The body has seven chakras, the Sanskrit word for energy centers. Each chakra in your body has a specific association with physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. Each chakra also has a planet associated with it (as well as many other things like colors, stones, sounds, and other natural elements). Here are the planets and signs [...]
Exploring Intuitive Practice
Modern Halloween is, at its roots, a stepchild of the pagan holiday of Samhain (pronounced sow-wen). Samhain used to mark the end of the harvest year, back when everyone had a harvest to tend to in late fall before the weather turned. It was a border post between the “light” half of the year and [...]
Reviving the Exhausted Healer

Debra Kelly arrived with a full complement of quartz crystal bowls, [...]
