From when you should be taking your B vitamin complex to reap the benefits to the particularities of how you should be taking this vitamin, here’s everything you need to know. Some vitamins are water-soluble, while others are fat-soluble (i.e., vitamins A, D, E, and K). B vitamins are water-soluble by nature.

When others tell you to bury your feelings, it makes you question yourself and the messages your body is trying to send to you. Think about how many times today you’ve attempted to push away a painful feeling by scrolling through social media, bingeing on Netflix, or using food, alcohol, or addictive substances to avoid emotions. In a world filled with distractions and with the invalidating messages we’ve received throughout our lives about emotions, it’s easy to see why so many people are afraid of feeling....

The answer? You’re calling out to them through your energy. We attract at our common level of vibration, or frequency, which is expressed in the simplest terms as our level of self-love or self-abandonment.

This deep state of conscious rest, an ancient style of meditation that’s starting to go mainstream, is no longer reserved for ashram life or advanced yoga teacher trainings.

New release books like Yoga Nidra: The Art of Transformational Sleep, out in March, and Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation (due out this November) praise the modern benefits of yoga nidra and share practical applications of the age-old practice....

I have a journal that I take with me almost everywhere, and over the years I’ve scribbled down words that have struck a chord in my soul.

This quote highlights the importance of awe, that feeling you get when you are overwhelmed by the beauty of a mountain, the miracle of birth, or a spiritual insight. You know the feeling is a good one, but you don’t quite understand it. It’s a feeling that can bring goosebumps, tears, or feelings of euphoria.
