Geomancy & Tree Wisdom
When most people think of Feng Shui they think of moving furniture or otherwise manipulating the internal workings of a home.

Getting Back To Nature
It’s vacation time. This is the time of year we take advantage of the long, warm days and get away. If you stop to think about it, most vacations involve a journey to our favorite places in nature; the beach, a lake, a mountain or forest.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or depression caused by a lack of sunlight, has received a great deal of media… Continue reading The Light of Day

Aparigraha
A few weeks ago, my yoga teacher introduced a word to our class, Aparigraha. It is a sanskrit word that means non-possesiveness or non-clinging.
