...Even the way we discuss dying is bizarre. Most people being faced with their own mortality, had no idea what to say to me, so they just avoided me. It was as if death were contagious. Well, I hate to share this with you, my friends, but it is contagious because you also will die! So, I ask how do you want to do it? How do you want to exit this realm?

As the last few months of winter play out, you may find yourself looking forward to the spring and the sunlight, but also feeling a little “ blue”, Thus the term winter blues. After the prolonged periods of shortened daylight, the brain struggles to produce the right levels of serotonin, the chemistry that keeps us energetic, happy, content, and awake. We all can’t be like Mother Nature and retreat into our winter hideaway until the sunlight warms the Earth and the days get longer. So we have to find ways to try to make it through.

There are moments in life when gratitude doesn’t come easily. We know we should feel grateful, but our hearts feel heavy, distracted, or numb. I’ve had those days, too — the kind when even the smallest joys seem out of reach. Yet it’s in those very moments that I’ve learned the true nature of gratitude: it’s not an emotion we chase, but an energy we choose to cultivate.

In today’s busy world, people are always looking for ways to slow down, reconnect, and make sense of life’s twists and turns. Tarot and oracle readings have long offered that kind of reflection. For many, these readings aren’t about predicting the future, but about gaining insight, perspective, and a deeper connection with their own intuition. They can be a tool for guidance, a spark for creativity, or simply a mindful moment to pause and reflect.

Yes, it is true, summer is drawing to a close. The days are getting shorter, and regardless of the seemingly relentless heat we, in the Jackson, Michigan area, have been enduring the past few weeks, soon the bright, sunshiny days will give way to a hazy shade of winter. Maybe some of us were lucky enough to go on vacation, a sweet escape. Yet not all were so lucky. Some couldn’t get away for one reason or another.
No matter if you had all summer off or you couldn’t even squeeze in a long weekend, there is always an option for a mini vacay. A bit of time to catch your breath, slow your mind, heal your soul.
A massage can be your ticket...

One of the most powerful and important changes we see in our young students is a boost, or even first emergence in self-confidence. Confidence is essential for children because it helps them take healthy risks, recover from setbacks, and become more independent.

Rib flare is a condition in which the lower ribs protrude outward or extend towards the outside of the body. This often causes a visible gap or bulge around the ribcage. Rib flare can occur when the muscles around the ribs, such as the diaphragm or abdominal muscles, are weak or imbalanced. It is commonly seen during breathing or postural changes, especially when one takes a deep breath or stands with improper posture. While rib flare might seem harmless, it can lead to several issues...

There is a story in Greek mythology stating that originally humans were created with four (4) arms, four (four) legs, a head with two (2) faces, and both sexual parts, a hermaphrodite. This being was complete onto itself. They were very powerful beings, and being such, Zeus, the king of all gods, (in Greek mythology) became fearful of their power. If Zeus was the king of all gods, what did he have to fear, is a question that came to my mind, but this is just a myth? So he split the hermaphrodites apart, creating a separate man and woman, leaving them to look for their other half. So thus it begins!
So let’s try to break this down...

This month is the final article from The Four Agreements.. Always Do Your Best.
We always should do our best. No more and no less. However, we also need to keep in mind that our best changes from day to day. Your best will change with how you feel physically as well as mentally. On days that you feel refreshed and healthy, your best will be different than if you are tired and ill. It will also be different according to your mood: if you are happy as opposed to sad for example. Regardless of the situation still do your best.

The main problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are the truth even if they are not. Sometimes we make assumptions about what others are thinking or doing. Of course, because that is not enough for us, we then take whatever we think they are thinking or doing personally.
Now let’s just consider this a little closer...

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Have you felt in the winter months you tend to feel cold and your skin is dry? You crave foods that are sweet and fat, and as winter ends you would like to lose some weight? During the summer you tend to be hot and more cranky and irritable? You have a craving of foods that are cold and light? Have you felt in the fall that your thoughts are swirling in your head and you feel ungrounded, like something is missing? The human body is aligned with the laws of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Whatever happens...

Sound is all around us, it permeates every aspect of our lives, from our alarm clocks in the morning to the whispering of the leaves in the branches of the trees. How much of the sound you hear on a daily basis is tuned out by your inner senses?
Sound has been around forever. Shamans, Medicine men/women, and healers use sound as a way of connecting us to our Spirits, our inner landscape, the Universe, and beyond. Sound travels on waves of vibration, creating various frequencies, that can...

November is upon us and so is my favorite holiday. I’ve always been particularly fond of Thanksgiving and those feelings have just increased as I’ve become older. It seems appropriate to write a piece about gratitude.

Once upon a time, there was a woman who thought she knew how everything worked. She knew what she should do, but more importantly she knew what everyone else should do as well. She was very devout in her religion and that fact validated her righteousness in her mind. Even so, she prayed every day to know the face of God. (After all, once she accomplished this, she could be even clearer about what everyone else needed to do.)

Grief is the trickiest of emotions, the stickiest of feelings, and something no one enjoys talking about. It’s something that can’t truly be felt by anyone else, because grief feels so different to every one of us. And in my experience every grief process feels slightly different too. The place it’s coming from, the person you lost, the experience you went through. The energy of each situation places us somewhere...

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. This therapy applies magnetic energy to the body in frequencies similar to those found in nature ranging from 0-30hz. It was originally developed and used by NASA & Soviet cosmonauts to maintain the health of astronauts in orbit, by reversing the effects of being removed from earth's magnetic field. This therapy has been accepted and used in Europe, particularly in Germany, for decades– thanks to the Soviet space program. PEMF therapy didn't become popularized

However, out of all the schooling and training I have taken over the years, The Healthy Breast Yoga Teacher Training (March 2012) is by far one of the most important contributions I can offer my students. This certification expresses for me both professional passion and personal pride. I was encouraged and inspired by Kendra Holliday. She not only encouraged me to take it, but inspired me to complete it. For those of you who did not know Kendra, she was the owner of EE.

We recently experienced an ice storm that caused our electricity and landline phone to stop working. The house was silent and at night shrouded in darkness. We live on a dirt road, deep in the country, and dark is really dark. I found myself singing, “Hello darkness, my old friend, I have come to talk to you again”, every night.

It is my belief that building better individuals, which builds better families, which builds better organizations, which builds a better society, which builds a better world, is our collective calling while on Earth.
The changes needed to accomplish this starts with you but change can be a little scary for most. So what is holding you back from being the best person you can be?
Could it be shadow beliefs?

To most individuals, the higher dimensional energies are in the realm of invisibility. Those with gifts of clairvoyance are able to perceive the beauty of these realms. One such realm is the world of crystalline energies.
The physical beauty of crystals and gemstones is easily perceived and much sought after by those who appreciate their natural gifts of beauty and light.
There is also a more subtle interaction that occurs when choosing crystals.
Like ourselves, the crystals are made of various minerals and elements which give...

Sometimes in my readings for clients, I am asked “What are my gifts?” or “When will my gifts appear to me?” The truth is we all have gifts. No matter whether you are a natural psychic medium or not. Little Jimmy has it and your friends have it too. They just do not know it or like a skeptic - choose to refute it.
