In these ever-changing times, it is vital that we hold onto Hope. Hope offers a lifeline when things might feel grim. When old systems of belief and structure are collapsing, when there is more uncertainty than ever, and when fear has caused division and separation, then Hope is a guiding force back to harmony. It brings new ideas, creative solutions, and courage to choose Love once again. There are many plants and trees that help guide us to a more hopeful place, and here ar

You are amazing! You are here for a purpose. Cultivated and embraced by love, you are the manifestation of Light. You and I experience this lifetime for a purpose, like a calling. You know that one topic that really reaches deep down and either frustrates or moves your heart? Well, these are subtle clues on your path to gift giving and receiving. We are showered daily with blessings, some big, some small. To identify with a thing outside of oneself is not the goal. To feel th

Thanksgiving holiday was a beautiful celebration of gratitude and togetherness. Duality is unavoidable in all of our experiences, and a small challenge presented itself at our gathering. There was a guest at our party that triggered many of the other guests. This is what prompted me to meditate on this topic and write about it this week. When you get so many different kinds of people together in one space, it can bring out inner Truths, fears, and traumas. Here are some thoug

Traveling into a reality filled with treasures, Breathing through challenges and pleasures. My heart keeps records of what's said & done, The Light shines the path of the eternal Sun. As I experience life and take in what I see, My heart craves unity and acceptance to be. Unhealthy emotions, speech, and behaviors, Are reflections of the heart crying out for a savior. The Truth is that we came to heal the past, Manifesting the reality that is changing fast. The soul sending me

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and every Thanksgiving week we have experienced in the past, and will experience in the future, is ruled by Jupiter and "The Hanged Man", as it always falls on the 48th week of the year. We expand in digestion by feasting in gratitude, we expand in socialization by surrounding ourselves with friends and family, and we expand in gratitude for all of the blessings we have received throughout the year. However, these old ways of expansion are

Gratitude for the wisdom from big life challenges, Learning how to find the center out of imbalances. Gratitude for clarity where there is confusion, The Light of Truth dissolves the entire illusion. Gratitude for the ability to see a new perspective, Turning things upside down like a life detective. Gratitude for endings that hold space for new beginnings, Detaching from darkness draws in fortune and winnings. Gratitude for letting go of what has held us back, Feeling Light,

Chemists in England have created a gel that can repair and regenerate tooth enamel, opening up new possibilities for effective and long-lasting dental treatment.

Aromatherapy is a powerful tool for emotional work because it directly impacts the memory center of the brain and helps us rewire ourselves after pain, heart-break, loss, trauma, or other major life shifts we may find difficult to process. Plant medicine is extremely grounding, and opens the heart and mind to deep introspection in order to address the shadow side that can be a source of karma and pain if not addressed. The essences we go to for shadow work have truly helped u

One step at a time... When life is digging up the road ahead, it is time to take a break and meditate on the next step. Take this time to rest the mind and listen to the heart. One of the most amazing practices to do is one of breath awareness. Practicing "3-point breath", breathing all through the nose, in this sequence: inhale-hold-exhale. Start with an of inhale/5 sec. hold/ 5 sec/ exhale 5 sec. Extend the time evenly as your lungs strengthen. The goal is  to reach 20 seco

We are in a cosmic realignment, a time of transition, and an awakening of humanity. The shedding of the false self is occurring in every choice we make on every day that we live. We are either acting from Love or reacting from fear. This time of transition looks a little bit different for each of us. Some relate more to the Kali Yuga right now, observing the darkness coming to Light. Others resonate more with the Light Age of creativity, presence, and Universal Love. Either w

The eyes envision the external world so bright, It's much easier to see what is in the Light. Entering the depths of the darkness within, The bottom of the cave is where to begin. There are stories there of trauma and pain, With deeper lessons and wisdom to gain. They are locked up behind bars of steel, Making certain that they will never heal. Looking around to find the key, Compassion and Love become the referee. Back and forth, the energetic battle begins, But in the end,

The heartwood of a tree is the part in the middle of the trunk that is steam distilled after the tree has been cut down and killed. Once the heartwood has been cut, there is no way to salvage the tree. This means that the tree has to sacrifice its life in order for others to receive its medicine. To grow and become strong in order to transition so that others can benefit from your strength is the ultimate sacrifice of a tree. The following heartwood essences bless us and the

In order to achieve your heart's desires, do something different, change your space of attire. Leap forward with full faith in yourself and others. Go out of your way to connect with your earth sisters and brothers.   Together we can, together we will, together in the arms of Mother Gaia. Get yourself to the love side of the coin, it is the only place to be, heart inspired. Peace, Joshua

We are part of one chain of Light, one cosmic family, and one consciousness of pure unconditional Love. Throughout human history, every society has experienced leaders that were greedy and only invested in self-interests, along with the counterpart of leaders that practice compassion and selfless service. It is because of the caregivers, the healers, the saints, and the prophets that we understand the depths of what it means to be a HUman BEing. "HU" is the Light within us al

Never stop caring for the elderly or sick, Even when life speeds up to ultra quick. Never stop caring for the needy or poor, The value of a life is nothing to ignore. Never stop caring for the mentally ill, Those who are climbing a painful hill. Never stop caring for the repressed, Struggling to exist and feeling stressed. We are one big cosmic family, Each linked together like roots to a tree. What makes us HUman is the Light we share, Reaching out a hand to show that we car
