Beliefs can create or prevent. Earthing is healing. Where do you pour your daily cup of energy? The positive energy of prayer. The negative energy of stress. Truth reduces stress. Childhood traumas then, affect our reactions today. The mind can make the body sick - it can also make it heal. Wishing illness to feel cared for. Living in joy to honor loved ones who have passed. RGF Bonus: @poojanayyar gives @undergaro and @thekelseymeyer a play by play from her recent Indian family wedding.
