Just as you have a digestive system, an endocrine system, and more, you also have an ancient endocannabinoid system. Its role is to bring balance to your tissues, including your heart, digestive, endocrine, immune, nervous, and reproductive systems.

A strong first chakra is linked to a sense of safety, security, and well being. Do you remember the first time you were away from home and got sick? Maybe it was going off to camp or college, or on a sleepover at a friend’s home. In addition to feeling physically ill, you may have […]
