Pumpkin Soup with Cranberries and Sage

At this time of year, there's always an abundant supply of pumpkins, squashes and fall harvest. I found a way to incorporate all of it together after trying a fruity soup that wasn't savoury enough. After playing around with the flavours, this recipe is the one that everyone loved. Its complex flavour has all the elements of a crisp, fall day. It's a creamy soup that's healthy, full of fruits and vegetables and there's no cream in sight. Enjoy!

Different Modes of Sensing - Part 12: Telepathy

I have been exploring the many ways human beings receive information beyond the five commonly recognized senses. Some of these modes are easier to name because they arrive through images, sensations, inner knowing, or sound. Telepathy is a little different because it involves a direct connection between beings. It is subtle, intimate, and often easiest to recognize after the moment has already happened.

The Energy We Bring on Vacation

I've come to realize something important. It's never the place that determines whether a holiday is joyful. It's the energy we each bring with us.

We're bringing our personalities, our stress, our expectations, our parenting styles, our habits, our nervous systems, and often, generations of family history.

Learning to be in right relationship with your sensitivity; so that your nervous system, your energy body, and your Clair‑sensing gifts can work together on your behalf, instead of against you.

Let Go of that Toxic Relationship - Lesson’s Learned from Heartbreak - Part 1

I fell the way only the young can - completely, recklessly, believing swagger was the same thing as love.

Years later, we met one final time. He brought me a new backpack, as though something tangible could replace all that had been lost. But this time, I spoke. I told him what the gaslighting had cost me, how the avoidance had quietly bruised me from the inside out, and how long it takes to untangle yourself from someone else’s permission to feel worthy.

It wasn’t the closure I once imagined.

It was better.

It was mine.

Why You Feel “Loopy” (And It’s Not Just Sleep Deprivation)

There may be more going on than just fatigue. Your body may be signalling that something in the gut–brain–metabolic axis needs support. And when that axis is restored, people don’t just feel “less tired.” They feel like themselves again. Sometimes its just a few simple things like diet, hydration and a visit to our clinic to set things right again.

Different Modes of Sensing - Part 10: Highly Sensitive Person

We need highly sensitive people in this world. They see the intricate layers of human depths that no one else sees, and uses them to enrich the world.   Most people might not think they can relate to high sensitivity, but chances are good that your favourite songs, paintings, and stories were created by the highly sensitive. HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons) are gifted with the power to reach into the world of feelings and dreams; and distill them as eye-opening moments for others.
