ARCHEOLOGISTS have developed solid facts about the ancestral people and structures at Mesa Verde, including timelines created from a variety of different kinds of data. For example, dendrochronology (tree ring dating) can tell us when a tree was cut down and when the last tree was cut down. The rings can also tell us something about the years the tree was alive: Very little gap between the rings means little growth due to a lack of water, while large gaps between the rings indicate wet years. Notice, however, that tree rings cannot tell us when a cut tree was used. Such dates can be hazy because ancestral people recycled trees not just from earlier times but from other sites.
Other dating methods, like archaeomagnetism, provide additional clues. Archaeomagnetism involves taking samples from a fire hearth. The base of the hearth has a sandy bottom, and within the sand is iron. During a fire, the glowing coal base places the iron particles into a “floating” state. As the sand cools, those particles tend to align toward magnetic north. If the hearth has not been disturbed, the dating method can show when the last fire occurred, hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Let's Not Limit Nature- According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, nature is first defined as "the external world in its entirety," with etymological roots from multiple cultures and originating meanings
The ancient Greeks had no word for art. Many indigenous people have no word for religion. Art and religion were inherent to human life until outsiders needed to critique and study these concepts-so they named them. The legacy of the word nature is similar. We speak about nature as if we are separate from itas if, like a starkly delineated shadow on a sidewalk, you can stand with one foot in nature and one foot outside of it.
Recognizing and Tuning Into Medical Intuition- How one woman learned to trust her instincts and heal her body
How one woman learned to trust her instincts and heal her body. According to Wendie Colter, founder of The Practical Path (a trademarked intuitive development program for health professionals) and author of Essentials of Medical Intuition: A Visionary Path to Wellness, intuition permeates every aspect of our lives. Some call it a gut instinct. Others call it a hunch. Still others receive messages from their higher self. But whatever the name, that sense of knowing, feeling, or sensing can guide us toward healing.
The Neuroscience of Getting What You Want - Manifesting is a process whereby you utilize the power within yourself to have an intention occur that ultimately is not pure self-interest,"
Manifesting is a process whereby you utilize the power within yourself to have an intention occur that ultimately is not pure self-interest," .What it takes to hit all your goals is a fierce dedication to your quest over time and that means sinking your goals so deep into your subconscious that your conscious mind automatically tracks paths to take you to those goals like a bloodhound on the scent of synchronicities.
TIME TO TAKE THE RISK
We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.-Hildegard of Bingen, 12th-century Benedictine mystic, medical practitioner, writer, and composer

Over the MOON About Helping Animals (and Their People)
Since I was a child, I've had a ritual: Every night, I go outside and search the sky for the moon and stars. I marvel at the magnificence of a dark, crisp, clear, midnight blue sky and its symphony of constellations, occasional meteors, and the glorious moon herself-each illuminating the vastness. This simple practice always gives me the deepest peace and centeredness. It aligns my internal compass every night before bed.
ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVES: AMANDLA STENBERG CHANNELS 'THE FORCE'

Unlikely Lightworkers from Liverpool
The Beatles were more than musical masters-they were spiritual pioneers.
ANTI-RACISM IS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
GROWING UP in very charismatic and evangelical Christian spaces, I was told that the Devil's greatest trick was convincing us that he didn't exist. I feel a similar vibe when it comes to the big three systems of oppression-capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy-in New Thought and other spiritual spaces. These systems managed to convince some of us that they don't exist, we are immune from them, talking about them isn't helpful, or we will overcome them just by doing our spiritual practices.
