My Tarot session with Dr. Richard E. Reich-Kuykendall was short, but it was anything but ephemeral.  In other words, what we discussed in that brief session has stuck with me far longer than nuggets of advice wrested from much longer conversations with others.  As Richard turned over each card and explained to me its meaning, as well as its reverse/upside-down meaning, a “knowingness” popped into my head for each card—it was as though as each card was revealed to me by Richard, its relevance to my current path was simultaneously revealed to me (in my head/heart, of course).

I'm not sure about you, but headaches are definitely an annoyance I don't care for. If they're bad enough, they can really get in the way of me getting work done or simply enjoying myself. Concentration goes out the window when your head starts to pound incessantly. But thankfully, there are many ways to fix a headache holistically.

Scarcity. This energy packed frequency of limited potential is a dense membrane that surrounds the human energetic field and closes off your ability to tap into the ever-flowing creative energy of Source which is the treasure box of abundance.

Bitters are plants that work by activating the bitter receptors on the tongue (and elsewhere in the body). Bitter receptors, in turn, trigger the production of digestive juices and enzymes so that by the time your food hits your stomach, the digestive system is revved up and ready to go.

Down to the cellular level, the way that we nourish (or fail to nourish) our bodies is often times looked to as the single most important determinant of most everything attached to health. Even in the womb, the mother’s diet influences the child’s development on a genetic level. Yet the time we spend performing the actual act of eating is quite finite: roughly one of our 24 hours… 

Our four-legged friends feel tension and nervousness just like we do. And some of the same botanical allies that work for us may help them, too.  Three of the most popular calming remedies for us bipeds are also safe for your pooch when she’s having an off day: chamomile, valerian, and passionflower. 

With the holidays behind us and the energy of the SUN focusing the majority of its influence on the southern hemisphere, it’s a good time to look inward and track where our energy is losing potency.

The way we spend money is a wonderful opportunity to see how efficient our energy is running.

Money is Energy.

The February 19 Full Moon—called the “Snow Moon” by Native American Indian tribes—will also be a SuperMoon because of its closer-than-normal proximity to Earth at the time the Moon reaches its full phase. The Moon reaches “perigee”—its closest point to Earth in its orbit— just hours before the Full Moon, making this the largest Full Moon SuperMoon of 2019! A SuperMoon phenomenon makes the Moon appear about 15% larger and up to 30% brighter than normal.

Mushrooms seem to do just about everything, medicinally-speaking, and I’ve written previously about mushrooms for the liver, heart and immune system.  This time, let’s take a look at what mushrooms can do for the 

Here we are in the 21st century with more illness and disease than ever before.  There are endless prescriptions for an endless amount of disorders.

I want to simplify this complexity so we don’t get lost in masking the symptoms but we take the journey to the root where real healing and miracles happen. This is the way of the first doctor: the Shaman.
