Grief Trauma and AddictionJennifer Hoffman – Things may get a bit wild this week with a new moon on September 14 that engages all of the planets.

Here are seven hang-ups in particular to let go of in order to attain a state of sublime impeccability.

Every second, 4 human beings are born and every 1.8 seconds, one dies. As natural as death is, dying is the most common fear that we all share. With every loss comes the most painful emotion called grief, which can cause break ups of relationships, depression and even suicide. Over 100 million suffer from grief daily, although it is a subject not often spoken of, until now. Continue reading →
