  • Borderlines and Breaking Points: Pakistan-Afghanistan at the Edge

    Borderlines and Breaking Points: Pakistan-Afghanistan at the Edge
    Apr 9 2026
    A major flashpoint in central Asia that’s escaped the world headlines given what’s been happening in the Gulf is our focus for this week’s episode of Impact!, as we consider the long running dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan that has flared significantly during recent weeks. We look at the widescale humanitarian crisis this has provoked and a dangerous time of cross-border militancy and border militarization. As important talks continue in talks in Urumqi, we understand a little of the background to what has happened and what prospects exist for peace. As always, please join us in holding intentions and offering prayers for the issues that arise. Intentions and prayers start at 14 minutes 6 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on the tense stand-off between Pakistan and Afghanistan, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that those gathering for talks in Urumqi will be moved to seek a permanent peace, even if this may involve compromising on their preferred policies. Please join us in holding this.

  • How to Pray for the Gulf: Responding to an Ever-changing Quagmire

    How to Pray for the Gulf: Responding to an Ever-changing Quagmire
    Apr 16 2026
    With such a fast-changing situation in the Gulf, and the rhetoric coming from the White House changing at breathtaking speed, how can we hold specific prayers and intentions for what is unfolding there and its implications–beyond our immediate responses to the issues of the moment? This is our focus for this edition of Impact! We quickly turn to suggesting specific intentions that are more ongoing rather than generalised as broad requests, such as desiring for lasting peace and a resolution to the deep divisions between Iranian and US/Israeli demands. The episode outlines immediate and mid‑ to long‑term concerns—displacement, economic ripple effects, and humanitarian needs—and offers short guided intentions listeners can use to pray for mercy, wisdom, protection, and fair post‑conflict governance whatever particular headlines are shifting our attention day-to-day. Intention and prayers start at 16 minutes 5 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on how we can pray for what is a constantly changing situation in the Gulf, we suggest offering pure lovingkindness as our main intention: We will that all beings who are prosecuting war in the Gulf, or who are directly impacted by such actions, will be bathed in pure, compassionate light. Please join us in holding this. Specific intentions we suggest holding are follows: We ask for an outflowing of mercy for all who are suffering because of the conflict in the Gulf, for them to know and have reassurance of divine promise, whatever their physical suffering and loss. We will that those living under threat of attack have courage and wisdom to know how best to protect themselves and their loved ones. We pray for wisdom for leaders, diplomats and military decision‑makers, including international actors who may exert influence either within or beyond the public domain, and also for those whose national security is directly threatened by the conflict, especially in the Arabian Peninsula and Lebanon. We ask for wisdom for those seeking to mediate a path to a just, durable peace across the wider Middle East. We will that those who come to such talks do so with a resolve to find such a peace and with an open readiness to truth‑telling and having the courage to choose a non‑violent path. We ask for those seeking and implementing post-conflict arrangements to will for fair and sound governance, to implement what is agreed, and to commit to staying that course. We will that the wounded, bereaved and traumatised in the Gulf receive comfort, healing and the practical help they need. We pray that refugees displaced by the conflict will be held in protective light, welcomed and supported in their host communities. We ask that there will be a will among Gulf nations to resist a move to draconian restrictions on free speech and civil freedoms under a pretext of tightening domestic security. We pray for wisdom and courage for those in military, including both those who are required to obey orders, and those having to give orders that may not sit well with their consciences. We ask that we receive the strength to stay strong when we are troubled by the news, inviting compassion and being mindful that through our prayers and intentions, we do have impact. Of course, add to these as you feel led. We believe most of these are ongoing issues beyond the day-to-day events that we may wish to respond to spontaneously.

  • Global Healing Response: Anchoring

    Global Healing Response: Anchoring
    Apr 2 2026

    As we start a new quarter, Global Healing Response turns its attention to the vital need each of us have to stay anchored, especially during turbulent time. In this week’s episode, we ask what anchoring means, and suggest ways for making this a regular practice. We also offer a guided meditation for anchoring yourself when your time is scarce, starting at 14 minutes 18 seconds.

    Remember, to share in the show's Facebook group what keeps you anchored. We'd love to hear what works for you!

    Resources supporting the Global Healing Response, Q2 2026 theme, Anchoring: https://globalhealingresponse.com/

    Suggested intention focus for this week

    This week, as we reflect on the vital task of anchoring ourselves, we suggest holding as our main intention:

    I resolve to always pause when the busyness of the world conspires to overwhelm me, to re-anchor and know that I am always grounded in the depth of my being.

    Please join us in holding this.

  • Immersive Prayer: Harnessing Intention to Heal the World

    Immersive Prayer: Harnessing Intention to Heal the World
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode Ellen interviews Clive to celebrate the release of his new book, Immersive Prayer: The Power to Change Ourselves and Change our World, and explore how intention, interfaith teachings, and scientific research converge to deepen prayer and collective healing.

    They discuss embodied practice over ritual, heart‑mind connection, practical tools for staying grounded, and the role of contemplative activism in our own spiritual journeys. Clive describes how prayer takes on a meaning closer to "living in Spirit" when we recognise and invite a partnership with the divinity within us, and touches on where prayer and intention holding come together. All-in-all, he suggests that holding intention–and praying–not only has impact on ourselves and others, but bring us closer on our spiritual paths to being fully connected with the Divine.

    The Kindle version of Clive's book is FREE to download on Saturday–Sunday, March 21–22. Simply go to your local Amazon store and search "Clive Immersive Prayer," or click on the link below relevant for your location (selected countries):

  • Changing the Collective Unconscious for Good

    Changing the Collective Unconscious for Good
    Mar 26 2026
    Ellen brings out her Wonder Woman powers to bring about a change in Clive’s take on a vital question for intention work–should we seek to change the collective unconscious? In this week’s episode, we talk about what this universal field actually is and how it relates to common theories to the well-known teaching of psychologist Carl Jung, before turning attention to the key question–can and should we consciously seek to impact it? If the answer is yes, it may be that where matters like wiping the slate clean on collective beliefs about gender equality, the question is then not so much about should we, but becomes an imperative that we must. Using gender equality as a practical focus, we explore the importance for mindful, non-controlling intentions aimed at the highest good, exercising energetic responsibility as a way to contribute positively to the collective. Suggested intention focus for this week: I will for gender equality every day, every moment, until I die. Please join us in holding this.

  • Counting Backwards on Equality: Why Gender Parity Could Take 123 Years

    Counting Backwards on Equality: Why Gender Parity Could Take 123 Years
    Mar 12 2026
    As delegates meet at the UN for the 70th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, the state of equality for many women in the world remains dire. The World Economic Forum’s 2025 Global Gender Gap Index shows the world at about 69% of the way to achieving gender parity, and at the current trend, needing a staggering 123 years for full equality to be achieved. Few countries are moving forward at a pace, with analysis carried out ahead of this year’s Commission on the Status of Women warning that women’s rights are regressing in many contexts, as laws have been reshaped to restrict women’s freedoms, silence their voices and allow abuse without consequence. In this week’s episode we take stock of the huge gap for women achieving equality and fair access to justice, seeing where we may hone in with our intentions and prayers. We explore what’s behind the global backsliding, including legal barriers and threats from restrictive laws and technology, and in a specific case that will resonate with many of our listeners, assess the disproportionate impact on women inherent in the SAVE Act legislation currently being proposed in the USA. Intentions and prayers start at 25 minutes 16 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on the reversal of moves toward women achieving equality with men in many countries, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all who have influence within UN member nation governments and their justice systems to implement and uphold equality protections will be moved and guided by the pleas of UN Women to ensure and strengthen access to justice for all women and girls. Please join us in holding this.

  • In Touch with the Higher Self — A Deep Dive with Anton Jarrod

    In Touch with the Higher Self — A Deep Dive with Anton Jarrod
    Mar 3 2026

    In an inspiring episode, Clive talks to Anton Jarrod, host of the deeply thoughtful podcast The Higher Self Dialogues. Anton helps us understand what the Higher Self is, how it may relate to concepts such as the soul, Source and authentic self, and what role it may play in intercession and intention holding. We reflect on the podcast’s fascinating exploration of the perspective the Higher Self may take into some of the big issues of the day, such as whether AI may help or hinder humanity’s awakening, and what is really driving the immigration crisis. And we reflect upon the fundamental question–what actually is the self?

    With its invitation for those of us who are on the spiritual journey to share in the ongoing enquiry into who we really are, where are we going, and what impact do we have in our world, giving space that might allow our Higher Self to be heard is something that we might each wish to give attention to. And, crucially, we see that tuning into a Higher Self perspective can shift how we respond to personal and global issues.

    Anton’s wonderful offerings provide great inspiration and companionship for this enquiry.
