To watch his woods fill up with snow.”

Spirituality & Health: Introducing Nagomi
by Ken Mogi
Neuroscientist and author Ken Mogi shares ways to practice nagomi, a Japanese concept of balance.
Today, many people are feeling that the world is becoming complex and that it is difficult to find the right path in one’s life. From career choices to the agony of selecting from streamed videos, there are increasingly more possibilities to choose from, and yet so little time to make a decision.

By Patti Wigington
Updated on March 06, 2017
To the ancient Egyptians, Ra was the ruler of the heavens – and he still is for many Pagans today! He was the god of the sun, the bringer of light, and patron to the pharaohs.

Exemplore: Sevens in Tarot and What They Mean
BEV GAUG 24, 2022
The sevens in tarot are not just about the number seven. In the tarot structure, they fall in that ‘awkward place’ between five and ten, and they often pose a challenge in their interpretation.

EarthSky News: Earth closest to sun on January 4
Earth’s orbit around the sun isn’t a circle. Instead, it’s an ellipse. So it makes sense that Earth swings closest to the sun once each year. For 2023, that moment happens at 16 UTC (10 a.m. CST) on January 4 … this morning for us in North America.

Inner Journey:THE PATH TO WHOLENESS
We think that God has blessed us if we don’t have too many troubles. In fact, religions have erroneously taught us that pain is punishment for our sins. We often ask, “What have I done wrong?” when things do not go the way we want.
Yet, to become ourselves in the truest and deepest sense, we must face our own duality, which of course includes facing our darkness. As souls we strive for wholeness, not for perfection.
At first, we really don’t know what is going on. We just find life difficult, challenging and often painful. Eventually, after much experience and reflection, we start to find meaning in it all. Eventually, we gladly accept the means whereby we can do the Soul work we have come for.
As we become conscious as Souls, we walk our journey purposefully, embracing the reality of our earthly nature along with the truth of our divine nature.
“When we are conscious of our personal uniqueness and our universal nature we express ourselves creatively. In this way we fulfill our dreams and our life purpose.”
— Andrew Schneider
