Intuition & Symbols

by Alison Anton CNE, CMT, FDN

When people think of karma, they usually think of something “bad” they did in the past that is coming back to haunt them in the present. Although there is truth to this in regard to its cause-and-effect nature, “good” and “bad” is always relative to one’s own experience...

Energy Medicine

by Susan Campbell, PhD

I became a relationship researcher to help me understand and accept my own relationship hang ups. Most of these hang-ups probably originated in my early relationship with my mother...

Editor's Note from Sandra Miniere: Dr. Campbell shares an intimate story about how she connected with her elderly mother at a deeper level by clearing unfinished business from their past. She and her mother healed the past and stepped into the present with more love and acceptance. She describes a "completion process" that we can use to approach relationships that need more healing in our own lives. With courage, an open heart and truth, people can speak up and heal their relationships; in the process, they heal themselves.

Recently the phenomenon of global warming is gaining new attention in the mainstream media. Some are skeptical, but the facts are that the 15 hottest years have all been since 1980, the top three in the last five years.

Think Green

by Jules Clancy

It's that time of year. Grey skies, impossibly endless showers, short short days, in a word…miserable. And while it does seem like every second person has the flu and that the sun is never going to shine again, hope is in sight. With the shortest day of the southern hemisphere year just around the corner, it's time for rugging up. It's time for tissues with eucalyptus. It's time for vitamin packed veggies to help ward off the threat of the dreaded flu...

Yogic saints and sages as diverse as Matsyendranatha, Svatmarama, Patanjali, Sri Aurobindo, Sri Ramakrishna, and the more contemporary Paramahansa Yogananda, as well as others have long pointed to the effects of yoga on consciousness and biology...

Editor's Note from Brooke Nisbet: This piece gives voice to the idea that current science is catching up with ancient yogic wisdom. This is a nice reminder that while yoga may be the "new" big thing in the west, it's not new at all in the east, and need not be viewed as such.

Yoga

Editor's Note from Diane Renz: "Compassion is in our DNA", just waiting for our Attention. With repeated focal attention you can change the structure and function of your brain, for better, or for worse, dependent upon where you place your attention. It takes intention and commitment to Turn a Mind away from the unconscious onslaught of our day to day societal spin of separation and negativity and toward the cultivation of what is whole and well existing inside us. Here, a beautiful practice shared by Jim Doty of CCARE is to help you find support for this focus of attention. Let your Mind find a prop for to rest its incessant running around, the prop here are prayer beads, with a mnemonic C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L standing for Compassion, Dignity, Equanimity, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Humility, Integrity, Justice, Kindness and Love and the last Golden One...the Golden Rule---treat others as you wish to be treated, or even better, treat others as if they were you, because their happiness is intrinsically linked to your own, there truly is no separation.

We’ve just passed the Spring Equinox, which means that the season has officially changed!

In addition to changes in the weather and changes in the length of the days and nights, dietary changes are in order as well...

Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: How can it matter what we feed in the spring (or any other season)? Well, think for a sec, though - we ate stews in winter, salads in summer, fresh fruits in the spring but still some soups as we can still have rainy days. What would our dogs like?

I will begin this article with two fundamental descriptive definitions of Spirit and Soul. So very often I hear people speak of Spirit and Soul interchangeably; at other times I find that when discussing Spirit and Soul we are using fully different references, resulting in confusion...
