Through astral projection, it’s said that someone essentially wills an OBE to happen, with common anecdotal experiences including feeling a vibration as your soul leaves your body, seeing your body lay in bed, and even traveling around your home, neighborhood, and beyond. (Some people even say astral sex is possible with another person astral projecting at the same time.) Your soul never completely disconnects from your body, believed to be always connected by a “silver chord....

Keep in mind, this event—our first ever revitalize Sessions—was the first IRL event mindbodygreen has hosted since pre-COVID times. Not only did it feel great to bond over a shared passion for plant-based foods, the in-person company was invaluable. So after some networking, a Buddhist meditation by teacher Meg Monahan, and a reading by writer Christopher Rivas, we collected for a panel featuring our very own co-CEO Jason Wachob, CEO of MALK Organics Jason Bronstad, CMO of Miyoko’s Organics Rusti Porter, and nutritional practitioner Serena Poon....

Scorpio comes right after Libra as the eighth sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Scorpion. It’s a water sign ruled by the planet Pluto in modern astrology (and Mars in ancient astrology), and its modality is fixed. Scorpio is known to be deep, mysterious, and intense. As astrology expert Imani Quinn tells mbg, despite being side by side on the zodiac wheel, Libra and Scorpio aren’t typically thought of as compatible because they operate very differently....

According to Ashley Leavy, founder and educational director of the Love and Light School of Crystal Therapy, birthstones also have roots in Western astrology and Ayurveda. She explains that the National Association of Jewelers decided to standardize all the American birthstones because so many different traditions had different birthstone options for each month. Today, you’ve probably seen birthstones gifted on birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc. It became the official birthstone for May in 1912, along with the rest of the birthstones, and before that, it was also associated with Gemini and Taurus, which are both zodiac signs that fall in May....

A new study1 recently published in the journal PLOS One found that mindfulness meditation exercises altered participants’ perception of time, with time often seeming to pass more quickly than it did in reality. In the study, which had two phases, the researchers first divided participants into two groups for a week of lessons. In the first group, the participants practiced mindfulness meditation for 30 minutes each day. In the second control group, participants listened to audio recordings of poetry readings rather than learning about meditation....

In other words, when these incidents stand alone, it’s easier to move on from them relatively unscathed without it detrimentally altering your way of being or relating to others. However, when these events are strung together, we begin to form a mosaic colored with a demonstrated history of repeated, emotional wounding. “If not addressed, these subtle hurts build up over time and undermine a person’s view of their self-worth and self-esteem, in turn compromising the capacity for healthy relationships,” holistic therapist Sarah Rocha, LPC and CCTP, tells mbg....
