Sacred Transformation:  A Successful New York Businesswoman Trusted Divine Intervention To Live Her Soul’s Calling As A Healer

 
Like many of us, Reiki Master JoAnne Palladino is no stranger to fear. She has spent nights covered in sweat, mired in confusion and anxiety, wondering if the sun would come up in the morning. Her fears were not unfounded: her life’s journey led her onto a path whose destination was completely unknown.
However, JoAnne's story is not about fear. It is about courage. Specifically, the courage that it takes to surrender and to trust in one's inner calling.

Gratitude Economy: An Exploration

Gratitude as an Economic Model

Imagine a way of thinking that would allow you to create a good or provide a service, give it away with no expectation of return, and have the value of the eventual social return be far greater than any monetary value you might otherwise have asked. What if you could have an entire culture where the only currency is thank you, and your social status is based on how much you contribute to the health of the community as a whole. Well that sounds absurd to say the least. But is it?

Superfoods 101: Carrots & Their Many Health Benefits

Carrots are a member of the family Apiaceae, commonly known as the carrot family. Carrots are in the genus Daucus L., which contains two species and two varieties. Fossils of carrots have been found in prehistoric lake dwellings in Switzerland and were grown in the royal garden in Babylon in the 8th century B.C. E. Carrots are thought to have been cultivated for their leaves and seeds, as there is no evidence to show the root was eaten. The plant is related to parsley, dill, celery, and parsnips, and in Europe it was a white root.

Living Yoga: Brahmacharya, The Practice Of Non-Excess

We have come to understand that yoga is present in every living, breathing moment. It is a body of knowledge, a practice and a way of life. It dwells in many aspects of our daily existence: how we see the world, the words we use, the ways we relate, the choices we make, and ultimately how we move and act to shape our experience. Its presence is subtle and permeating. As we begin to understand the greater framework of yoga, we can look to the Yamas and Niyamas.

Heal Your Heart With Hawthorn: For The Physical & Emotional Heart

The May Tree in the Celtic calendar, Hawthorn is the powerful grandmother of the Rose family and was thought in Europe to be the home of faeries. “Haw” means berry and “thorn”—well, that’s pretty self-explanatory. “Crataegus” derives from Greek…”kratos” means strength and “akis,” sharp.  The thorns can be an inch long. Ouch!
