Today an unexpected opportunity for adventure presented itself 🙂 . I was supposed to be interviewing my brilliant friend Tiffany Kay about her new book but she got poorly. I sat down and decided to listen for a call to adventure (I haven’t tried this before!) and sure enough some words came straight to mind : “quantum jumping“.
I’ve only recently heard about this personal development technique. It sounds a bit mind-boggling at first when Burt Goldman (the developer of this process) talks about visiting your own doppelgänger in a parallel universe but I found the idea enticing. I would have the opportunity to visit another version of me, in another universe ~ a version of me who had already succeeded at something I’d like to be successful at in my own universe!
Whether you believe in the theories of multiverse or whether you simply trust the imaginative and wise capability of your own unconscious mind (and see Burt’s invitation as a metaphorical process), I would recommend giving quantum jumping a go.
You can find out how I got on with the process in today’s video ~

Today heralded a double dose of TV adventuring for me! You might be able to sense from today’s shows that I’m becoming a lot more relaxed and a lot more present to the conversation. I’ve really enjoyed the playful connection with my 2 guests today – it felt like we we were really sharing an adventure.
This morning I chatted with my talented friend Cara Wilde . Cara is an empath, channel and trained energy therapist who is passionate about living authentically. In this programme, Cara invites us into the world of channelling. It was lovely for our two different world views to find a point of connection.
This evening I interviewed the fabulous Stephanie Johnson. Steff is a HUGE fan of the Eurovision contest. In this programme, Steff talks about her fascination for the event and gives her opinion about what makes for a good Eurovision entry. If you catch the Eurovision bug as a result of Steff’s enthusiasm, you can get into the contest groove here and here 🙂 .

Today we meet my brilliant friend, David Orchard! David is a wine expert and our conversation today is all about cutting through the hype of a Bordeaux wine label so that we can make better informed purchase decisions.
It’s been a while since I’ve drunk any wine from Bordeaux : a few disappointing (and expensive purchases) were enough to put me off. David explains, in a really informative and entertaining way, how the marketing of wine can really interfere with our decision- making processes( and limit out opportunity for positive wine-tasting experiences). He also shares some top tips for buying wine from this famous wine region.
I’ve put some helpful links below the video to help with your wine-exploring adventures! You can find out more about David, and check out the full schedule of shows, over at Jane Talbot TV.
Here are some of the links that David mentioned in today’s show : 1855 ; Interest In Wine ; Wine-Searcher

You might actually know me well enough by now to raise your eyebrows at the thought of me reading a Mills and Boon romance. Well, as the saying goes, “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.”
I’ve never read one of these books before and wondered what the experience might offer me. Watch today’s video to find out whether it was all hearts and flowers for me (or not….. 😛 )

This morning, as usual, I took my dog out for a walk. I take him on the same route most mornings. When I got back to the house and closed the door behind me, I suddenly realised that I’d “sleep-walked” the whole way. It was like I was walking a memory of a walk, my body had been walking but my head was elsewhere ~ not really paying attention, not really present, not really fully aware of my surroundings.
So, for today’s adventure, I turned right around and headed back out to walk the route again. This time with my eyes open . This time opening my awareness right up and waiting for something to catch my attention.
Watch today’s video to see what happened! (I took some photographs of the things that caught my attention : you’ll find more images below the video 🙂 ).

For today’s TV adventure, I’m talking to my brilliant friend, Oona McFarlane. Oona is a fire-walk instructor (and trainer of fire-walk instructors) who runs a magical holistic centre near Loch Lomond, Scotland.
In today’s programme, Oona talks about her relationship with fire, how she came to be a fire-walk instructor and describes what you can expect to experience at a fire-walk. She’s a passionate advocate of the healing and transformational spirit of fire ~ and she shares that sparky passion with us today!
You can watch today’s programme below. For more details about Oona, and to view the rest of the series schedule, just pop over to Jane Talbot TV .

On today’s show, I’m talking to my friend, Leslie Marsh, about all things shamanic. If you’ve ever wondered what shamanism is or wondered how someone gets “called” to be a shaman, then this show is for you! Leslie describes the tools of a shaman in a really accessible way and gives us insights into how shamanic practices can support a journey of healing and transformation.

Today I woke up with a cosmic adventure in mind! For my 105th adventure, I watched the live-streaming of the total lunar eclipse. At 08.45am UK time, I watched the eclipse pass into the “totality” phase. This morning I saw my first “live” blood moon. This morning I saw red hot dragon’s breath enveloping the moon. This morning I shared the celebrations, and awe, of those watching live in the Griffith observatory in California. This morning I welcomed our moon safely back home. This morning I felt connected to this small, wondrous corner of our universe. This morning I felt connected to all the people watching this celestial event. This morning I felt connected to it all. (I have the feeling that my adventuring is waking me up to the aliveness of my experiences. In fact, I am feeling more alive!)
You can hear more about my experiences, and my thoughts on the benefits of adventuring, in today’s video. You can also watch a time-lapse version of today’s eclipse on CNN here. I have also popped a copy of an Adventure Report from 2012 (talking about the Venus transit) below the video ~ I think it may make you smile 🙂 .
Adventure Report June 2012 ~ Stalking The Venus Transit
Can anyone remember all that kerfuffle at the beginning of June 2012 about the Venus transit? Sky-watchers around the world were excited about witnessing a cosmic spectacle : this was an extremely rare opportunity since only six Venus transits have been observed since the invention of the telescope more than 400 years ago.
Transits happen when a planet crosses between Earth and the sun. After 2012, we won’t see another transit of Venus until 2117. If you are reading this, it means that the transit on the 5/6th June 2012 was your last chance! And that’s what I thought when I heard about it – this is my chance to witness something that I’ll never have the chance to witness again. And the really magic thing about the whole transit was this : the very last place on Earth it would be visible would be Northern Ireland (where I live!).
Morphing myself rapidly into a cosmic geek, I trawled the internet for information. I found out where the transit would be visible, I made sure I knew precisely at what time the sun would rise (the time at which the transit would be visible), I researched how to view the transit safely and I got myself rather excited about the prospect of getting up at 3:45am.
When the alarm went off, I felt like Indiana Jones. With adventure practically boiling in my blood, I leapt (okay, it may have looked like crawling to the untrained eye) into our van, hauling my half-asleep partner with me. Wooly hats firmly on, flasks of tea brewed and all cosmic tracking equipment stowed safely, we set off for Murlough Bay (one of the recommended viewing sights).
As we drove towards the coast, we could see the glimmer of dawn in the sky. Nervous anticipation built the closer we got to the sea ~ a Starsky and Hutch-style evacuation of the van ensued as we hurried not to miss our chance. Ian put up the projector screen and unpacked a set of 1950s binoculars. We were to hold up the large end of the binoculars to the sun and watch the transit on the screen.
Secretly I was thrilled about the fact that no-one else was there ~ that we had this beautiful place all to ourselves. Eventually the glimmer of light grew into the glare of dawn : it was the most awe-inspiring sight you could imagine. Still waters, a clear view over to the Mull of Kintyre, Ailsa Craig and right around to Islay and the Paps of Jura. Scotland looked a pebble’s throw away and the force of the cosmos felt like it was growing under my feet.
Eyes fixed firmly on the projector screen, we saw nothing .No transit. Just the passing of a few clouds. And yet there was no disappointment. Why? Because I felt that I had fully seized the day; I had embraced the moment that the day had presented and I had enjoyed the excitement of the whole experience. I had felt like an intrepid explorer.
We packed away our equipment and stored this experience with all the other “glad we gave it a go”experiences.
Funny thing is ~ it turned out we were 24 hours early for the cosmic event! We would never have seen it on the day we went : we did get up and do the same thing the next day but it was white-out conditions with nothing to be seen at all (and not half as exciting as the previous day’s experience).
The lesson this adventure taught me was this : it’s not just important to seize special opportunities ~ it’s important to seize every opportunity, to seize every day. In the act of seizing, you can experience life in its fullest force (regardless of what is happening). Venus transits maybe special but they are not a patch on the possibility that every day brings to us humans. Every day holds life-affirming adventure for all of us : now go and find it J
