I love the irony of Summer - it’s when we are “supposed to have the most fun, but its also a time of year when things can feel more intense because of all the light and the heat. 

For women, the pitta energy of achievement and drive can leave us feeling depleted simply because the dopamine hit that...

Blue moon blessings to you on this last day of May! As the moon moves through its cycles, this is the last full moon before Summer officially begins.

In Ayurveda, Summer heat affects more than the environment around us - it affects how our bodies feel too. The sun is stronger, the days are longer, ...

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day yesterday. I like to experience this Hallmark holiday as an opportunity to focus on my relationships. While it's lovely and fulfilling to spend time with loved ones we cherish, I want to encourage us to also focus on the relationship we each have with ourselves...

Happy February! Depending on where you live, this month is sometimes the last month of deep Winter. Let's not forget the wisdom that Winter has to share with us, even if we are chomping at the bit for it to be over.

In the quiet of winter, there’s so much life unfolding beneath the surface. Brother...

"Love is the greatest force in the universe. 

It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. 

He who loves is a participant in the being of God." 

- Martin Luther King Jr.

On this first New Moon of 2026, and the eve of MLK Jr. Day, in this darkness of Wintertime, when there is so much pain in our coll...

Today is that last night of Hanukkah and the actual Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. I love that these two celebrations have aligned this year - we light the most candles on the longest night of the year. (My research revealed that this overlap happens roughly eve...

We are half-way through December. Wow!

Here in Floyd, VA we have had our first good snowfall, the Solstice is coming up in a week, and holiday happenings abound.

My friend Rachel recently wrote this in an email and I just LOVED it. She speaks so beautifully to the challenges we all face in early W...

Autumn is the season of Vata dosha (Air/Wind and Space elements) — cool, light, and dry. If we don’t balance these qualities, we may feel scattered, restless, or depleted. Here are some tips for why food matters so much right now:

Why we avoid cold, dry, rough foods (like salads, crackers, granola,...

Tomorrow we celebrate the last day of our Autumn Detox aligning with the October new moon.

What a sacred journey the past 3 weeks of this Autumn Detox has been! We’ve nourished our bodies, calmed our minds, and released clutter from our homes and daily schedules. Like the trees letting go of their ...

When I first started practicing Ayurveda in my mid-30s, it seemed like menopause was a long way off, but in retrospect I was most likely about to begin the evolutionary process known as perimenopause (the 10 or so years that lead up to a fully year of not having a menstrual cycle).

Now, on the bri...

How are you feeling? I hope you are doing well after the daylight savings shift and the recent full moon & eclipse, not to mention all the other shifts happening daily in our world.

If you are feeling a little "off" these days, you are not alone. Navigating the shifts in the seasons alongside natu...

Happy March!

As we prepare for the time shift coming March 9th, I have been getting curious about this question: Why does Daylight Savings Time exist?

This question got me curious about why and when DST is practiced in some states in the US. So I did some research and found out some really interes...

You know that saying, “We can’t love others if we don’t love ourselves?” Well, it might have deeper implications than you originally thought…

There was a moment when I realized that the negative dialogue I subconsciously had going on inside my own head was being projected onto the people I loved th...

It's February! Yesterday was Imbolc, the midway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Crossing the Imbolc threshold feels hopeful because it means Spring is right around the corner.

As someone who used to struggle with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and still mostly dreads February...

Take a moment before you continue reading and take a deep breath. Close your eyes and take another.

Can you feel this moment in humanity? So many people, from all walks of life, feel that we are on the cusp of a great shift in our collective reality and within our individual consciousness. It’s a h...
