I truly believe deepening our connection to our body’s wisdom and direct connection to source and intuition is a key tool for us in our ascension process. When we are tapped in, tuned in and able to decipher our own intuitive messages, we know how to feel, love and make empowered choices on our path for the highest good of all. I sat down with Jessica Reid to discuss intuition, connecting to spirit guides and channeling. Is it something we all have, or something we can cultivate? How do we begin...

New solutions are needed. How do we get those answers? How do we get those pers...

I first met Lianda in a friend’s living room when she led one of her first workshops about the power of prayer. Her stories penetrated my heart and reminded me of one of the most simple yet profound practices we have access to in challenging times.

When we open to be the most true versions of ourselves we are more likely to stay in relationships that empower us to grow with us as we evolve. In this conversation we discuss dropping the conditioning...

Ever since I was a little girl I sat with existential questions like, “What’s really happening here?” “Why are we doing this?” “What’s the point of it all?” I didn’t have many people to turn to for answers, until finally after college, I stepped on to a path of spirituality, meditation and yoga. I was led to deeper insight and intuitive wisdom within my body, where I began to remember and ascend. But it really wasn’t until I went to Egypt two years ago that I began to have an inner knowing that ...

It was in a field in Sebastopol that I first cuddled up in a sleeping bag with about thirty other people to receive the wisdom and stories of Stargazer Li while beholding the vast night sky, probably one of my first times really taking it in since I was a child. Besides the incredible experience of learning about the stories behind the constellations, I also realized how much I loved being in the presence of someone so excited about life, and truly living her dharma.
