Maintaining balance and inner peace is challenging for all of us right now as we navigate the rough seas of this intense shift in human consciousness.

A Reflection Practice for the Winter Solstice
For millennia, winter solstice celebrations have heralded the return of the light and are a time of quiet reflection and intention. In many Native American cultures, tribes and families would gather to start up a new year at the solstice and have a special celebration where they would make a request to the Great Spirit to eliminate certain things that they no longer wanted in their lives. As a way of representing this, they would craft six arrows: three to represent the things they did not want and three for the things they did want. They called them “death” arrows and “life” arrows because they held respectfully, the things they wanted … [Read more...]

The Spiritual Practice of Letting It Be
A good way to release the need for control is by “letting it be”—a spiritual practice highlighted in Paul McCartney’s inspirational song of the same title.

The practice of “letting it be,” encourages compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance of our own and others’ soul journeys. It also allows us to trust the divine unfolding of our lives by leading with our hearts as they whisper words … [Read more...]

Sometimes a crisis such as a serious illness, trauma, or loss forces us to lean into our vulnerabilities and open to intense transformation. In some ways, change—even the hard change of healing old wounds—is easier when the alternative is unthinkable. But for many of us, daily life isn’t enough to … [Read more...]

This can impede your spiritual growth, undermine your health, and damage your relationships. By setting energetic boundaries, you become a more loving, compassionate person. Such “love fences” allow you to compassionately engage … [Read more...]
