Do you ever massage your own hands when they ache? How about your own feet? We naturally resort to instinctive healing techniques, like your foot rub, hand rub, or even rubbing our own ears or scalp, which actually is what therapeutic reflexology is all about.

This morning while taking my dog, Dusty Boy for a walk, a doe and two fawns bounded across our path, of course Dusty barked like crazy. And soon all I saw were bright white tails bouncing through the tall green grass into the woods.

The astral world is beyond the physical world with no specific boundaries, no time and space coordinates, no solids, no liquids, no gas, no molecules or atomic particles, but rather a collective energy and mass consciousness that is frequently changing. The term astral is taken from the Greek word meaning “related to a star”. It has been explored as a place of ancient people, spirits, and angelic...

Happiness, healthiness, peacefulness, harmony, centering, protection, confidence, success, or to release fear, worry, or anxiety?  Take a m...

Do you own a set of mala beads? I have several sets, but my favorites are made from the traditional material of sandalwood. Historically, malas were made from organic wood, seeds, or animal bones. Now they are made from many more materials. Mala is a Sanskrit name meaning “meditation garland”. There are several modern-day reasons to apply the ancient use of mala beads: to help overcome anxiety and...

Have you ever noticed that one side of your hair is easier to style or work with than the other side? This is certainly true for me. And especially during adolescence, it was a cause of great frustration. But now I realize that my hair is an excellent example of the two energies of male and female, or Yin and Yang. Perhaps you've noticed that I now have a practical asymmetrical hairstyle that...

How is your energetic balance? We all possess both male and female energy as a part of a well-balanced life. This belief can be traced back to beginning civilization, and is reflected in several cultures, artwork and their traditions. For instance, the ancient Mayan civilization was aware of the importance of balancing the power of these two energies, and it's very evident in their artwork an...

Spring is a time of awakening, transforming, and cleaning out things that no longer serve us. When I say spring cleaning, the most obvious form is probably clearing out clutter, sorting and giving away clothes that no longer fit, throwing away items, scrubbing and dusting. But what if in the Spring we also make it a habit to clear an important part of our energetic field, and that is relationship...

The resonance of words... As an educator, I had always been fascinated with the power of words, and how it could evoke an emotional response in people. It didn't seem to matter whether or not the words were heard directly, or read in print. Then I became even more fascinated, as I immersed myself in a variety of healing modalities, some of which use the power of words, sometimes applied in ma...
