As we approach the Autumn Equinox, a day of cosmic and earthly balance, we can also promote equilibrium within ourselves and in the collective.

The first time I consciously heard the voices of my ancestors was over 25 years ago. I was playing percussion to accompany my college African dance class, when I heard a clear and distinct chorus of voices.

Reiki is a gentle healing technique that helps you to bring your mind, body, spirit, and emotions back into balance. It’s sometimes described as an “energetic massage”—the difference is that you’re fully clothed and, instead of physical manipulation, the focus is on the flow of energy throughout your body.

This time of year feels so ripe for leaning in to ancestral sagacity. Even if you’ve never met a single one of your ancestors, their wisdom is available to you for guidance.

I don’t believe in mistakes any more. They’re just divinely-guided lessons.

Have you experienced a Reiki sound bath with me? There are scientific studies that show the health benefits of sound healing, including decreasing anxiety, chronic stress, depression, and pain, and increasing an overall sense of wellbeing.

Healing is rarely linear.

How are you practicing unconditional self-love?

Are you, too, clearing your physical space?

It’s said that this time of year is magical.

How are stoking your internal flame?
