Each of the seven chakras is the source of a unique wound—but how that wound shows up in health and life varies from person to person. When we are unaware of the wound, we live from the shadow of the associated chakra. But when we become conscious of the wound pattern and take action to heal it, we can access the unique gift of the same chakra. This understanding is reflected in cultures and traditions all over the world: We see archaeological structures from ancient cultures across the globe that mirror the night sky....

Exhausting, right? As a clinical psychology researcher and co-founder of a mental well-being company, I regularly see the impact of our productivity-obsessed, achievement-driven culture on mental health. And, while it sounds counterintuitive, this type of overwhelming exhaustion isn’t necessarily fixed by sleeping or lounging around. From a scientific point of view, rejuvenation—not rest—is the foundation of fighting burnout. For the most part, we’re taught to cope with burnout by doing the former: stopping everything to focus on rest....

When it comes to the former, experts recommend a French press or pour-over method since you can easily find vessels made completely of glass or stainless steel, an impossible task in the other forms of coffee creation. These methods also allow the most benefits regarding the latter: “The stainless-steel mesh filter on a French press and the basic open pour-over method allows the coffee’s natural oils to pass, which not only improves flavor but also preserves cancer-fighting polyphenols,” explains bestselling author Dave Asprey, who revolutionized the coffee world with his invention of Bulletproof lattes, which are spiked with fat for even more health benefits....

Even before that, I had what my dad, a psychologist and person keen to poke fun at me, called “Woody Allen–type neurotic tendencies.” When I was seven, I needed my stuffed animals lined up just so. I missed 42 days of school one year, sure I had strep throat, then pneumonia, then cancer. My chest was always a little bit tighter than those of my friends; I always had more “what ifs” and “whys” floating around my overactive mind....

Many women experience some degree of hair loss, but most don’t know why it’s happening or what to do about it.

The researchers also cited some cases documented by scientists in the past, including orgasms induced by stimulating one’s knees, by using one’s imagination without any physical touch at all, or even by mundane activities like brushing your teeth. Yes, really. The cases were gathered from comments anonymously left under a post on a community art site called PostSecret. According to the paper, a user described having an orgasm during a workout, which prompted nearly a thousand others to chime in with similarly nongenital and/or nonsexual orgasm experiences of their own....

Whether for ethical, health, or sustainability concerns, we respect your decision to follow this lifestyle and honestly just want to help you live your best life—which involves making sure you’re getting enough vitamin D. Given that 41% of American adults2 are insufficient in D (and 29% are straight-up deficient) per blood test results and the top sources of vitamin D are cod liver oil and beef liver (eeek), people who follow a vegan diet have to be extra intentional about their vitamin D intake....
