Many ancient traditions applied sacred space practices to purify the energy of our homes. In the modern western world, though, Feng Shui is possibly the better-known system. And it can be relatively simple to apply — if we don’t get too bogged down in having to do it perfectly. Before getting started, you need to choose whether […]
Misconstrued kindness, not so much. February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day. That’s kind of cool. And also sad. We shouldn’t really need such a day. Being kind should be part of our daily experience. Not just for the benefit of others, but for our own benefit too. “Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in […]
The Hallmark holiday that is Valentine’s Day may make ‘Love’ appear to be an exclusive club. With membership reserved for those with a romantic partner.

It is the second of four fire festivals that mark the beginning of a new season — Samhain/winter, Imbolg/spring, Bealtaine/summer, and Lughnasa/autumn.

Meditation is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years, and it has the backing of science for decades now. Even if you’re not a meditator, you’re probably aware of all the benefits it can bring to your life. What you might not know, however, is that consistent practice is the most important thing.
