When I found out someone innocent was going to take the blame, I put it back when she wasn’t looking. Still deceptive. I did not feel like I “got away
Our beautiful planet’s vulnerable Wildlife Kingdom Meet, Mr. Miyagi, my sweet water bound Betta friend for the last 10 months. He’s my first pet since losing my favorite cat of 17 years, Kitty who lived through what felt like Nine Lives for both of us.

Always curious about mysticism, history and science, I was fascinated by references of a 3rd Eye in ancient art and cultures like the Mayans, Greeks, Asians and Hindus. I needed proof. I researched to find evidence of our Pineal Gland (pin-ee-uhl) located at the brain’s center the size of a pea, shaped like a small pine cone with microcrystals.

First stop with our Fusion Chakra series, Root Chakra. This one I need reminders for every day with my busy, unpredictable careers and lifestyle. Being rooted or grounded balances and stabilizes me for a better sense of security. The Root Chakra energy center, Muladhara in Sanskrit is at the base of our spine, encompassing our lower back and sitting bones. We stoke its energy when we engage Mula Bandha, our
Right Now. Pay attention. I’ve heard it many times from parents, teachers, and my own inner voice. Yes, I get easily distracted. Think “squirrel!”.
