The Moon’s Cycles & How They Influence Our Energy
The Moon is more than just a celestial body lighting up our night sky. For thousands of years, people across cultures have looked to the Moon as a guide — for planting crops, setting rituals, or marking time. But the Moon doesn’t just move the tides — it subtly moves us too. Because we are around 70% water, the lunar pull can affect our emotions, sleep, creativity, and even our sense of balance. By aligning with the Moon’s natural rhythm, we can live more harmoniously, using each phase to nurture our body, mind, and spirit. 🌑 The Four Primary Moon Phases & Your Energy New Moon – A Time to…

The Frequency of the Liver: How Sound Can Bring You Back Into Balance
Everything in life is energy. Every organ, every cell in your body, carries its own natural vibration—like an instrument in a vast orchestra. When the music flows in harmony, you feel well. When one part of the body falls out of tune, imbalance—what we often call dis-ease—can appear. The liver is one of the most important “players” in this orchestra. It filters toxins, stores blood, balances hormones, and processes emotions. When the liver is vibrating in balance, we feel clearer, lighter, and more at ease. But when its vibration is disturbed, both physical and emotional challenges can surface. The Liver’s Natural Vibration Research in vibrational medicine shows that a healthy…

Lions Gate Portal 8th of the 8th
The Lion’s Gate Portal is most widely recognised in the Northern Hemisphere, where it coincides with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius—when Sirius becomes visible just before dawn, rising alongside the Sun in the sign of Leo. This alignment was deeply significant in ancient Egypt, marking the New Year and the fertile flooding of the Nile. Energetically, this portal is believed to open a gateway for higher consciousness, inner strength, and accelerated manifestation. The number eight symbolises infinity, balance, and personal power, and the repeating date of 8/8 adds to the spiritual potency of this time. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, we don’t experience the rising of Sirius in…

The Story Behind the Stars – Matariki
The Story Behind the Stars According to Māori pūrākau (traditional storytelling), the world was once cloaked in darkness. Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) were bound in a tight, loving embrace. Their children — the gods of the natural world — were trapped between them, cramped and unable to move or grow. One by one, the children discussed how they could bring light into the world. Most agreed that their parents needed to be separated. Only Tāwhirimātea, the god of wind and weather, disagreed — he was devastated by the idea of his parents being forced apart. Despite his protest, his brother Tāne Mahuta (god of the forest) pushed…

Embracing the Midwinter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere: History, Traditions, and Celebration Ideas
What Happens During the Midwinter Solstice? The midwinter solstice, commonly known as the winter solstice, marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. This event typically occurs around June 20th or 21st. The winter solstice happens when one of Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

The Earth’s axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing the South Pole to tilt away from the Sun. Historical…
