Stress creeps into our lives unannounced. Sometimes it shows up as racing thoughts, tension in the shoulders, irritability, fatigue, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything we think we need to do.

The Crown Chakra is our energy center connected to unity, collective consciousness, and what I call the infinite, abundant everything—or the sense that life is part of something greater than the individual self. It represents awareness beyond ego (beyond personal identity) and invites us into a relationship with meaning, deep trust, and purpose.

Living without a television wasn’t easy at first. I found myself bored, almost restless, as my mind and body began to recalibrate to all of the open space that suddenly existed. I didn’t quite know what to do with it. Thank goodness I knew about energy. Instead of directing it toward the television (tell-a-vision), endless phone tasks, or social media, I began directing it toward myself, my own visions, dreams, and desires.
