Mantra: Healing the Lungs

In August 2019 we watched “the lungs of the Earth” gasping for breath as intense fires burned through millions of acres of the Amazon Rainforest. Barely six months later, our human lungs are under attack as we face the…

Mantra: Healing Mother Earth

It feels impossible to imagine being able to accurately articulate the depth at which my relationship with Mother Earth is significant in my life. The connection I feel to Her, the Love and communication we share, and the absolute…

Mantra: Invoke Your Fierceness

No one is exempt from feeling fear at some point or another. No one is exempt from needing support. No one is exempt from the need for healthy, firm boundaries in their life. Yet all too often when fear or the need for help arises…

Mantra: Honoring the Dead

There is a powerful and present theme this time of year around honoring our ancestors. Celebrations take place all over the world to acknowledge those who’ve passed on. We offer gratitude, we remember them, and we have a…

Mantra: Spirit of the Sun

When I began to learn more about how I experience energy as an Environmental Empath, one of the first things my mentor taught me about were Solar Flares. She explained to me that when the Sun releases these powerful bursts of…

Mantra: Protection & Presence

How do you wake up each day? What’s the sound of your morning alarm? Reflect here for a moment. How you awake in the morning may seem like an unimportant detail of life, it may be something you’ve not even put any thought…

Mantra: Prayer for Peace

When I first started on the path of Yoga, I quickly learned a very powerful Mantra that is often spoken or chanted in unison at the end of each class. Initially without even “knowing” what the Sanskrit words meant, I was able to connect with…

Mantra: Mercury Retrograde 411

When it comes to the planets, Mercury, and it's retrograde phases, definitely tends to create the biggest buzz – stirring up many questions, and the most "brace yourself", anxiety-inducing responses from us humans. Generally…

Mantra: Your Highest Truth

Possibly one the greatest concepts we will ever work toward wrapping our human brains around, is the Truth that we are the Universe. I know. Most people are like, "Whaaaat...?" Yes, we are having an experience in this physical body as…

Mantra: Divine Healing

My earliest knowledge of the Siri Gaitri Mantra happened when I was going through my Yoga Teacher Training certification program. I will never forget the vibration of pure healing I felt in my body the first time I heard it – I was...

Mantra: Inner Wisdom

Have you ever had a reading of your Natal chart? If no, I highly recommend it. Gaining clarity about the planetary alignments in your individual birth chart can offer much clarity around the unique challenges and lessons each of us are…

Mantra: Love Is The Answer

Do you remember this song from the 90s by the group Blessid Union of Souls? It's one of my absolute favorites. It's timeless, and it speaks so divinely to every issue humanity will ever face at any given moment. To me, it is the only…

Mantra: Trust & Surrender

Ohhh surrender. It's a tough one, isn't it? We hold on and hold on, and resist and try to "figure it out", or even try to stop things from changing altogether. Our fear of the unknown is sometimes so powerful, that we actually keep ourselves…

Mantra: Compassion & Protection

One of the greatest challenges of our human life is to learn and practice true compassion. We likely find it easy to feel compassion for someone we love, or for living beings – humans, animals, plants – who are being abused or treated…

Mantra: Lasso the Full Moon

General Western Astrology was always something that interested me — horoscopes, compatibility.. ya know "what's your sign?" ...and my personal healing journey was certainly sparked (a.k.a. lit up like an epic fireworks show) by a series…

Recipe: Roasted Butternut & Brussels Salad

I’ve always loved a good underdog story. And as far as vegetables go, Brussels Sprouts have really come up from behind in a major way in recent decades, amiright?! I honestly don’t think I ever ate them growing up, and even…

Recipe: Baked Vegetable Soup

Ahhh Autumn. A time to welcome cooler temps and warmer foods. While my heart and body practically live for Summer (nothing pleases me more than sunshine and playing outdoors!), there is also something so satisfying about…

Recipe: Seared Salmon with Lentil Salad

Summer is upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, and one of the most satisfying foods to me this time of year is fresh salmon & fresh greens. I stumbled on this recipe awhile back and was not only stoked at its simplicity, that it also features some of my favorite elements and…

Recipe: Spiced Rice with Cashews

My favorite way to cook is to explore different recipes using the same handful of ingredients. Over the years, Basmati rice has become one of my staples, particularly because it is so commonly used in Ayurvedic cooking, which my diet follows…

Recipe: Fruity & Nutty ‘Go Your Own Way’ Breakfast Cereal

When you get tired of the same box of cereal day in and day out, this is the recipe to add zest, fun, and experimentation to your morning routine. I have become so addicted to this cereal, I make it every week adding new twists…

Ritual: Why Burn Incense?

If you’ve ever walked in to a healing space or Yoga studio, it is highly likely you’ve been met with some sort of sense experience to the nose. There are multiple possible things you might be smelling in such spaces, from Sage to…

Recipe: Maple Apple Pie

You can bet your bum that I did not come to earth to say “no” to dessert! Sweets are by no means an everyday thing for me, and I am mindful to stay away from processed sugar and pre-packaged candies, etc… as much as possible. Still…

Recipe: Summer Cabbage Salad

This Ayurvedic steamed cabbage salad is the embodiment of balanced, fresh, flavorful, and simple. It has quickly become one of my all-time favorites since first making it to serve to the attendees at EXPLORE Retreat. And while it…

Recipe: Garbanzo-Berry Salad

Somewhere out there, some official version of this bean salad might exist, I don't know. This one I made up. I often like to just take what I have around and see how I can combine it to create something tasty. In the warmer months, I love to…

Recipe: Carrot & Ginger Soup

I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. You too? This tasty recipe is for you then! Carrots have a relaxing, cooling effect on the eyes, so this soup is particularly healing after long days of having your eyes locked on the screen…

Recipe: Fresh Fennel & Dill Soup

I LOVE dill! And I love making soup! So this recipe is easily one of my favorites for a light Spring or Summer meal. Fennel has cool, soothing properties so it is great for balancing the body during the sometimes stark transition from winter to…
