The art and practice of living a soul-inspired life.
This angel is on the door of a Russian Orthodox church in my neighborhood. For many cultures, angels (in all their forms), are considered to be invisible protectors. I have passed by this church many times, never noticing the angels on its doors. Then, as divine timing would have it, while on a walk to […]
Is it possible, that burnout is much more than a state of collapse? As vitalistic practitioners know, any “dis-ease” is indicative of the misalignment of one’s vitality – aka the vital force.
