Clearing Crystals

Clearing Crystals

The actual process of clearing crystals is pretty simple, but there are a lot of different ways to do it.

This technique is also known as smudging. Clearing your crystals with sage is super easy…

I found freedom in the woods...

I found freedom in the woods...

As I walked up the stairs to enter the healing space, I was a little unsure about what I was about to experience. I felt resistance in me...why? I know enough to know that when I feel resistance, it means that my internal sonar is sounding off. That sonar is like an alarm, warning me that I need to look more deeply at what is happening, or about to 'go down.'

Introduction to the Chakras

Introduction to the Chakras

I don’t remember exactly when it was that I went from loving myself to hating myself, but it happened. I was the chubby sister.

Why Am I Telling You This Story?

It was the final night alone in the woods, and I had an appointment at the outdoor sauna. I had no idea what to expect, except that I had a private appointment in this beautiful outdoor wooden structure.

I floated down a river, and found the "real me"...

After that first night ALONE IN THE WOODS, I could never have imagined how I would find the ‘real me’ while floating down a river in Maine. When is the last time you sang? I don't mean in your shower or in your car where no one else could hear you. I mean, when is the last time you sang with another human being, proclaiming joy through a melody? It's been a long time since I sang with anyone over the age of four, but last month, I sang with Jen as we floated down a gentle river in Maine. That canoe ride changed my life forever.
