So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. The Books of the Bible Warnings from Israel’s History 1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters,a that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness. 6 Now these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. 7 Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.” 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. 10 And do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall. 13 No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. 14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? Do All to the Glory of God 23 “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 24 Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other. 25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience, 26 for “the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.” 27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— 29 I mean the other’s conscience, not your own. For why should my liberty be subject to the judgment of someone else’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why should I be denounced because of that for which I give thanks? 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved.

Is it just me or do you have the urge to get rid of everything you own? No? Well, maybe you haven’t watched an episode of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and realized the amount of excess clothing you have in your closet. If you piled every single item of clothing onto your bed, what would that mountain look like? Spring has sprung and with a change in seasons comes the opportunity to freshen up a bit! I’m opening the windows and letting in the light and cool morning air. This time of the year for me usually includes many trips to the donation center, which ultimately is not an ideal situation either. Where do you think all of our piles of unwanted clothing end up? A small amount might make its way overseas but most of it just goes into a landfill, according to the EPA. But I digress, that's a blog post for another day. If you’re like me, you probably own way too many clothes. If your sock drawer is out of control, full of things you no longer wear and can barely close, this message is for you. I’ll even admit that I have a drawer full of leggings and I only wear my favorite few consistently. What about your closet? Can you even see everything you own? If “I’m going to wear that again somewhere” hasn’t happened in the past two or even five years, you probably don’t need that outfit. A friend gifted me the book, Spark Joy and if you’ve watched Tidying Up, know that it is the actual manual for decluttering. If you’re interested in learning how to live with less clutter I highly recommend it! It can be difficult to get rid of clothing you’ve spent money on or things you’ve been carrying for years. It’s all about learning how to thank the item for the joy it gave you and then simply letting go! Another area that could stand for some decluttering in my home are my beauty products. Skincare is my weakness and I have accumulated more facewash than I have a face for. A tip I’ve learned over time is simply to stop buying what is not needed. I have a do-not-buy list, just like a grocery list. Items on the DNB list are lotions of any sort, nail polish, face masks, chapsticks, sports bras, leggings, pajama sets, coffee mugs, notebooks/journals, candles, etc. (the list goes on.) All of these things I already have a lifetime supply of. I can’t believe how often I used to buy new nail polish simply because I liked the color. I mean... how many shades of pink nail polish does one person need! What thing are you a sucker for when you see it in store? How many of your purchases are because you saw something “cute” or on sale. I no longer allow myself to go into a store and let them tell me what I need. I would walk through every aisle of Homegoods as if it were some sort of treasure hunt. If I even go to a store these days I’m in and out, and only for what I need. When I first applied the revolutionary thought process of ‘I have everything I need’, walking out of Target without a haul of items felt awkward. Like I was forgetting something, simply because I hadn’t purchased anything! I would stand and think before leaving, what can I buy. And eventually, I went less and less because it turns out I didn’t need anything. What used to be a weekly outing, sometimes more, has become just a few times a season if I have an actual reason for being there. Try practicing this the next time you’re at the store you love to frequent, or maybe while you’re shopping online late at night. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying don’t treat yourself. I’m all for that, but let’s use what we have first. Sort through your closet and see what you actually love and are using. The rest is ready to go! Before you purchase that adorable new product advertised to you online or that stylish boutique in your inbox telling you not to miss out on a deal, unsubscribe from their mailing lists and rid yourself of the temptation for a while. What’s on your do-not-buy list?

Sound healing uses sound frequencies to harmonize and balance the frequencies within the body, which creates an atmosphere for healing and produces relaxation. Sound healing is often done with Tibetan singing bowls and tuning forks that emit pure frequencies. It is believed that sound healing works by affecting the subtle or energetic body. We are all familiar with the physical body, but all of our life experiences and karma are held in the energetic body, which is invisible. The physical body is a reflection or a physical manifestation of our spiritual selves. As we heal our energetic or spiritual aspects, the physical body reflects that. We view our physical reflection, our bodies, as either sick or in a state of health, but what we see and feel in our bodies is ultimately based upon on the state of our spirit. Sound healing taps into the energetic frequencies that we cannot see to affect this energetic body and produce an increased state of harmony and health in the physical body. You can tune the body with just one tuning fork or sound bowl, over a particular area of the body, or by listening to specific frequencies.

Sanskrit Name: Anahata English Translation: Unstruck Color: Green Rules Over: Love & Relationships Body Parts: Heart, lungs, arms, hands Postures: Urdhva Mukha Svanasana Urdhva Dhanurasana Information: The heart chakra is the center of the body and of the chakra system, and thus affects every other part of the body, mind, and spirit. Because this chakra rules over the heart and lungs, it is the seat of prana, or breath, which keeps us alive. This chakra begins to take us out of survival and personal willpower and extends the love we have generated toward ourselves into our relationship with others, both those traditionally close to us and even strangers. Imbalance here can lead to poor circulation, emotional coldness and coldness in the extremities, and self-centeredness. Balance here can create openness to new people and experiences, generosity, gratitude, and empathy. Chakras At-A-Glance
