Exploring Fire Element/Summer Season Energetics with Chinese Medicine Practitioner Christina CecconiSend us a textThe inevitability of our human experience is that we will, at some point, lose sight of our purpose. When we are misaligned with purpose, we get pulled into the vortex of addictions, avoidant/anxious attachment strategies and generally feeling disempowered in our own lives. On the flip side, when we can identify and make explicit what our purpose is, have a sense of what drives us, understand what lights us up with bliss, we are able to settle into what our Dao is. In today’s conversation, Chinese Med...

EMOTIONAL ALCHEMY: Uncaging the Good Girl with Certified Master Level Coach Holly TorontoSend us a textOne of the most profound shifts I’ve made in my spiritual practice is understanding that it is a subtractive process, rather than an additive one. The simplest way to explain this is that you can approach spirituality thinking that you are not whole, needing to be fixed and grasping for the next modality, teacher, guru or tool to hold you together OR you can approach spirituality with the intention of remembering who your True Self is. When you do this, you can clearly see the stories, narratives and conditions that you...
