  • Understanding Claustrophobia: A Deep Dive into Fear

    Claustrophobia is a fear of enclosed spaces. This is not the normal anxiety that comes from being trapped someplace, like a broken-down elevator. It is an anxiety that causes your body to react in unforeseeable ways at the mere sight of an elevator. I’ve suffered from mild claustrophobia my entire life. A short while ago…

  • The Journey from Loneliness to Self-Discovery

    Loneliness. It’s an emotion that is usually associated with a negative feeling. Often times when someone says they’re lonely, it brings up feelings of sadness, maybe abandonment. Loneliness is what you feel when you feel not heard, misunderstood, or a variety of other emotions. I was living alone a little while ago, but lonely was…

  • Embracing Yule Amidst Modern Celebrations

    It is that time of year again. Time for celebrations, gifts and gathering with loved ones. This has been a conflicted time for me. Being raised in a Christian family, I remember how much I loved Christmas. The presents, the lights, having two weeks off school. But now, I find myself questioning my old beliefs.…

  • The Joys and Struggles of Family Life

    What is family? This can be a difficult question to answer for many. Many people define family as those you share a genetic ancestry with. For example, parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, etc. Others would say family is those you feel closest to. The people you want to spend more time with. For me, family are…

  • Meditating in Nature: Achieving a Natural State Anywhere

    Today as I was meditating, I received several messages. But I only plan to discuss one of them today. Nature and our bodies. Many people will say they get the most out of their meditations when they do them in a natural way. And a natural environment. If you live on acreage in a temperate…

  • Halloween Traditions: Embracing Samhain as a Druid

    Happy Halloween, or Joyous Samhain. Both are the same thing, just thought of differently. Tonight is known for candy and other treats, costumes and parties, and all manner of things spooky. The holiday was actually celebrated by the ancient Druids as a closing of the old year. It is considered the first holiday in the…

  • Angel Numbers and Finding Balance

    I have been seeing a lot of repeating numbers lately. I’ve always heard that this means your spirit guides or angels are trying to communicate with you. Depending on who you talk to or which websites you read, they can have many different meanings. So how do you know which one is the right one?…

  • Understanding Dragonfly Symbolism: Emotions and Transformation

    A while back I had a dragonfly land on my arm while I was meditating. It rested there for some time before flying off. I felt like it was looking me straight in the eye. I’m still not very awake yet and was unable to “hear” his message. Luckily, I have resources to help guide…

  • Understanding Dreams: The Symbolism of Juvenile Animals

    It’s been an interesting week. I still keep seeing young raccoons on my morning drive. And last night I head a very vivid dream involving a juvenile tiger, and groundhog. In the dream there was a facade within a building. The tiger appeared within a group of people and approached me. I was afraid it…

  • Interpreting Raccoon Sightings: Symbolism and Meaning

    This week brought a lot of raccoons into the picture. Every day on the way to work, I saw young raccoons. One or two of them were crossing the road in front of me. My instincts told me that they were trying to tell me something. Their age was important to the message. Unfortunately, there…
