Holistic Living
After all, the memories must go somewhere When the synapse-lightning flickers out And all is dark and silent. Souls cross Lethe, Touch foot to the far shore, Touch lips to the glass And are relieved, Maybe. But physics tells us nothing is destroyed; Mass and energy transform and merge But nothing disappears. And anyone will tell you memories Are that: all energy or weighty mass A lift or press: bright wings or stone or clay. So do the faded waters cloud, or warm Or is there … [Read more...]
When light plates a thing, it will, in some sense, forever be plated, forever be captured and living and spoken. How much of what we see will we also see in the afterlife? you asked. And how much can we pack to take with us? If light can be framed, it can be kept, though not the filtered kind, the bits that waffle through the kitchen window screens in foreign shapes and sentences over bagels in the breakfast nook. There is a level to the solid world that the dead … [Read more...]

Dear Nadine, My daughter Ella is 16 and very psychic. She knows things before they happen and she doesn't know what to make of it all. I want to help her, but I'm not sure where to start and sometimes, our relationship gets a little strained when I bring things up. Any help is appreciated. ~ Concerned Mum from Minneapolis Dear Concerned Mum, The teenage years aren't easy are they? Take a vat of tumultuous hormones, throw in a need for independence, a quest for identity and add a tablespoon … [Read more...]
Joseph Campbell once said that people aren't so much interested in the meaning of life as they are in having an experience of life. Terrence Malik's latest movie, The Tree of Life, seeks to uncover that experience in us. It is an exercise in being alive in the moment. I say "exercise" because it is two hours and eighteen minutes long. You really have to want to be there. But if you are in a meditative mood and you trust Malick's ability to show you what you're missing whilst you're dreaming … [Read more...]
2012 is here. Finally. After many years of anticipation, sensationalism, foreboding, titillation and wild prophecies, we've reached the end of the Mayan calendar. The era of momentous astrological configurations. World upheaval. Apocalyptic destruction. Dissolution of the world as we know it. Mass landing of UFOs. The spiritual ascension of humanity. The dawn of a new age. And on and on and on.... Prophets, authors, soothsayers, shamans and Hollywood have had a field day predicting, … [Read more...]
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...You are the trailblazer of the zodiac. With Uranus the Awakener in your sign for the next six years, you can bring innovative, next-level ideas into the world. To do this, though, you need to live and work in an environment that is open to what you have to offer. Set your intention and commit to the work necessary to make it so. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)...You can have your cake and eat it too — if you're willing to get fanatical about self-discipline and routine. … [Read more...]
What does it mean to move as one? More simply, I can tell you how it feels -- You feel good! -- in your thoughts, your body, and your emotions. You feel excited about achieving your goal, your heart is inspired and happy, and your body is light. Or you may feel relaxed, centered and peaceful with a sense of knowingness. So to move as one, it means your body, mind, heart and spirit are all in agreement with your goal. Easy enough?! Right? But it doesn't always feel easy, especially in those … [Read more...]
This year, The Edge has invited you, the reader, to share your personal experience with us, and this month, we asked you to write on, "My Unexpected Awakening." We received submissions that we are proud to share with you. Experiential writing is a style that simply shares an experience you had. It’s ripe with detail and emotion. It describes how something felt, to you. It inspires people not by suggesting what is, or what might be, but by sharing what was, for you, and the magic or … [Read more...]

The list was compiled after looking through current superfoods literature. BERRIES The berry category covers many different fruits, but the few specifically … [Read more...]
The thought of the year 2012 brings to the minds of many images of gloom and doom, death and destruction, and the potential reemergence of mankind from its ashes. In the last few years there have been countless books, movies and television specials discussing what the authors believe will happen on December 21, 2012. After investigating all of the available evidence, I have come to my own conclusion as to what will happen on that highly anticipated date. Before I jump to the punch line and … [Read more...]
An excerpt from Enlightenment Ain't What it Is Cracked Up To Be: A Journey of Discovery, Snow and Jazz in the Soul. It all began January 4, 1972, at about 4:00 in the afternoon, in a hotel on the beach in Mallorca, Spain, on a nine-month meditation retreat with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I couldn't miss the change. What I noticed immediately was that almost all of the background noise in my mind had disappeared. All those inarticulate mutterings, the endless half-thoughts beneath my thinking, … [Read more...]
Life is so fascinating. A few months ago I was fired from a bizarrely stressful job. I had been putting money aside the whole time I was there, not having any clue that this would happen. The hilarious synchronicity is that I was fired on the very day Mercury went retrograde. When I realized that timing I couldn't stop laughing. Mercury retrograde symbolizes a time to stop, reconsider and contemplate. Another irony is the timing of getting fired. It happened when my savings were at their … [Read more...]
I have always been the picture of health, so when I started having distressing symptoms that sounded like possible ovarian cancer, I finally went to see my doctor. After all the lab tests and even a CT scan, everything pointed once more to the clean bill of health I have always had. But I felt like crap! There were days at work when I wondered if I would make it through my shift. What was going on with me? In addition to the physical symptoms, there were the "other" symptoms -- emotional and … [Read more...]
I've had five near-death experiences now. Five times I have been in the same room near the side of loved ones as they have passed from this world. Each of these deaths, in their own way, was perfect for the person whose life we were honoring as they passed into the next world. Perfect in the sense that each mirrored the person involved, seemingly made for them as if their life had molded their death just for them. It was the first two of these near-death experiences that were to play a role … [Read more...]
