I’ll be totally honest, my mind’s not 100% here right now. I’m singing with my friend’s band tomorrow night and I’m SUPER nervous. I haven’t performed in front of a large crowd since high school, when I was the lead in the school musical. This is the most adventurous thing I’ve done since I got…

Today really feels like spring. It’s 60 degrees outside, sunny, and just a little bit windy. I found myself driving to the market with the windows rolled all the way down, singing to the radio at the top of my lungs. There’s something about a day like today that makes me think of fresh starts…

Today’s Sunday Sutra is about the third eye, or Ajna, chakra. This chakra is associated with the pituitary gland, known as the “master gland” of the body as it regulates the function of many other endocrine glands. The third eye chakra is also associated with intuition, understanding, and clairvoyant activity. Now, I know I may…

Today’s Sunday Sutra is all about the Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, the center of communication and self-expression in our bodies. While the throat chakra is, funnily enough, located at the throat, the bodily sense associated with this chakra is hearing. I think this is fascinating. Backing up a step…. the chakras were first clearly delineated in…
