from this new environment, why not ask yourself – and take time to journal your responses….
– How does my mind (“I”) benefit from holidays?
– How does my body benefit from holidays?
– How does my feeling centre (sensibility) benefit from holidays?
– How does my inner being benefit from holidays?
– What sensation are you left with at the end?
HAPPY SUMMER (OR WINTER) HOLIDAYS!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 31 1.8.22
What do the holidays mean to you? #1
In the Northern Hemisphere it is the season for holidays. It’s a time for doing things differently, away from our normal routine.
– What are the different elements you wish to have in your holidays this year?
- A break from work or routine? Yes!
- More time to spend with family, friends and loved ones?
- More time to spend away from family, friends and loved ones?
- Time to:
- discover more
- read more
- play more
- rest more
- learn something new
- visit unknown places
- connect more to your inner world
- etc. ?
– In other words, what do you feel drawn to ENGAGE WITH more?
– What do you feel drawn to DISCONNECT FROM more?
– What is your DEEPEST INTENTION for your holidays?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 30 25.7.22
Addressing difficulties Part 5
– Are you DETERMINED to transform your difficulties through living your deeper truth?
A way to empower ourselves in our truth is to face our challenges from the life force in us.
Felt deep within us, our determination (not to be confused with our will at a head level) is a concrete manifestation of our evolutionary life force.
Where do you locate your determination to grow? What does your determination feel like? Is it calling you to anything in this moment?
A powerful little exercise to try: –
– STEP 1: Facing a difficulty, connect with your determination to grow.
– STEP 2: Connect with ONE OTHER QUALITY or DEEP VALUE from your inner being e.g. love for yourself.
– STEP 3: Feel their combined power and listen for the inner impulse of the next concrete step being asked of you. Follow it!
– What change did you gain from this transformational practice?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 29 18.7.22
Addressing difficulties Part 4
Are you open to increasing your capacity to love?
Every difficulty can take you further along the path to greater love if you only know how to approach it.
All difficulties are relational at their base.
Your first relationship is with yourself.
In any of your difficulties, notice whether you love yourself or punish, or dismiss, yourself.
Facing any difficulty, if you wish to grow, you must first love yourself!
A key way of learning how to love yourself more is through help from a professional accompanist or therapist, where relational difficulties, past and present, will inevitably arise for you to address in partnership. What a privilege!
For further guidance and help with this process, you could gift yourself some 1 to 1 accompaniment and training from a PRH personal accompaniment professional.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 28 11.7.22
Addressing difficulties Part 3
Ready to collaborate with Life and Truth?
We’ve looked at our willingness to let go of the old and bring in the new in the face of our difficulties. Now we can take this a step further to deepen our oneness with Life.
By listening deeper within ourselves, we can connect and collaborate with the gifts that Life has in abundance for us on our own unique path.
How to do this?
One way is through PRH DISCERNMENT – the inclusive way to inner unity, peace and freedom.
– Ready to try it before a difficulty?
- STEP 1: Pause, detach, and anchor yourself in your taste for truth and willingness to learn in depth.
- STEP 2: Select your realistic options.
- STEP 3: Before each option, check out your reaction at the different levels – your thoughts, your feelings, your body, and your deep self.
- STEP 4: Pause and detach again. Return to the neutral space deep within you (deep conscience) that is inclusive of everything.
- STEP 5: Let that be a holding space for all your options without attachment. Sense if one option is calling you more energetically into growth and expansion.
Life and your Truth are always calling you to More of you, if you only stop, and listen, and enter into the game consciously.
For further help with this process, you could gift yourself some 1 to 1 training and support from a PRH educator.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 27 4.7.22
Addressing difficulties Part 2
- Willing to change?
Facing difficulties gives us the opportunity to look more closely at old patterns that restrict us and…
…welcome and embrace new treasures and healthy alignments that are calling to live in us.
How to do this? Through RE-EDUCATION – the highly effective systematic method of personal change.
- Willing to try it?
Facing a difficulty, choose an attitude, behaviour or tendency in you that you want to change e.g. fear of getting it wrong. - Anchor yourself in your truth. From there decide on the new attitude, behaviour or habit you wish to call forth instead e.g. acceptance of what might be.
- Practice replacing the old one with the new – each and every time it comes up.
- Note down and enjoy the benefits of this step-by-step empowerment technique.
- Go further in the nuances of this with 1 to 1 training and support from a PRH educator.
Observe how your difficulties shapeshift in line with your willingness to change!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 26 27.6.22
Addressing difficulties Part 1
Curious? Yes!
STEP 1. Faced with a difficulty that isn’t easily solved, I first need to take my attention off the external problem and on to myself.
STEP 2. Am I curious to understand more about myself in this situation? Or do I just want to get rid of the problem as quickly as possible and get back to ‘normal’?
STEP 3. Connecting to my curiosity and desire to know more about myself, I can discover what this situation is reflecting to me. Looking at the different reactions/levels within me, how and/or why might I function the way I do?
Even better still! STEP 4. Curiosity can lead me towards fresh discoveries, growth, change, and fulfilment, through specific and practical new paths. For example: I discover a new inner motivation to reconnect with somebody.
An ideal resource for this is the PRH theory and model of the person, (used worldwide since the 1970’s) to which you then apply your own experience using different practical tools.
Still curious? You can get 1 to 1 training and support from a PRH educator, or join a workshop, if possible.
If you wish – note a present difficulty and go through the different steps – on your own or with help from a PRH professional.
Let your curiosity lead the way!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 25 20.6.22
Am I curious about my difficulties?
Last week we looked at our initial approach to difficulties in community. Now, let’s face them constructively….
- Before a problem, am I:
– CURIOUS to understand more about myself?
– WILLING to acknowledge my outdated handicaps, and to welcome new treasures within me?
– READY to collaborate with my travelling companions, Life and Truth?
– OPEN to increase my capacity to love?
– DETERMINED to empower myself in the momentum of growth?
- If you give yourself time to consider these questions and attitudes, what sensation are you left with?
- What has grown in you?
Join us as we look at these attitudes one by one in the next few posts, to see how you can
turn rocks into springboards….
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 24 13.6.22
How do you deal with your difficulties in community?
Last week we named our difficulties and where they stem from. Now let’s look at how we deal with them……
With a problem, do you tend to:
- externalise it (blame the other, the situation, life etc. and/or go into magical thinking that if only something on the outside changed, all would be well)?
- internalise it (underexist – as a victim, and feel shame, guilt, self-judgment or conversely, overexist through entitlement, superiority, escape, etc.)?
- face it from a grounded, balanced, inclusive, “bigger picture” perspective?
What are the consequences on your life and on others of your tendency?
What comes alive in you after this exercise?

Week 23 6.6.22
What are your difficulties in being yourself in community?
You may find your difficulties in community come from:
- a sense of not finding “your” community
- your inability to be your authentic self and take your rightful place within your community
- the interpersonal dynamics within the group (e.g. a dominating personality, fear of being judged)
- your own intrapersonal dynamics (e.g. unhealthy self-image, your fear of suffering, etc.)
- etc.
All our relational difficulties stem from unmet needs or aspirations!
- You are invited to make a list of your difficulties and, with each one, name the unmet need and/or aspiration behind it
What’s your sensation at the end of this self-enquiry? What does it call you to?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 22 30.5.22
What’s your deep-down aspiration?
Continuing the theme of community (see recent posts)…
– What do you aspire to “live and give” in community that is not yet emerged, or fully emerged, in you?
For example, I aspire to:
- share my material resources, creativity, qualities of being, etc. for a common purpose
- offer my gifts as leader (or treasurer, or mediator etc.)
- live my capacity for self-dignity in community
Surprise yourself! You’re invited to take a little time to consider this and note down your responses in writing.
Describing clearly your deep calling from your inner being is a way of honouring it, and is an important step to bringing it into reality.
Then, you can ask yourself: what is one small, concrete step I can do to live this quality/value/resource today?
Enjoy taking your part in nurturing your potential gifts for the good of all…

Week 21 23.5.22
In community – what gifts do you bring?
Last week we looked at which community values and vision inspire and enhance our inner fire.
This week you’re invited to choose 1 or 2 of your most meaningful communities (e.g. a social club, a charity committee, a PRH group, etc.)
– What gifts or qualities of yours do you contribute in them?
– Give yourself the time to make a list of these qualities. On a scale of 0-9, how strongly emerged are they in you?
– When you’ve finished, what’s your sensation? Have you discovered anything new?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 20 16.5.22
Which community really inspires you?
You are invited to choose 1 or 2 communities that inspire you through their vision and values.
– What are their vision and values that ignite your inner spark?
– What are their vision and values that fan the flames of your inner fire and spirit?
Enjoy taking the time to answer these questions in writing.
Then give yourself a “time for being”, communing in silence with whatever is alive in you at your core.
Then note down any benefits or discoveries you make!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 19 9.5.22
Community – what does this word awaken in you?
You are invited to list up to 10 words that you associate with ‘community’ – e.g. belonging, sharing, outsider, building a future, fun, diversity, suffering, like-minded, isolated, etc.
– What sensation are you left with at the end?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 18 2.5.22
Centre of gravity – are you an excluder or an includer?
We have been taking a little walk around our pivotal centres to get to know better our centre of gravity (the pivotal centre that we naturally prioritise and react from. e.g. our feelings, or our thoughts, or our inner being…)
Our internal and external world are BOTH important.
We need to live in an up AND down direction (see last week’s post).
ALL our pivotal centres need to be taken into account (just because they exist!).
The key to facilitate our growth and expansion to another level lies in:
- NOT TO EXCLUDE ANYTHING
- the ORDER we live our pivotal centres
- the RESPONSIBILITY we take over the order we live our pivotal centres
Do you cherish each of your pivotal centres? If so, how? If not, why not?
Where do you sense the place of unification of all your pivotal centres?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 17 25.4.22
Up or down?
In which half of you, does your centre of gravity lie?
In any situation, you react spontaneously and involuntarily.
What happens in the next moment?
Do you stay with your feelings and/or thoughts?
Going up from your middle?
Or do you go downwards from your middle and connect with your inner being and/or deep conscience?
What are the consequences in each case when you go in one way, or the other?
You’re invited to observe yourself this week in how you react to your reactions.
Up or down? Be curious and have fun learning about your tendencies!
Next week, we’ll take it a step further.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 16 18.4.22
Inside or outside? Inner world or external world?
Following our recent posts, we hope you’re enjoying paying more attention to your “centre of gravity” – the pivotal centre which naturally pulls you the most and from where you spontaneously react. Maybe you are already practising changing it…. Nice!
If not, here is a simple step to start you off and help you become more aware.
How do you start your day?
Do you start by looking at, and thinking about, the outside world? (e.g. I consider the weather, I look at my phone, I read the news, I reflect on my schedule for the day, etc)
Or do you start on the inside, taking into account your inner world? (e.g., I notice what I’m feeling, I give space to what’s going on inside me, I connect with a constructive attitude for the day, I may take time for meditation or time for being, etc.)
Where is your attention’s starting place?
You could stop once a day and notice – am I starting from inside or outside? Note your examples. At the end of the week, what insights do you have? Have you made any changes?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 15 11.4.22
How can you change your centre of gravity?
You may have noticed that your centre of gravity (the pivotal centre which spontaneously pulls you into action, or reaction) keeps leaving you feeling dissatisfied and ungrounded in the long-term.
Here are 6 simple steps to changing it.
- PAUSE
- DETACH
- FIND A NEUTRAL SPACE within you
- LISTEN TO YOUR GUT and ANY ASPIRATION that comes from this deep place within you in this moment
- CONNECT with that and GROUND YOURSELF in it
- From this place, and its energy, TAKE ACTION
You have taken charge of your own centre of gravity! Keep practising this and it will become more and more natural, energising and solidifying.
If you wish, try this exercise 3 times this week.
What do you notice?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 14 4.4.22
Where is your centre of gravity in your daily life?
To what direction am I naturally pulled?
We’re going to explore this theme systematically over the next few posts.
We have different pivotal centres: our body, thinking centre, feeling centre, core positive essence, deep conscience. We can also be drawn by our relational environment (other people) and material environment (things, places, nature, etc).
Each pivotal centre has its own energy and pull at any given moment.
Generally, which one naturally pulls you the most? Where do you spontaneously react from? What do you prioritise? Your feelings, your ideas, your body’s needs, your deep intuition, etc.? Pleasing others, feeling safe, following your own “rules”, growing in inner truth, etc.?
You might like to look at this in different areas of your life e.g., work, relationships, family, voluntary work, leisure time, spiritual life, etc. You can take time to explore it in in your growth journal, through writing, or in creative expression.
What do you discover new about yourself and your main centre of gravity?

Week 13 28.3.22
What can I do to help? How best can I serve?
This is something we are forever asking ourselves. Whether to help ourselves personally, supporting those around us who need help or guidance, or collaborating on a global and planetary level.
Before DOING anything, let’s get back to basics……
Our life force energy and how we co-create with it, is fundamental.
Let’s recall Mahatma Gandhi’s quote: “There is a force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.” If we permit it …..
We can serve best, by just allowing Life to come through us.
Here’s a little exercise for the week.
- Listen within
- What one thing do you feel drawn to do to help yourself, others, the planet, humanity?
- Is anything stopping you? What ideas are getting in your way? What feelings are holding you back? Take the time to write them all down
- Return to that place where you feel the life force emerge in you (see previous posts) and contemplate those difficulties from there. What arises in you?
Come with curiosity. Come with openness. Come with joyful anticipation. And miracles can appear.
That’s how we serve.

Week 12 21.3.22
Championing my life force – how can I do this?
Notice how children are especially in touch with their life force. It appears dynamic, natural, and spontaneous.
The life force is innate in all of us, but we may at times lose our sense of it through life circumstances.
In order to live our lives more fully, we can cooperate with, and champion, this gift freely given to us.
How can I create the best environment for my life force energy to appear?
1. Give it more space by noticing it and welcoming it (see recent posts). Wonder at it! Mary
2. Re-educate what represses or diminishes it (e.g.my static self-image, my ideas, my conditioning, my behaviour etc.)
3. Express creatively all my feelings around it, past and present (e.g. through journaling or art)
4. Respect my body – and listen to the messages it gives me
5. Prioritise life-giving connections which can activate it, collaborate with its creative energy, and increase its momentum
Enjoy joining in the fun game we can all play with universal energy! Watch your uniqueness unfold….
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 11 14.3.22
How can you be proactive with your life force energy?
In the last 2 weeks you have been invited to co-operate with your life force energy by listening to what wanted to live in you as you faced any concrete situation. A new way of how to react in circumstances!
Here’s what you can do to collaborate IN ADVANCE of life happening to you.
- Every morning, take a moment to pause quietly
- Note the context of your day
- Then ask yourself: What wants to live in me, or through me, today?
- Make sure you focus your attention below the neck
- Pause, take your time, and listen to what gift, value, reality, or aspiration rises naturally
- Be patient, welcoming and grateful for whatever comes up
If you decide to try this out, see how it then affects your day. Note your observations.
Have fun with this collaboration with your life force energy! Enjoy co-creating!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 10 7.3.22
How can I support my inner activist?
We’ve already seen how situations call us to co-operate with our life force energy. Some contexts shout more loudly.
In the face of human injustice, trauma, and tragedy we can act horizontally (outwardly) by doing, by helping, by fighting. We can be active.
However, we can also act vertically (inwardly) by connecting to and trusting the inner life in us that is clamouring to express itself before this drama. We can trust in our inner life and can believe in it because we feel it at a visceral level.
For example, we can trust in our aspiration to live peace, or human dignity, or solidarity in the face of unprovoked trauma.
We can have quiet moments for contemplation and connection to this true quality (times for being in PRH).
We can be inspired by others who have the same inner aspiration and conviction. We can feel connected with them on a deep level of solidarity.
We can allow ourselves to feel the aspiration in us as an arrow going out, feel its energy and direction, but not be attached to outcome. This is true empowerment.
We can open up to the transcendent aspect of this quality in us. And feel expanded by the experience.
We can explore this quality in us in writing (PRH analysis).
Etc.
What deep reality is being called to be activated or reactivated within you?
How do you feel drawn to support your inner activist?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 9 28.2.22
What wants to live in me now?
Whatever the context I find myself in, I can enable and empower myself by aligning with the life force or dynamism within me.
This life force is constantly working on and driving my growth through the unfolding of my inner being.
Rather than ignoring or minimising it, I just need to align with this life force by listening to it as it acts on my inner being.
This way I collaborate with the unfolding of my potential.
All I need to do is ask myself the question: What wants to live in me now in the face of these circumstances?
Or perhaps: Which of my qualities/values/deep realities do I feel deeply drawn to connect to, to face what I’m facing?
Then I just pause and listen for what rises up naturally in me.
If you feel called to, try this out at least 3 times this week…. What do you notice each time? What have you learned by the end of the week?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 8 21.2.22
What gifts appear naturally in you today?
In our core being lies all our potential and gifts for the world. Yep.
But we often take for granted what is most natural and essential to us. What a waste!
But here’s what we can do – consciously live a gift and name it. This can enhance our experience of it and help it to grow, and through that, increase the flow of life, inspiration, and harmony in us and in our community and environment.
Each day you could ask yourself:
What 3 gifts have I lived naturally today? What effect did this have on me each time?
Examples: My capacity for organisation. I then felt purposeful and more focused. More me.
My love for my cat – I then felt more grounded in love and at one with the world.
My sense of humour – I then felt bubbly and joyful, and connected to something bigger than me.
At the end of the week, you may ask yourself:
What have I learned from this exercise? What does it call me to?

Week 7 14.2.22
Something new …. How do you integrate it?
When you discover something new, if you want the true benefits, you have to play an active part in integrating it into your life.
Integration involves change:
Change of your self-image
Change of your behaviour
Change of your ideas
What steps do YOU take to integrate something new and make constructive changes?
Have fun this week noticing how you integrate what’s new for you!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 6 7.2.22
What distracts you from what’s new?
This month we’ve been looking at all the benefits of gathering what’s new.
But what gets in the way of you doing that? What keeps you stuck in the old?
Habit: You just do things automatically, repeating what you know. Habits are safe and comfortable.
Focus: Are you focused on survival – not evolution? Keen on preservation, rather than innovation? Are you drawn to repetitive distractions which keep your attention away from new life?
Ideas: e.g. “I don’t deserve anything to change” or “I don’t expect anything to change”, “What’s the point of looking for the new?”, etc.
Fear: you fear letting go of the old. Holding on to what is familiar brings a sense of safety. Whatever is new, or unfamiliar, is disturbing for our self-image and status quo.
This week, ask yourself:
– Do I fall into any of these traps that take my gaze away from noticing and welcoming what’s new? Which ones?
– What do I feel drawn to do about it?
– What are my motivations to do so?
Immerse yourself in the river of life!
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 5 31.1.22
What does your ‘new’ look like?
Origin
Is it:
– A new insight?
– A new experiencing (especially of an aspect of your inner being)?
– A new inner invitation, intention or direction?
– A new element in your material environment?
– A new element in your human environment?
Degree of emergence
Is it:
– something that has never appeared before?
– something that was already there but has now taken on more prominence?
– a new connection between two previous separate elements?
Ask yourself these questions on 3 new things this week.
What grows inside you as a result?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 4 24.1.22
What’s your motivation to be open to “what’s new” this week?
Gather your motivation.
Does it reflect you as a “consumer” or “transformer”?
Consumer signs: “what’s new” as an escape, filling a gap, rarely fully satisfied, based on “needs”.
Transformer signs: “what’s new” welcomed as revelation, followed by steps to integration, used to contribute to your evolution and expansion, leading you closer to your truth, based on “aspirations”.
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 3 17.1.22
T. S. Eliot – “Every moment is a fresh beginning.”
How to make every moment a fresh beginning:
– Be curious
– Be present
– Be open to receive
– Be aligned within
– Be guided by your being and deep conscience
– Exercise your capacity to wonder muscle
What do you do, or aspire to do, to experience every moment as a fresh beginning?
Robina Scott – PRH England Educator
Week 2 10.1.22
A growth journey is a process of discovery and integration.
Our awareness of what’s new, together with what we do with it, play a significant part in the PRH method.
Join us this month in an exploration of this important aspect.
Begin by considering what “new” means to you. On a scale of 0-10, what priority do you give it in your life and on your growth path?
