Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

Nothing beats gravy and mash potato.

Light moves up through the sushumna (our central spinal channel) in a continuous wave, but also as a pulse, lighting up each chakra as it goes. This means the chakras exist both on a spectrum and also asContinue reading “A particle and a wave! Why the light “principle of complementarity” supports 2 in 1 chakra work”
