Fire ceremonies are a transformational practice that are great for letting go of old things that no longer serve us. In their simplest form they involve writing down everything that we want to get rid of on paper, scrunching it up & throwing it into a fire. Letting go with love and gratitude for its wisdom is a great way to release old baggage 🙏🙂

Very helpful for a partner of an alcoholic. We trying together to cope with this disease. Thanks to a book by Ellen Petersen (net-bossorg/how-to-help-an-alcoholic-you-love), I know how to talk with my husband and how to support him. Doing things together is one of the best way!

I stopped drinking 6 years ago now and I’m so happy to see so many people rethinking drinking! I found that I was missing so much! By giving up one thing, I gained so many more! The awareness of the heart and the presence of mind made me realize I had been missing. It took learning some new habits, feeling awkward, having patience and forgiving myself for not making this change earlier. It was uncomfortable but everything became easier and easier over time. The first 3 weeks can be tough so I always recommend not drinking for no less then 6 months. It can take this long for the body, mind and metabolism to come back into balance. I found that it took at least 6 months and it’s the best to really get an idea of what life can be without drinking. I know that can seem like a really long time and at times it felt like it too!
Yet we only have one short life within these bodies and at this time. To be a living being on a planet during a time of great change is something really special, albeit kinda scary and stressful at times. We are all living in one of those “all hands in deck” type situations where being balanced within oneself is so important. As each of use take that step towards awareness and presence within our own lives we are contributing to balance of all of us as a whole. Each of us is just so important in that way.
I’m so glad I found this site when I was looking for an organic bra!

Plus, they all sound more appealing to me than going out clubbing or doing shots haha. I’m bookmarking this blog post for future social event inspiration. Love this.
