by Gail Allen I don’t know anybody who likes ants... let’s face it: they can quickly ruin a good picnic. If we see one in the house, it’s immediately time to call the exterminator. If you’ve ever been bitten/stung, your reaction most likely is to squash them all as soon as you see them!

By Gail Allen How are you doing with the Self Isolation and Social Distancing? Lately we've been discussing many of the ways I see people – and myself - responding.

by Danielle Schwartz Mudra is a Sanskrit word that translates as gesture or seal. A mudra is a combination of subtle physical movements that alter mood, attitude, and perception which in turn deepen awareness and concentration. Mudras can also have a profound effect on our physical bodies and their healing powers. There are 5 types of mudras: hand, head, postural, lock, and perineal. In our free online course we teach 4 different hand mudras to you.
by Gail Allen Today is one of, if not, my *most* favorite church holidays of the year. Why? You might ask. It’s just some random Thursday, right? Well, actually...no. As you might guess from the word itself, holidays typically refer to a special day within a certain religious tradition (Holy Days).
