Our Society
“Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn’t fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good.” ―Theodore J. Kaczynski
To Manage Chronic Pain, Use The Whole Toolkit, Not Just Opioids
Getting into pain management is increasingly difficult. I’ve personally been told that the wait list is 2-5 years, if not longer. I know I’m not the only one frustrated by crap like this.
The Scars From Mental Cruelty
“The scars from mental cruelty can be as deep and long-lasting as wounds from punches or slaps, but are often not as obvious. In fact, even among women who have experienced violence from a partner, half or more report that the man’s emotional abuse is what is causing them the greatest harm.” -Lundy Bancroft
Never Leave Yourself Behind
New Moon In Cancer
Tonight is a New Moon in the constellation of Cancer. There is a wonderful sparkle to this New Moon. Something feels refreshing and even inspiring. Soak in the fabulous energy. Take time to be near water such as a stream, lake, river, waterfall, rain, sea, or the ocean. If you are not able to be near a body of water; taking a nice bath with sea salts will do, too. It is helpful to attune yourself to the Cancer water element. This will refresh, renew, cleanse, and heal you.
This New Moon in Cancer speaks of new life. It encourages us to have faith in our potential alongside a deep resolve to ensure that potential is fulfilled. Just as an acorn contains the imprint of the tree it will become, we also contain our future selves in a form within us; waiting, slumbering, gestating, until the time is right to come forth into life and purpose.
In the darkness of this New Moon we are invited to dream our future selves into being. This is an intuitive Moon that has so much it wants to share and asks us to be ready to receive it. This New Moon reminds us that no matter how often we may feel the necessary changes are too great for us to implement, the fact is the change has already happened. We are already transformed, we just haven’t realized it yet. It wants us to stop striving now, to relax, be still, and recognize the deep peace within, in which our potential is coming forth. It tells us there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. At this moment, we have everything we need to be who we are meant to be. We are already complete.
The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational, and intimate feelings, recognizing the sense of security and safety we need from our homes, jobs, family, partners, and friends, and allowing ourselves to accept support and offer support to others in kind.
This New Moon you will be feeling deep and raw emotions. Your feelings reveal what you truly love and value. They are your guidance system. Your passion for life is fueled by your feelings. They nourish your creative, artistic, and intuitive abilities. In fact, having all the wealth in the world does not matter if you do not feel good. Your feelings matter. Trust your emotional instincts on this New Moon. Tap into your deepest, darkest feelings, for they will reveal who you really are and what you truly want.
Let the waters of Cancer wash over you and cleanse your spirit and soul.
Have a Blessed New Moon. May the Goddess watch over you.

Fibromyalgia May Cause Pregnancy Complications And Infertility
And yet, Fibromyalgia patients are having healthy babies every day, so I wouldn’t put all of my faith into this one article. In fact, I found it grated on me quite a bit.
