In A Time When Women Had No Rights At All, Here’s What These Revolutionary Women Did
They weren't nuns. They weren't wives. They built their own communities where women could own property, earn money, and leave whenever they wanted —in medieval Europe, when women had almost no rights at all.

How can you increase your willpower and fulfill your New Year’s promise to yourself? These seven strategies are based on behavioral science with hundreds of people trying to achieve their long-term goals.
“The Only Home We’ve Ever Known”
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
Tarot's Reflection: Are You Ready For What You'll See?
For years, I believed tarot was about prediction — glimpses into what might happen next. Over time, I realized the cards were doing something far more powerful: reflecting the conversation already happening beneath the surface.
A Five-Elements Pathway To Freedom
When we’re stuck, the instinct is often to push harder or search for what’s wrong with us. But what if stuck-ness isn’t a personal failure or something to be fixed? Explore the five elements as a compassionate pathway to release stuck-ness and reconnect with natural awareness.

The Ritual That Sounds Too Simple to Work
One of the most powerful interventions in psychology takes only a few minutes. It requires no special training. And it sounds, frankly, almost embarrassingly simple.
Patience, Peace, Kindness
When I am at peace, I usually feel patient; when I am both peaceful and patient, I am more inclined to be kind. We sometimes forget that these qualities are within us all.
Notes From The Dream World
Like intuition and connections to other states and levels of consciousness, connection with your dreaming life is not a unique power or ability that one simply has or does not have; rather it is a relationship that can be cultivated.
An Age-Old Fear Grows More Common: ‘I’m Going To Die Alone’
Make concerted efforts to identify seniors who live alone and are seriously ill early and provide them with expanded support. Stay in touch with them regularly through calls, video, or text messages.
Slow, Kind And Clear: Building Comfort In Intimate Moments
Every relationship is different, but the invitation is the same. Let intimacy be a place where both people can be fully human, tender, uncertain, playful and honest, and where slow and kind attention matters more than any idea of perfection.
Unblocking Energy, Releasing Limitations
We can consciously create a new vibrational frequency for the body to resonate with, rather than defaulting to old patterns. By emotionally feeling into a new, positive future for oneself, we can teach the body to align with the mind’s eye to feel the energy of the new emotion.
The Art Of Self-Compassion In Addiction Recovery
Imagine this: you’ve woken up one morning, years into recovery, and realized your inner critic has gone quiet. Not vanished; it’s just quieter. It’s still there, but softer, its voice less convincing. In its place, a calmer tone — patient, maybe even playful.
Assessed Value
In our everyday lives we are all assessors. We assess everything that happens to us and assign some sort of meaning to it. This meaning, however, cannot be not derived from the circumstance or event itself, but rather from our unconscious, personal and subjective assessment of it.
The New Health Crisis: Dodging Hard Feelings (And Two Simple Fixes)
The ease at which we avoid hard emotions is not solely a factor of our dependence on rapid-fire digital stimulation. There’s more to it, and it speaks to all the messages that have made their way into our collective consciousness about feeling, or rather not feeling.

Deep in your history, your ancestors — your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, as far back as you can imagine and then some — had a dream, an image, a vision of what they hoped for the lives of their descendants. You are that dream.
When Perfectionism Becomes The Problem
Perfectionism tells us that we are worthy only when everything is in order. It creates constant pressure to prove and perform. And when we inevitably fall short because we’re human, it triggers shame, guilt, or self-criticism.
May You Give And Glow
Kind giving is a great way to expand the canvas of our lives in difficult moments, turning negatives into positives, heartaches into peace. The volume of our generosity in time or dollars does not matter. Small helping acts are as beneficial to the giver as big ones.
What Did The Hot Dog Vendor Say To The Guru?
As long as there is no recognition that what is occurring on the outside is merely a reflection of what's going on inside, daily life will continue to appear totally random and unpredictable, also causing its own confusion, fear and apprehension.
Waiting As Spiritual Practice
Embracing waiting in small moments in your everyday life serves as a teacher, priming you to see opportunities for larger life stage pauses when they present themselves. It helps us build comfort in the unknown.
Small Acts That Can Trigger Big Creativity
Too many people operate on autopilot, bored with their lives and feeling restless. Need help getting out of your comfort zone? The changes you make do not have to be major.

When Living The Day Matters More Than Recording It
