    Today’s Shot 5

    by Beth Haley

    What comes to mind when you think of the South? Charm perhaps? Ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss? This is a picture that will always be branded in my mind of Aiken, SC.

    The old South Boundary Avenue of old oaks arching overhead is an unforgettable site. Or sight? Both!


    I’ll get back to Alternative health eventually, but for now… travel has kept me busy! Today, I spent the afternoon with the most wonderful soul and came back home to my first love: a horse! Horses are another element that I will always associate with Aiken. And, to coming home.

    Wherever I travel, I come across interesting resting spaces. They seem to call to me from roadways, from under trees and within gated sanctuaries.


    I found an enormous magnolia tree today and beneath its gigantic, sheltering arms, was a resting space for one, nestled within the fallen leaves.

    The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

  • Love Moon

    Love Moon

    by Thela 🦊 Foxgood

    The New Moon In Libra works with Venus the planet of love. It is a good time for new beginnings and fresh starts, and for setting goals and intentions.

    Love is an energy. It is friendship. It is family. It is romantic love. It has many faces and comes in many ways, shapes and forms.

    A part of bringing more love into our lives and opening up to receive it, is to begin releasing attachments: attachments to “who”, “when” and “how.” Let go of what you think love has to look like and open your heart to simply receive love in all her many forms.


    Inhale the vibration of love

    Exhale, and let go of “who”

    Inhale the vibration of deep connection

    Exhale, and let go of “when”

    Inhale the vibration of passion

    Exhale, and let go of “how”


    Instead of thinking that love has to be a specific person, at a specific time and in a specific way, make a list of what love “feels” like to you. Whether it is friendship, family or romantic love; whether it is an existing love or new, love feels like:

    It feels like security

    It feels like a warm fire on a cold night

    It feels like a cool pool of water in the heat of the day

    It feels delicious

    It feels caring

    It feels devoted

    It feels like sharing

    It feels like laughter

    It feels like sparkle and sunshine

    It feels like being heard

    It feels like abundance

    It feels healthy

    It feels balanced

    It feels mutual

    It feels like Anam Cara

    It feels tender

    It feels everlasting

    It feels like hugs

    It feels like kindness

    It feels like understanding

    It feels like a shoulder to lean on

    It feels like a solid foundation

    It feels like standing on holy ground

    It feels like connection

    It feels like peacefully sharing space

    It feels like communion

    It feels like angels all around

    It feels like kindred spirits

    It feels like magic

    It feels like adoring presence

    It feels like companionship

    It feels equal

    It feels spiritual

    It feels like being enough

    It feels like comfort

    It feels like coming home.


    Love is here now, in each of us. And, for each of us.


    Another part of receiving is giving thanks.

    So after making a list, spend some time in gratitude for your blessings now, and for new ones on their way!!

  • Who Now?

    Who Now?

    by Beth Haley

    If you were to remove the titles of all of the roles that you play in life (mother, friend, partner, daughter, son, sister, brother, yoga teacher, jogger, swimmer, computer programmer) and instead, focused on what those roles bring out in you, or bring to you (security, love, caring, sharing) or what it is about these roles that you like or that fulfill you, what would a journal entry titled, “Who am I?” look like now?

    What makes you the happiest? How can you create your life around the elements which bring you the greatest joy?

    Instead of asking “why” when your expectations don’t match your reality – ask, “What am I leaning?”

    “Hygge moments are the small everyday moments that make you happy. The best of them are bright and shining like stars. Having a word for it makes you aware that they are right in front of your eyes. Ready for you to collect.”

  • Palm Tree

    A great exercise to strengthen your ankles, and calves as well, is the Palm Tree.

    Sit in a chair, or stand in Mountain Pose with your hands lightly touching a wall. As you inhale, raise your heels up as far up as is comfortable. Exhale and bring them back down. Repeat 5 to 10 times
