The earth is a treasure chest full of magical tools for healing and alignment. The very ground we walk on is made up of crystals and metals that are vibratory in nature and affect our very being. By learning the properties and vibratory qualities of different stones and metals we can partner with them to adjust our own personal vibration, align with the pulse of the earth, heal and live more authentically. This article is meant to be a simple introduction to the healing power of crystals and gemstones. I hope you can find resonance in the words and joy in this mutual journey!

The Cosmic Story:  Aries/Libra Full Moon 2016

Make Love Not War

Volatile. Tense. Strained. Charged. Explosive. Inflammatory. Turbulent.

This weekend's Full Moon is supercharged by disruptive Uranus, the newly discovered dwarf planet Eris, transformative Pluto and assertive Mars.  Wow! Explosive energies.  Or transformative energies.  It's up to us.  The Full Moon falls right into the lap of the intense Pluto/Uranus squares of 2012-2015.   Have we woken up and evolved?

If you seek internal answers, nature can help. Whether you believe it or not, nature can help extract internal messages from us when we consciously make the decision to open up and set the intention to listen. It can make us aware of things in regards to ourselves as well as circumstances in our lives we may need assistance with. There are also times when it can give us inner-encouragement as well. Nature can point out to us internal messages in many ways, and I am here to share my own personal example with you.

Revered and worshipped, full of bacteriophages, the Ganges is now a river of polluted sorrow…

As a child, I grew up reading about the Ganges River, Maa Ganga as it’s called in Indian religious texts.

Kundalini Yoga in Relationships

Relationships are tricky business. You are dealing with two different people's minds, hearts and memories. There are subconscious and unconscious patterns at work as well as all the impressions of multiple life-times and inherited influencing actions and words. Rather than trying to approach misunderstandings with words and actions, which can be full of misreadings and harmful backlash, kundalini yoga is a way that couples can approach breaches in relationships with energetic wellness and healing.

Recent years have seen an increase in the concern for what exactly is going into our food and beverages – from how they’re grown to how they’re prepared. Accordingly, state-wide legislation has begun to listen to the worried murmurs of the public, with many states attempting to enact or further clarify measures pertaining to food and beverage safety.

Such is the case with California’s Proposition 65.

While Proposition 65 marks substances that may be detrimental to our health, it does not explain just how dangerous they are. Nor does it prohibit them.

Leftover cream from last time’s cooking? Don’t let it go sour, use it as a beauty aid instead…

Most Indian households tend to have a surfeit of cream or malai as we call it. Since we buy milk from the source or in packets, and then boil and cook the same before consuming in the refrigerator, the cream or the malai floats on top. This malai is then churned into butter (and buttermilk); the butter is then heated and turned into clarified butter or ghee.
