Make November a Month to Remember: Healing Pain Harvesting Pleasure
6:30 am this morning, I grabbed my coffee and sat on my balcony, my daily routine. Meditation after vivid dreams centered on the number 5 and a window view of a deciduous yellow birch, revealed this week's spiritual message about pain and its opposite, pleasure. Guided by nature and the divine, "Make November a month to remember" came to me with harvest-specific downloads. Personally related events inspire today's huddle, but the message is deeper and not limited to only me.

The Heart Remembers Calm: Returning Through Compassion
There are days when peace feels far away — when the mind is noisy, the body restless, and the heart guarded. The world, with all its movement and demand, can make stillness seem like a luxury, or worse, an impossibility. Yet beneath all the surface noise, there’s a quieter rhythm that never really leaves us. I’ve come to think of it as the heart’s memory — the way it knows, even when we forget, how to return to calm.

Listening to Silence: How Absence Speaks
There’s a moment at the end of a long day — when the last sounds fade, when conversation drifts away, when even the hum of the world seems to pause — that something subtle begins to speak. It’s not a sound exactly. More like a presence that emerges in the gaps, in the pauses between what’s been said and what hasn’t. It’s the quiet that waits behind everything.

The Body Knows the Way: Relearning Ease Through Sensation
For most of my life, I lived from the neck up — thinking, analyzing, managing, explaining. My mind was always busy: evaluating choices, replaying conversations, rehearsing what might come next. It was efficient, yes, but rarely at peace. I carried tension in my shoulders, tightness in my jaw, a subtle restlessness in every breath. I thought if I could just think my way through everything, I’d find freedom. Instead, I found fatigue.

The Space That Holds Us: Trusting What We Cannot Control
There are days when life feels like a series of small negotiations — trying to make things work, to keep them aligned, to hold it all together. The mind strategizes, adjusts, anticipates, clings. Underneath it all hums a single question: What will happen if I let go?

Study: Heat Waves May Accelerate Aging as Much as Smoking or Drinking Alcohol.
The planet is heating up faster than ever before. Each summer seems hotter than the last, and deadly heat waves are becoming increasingly common across continents. Beyond the immediate discomfort and health risks, scientists are now uncovering deeper, long-term consequences of this environmental shift. According to a new study, continuous exposure to heat waves may accelerate biological aging — effectively making the body older at the cellular level — to a degree comparable to the effects of smoking or alcohol consumption.

Weightless Presence: Letting the Moment Hold You
There are days when life feels heavy — not because of anything extraordinary, but because of the constant, invisible weight of trying. Trying to do things right. Trying to hold ourselves together. Trying to stay balanced amid the endless push and pull of experience. Even when we sit down to rest, effort follows us, humming in the background like a familiar tension. I know that hum well — the soft strain of always managing, always holding on.

Listening with the Body: Presence Beyond Thought
There are ways of listening that have nothing to do with the ears. We often think of listening as an act of understanding — of interpreting words, deciphering meaning, forming response. But beneath that level of mind, there’s a subtler kind of listening — one that happens through the body. The skin, the breath, the pulse — they’re all in quiet conversation with the world. When we begin to notice that dialogue, presence deepens into something more whole, more real.

How to Balance Estrogen Through Your Diet: Pro Tips
I’m sure many of you have heard (or read!) me say this before, but… You can’t actually “balance” your hormones. They aren’t meant to be balanced. Hormones, of all kinds and all jobs in the body, are designed to fluctuate as part of running metabolism, the circadian rhythm and so much more. These ebbs and flows allow for various organ systems to do their jobs! Balancing hormones in a way that would cause stagnation or steady levels might actually prevent typical functions - this is how oral contraceptives work, by supplying the body with a steady level of estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation from occurring.

The Kindness of Breath: Healing Without Striving
There’s a softness to breath that I often forget — a rhythm so quiet it almost hides beneath the noise of the day. The breath asks for nothing, demands no perfection, doesn’t measure whether we’re doing it right. It just moves — steady, kind, continuous. No matter how restless the mind becomes, the breath keeps returning, whispering its quiet assurance: you’re still here.
