It's not all "love & light": Yin Yang & embracing our shadows

Hello, beautiful beings! Today, we have the Full Moon in Pisces AND a lunar eclipse 🌕 As we step into this eclipse portal (the 2 week window between eclipses) it seems like a perfect time to ponder the interplay of Yin and Yang, dark and light. How do we embrace our shadows and depths within a culture that rewards the dynamic, bright, shiny, active and productive? How do we make space for Yin in a world that reveres the Yang? It's not all love and light While I’ll be the first to encourage...

As a scapegoat for whatever is out of balance or calling out for healing. Maybe it's not...

Dr Maz Balanced Natural Health Podcast

Hello, beautiful beings! Happy Full Moon in Scorpio 🌕 I recently came across this beautiful quote from the great Carl Jung, and it was a big piece of the inspiration behind this moon's podcast episode: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Isn't that just a beautiful perspective?? In Chinese Medicine, we have a similar idea: that our essence (our connection to our ancestors and the Earth) and our spirit (our connection to the Heavens, the Universe or the zero-point...
