I was in the checkout line two days ago behind a truly beautiful young woman. I guess she was 23. I wondered why I see so few people like this?

While they may be different, love and learning have more in common than you think.

The language of dreams, the nature of trauma, and why altered states of awareness reveal truths ordinary thinking cannot reach.

The neurological part of depression can be retrained, but there’s more to it. Depression is carried in the body and in the energies of the body.
