Connecting to Energy
by Irini Rockwell, MA.

Underneath it lies a magical realm, more elusive and yet more vivid. Every
philosophical, spiritual, and religious tradition, every art form, teaches about
this deeper reality. |
Earth Wounds
by Gareth Patterson.
 Recently
I began to understand that unless we address the health of the earth,
collectively and holistically, the symptoms of our own inner health will persist
and will worsen. The health of the planet and our own inner health are one. |
Are Your Pets Stressed Out?
by Sage Holloway.
 In
treating stress-related disorders in our pets, we must first look honestly at
ourselves. How is the stress that we are carrying affecting them? Animals who

humans do. |
Five Types of Dreams
by
Gillian Kemp.
 There are five different types of dreams: ordinary, lucid, telepathic,
premonitory, and nightmare. They often blend and merge with one another. |
Healing Beyond Loss
by Alexandra Kennedy.
 We
so often get in the way of grief; we try to suppress, truncate, postpone, or
ignore it. We are afraid of being overwhelmed, of becoming nonfunctional:
"If I start crying, I'll never stop:" But grief is more powerful than our
resistance. In grief, it is natural, though uncomfortable, to feel raw,

Beginning and Endings
by Nancy Dufresne.
 Beginnings
and endings are so similar. Each is the start of an unknown journey, yet both

to live with the death of a person or persons I love is teaching me more about
living. |
Practical Space
Clearing
by Jon Sandifer.
 In traditional cultures having your home blessed has
always been considered a vital measure when moving into a new home. In the

housewarming party or to have your local priest bless the home. |

preparations... |

We can benefit spiritually in our

direct and immediate sense of both the joy and
wonder of creation.

Animal Wisdom
by Gareth Patterson.
In
the modern age, blinders have been placed over our eyes so that we cannot see
the big picture. We have lost touch with the fact that the pyramid of life, the
soil, the trees, the air we breathe, water, the animals, rain and sunlight and
ourselves are all part of one community. |
Choose Music, Choose Life
by Beverly M. Breakey.
Most of us don't pay much attention to the
connection between music and our well-being.
For some of us it hovers on the periphery of
our lives. For others it is central to our
moods. |
Angels Are With Us
 by

completely and powerfully you are loved by the
angels around you, you would cry for joy --
and then quickly become reassured that you had
all the resources to turn your life into the
magnificent adventure you want it to be. |

cat. What a world! Everything I ever believed
had been changed in an instant. |
