Astrology: time to get out the comfy pants

Reading Time: 5 minutes If things mysteriously slow down, there is nothing wrong or broken. You are doing it right.

You’re merely being offered this opportunity to reflect on that which lies beyond the known: future plans, projects you’re halfway through, new versions of yourself which are being invented even as you read these words.

Remember that if you find your projects and plans are no longer resonant, it can initially feel annoying. All that time you’ve invested, all that work you’ve done, and now you find you want a different goal!

Choose to celebrate that awareness, rather than bemoan it.

Detox with the Season: Simple, Nourishing Routines

Reading Time: 4 minutes Are you ready to renew and refresh your outsides and your insides for Spring?

In my last two posts on Confluence I wrote about how the changing of the seasons—especially the advent of spring or autumn—is an excellent time for a Detox. A Spring Cleanse if you will.

In Ayurvedic Medicine – which is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, developed more that 3,000 years ago in India—it is customary to detox for 2-6 weeks at the beginning of Spring and again at the beginning of Autumn. The Ayurvedic detox involves limiting your diet to specific foods, herbs and spices, and several other practices.

But cleansing and detoxing with the seasons is a practice that spans many cultures, and in modern times it can be particularly helpful after a winter spent consuming heavier foods, which is our natural tendency when it’s cold outside.

What does the current iteration of the Republican Party really want?

Reading Time: 2 minutes When the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, the nobility is intact, and the peasants are seen and not heard. Which is utterly pleasant for the person sitting at the dining table, and not so grand for those doing the cooking.

The aim, then, of today’s Republican Party – it’s gotta be – is to restore the monarchy.

Which was not, if you ask me – in the slightest – the aim of the Founders.

Confessions of a Drama Addict

Reading Time: 4 minutes Make no mistake, drama is an addiction. It’s as simple as this, I tend to run a little cool, a little low energy, so when I’m sluggish, I can have a Dr. Pepper, a hit of drama, or I can be a rational person and take a nap. Let the record reflect I suffered from adrenal fatigue for a decade, so it doesn’t take a doctor to tell how I might tend to manage my energy deficit.

Give Your Eyes a Rest

Reading Time: 2 minutes Good visual health should be a component of maintaining your overall health and well-being. While the frequency of visits to your eye doctor typically varies for individual needs, most healthy adults should receive a comprehensive eye exam every year or two, which is included in most vision insurance plans. Eye exams can detect vision problems and allow you to adjust with corrective lenses, if necessary. This visit can also allow you to discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, including eye strain.
