A lie just feels wrong. I remember the guilt I still have today from when I was 7 years old. I hid something from my mother for a dumb reason and didn’t admit I knew where it was when asked. 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. I may not have dogs anymore but relate to the connection we have with our other “family members”. Sounds silly, but I love Mr. Miyagi
Ever feel a bit more moody with a full moon or a lunar eclipse like we just experienced? I do. Our moonlight and our bodies shift as the moon’s surface darkens or glows from reflective light and location with our sun. We both react to the gravitational pulls and the changes in light we receive. Our earth is covered by about 71% water according to NASA, of which about 96% is
Our Mr. Froggy mascot is always seeking wisdom (a gift from my dear friend Tammy) As I write this blog as I do always, I begin as a Wisdom Seeker. I must find interest in the topic, research for truth, attempt to experience personally, then simplify and share any wisdom if welcomed. If it doesn’t interest me, I usually go no further. If it does, look out as I can
Tada! We arrive at our Crown, the 7th of our major Chakras. Glowing lustrous violet hues form into a pure white royal crown found at the top center of our head, and slightly above. Our Crown Jewel, Sahasrara (Suh-has-ra-ra) meaning a thousand petals and represents Higher Consciousness, Enlightenment, ultimate and divine connection with a higher power. Maybe you call this power, God, Creator, All Knowing, Spirit, Consciousness or something else
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. Like an “eye” this gland senses and responds to light. This
What happens when your heart chakra is cleared & open The image captures what happens when your Heart Chakra is clear, open and radiating pure love vibrations. You know, that feeling you get when you may even get teary eyed, your heart flutters and sings. Chelsea from Arizona and I were roommates in the jungles of Costa Rica for 7 nights last week. I never shared a room with a
3D illustration of Hip Skeleton, medical concept. The Sacral Chakra has been considered sacred as far back as Egyptian times. Energetically our Sacral Chakra, or Svadhisthasana in Sanskrit thrives in the area of our hips above the tail bone but below the navel. Our sacrum is a large triangular bone connecting the base of the spine between the tailbone and the last lumbar vertebrae in the back region of our hips.
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
My double rainbow in St. Thomas, where the ocean touched the sky. When I first heard about Chakras many years ago, and even in Yoga Teacher Training, I honestly didn’t get it, or buy into the supposed colors, purpose, etc. for each area of 7 Major Chakras. One day in the streets of Rome I had my “aha!” moment. There were individual colored flags around the Forum and I got
