History is in the making during this long, astrologically hot summer. We face a glittering smorgasbord of celestial events. There are flavors for every palette. Some are sublimely delicious, others leave a bitter aftertaste. Seismic planetary sign changes, numerous retrogrades and two late summer eclipses sustain a stream of highs and lows.
The reactions of the two "Amazing Race" participants, each so different, gave me pause. I realized anew that I want to live life in celebration and not complaint.
At this time, two bills are before the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure which, if enacted, would seriously restrict your access to the wide variety of holistic healing practitioners available in Massachusetts today.
Saying we all deserve love is an ideal that creates a struggle inside the parts of us that do not believe love is even possible. When we can love others, we are bridging the loved and unloved self of another in service to their deepest need, as well as our own.
Procrastination is not a character flaw, and it doesn’t mean you’re lazy or even bad at managing time. Framing it this way can make you feel even worse about the behaviour, and stops you learning the real reasons behind it. Here’s why you might be avoiding that task – and five steps to get on top of it.
Have you ever had a dream that seemed to be about people or events in the wider world? These dreams may be more common than we realize, but there aren’t culturally available guidelines for recognizing them.
Does what you watch leave you feeling paralyzed in your own life? As you feel this out for yourself, get truly single-celled-amoeba-intelligent about this: move towards what helps and move away from what hurts.
We want to give patients control about how they want to live their lives in the most meaningful way, especially at the end.
The universe is always talking to you. It is always guiding you. It is always sending signs and synchronicities to direct you to your highest good. When you can begin noticing and uncovering these communications, you can begin to develop a deeper relationship with it and all your higher helpers, and move through life with more confidence, ease and knowing.
Gratitude is experienced as a positive emotion. It results from noticing that others − including friends and family certainly, but also strangers, a higher power or the planet − have provided assistance or given something of value such as friendship or financial support.
This Taurus season is an invitation to expand our listening, observing, and appreciating beauty without being called to analysis, assessment, or action. It is a time to settle into a place of connection, simplicity, and beauty, while focusing on nothing more than enjoying it.
You are not what others say you are; those are only opinions. You are not your pain, your past, or your feelings. Letting go enables you to learn from your mistakes and choices, and grow into a stronger sense of self.
What you may not realize is that some of the negative emotions you’ve experienced, even though you may have felt them long ago, may be creating problems for you now. An excerpt from the bestselling book "The Emotion Code."
If we don’t own our successes, beauty, and greatness, we’re buying into the assumption that we must be less than who we really are. Such an assumption denies our flowering of who we want to be and fully can be.
I nodded, thinking that, whether from the base or the crown, we have only begun our exploration of consciously communing with trees. Our human survival and that of the trees is twined together as intimately as my body hugging the redwood.
Dowsing is essentially an act of resonance. The dowser holds a question or intention in mind, and their biofield — consciously or unconsciously — extends into the environment to seek an answer. This is not magic. It is the electric body in action, responding to subtle environmental changes with somatic precision.
For our children to be without imagination and play is the equivalent of imagining birds without wings. This is not natural. Creativity and play is the very heart, soul and essence of childhood. To watch it go missing is heartbreaking and soul crushing.
Spring cleaning is an act of self-care. Taking the time to clean and organize your home can improve your focus, reduce stress and even boost your mood. Plus, the sense of accomplishment you get from a freshly cleaned space is hard to beat.
The experience created a tectonic shift in how I viewed humanity; the privilege of my life and work was wholly reframed. I refer to this trip as “My African High” because it made me realize the incredible luck I had at being born to middle-class parents in the United States.
Canine holistic herbalism centers on the mind-body-spirit connection, and that includes the vibrations we share with our dogs. Research has shown that dogs respond to human emotions, and even take them on physically.
There is a story of the new masculine from a book that was very popular in the 60s. "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein is about a man from Mars. Once we remember we are spiritual beings having a human experience, what makes a man isn't very different from what makes a woman.
Two important changes occur this spring, and it’s not just the late March eclipse of the Sun. Before March is over, Neptune, the planet of dreams, divine inspiration, empathy and compassion, will enter action-oriented Aries for the first time in more than a century and a half.
It is dark and I am still, my small child arms wrapped tightly around my legs that are pulled up to my chest. The clothes are falling all around me as I sit on the floor of my bedroom closet with the door closed, peering, staring intently out of the wooden slats of the closet door.
Beware the Ides of March? Not necessarily. Following Friday the 14th’s total eclipse of the Moon, Mercury turns retrograde during the wee hours of Saturday morning. Coming so close together it may be difficult to know precisely which event is making an impact.
Have you ever wondered why you feel so good, invigorated, and even fearless, after a nice long walk on the beach or a day out in the fresh sea air? Or maybe it was an exhilarating springtime thunderstorm, a visit to a waterfall, or a hike high in the mountains. Why is that?
