FROM THE EDITOR

Spirituality & Health Magazine

Lauren Briére • We spoke with Lauren Briére about finding beauty in the mundane, embracing magical moments, and the many ways art can bring us comfort.

I GAVE UP RELIGION AND NOW FEEL GOD EVERYWHERE… WHY? • ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR THE SPIRITUAL TRAVELER

THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING

CONNECTIONS

AWARENESS + COURAGE = SOVEREIGNTY • EMMA SEPPÄLÄ, PHD, shows how to recognize our “imprints”—and clear them—to achieve mental sovereignty.

TO SEE THROUGH AN IMPRINT, LOOK TO THE SKY

KETAMINE THERAPY AND THE ROAD TO INNER PEACE • Therapist SEAN LAWLOR finds that many therapeutic techniques and psychiatric medications designed to treat anxiety offer little beyond the mild suppression of symptoms—and many people remain inescapably forlorn. He suggests ketamine-assisted therapy, the only legal psychedelic treatment at this time.

IMAGINE A PEACEFUL GARDEN FLOURISHES IN THE CENTER OF YOUR MIND …

THE SECRET OF A FINE DIY PROJECT? DO IT TOGETHER! • TEAL ROWE recounts the story of replacing the radiator on Peggy La Cerra’s old Miata.

Prosthetic Heart

The First Horoscope Computer • In 1900, Greek sponge divers working off the island of Antikythera found the remains of a large ancient cargo vessel. The latest coins found in the wreck tell us it must have gone down around 67 BCE, when the Roman Republic under Pompey the Great was sweeping the eastern Mediterranean clean of pirates. Spilled out on the sloping seabed were bronze and marble statues, presumably destined to ornament Roman temples and gardens as plunder from a successful military campaign.

MICROBES! Why Am I Here? • An Earth-Indigenous Elder Story is a “hero’s journey” to answer the Big Questions from the beginning of time. For me, the new exercise began like grabbing old snapshots as a tornado tore through. Then connections emerged, the story took on a life of its own, and I found an answer—to everything!

THE INNER LIFE OF AI BOTS • WHAT THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS MEANS TO OUR FUTURE

WHY AI CHANGED SO SUDDENLY

HOW TO CHAT WITH A BOT:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HUMAN AND AI DECISIONS

6 Steps Toward Gandhi

GANDHI’S 6 MORAL PRINCIPLES

THINK YOU’RE TOO SENSITIVE TO FIND YOUR CALLING?

Animal Chaplaincy Training from Compassion Consortium

The Haden Institute

Conscious Dying Collective

Divya Chandegra (Chit Ltd)

HEART TO HEART CONVERSATION • Every moment gives us infinite opportunities to create meaningful conversations, the kind that can uplift and inspire. Whether it’s talking face to face or through various digital platforms, we can leave a little part of ourselves in each encounter. Initiating conversations with others, especially those we don’t know—neighbors, customers, new coworkers—starts by recognizing our sameness and building from there. Taking time to talk to others then becomes its own nourishing practice, one that lifts our heart, as well as those around us, wherever we go!

REVIEWS books // music // film

JOY OF TEXTS • GUEST COLUMNIST REV. JACQUIE FERNANDEZ, MDIV

BORDER CROSSING • THE HEART OF HAPPINESS

PONDERING STAR WHALES & OTHER WONDROUS BEASTS • CREATURELY REFLECTIONS

ONE MORE THING
