Grounding Practices for 2020
2020 is off with a bang! There is a lot going on with worldly events, in addition to astrologically and energetically, and mostly everyone I’ve spoken to is feeling it one way or another (including me)! January is also known as a melancholy month, be it the weather or the back-to-the-grind feeling after the holidays, which make you just want to hibernate.
