Nurture Your Body To Boost Your Spirit
When we think of spiritual practices, we generally focus on activities like meditation, prayer, energy healing, or divination.
While these are all important, we sometimes overlook a crucial pillar of our spiritual groth and well-being: caring for our physical body.
The body that carries us through life is sacred. The familiar phrase, “My body is my temple,” contains a profound truth.
When we treat our body with love, intention, and reverence, it naturally supports the expansion of our spiritual awareness and soul evolution.
Our body is how we experience the world. It’s easy to overvalue the mind alone, but the brain is also part of the physical body.
Without nurturing our physical well-being, our cognitive and intuitive functions can falter. The clearer and more vital our physical state, the more clarity and depth we bring to every level of our consciousness.
At some point on our spiritual path, we are called to care deeply for our physical body. What this looks like varies from person to person. Of course, if you’re dealing with any health concerns, it’s essential to see a qualified healthcare provider.
However, you don’t need to overhaul your life to get started. You can start by attending to your physical wellness with simple changes like drinking more water, moving your body daily, limiting screen time, enjoying time in nature, and choosing nourishing foods.
What To Do When He Disappears Into His Cave
He tells you he loves you, wants to be with you all the time, and can’t get enough of you. He calls and texts you constantly, and you feel like you’ve found the perfect relationship. You love the way he makes you feel. He must be “the one.”
Then, suddenly, he’s gone. No calls, no texts, no dates, nothing. Ghosted.
And you’re left wondering: What happened? Where did he go? Was it something I said, or did?
Well, no. He just retreated into his “cave.” It is where your man goes to think, breathe, and figure out what’s going on in his head.
This is the mysterious and often frustrating time-out that men often take when they realize things are moving too fast, or when they start to feel deeply attached.
For us women, especially those who are spiritually aware and emotionally intuitive, this sudden withdrawal can be very confusing and even painful.
Women tend to thrive on connection and open communication, and we naturally want to nurture and support others. So, when the man we care about suddenly becomes distant, it can trigger our deepest fears of abandonment or rejection.
But here’s what you need to understand: his retreat is not about you.
Manifest Your Best Life While You Learn To Meditate
Meditation is an ancient, time-tested practice that offers remarkable health benefits that can profoundly impact our overall well-being and happiness.
It can also shape our daily reality in powerful ways. A regular meditation practice can improve your ability to manifest your wishes and desires.
Meditation is a conduit for life-altering experiences with seld and spirit. It opens a line of communication with the universe that is both thrilling and comfortingly familiar. It offers wisdom, clarity, and peace, inviting you into a deeper relationship with your own divinity.
Unfortunately, many people struggle to make meditation a daily habit because it challenges modern habits of constant stimulation and relentless productivity. In a society that values busyness, the idea of “sitting still” or “doing nothing” can feel strange or uncomfortable to many.
Another major barrier is the common misconception that meditation requires a completely “cleared mind.” This sets an unrealistic expectation.
When you consider daily distractions, lack of time, and uncertainty about how to begin, it’s easy to see why so many people don’t meditate. However, the beauty of meditation is that it meets you where you are, and no perfection is required.
One of the most enduring myths about meditation is the belief that your success hinges on completely clearing your mind and eliminating all thoughts. In reality, this is just one type of meditation, and it’s a particularly difficult one to master!
Spirit’s Three-Step Remedy For The Scattered Mind
I love to meditate. It’s my sacred coffee break with the cosmos — the moment when I trade phone pings and to-do lists for the whispers of spirit and the soothing hum of the universe.
Before every session, I set an intention. Usually it is a question I’d like spirit to answer. I think of it as sending a “text message” to the divine and waiting, phone in hand, for the soft chime of truth.
Today’s intention led me straight to the heart of a puzzle that troubles many parents, teachers, and sensitive individuals: Why does Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) seem to be skyrocketing in society?
In classrooms, offices, and even yoga studios, more of us are struggling with scattered focus and mental fatigue. Studies now suggest that our screen-filled, high-pressure lives may be pushing hidden attention problems into a full-blown pandemic.
I felt compelled to ask, “Is there more to the story than brain chemistry and prescription medication?”
After a longer than usual session, I emerged with a couple of journal pages full of insights that felt refreshingly simple, yet profoundly wise.
The first thing I saw in my meditation was a vision of life in the pre-internet age before we had smartphones.
I saw in my mind’s eye neighbors chatting on porches, children riding their bikes in the street until dinnertime, and evenings lit by conversation instead of blue screens. The pace was slower, and people’s nervous systems were calmer.
Navigating The Sacred Journey Of Grief
As a psychic medium, I have spent decades bearing witness to the immense and complex journey of grief.
Over the years, I’ve learned that grief has many faces and forms. It is not only about death and dying. It can arise from various types of loss, such as the loss of a pet, the end of a relationship, a change in life path, the loss of a job, or moving away from a beloved home.
My clients often tell me, “My heart has a hole in it,” or “It feels like my heart has been torn apart.”
These aren’t just metaphors. Grief can feel so intense that it seems like a physical injury — like a ‘heart attack’ of the soul. Grief reverberates through our heart, mind, body, and spirit, leaving no part of us untouched.
One of the most important truths I’ve learned is that grief is deeply personal. No two people experience it in the same way. There is no “normal” way to grieve or a fixed timeline.
Some people begin to feel a little lighter after a few weeks or months, while for others, the sorrow lingers for years or even decades. And that’s okay.
Grieving means you loved deeply, cared sincerely, and connected profoundly. It is not just about saying goodbye, but also about building a new relationship with their absence — one that carries forward the love in a different way.
A Sign From Spirit, Or A Fear-Based Superstition?
My father and his extended family were very superstitious. For instance, they would never buy a car on a Friday, refused to talk about new shoes in the morning, and never left a house through the back door after entering through the front. I could go on.
These old-world beliefs were ingrained in their way of life and passed down from generation to generation like heirlooms of caution and misery. However, I never experienced any objective evidence that these beliefs were valid — until I had my own unique experience that I at first believed might have been a bad omen.
It was 1983, and I had been hoping to get a job with the local council for quite some time. Then, one day, out of the blue, I landed a contract with them! I was overjoyed. The salary was fantastic and I felt incredibly fortunate, because many people in the UK were unemployed and struggling with a recession.
That weekend, I decided to celebrate by buying a large bottle of very expensive wine. However, as I left the liquor store, the bottle slipped through my fingers and shattered on the ground.
“Oh dear,” I said to my late sister. “I hope that doesn’t mean my dreams will shatter like that! Maybe this is a sign from the universe that my new job will have a bad outcome?”
My dear sister, ever the voice of reason, assured me that it was simply an accident and not a bad omen. Still, coming from a superstitious family, I carried that thought and fear with me into the job.
In the beginning, things went relatively well. But soon, my colleagues turned out to be cruel and nasty, the boss’s secretary was a bully, my boyfriend dumped me, and my father, due to his narcissistic tendencies, kept asking whether I was truly “capable of doing the job.”
Start Your Day With An Empowering Rune Meditation
The runes may hail from a distant past, but their wisdom is timeless.
Originally carved into stone and wood by the Germanic and Norse peoples over a thousand years ago, runes are much more than an archaic writing system. They are sacred symbols, each representing archetypal truths, elemental forces, and spiritual awareness.
Warriors, healers, seers, and travelers carried these symbols as talismans to protect themselves, receive guidance, and connect with the unseen energies of life.
In a world dominated by fleeting digital messages and materialistic values, the ancient Nordic runes still whisper their ancestral wisdom across the millennia.
They are energetic sigils—mystical symbols designed to invoke change, inspire clarity, and restore harmony with the cycles of nature and spirit.
Each rune pulses with a unique frequency—a metaphysical code capable of unlocking personal insight, inner strength, and spiritual transformation. Etched into stone by hands long vanished, the runes carry the weight of sacred intention.
They remind us that language and symbolism are instruments of creative power, not just tools for communication. Integrating runes into our modern lives reconnects us with an ancient way of knowing that speaks of path, purpose, and destiny.
