My Heart
Heart It was a life altering event in history. 9/11. But, September 11, 2001 meant something else to me as well. I was asleep in my college dorm room and around 2 am I received a phone call. It was my Step-Dad; he told me my brother has had a heart attack. He was only 16! I hung up the phone in disbelief. I sat there for a few minutes. Then I called my Step-Dad back thinking he must be pulling some kind of prank. But, he ensured me it was true and my Mom was getting ready to head to the airport with my grandparents. My brother was living with my Dad in another province. After I hung up the second time the news really hit me. I sat there in the dark, alone, on my bed crying. I eventually cried myself to sleep.

My 5 Favorite New Moon Rituals
The new moon is upon us! Just like it does every month, the new moon has it's phases. One very important moon phase is the New Moon. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Al, we know you live in California, but did you really have to go all 'California' on us"? The answer is, what does that even mean? Well, when it comes to the people who have asked me this genuinely, it's that I'm getting super in touch with reading about how the moon can affect our attitudes and our lives. It's actually pretty eye-opening and I recommend you read into it. However, if you're reading this then I also think you're already aware of what I'm talking about. Anyway, when there is a new moon, I like to do some different rituals. I'm not sacrificing anything or sitting in the middle of my apartment, surrounded by candles and speaking in tongues. A new moon signifies a time for new beginnings and to take a deep dive into our inner selves. If you're interested in trying this out, here are five of my favorite New Moon rituals.

The Days That Changed My Life
January 30, 2018 the first day that changed my life forever. I was doing my monthly breast exam to check to see if I had any lumps or anything strange in my breast and then all of a sudden there it was, a lump in my left breast. I asked my mother to check it out just to make sure I was feeling what I thought I was feeling and she felt it too. I then immediately made an appointment with my primary care physician.

A complete guide to Panchakarma cleansing therapy
Today, Ayurveda is becoming a way of living because of the many benefits that it offers. It has taken the shape of a modern-day movement that transforms how we treat our bodies and mind. Ayurveda helps sharpen our sense of self-awareness and inner sensitivity by making us listen to our bodies and minds and responding to them through the tools of nature. This practice, through the use of herbs, oils, roots, and plants for the prevention and treatment of various illnesses, has created its own loyal group of practitioners and followers. Also considered as the oldest system of healing, the term Ayurveda in Sanskrit means ‘The science of life’. This ancient knowledge originated in the Indian subcontinent around 5000 years ago. With the advent of globalization, this science of healing has spread far and wide. And today, everyone from all over has benefited from Ayurvedic practice.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Free Weekly Reading #34
Reading for 8-10 thru 8-16-20 This week looks like one of gratitude, acceptance, compassion and release. With The Empress, Death and the Sword of Truth --the Ace of Swords-- we find ourselves in a unique position. One where we realize there are some things, no matter how familiar, how dear or how woven into the fabric of our lives, that no longer contribute to our happiness, comfort, sense of self or ability to embrace who we are at the depths of our being. This is a week of gentle honesty with ourselves in which we can see what needs to be released for us to regain a positive sense of self. We also see a determined honesty that allows us to speak our minds in a way that’s simple, direct, and understanding of those who will be impacted by our decisions. Though the Ace of Swords often urges us to use its sharp edges to make a point, the Empress adds the compassion needed to be honest without anger or retribution in mind allowing understanding to soften the edges and still make the point.

Spanish's Covid19 Nightmare (I)
“Felix, the news is talking some shit about a virus. Those Chinese s....” This sentence stills resounds in my head. It was December the first time I heard news about a new SARS-Covid. My closest ones made fun of the issue, even Media minimized the situation. A solo China issue claimed all.
