It hit me as I was sitting down to write this piece that it has been a while since I’ve written on a woo woo subject and I’ve missed it. Recall my last Wholly Holistics brought mainstream medicine into the mix by interviewing my friend and renowned surgeon, Dr. Gwen Choi. (I still can’t believe I missed the opportunity to entitle her interview, “Dr. Gwen: Medicine Woman.”) Today I’d like to talk on the subject of animal totems and how to use them.

Years ago, a wise spiritual teacher told me that relationships, whether family, friend or intimate, offer us humans a terrific opportunity for growth. As well as I understood his words at the time, that made sense.

As the days shorten and night temperatures begin to cool down a little, we can venture outdoors and get the fall garden work done. There are lots of things to plant in flower beds and vegetable garden and the sooner the better for those veggies.
