Beneath Candice Kumai’s polished image as a wellness icon, she was tormented by anxiety, competitiveness and deep inner suffering. It wasn’t until she re-embraced the Buddhist principles she’d been taught in childhood that she began to change her life for the better—even making a pilgrimage to her mother’s home country of Japan to study in the mountains with Buddhist monks. Full of wisdom and raw honesty, Spirited recounts her journey and shares the Buddhist practices that transformed her life so you can, too.

In this eye-opening six-part series, Dr. Franziska Kohlt looks at the concept of dreams through the lens of the stories that feature them. You’ll visit the enchanted slumbering land of Sleeping Beauty and the dark and mysterious realm of The Sandman. You’ll explore the ironic dreaming devices of Slaughterhouse-Five; the trippy, fantastical world of Alice in Wonderland; and many more on the quest to deconstruct the symbolism and intent of the dreams that are part of the narrative—or even, in some cases, that are characters in the narrative.

"Je suis passionnée par les mythes, car ce sont à mes yeux des histoires canons, dont les symboles continuent d'agir sur nous. Et dans nos traditions mythologiques, un motif en particulier me fascine, c'est la descente volontaire d'un héros ou d'une héroïne dans un monde souterrain invisible aux mortels, par exemple le monde des Enfers dans les épopées grecques, ou l'Enfer chrétien. C'est toujours une initiation afin d'acquérir un savoir, un pouvoir, une guérison, une quête à la recherche d'une âme, ou encore pour une transformation personnelle."

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio energies are often misunderstood because of their depth and intensity. Scorpio is a fixed water sign that holds in it the power of creation and destruction. It is the deepest of your inner waters, and within it lives your capacity to hold grudges, to forgive, to experience the transformational power of love, grief and passion. These feelings can be overwhelming at times, but are a powerful part of who you are.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Cancer. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer's energies are deeply emotional and vulnerable.

This meditation will explore these energies, helping you to make room for and release whatever comes up without judgment.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign represented by the archer’s bow—forever seeking and yearning.

This is a mediation for bringing yourself and a relationship back into balance by returning both your and their energies to where they belong, so each person can be in greater harmony and alignment.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Aquarius. Aquarian energy connects us to possibility. It is a fixed air sign that governs the parts of you that feel both detached from others and connected to the community of our shared humanity. Because these energies can be heady and erratic, they can get fixed on the future, pulling your focus away from the here and now. This meditation will remind you that this is the only moment that requires stewardship. Use this meditation to get centered in the present moment.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a highly analytic and discerning mutable earth sign. While analysis is incredibly valuable, it can lead to perfectionism, which can stand in the way of presence and progress. Part of the magic of Virgoian energies is found in ritual and embodiment. Embodied knowledge is awareness that is not just accessed through the mind, but is integrated through the heart and lives within your body. This form of awareness empowers you not just to know something, but to live in alignment with it.
