When I tuned into the energetic theme for February, Awakening is the word that came through.

At first, I thought, “that’s pretty basic.”

But now I see how truly relevant awakening is particularly right now, in this historical moment.

Sobbing at Newark airport.

Massive flight delays in Manila.

My aunt passing away days after I bought my ticket to see her.

At first glance, you could easily throw all of these into the “bad things” bucket.

I’ve been called to the land of my ancestors from my maternal lineage. Next week I’ll take an epic journey to facilitate group healing sessions at a wellness summit in the Philippines.

This is a time when nature, post-Winter Solstice, remains in a potent portal of dormancy and wintry slumber.

While the days slowly begin to lighten, the still darker days bid you to go inward and to simply be present. Perhaps asking you to witness the wisdom within yourself.

Can you sense the pure potential of this moment?

This weekend, we’ll experience a truly expansive and magical full moon.

In a material world, why does it feel so right when someone says “everything is energy?”

Perhaps it’s because, deep down, we know that it’s true.

Money is an energy. So I try to spend it consciously in support of businesses that align with the values of balance, consciousness, and compassion.

In times of great joy and in times of great disappointment, one of the most healing things you can do is to gather in loving community.

Millions of Americans are challenged with high blood pressure, but there are simple habits that can reduce the risk.

What if you remembered that you hold an infinite well of wisdom within you?

Just like nature, you are continually in a process of transformation. We are all cyclical beings waxing and waning and oscillating between cocooning and emergence.

As we approach the Autumn Equinox, a day of cosmic and earthly balance, we can also promote equilibrium within ourselves and in the collective.

Since 13 years have passed (13 being the number of the divine feminine), it feels like the right time to talk about being in downtown Manhattan on September 11, 2001.

Today is the first day of school for most of the children of New York City. There is something so palpably magical and hopeful about this fresh start—albeit mixed in with a dose of trepidation.

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jo-Anne Suriel a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Sometimes, an action may seem insignificant…but then looking back on it, you might see that act as a defining moment.

Despite all of the summer fun and glorious sunshine, if you’re a parent (or even if you’re not), these warmer months might have you feeling a bit frazzled.

The deeper I go into my spiritual journey, the more I understand that there really are no coincidences.
