The Energy of a Changing World: Truth, Awareness, and the Dismantling of Old Systems

  The Energy of a Changing World: Truth, Awareness, and the Dismantling of Old Systems By Julie Hines Something feels different right now. You can sense it in conversations, in the media, in the way people question things they once accepted without a second thought. Around the world, individuals are waking up — not in a dramatic movie-style moment — but in small realizations that stack together. A quiet shift in awareness. A change in energy. For a long time, society operated on trust in structures: governments, institutions, industries, even social expectations about success, work, and identity. These systems were built for stability. And for many years, they worked — or at least appeared to. But stability and truth are not always the same thing. The Rising Awareness We are living in the most information-rich time in human history. Knowledge is no longer filtered through a few gatekeepers. People compare sources, question narratives, and share personal experiences instantly. This ...

The Importance of Spiritual Self-Care for Women

The Importance of Spiritual Self-Care for Women By Julie Hines, RMT, BMsc In a world where women are expected to wear countless hats—mother, partner, friend, professional, caregiver—it’s easy to forget the most important relationship of all: the one with ourselves. Spiritual self-care is more than just a buzzword; it’s a lifeline. It’s the soul’s way of whispering, "Come back to me." What Is Spiritual Self-Care? Spiritual self-care is the intentional practice of nourishing your inner world. It goes beyond bubble baths and yoga sessions (though those are wonderful too!) and dives deeper into connection—connection with your higher self, your intuition, and the divine energy that flows through all things. It's about listening to your inner voice, honoring your sacred truth, and making space for stillness and reflection. Why Women Need It Now More Than Ever Women are natural nurturers, but often we nurture everyone but ourselves. We carry the weight of expectations, emotional...

We Can Only Help Others as Far as We've Helped Ourselves

We Can Only Help Others as Far as We've Helped Ourselves By Julie Hines There’s a saying that goes, " You can't pour from an empty cup . "But in the world of healing, coaching, and even just being a supportive friend or family member, there’s another layer: You can only guide people as far as you’ve gone yourself. That’s not meant to be discouraging—it’s a reminder of the power and importance of inner work. Why It's So Important to Do Your Own Inner Healing Whether it’s childhood trauma, relationship wounds, abandonment, rejection, or unresolved emotional pain— these unhealed parts of us quietly shape how we show up in the world. They influence how we speak, how we connect, how we react, and how we help others. If we haven't looked at our own pain with honesty and compassion, we’re likely to: - Project our wounds onto others   - Give advice from a place of fear rather than truth   - Avoid deeper conversations because they mirror our own suppressed pain   - ...

So Afraid of Dying, We Forget to Live

"So Afraid of Dying, We Forget to Live" Isn’t it strange how so many people are afraid of dying… yet they’re not really living? It’s a bit of a contradiction. The fear of death is really about the fear of not living . And yet, that fear often holds us back from doing exactly what we’re here to do— live . We get stuck in routines, worry about the future, and put off things that bring us joy. We play it safe, thinking we’re protecting ourselves. But what we’re really doing is missing out. Day by day, we slowly lose the spark of being truly alive. And for what? If we're constantly thinking about death, we’re not actually living. It's a pointless anxiety, because the one thing we all know for sure is that life will eventually end. The real question is: What are we doing with the time we’ve got? So how do we turn it around? Feel the fear, but don’t let it control you. It’s okay to be afraid sometimes. Just don’t let it stop you from living. Say yes more. Say yes to ...

Bringing Joy to the World: Embracing Gratitude and Beauty

  Bringing Joy to the World: Embracing Gratitude and Beauty In a world that often pulls our focus toward chaos and negativity, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But what if we chose to shift our perspective? What if we stopped centering our lives around our own discomforts and instead aligned ourselves with something greater—something divine? Becoming Spirit-centered rather than self-centered invites us to live in harmony with life’s inherent beauty and embrace a profound sense of gratitude.   One powerful way to transform our mindset is to look for joy in the everyday and appreciate the gifts life offers, even during its most challenging moments.   Winter as a Metaphor for Beauty and Tranquility Take winter, for example. Many people dread its arrival, lamenting the cold, the inconvenience of snow, and the shorter days. But winter holds an undeniable magic if we’re willing to see it.   Picture this: snow gently falling, blanketing the world in a quiet hus...

Remembrance Day: Honoring Service, Sacrifice, and Peace

Remembrance Day: Honoring Service, Sacrifice, and Peace Every November 11th, we gather to honor those who have served and sacrificed in times of war. Originally known as Armistice Day, this day marks the end of World War I in 1918. Today, Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the courage and resilience of all veterans and service members, as well as those who gave their lives in the pursuit of freedom and peace. By wearing a poppy and observing moments of silence, we pay tribute to their bravery and express our gratitude for the peace their sacrifices have helped protect. This day also reminds us of the importance of unity, compassion, and the ongoing pursuit of peace.  In remembering their legacy, we renew our commitment to honor and cherish the freedom they fought to preserve.  Julie Hines
