Healing Stones: Inner Child & Heart Healing With Rhodochrosite

What is a Soul Retrieval? This question was posed to a recent Meetup group I attended while we sat around round tables eating delicious raw food cuisine. I offered my perspective of Soul Retrieval in relation to the work I have been doing over the past few years using The Emotion Code, a technique developed through Dr. Bradley Nelson to detect and release trapped emotions.

From Helplessness To Empowerment: The Energetic Perspective On Depression

Many of us regard depression as an inner darkness that can throw us into the depths of debilitating emotional and mental pain, making it impossible for us to function in this world for weeks or months even. Life feels pointless, the world appears hopeless, and all we can feel is numbness.

Essential Oils For Consciousness: Relaxing Into Presence With Chamomile

So many find themselves experiencing anxiety these days as the world seems to “fall apart” and leave one wondering what is real and what is transient.

Frankincense For Digestive Health

Frankincense (Boswellia) is best known as incense to most folks. It’s been used for thousands of years as a wonderful aid for mood, medication, ritual, and prayer. As such, frankincense was extremely valuable in the ancient world and was a key part of the spice trade 2000 years ago, making the folks who controlled frankincense trees in the Southern Arabian Peninsula and East Africa extremely wealthy (1).

Frankincense is also great support for the digestive tract.  More on this in a moment…

Mushroom Medicine: Making Double Extracts

Edible mushrooms are fantastic for our health. Eating mushrooms is my favorite way to reap their benefits, but at times a stronger dose may come in handy.  This is where mushroom extracts can be handy.  For those who’ve purchased commercial mushroom extracts, you may have noticed that they’re a bit expensive.  Why not learn to make your own?

Fascia: How To Unstick Your Body’s Glue

Fascia is often referred to as the glue that holds us together, but few of us know what it is and why it matters.

Ayurveda 101: Deep Dive Into Pitta Dosha

Our band of elemental warriors is starting to form, as previously you learned all about Vata. A combination of Space & Air, Vata is the energy that stirs up limitless potential, big thinking, and a colorful future. Though amazing initiators, Vatas sure do need help in plucking an idea down from the cosmos and putting it into action.

Witchin’ In The Kitchen: Herbal Syrups For Medicinal & Culinary Use

Syrups are a great way to take your medicine and to spice things up in the kitchen.  Here are a couple of easy syrup-making methods. The first method is the way to go for medicinal syrups that can also be used in recipes. You can use these by the spoonful daily.  The second is just for introducing some exciting new flavors into your recipes rather than for medicinal usage. 

Ayurveda 101: Deep Dive Into Vata Dosha

If you who have, or are, an 80s baby… you likely remember a little show called Captain Planet. In the opening theme song, the Planeteers combine their elemental powers—earth, fire, wind, water, heart—to summon our green and blue superhero. Captain Planet, an “elemental warrior” as the show description lovingly refers to him, harnesses their forces in a quest to save the world.

I love to think that this popular activist show took a cue from Ayurveda itself.
