Meditation for Relationship to Our Deeper Self

This article was recently posted at www.cranialintelligence.com. Ged Sumner is the principal of the Body Intelligence Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Trainings that I trained with. A very helpful exercise is provided at the end of the article which will help us to get in touch with that deeper self and connection with the primordial, that we have lost in our modern busy, heady world.

Full Moon Detox Potluck

Full Moon Detox Potluck

For the past year or so, ever since one of my kombucha baby adopters mentioned to me the Ayurvedic detox method of oil pulling, I have gotten into a two week ritual of focusing on detoxing which begins the day after the full moon. Oil pulling is also an old Germanic ritual, which Johanna Paungger di ...

Visions Towards a Healed World

Visions Towards a Healed World

I don't like to claim any particular ideology, and I especially prefer to avoid getting involved with US political nonsense since all it really is is smoke and mirrors to keep us all worked up and side-tracked from what is really going on. I do believe we can take care of ourselves through cooperati ...

Oil Pulling Detox

Oil Pulling Detox

I first read of this unusual healing technique in Moon Time: The Art of Harmony with Nature and Lunar Cycles by Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe when I first moved to New Zealand. At that time for some reason I couldn't get my hands on cold-pressed sunflower or sesame oil and didn't get a chanc ...

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay has been a real life-saver for me. I am blown away by the powerful detoxing abilities of this clay. I don't remember where, why or when it was that I first started using bentonite, but I do remember the first place I ever heard of anyone eating any kind of earth was when I read One Hu ...
