News from Nirvana 

The inner changes we have been experiencing at this time are beginning to project themselves as big shifts in our lives. These shifts can occur in areas such as career, location, personal growth, home, relationships, children, and among other areas. 

When we consciously step into our authentic self, we empower and inspire another to step into their true authentic selves.

The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others right now is to come from that genuine true divine self as often as possible.

The Hidden Magic in Joshua Tree 

Deep in the desert, searching for enlightenment at a spot that’s filled with Joshua trees. This area, we love its name, monzogranite rock formations and the triad of cholla, cactus and prickly pear that prick my legs, it feels like acupuncture. 

Joshua Tree National Park, we have become so amazed of these wondrous surroundings,  also appreciating the floral delights.  

In this particular portion of southeastern California Joshua Tree became a national park in 1994, and that is named for the yucca trees native to the park. It’ll tell you that Joshua Tree’s grow quickly and that you could eat the buds. But here’s what I’ll tell you: the name ‘Joshua’ was decided on by Mormons who thought that the tree’s natural form mimicked that of Joshua praying to the sky in an episode of the Bible, and that the sun sets on the rocks just right and that you can get great tacos in the small town right before you drive in. I’ll tell you that there’s a candy store in town and that you can freely camp and cook and wake up to snow in the desert. We can tell you this, because it’s real: the hidden gem of Joshua Tree is  something you have to experience to believe.

Amla Oil: Miracle Oil 

Amla, known as miracle oil since ages and for its goodness in terms of hair growth. Amla or aka Indian gooseberries is a fruit that has been used in many recipes and  known to be effective for hair loss treatment, scalp related issues, and promotes hair growth, massaging the scalp is a way to increase blood circulation and massaging the hair with amla oil does that more effectively. Apart from that amla oil helps in opening up the pores allowing the scalp to produce natural oils. You can learn how to give yourself a scalp massage. 

Do you wonder how it’s made? Amla Oil, is made traditionally by immersing amla fruit in oil. Coconut oil, sesame oil or mineral oil. After soaking for few days, experience the oil,  after removing the fruit and purifying the oil. 

How to make amla oil with amla powder?
You will need:

2 teaspoons amla powder.

5 tablespoons coconut oil (or any other oils you wish)

Combine amla powder and coconut oil in a stainless-steel pan. Place the pan on the lowest heat setting and occasionally keep stirring. When it starts to bubble, cook for another minute, then turn off the heat, cover the pan, and then when ready you can strain it into an amla bottle of your choice and apply.  

It makes a good hair potion! love, #krishna  

Autism Speaks 

Landmarks around the globe were illuminated with blue lights in recognition of the annual World Autism Awareness Day.

The “Light It Up Blue” campaign, organized by Autism Speaks, began several years ago as a means to raise awareness about the prevalence of autism and to encourage autism-friendly events. 

The month of April is National Autism Awareness Month. 

Together, we celebrate the many ways individuals with ASDs enhance our daily lives and make priceless contributions to our schools, work places and communities. 

Being an ABA Therapist for many years now it’s always rewarding to see how much the kiddos grow. On a practical level, the principles and methods of behavior analysis have helped many different kinds of learners acquire many different skills – from healthier lifestyles to the mastery of a new language. 

Since the 1960s, therapists have been applying behavior analysis to help children with autism and related developmental disorders. This is exactly what our line of work is, Behavior analysis focuses on the principles that explain how learning takes place. Positive reinforcement is one principle. When a behavior is followed by some sort of reward, the behavior is more likely to be repeated. Through decades of research, the field of behavior analysis has developed many techniques for increasing useful behaviors and reducing those that may cause harm or interfere with learning.

Today, ABA is widely recognized as a safe and effective treatment for autism. It has been endorsed by a number of state and federal agencies. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the use of techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. These techniques can be used in structured situations such as a classroom lesson as well as in “everyday” situations such as family dinnertime or the neighborhood playground. 

ABA techniques can produce improvements in communication, social relationships, play, self care, school and employment. These studies involved age groups ranging from preschoolers to adults. Results for all age groups showed that ABA increased participation in family and community activities. 

We are happy to be a part of the ABA intervention, along with the both annual World Autism Day and #AutismSpeaks 

We here @intuitivemagazine will be Lighting it up #blue every year! 

Gemstones and Crystals to Create Positive Relationships 

Gemstones and Crystals can be used to create positive relationships. Building strong and positive relationships is a major component for happy living. Because of the variety of personality traits and human emotions within each other, this is not the easiest to do. To keep in mind the feelings and wishes of others, and to be self-aware of how you treat and react towards others.

By being mindful of your relationship and your role in it, you may find some qualities within yourself, or the relationship, that you wish to strengthen, develop, or change in order to keep the relationship healthy, happy, and strong. 

Stones and crystals can be of service in accomplishing this as their energies can help to enhance certain relationship qualities. They can help you to bring harmony, nourish love, work through conflicts, and transmute negative factors into positive ones.


Gemstones and Crystals can be of assistance for every relationship. There are many kinds of relationships, such as those between lovers, family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, or community, group members. All are vital to your own health, happiness and spiritual growth.  

Love is the main ingredient to any relationship. To strengthen, develop, or change in order to keep the relationship happy, healthy, and strong, Crystals and Quartz can be of aid in accomplishing this as their energies can help you to enhance certain relationship qualities. 

When you love yourself, your heart becomes receptive to love, and the way is open to attracting a soulmate, restoring a broken friendship, nurturing a new relationship, improving your ability to communicate and socialize with everyone around you and that will develop and strengthen those qualities needed to build a relationship such as understanding, warmth, kindness, compassion, appreciation, acceptance, forgiveness, gentleness, caring and intimacy. Each facet of love can develop by practicing it in your daily life. 

Here are a couple of our Gemstone  and Crystal suggestions 

Rose Quartz for Self Love

Amazonite for Trust

Chrysocolla for Tolerance
