There are two types of “cord cutting.”
One is the act of giving up cable television in your house, and the other is an energetic cleansing tool that can have a powerful and positive impact on your life.
Today, we’re discussing the latter — spiritual cord severing, specifically: cutting ties with candles.
Cord cutting can detach you from things, people, ideas, addictions, and even fears.
Whether you want to disavow a recent event or something that happened 20 years ago, cord cutting can help.
Earthing is the practice of walking barefoot on the Earth’s surface, which is said to improve your health by allowing your body to absorb negative ions from the ground.
You can also practice it by using devices that create a current that moves through the body.
Some people believe earthing can also help reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and relieve pain.
Like most people, you probably think of earthing as a completely natural way to improve your health.
But what about the potential negative side effects?
Is there anything to worry about?
Let’s take a closer look at the potential risks associated with earthing and help you decide if it’s right for you.
Have you ever heard people talk about the shadow self or their shadow side?
If you’re unfamiliar with the topic, it may sound a little “woo-woo.”
But the truth is that shadow work has been a psychological staple for several decades.
So what is your shadow self?
How can you access it?
Should you explore it?
We’re going to unpack all of it in this post.
So get comfortable, and let’s dive into the whats, hows, and whys of shadow work.
Do you remember the last time you learned something new?
How did it feel?
For most of us, learning something new is an exhilarating experience.
We are excited to learn and discover new ideas and insights.
But this feeling tends to fade as we get older when we are less inclined to admit we don’t know everything.
Why do we lose our beginner’s mind as adults?
And how can we recapture that excitement for learning?
Let’s explore these questions and offer some solutions to our faded desire to be beginners again.
All of us have an inner voice that tells us to be cautious around certain people or situations or to try a bold new idea.
That’s intuition.
The ability to understand something immediately, without conscious reasoning, is called intuition.
In contrast, anxiety is a feeling of worry, unease, or nervousness about an uncertain event.
You might feel dread or a gut sense of discomfort and assume it’s your intuition trying to tell you something.
Often, it manifests as physical symptoms, like a racing heart, sweating, and shaky hands.
So, what’s the distinction between intuition and anxiety?
Are you wondering how to be content with what you have?
For many people, linking our self-worth and happiness to our possessions and accomplishments is an established way of thinking that has been ingrained into us.
Our society and culture encourage this mindset, and our parents raised many of us to think this way.
We were taught to always strive for more.
More money, more “stuff,” and more accomplishments.
It requires a conscious effort to be a contented person.
What is the difference between yoga and meditation?
Is yoga a form of meditation?
These questions arise because both practices come from Eastern cultures and offer similar benefits, such as calming the mind and enhancing well-being.
However, they serve different purposes and are distinct practices.
Yoga is commonly recognized as a physical exercise that has been around for thousands of years.
Yoga focuses on poses and breath, while meditation is a mental practice that helps your body relax and clears your mind.
Both practices have grown in popularity over the past few years and each have a range of health benefits (more on this below).
Meditation and yoga enhance one’s quality of life, but in separate ways.
The power of observation is profound and challenging.
You can look at something but not observe it.
The challenge of improving observation skills goes as far back as the Bible, where several times it is written, “You will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
If you want to know how to improve observation skills, ask yourself: are you looking or really observing?
Let’s go to the root of the word difference between looking and observing.
LOOK: “Direct one’s gaze toward someone or something or in a specified direction.”
OBSERVE: “Notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.”
The key difference is when you observe, you learn something. When you simply look, you only notice that something is there.
Self-love is mindfully learning to appreciate and care for yourself.
It usually manifests as personal regard for well-being and happiness.
But self-love doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Instead, it grows from actions and rituals that foster physical, psychological, and spiritual growth.
There are many ways to define self-love, but ultimately, it means prioritizing personal needs without sacrificing your responsibilities to others.
Many consider self-love narcissistic.
However, science suggests that practicing self-love can positively impact mental health, self-esteem, and overall life satisfaction.
We all know that person who seems easily offended and upset about the slightest thing.
Maybe you are even that person yourself. If so, don’t worry – you’re not alone!
It can be tough not to let things bother you.
But if you’re sick of feeling angry, frustrated, and stressed all the time about small things, it’s worth learning how to stop letting them get to you.
Here is a guide to help you do just that.
