A mythical era talked about by astrologers that follows the Piscean Age, a time where life was based on hierarchical structures in the shape of a pyramid: one person at the top in a family, company, government, or religious sect. While the pyramid structure provides stability, its susceptible to rigidity and limitation of individual freedom and responsibility. In contrast, the Age of Aquarius is believed to be about the flattening of the pyramid where individuals assume more power and gender roles change in an increasingly egalitarian world. Some believe this age has already begun, pointing to things like social media and the rise of female entrepreneurship as markers that we are. Let's hope they're right.

Not a location at the local public library. "Akasha" is sanskrit for "primary substance." So, think of the Akashic Records as a kind of dewey decimal system, the Google database, which houses the record of every person (including you) that's ever inhabited this tiny blue dot and their life's journey. Yeah, we know. That's a lot. But, the good news is, with the support of an Akashic reader, you can consult this eternal wisdom and gain valuable insights into career, love, health, relationships, and purpose.

A mentor or guide that helps you create and reach goals. The coach's role is not to give advice, but to facilitate your ability to connect with your innate wisdom. The line between a coach and a therapist can be a blurry one. However, one key distinction is that working with a coach focuses on action, while working with a therapist is more about insight. Like teachers, there's many different types of coaches — executive coaches, leadership coaches, business coaches, spiritual coaches, and relationship coaches to name a few.

A practice first originating in Hindu spiritual traditions for cultivation of attention, awareness, and focus of the mind. Academics have struggled to define the practice, which generally involves either passive observation of the mind (known as Vipassana or insight meditation) or active focus of the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity (mantra, transcendental, guided or loving kindness meditation).

Also called sound meditation or sound therapy, this increasingly popular relaxation technique is where participants 'bathe' in a range of different sound waves produced by instruments including chimes, bells, gongs, singing bowls, and the human voice to name a few.

A theta state occurs at the border between the conscious and unconscious worlds—that fascinating, colorful place in between sleep and waking life.

It's an area of the mind that can have profound influence on our attitudes and behavior, especially towards ourself.  In a theta healing, practitioner and client enter a theta state, and once there, they work together to identify memories, beliefs, or sensations that are no longer beneficial to the client and to clear them.
