What is the difference between love and joy? Joy.

Love often has an attachment or identification. Joy can be felt without.
For example, Joy of having Life is in itself manifested through Love.

I read a post by Snowcat on here once that was super helpful to me. I didn't understand it at the time, but the short of it was that she believes certain spirits can stay with you and choose to help you. At the same time she could tell when a spirit that was watching over her had moved on and chose...

I didn't really have a guide, more like intuition and synchronicities/directions outlined for me. It has been pretty much asking outwards and getting answers/responses in this way. Sometimes even without asking. Several openings and shifts later, I do have more of a deeper intuition, which was highl...

well done! it is a good opportunity to exercise our true freedom and power from the chains of consumerism!

I have an uncanny sense of when people aren't being honest, but I rarely call it out because I can usually tell when the dishonesty is based in issues of self worth and social structure that the person might be concerned about. No reason to hammer on people when they already feel incomplete or unst...

A couple connections - kundalini rising thru the chakras via the spine & the (-/+) polarity of telluric energy summoned thru the Stang; it's quite a jolt coming thru the body. yes, Kundalini serpents as equal forces of duality have been a recurrent and recent themes in my journey. as I was looking ...

after many years on the journey, i've learnt that names and labels are no longer accurate or efficient in describing. my simplest reference to it is The Divine or The Universe, but it also alludes to the Higher Self connection. Time and Space really works differently, once everything is viewed outsi...

Understanding, acknowledging and accepting my shadow self has been monumental in my growth. i first heard of it in late 2018, as my meditation group was approaching the lunar eclipses. this was also how i learnt that the shadow nature is very much related to the moon sign. in that period, harnessing...

Hi, I have something like this, which for many years, was about 60% Instinct and 40% Intuition. Only after several spiritual experiences and openings in my 20s, it has leaned more towards Intuition. I have learnt a lot of it is from Higher Self guiding - happening mostly at the beginning with synchr...

Great Idea!!

I love a soap ball, than a bar - it feels more organic to use in the shower.

With an added stone set as intention, it should feel even better.

Thanks, FF!

Fantastic idea, and also you get a keepsake crystal after the bar is done!

Shame I am not in the US!

It was a small back alley that my indian colleague brought us to, and we were also in a smaller city, not a major one like Delhi or Mumbai, so the shop was tiny with about 3 artisans in the back. I did ask him if it was normal pricing, and he shared that these are the prices so locals can afford the...

I was in India recently, and was being brought to some textile shops. I was fast losing interest, when my colleague who was bringing us around asked if we would like to look at some stones and gems. 5 mins later, I was studying and trying to find vibrational matches with a few hundred stones. Eventu...

I think it's good to enjoy yourself with the freedom to explore who you are. Try to not be faked-out by the temporary glamour of "special" talents nor to be freaked out by seemingly spooky talents if you can help it. This is such valuable advice for anyone just coming into his or her own. Especiall...

Hi Storm, there is quite a few layers to what you are describing. - making a living ($$$) - dealing with the issues of others - dealing with own issues - frustration of having outside perception projected onto your gift I would gently advise coming into acceptance of who you are - if you are an empa...
