Had Lori not been engulfed by the often-ambiguous nature of texting, as well as her own insecurities and taken notice instead of the seed stalks that cradled the sun... they could have supported her as she walked towards Austin. Lacking that support, she braced herself against the knots in her stomach and the tightness in her chest as she sank deeper into her wayward imagination. ... No longer a captive of a mindless, senseless story, she returned to her true self. Lori now stood firmly in the present moment where she found herself able to give herself wholly to the healing influence of nature and a steadfast wholesome man.

Temporomandibular Disease, commonly known as TMD, is one of the most frequent and misunderstood oral health conditions linked to stress. Muscle hyperactivity, clenching, grinding, and emotional or physical stressors can disrupt the delicate balance of the jaw joint, leading to pain, stiffness, clicking, and referred symptoms such as headaches, earaches, or neck discomfort. The good news is that most TMD cases respond well to conservative, non-invasive care focused on stress reduction, habit awareness, muscle relaxation, and proper jaw support. With early diagnosis and the right treatment approach, long term relief is both achievable and predictable.
Root canals are one of the most misunderstood procedures in dentistry. When performed with proper sterile isolation and sealed with a high quality final restoration, a root canal does not cause systemic illness. Most failures stem from improper technique, poor isolation, or inadequate restoration, not from the procedure itself. Modern biologic and regenerative dentistry focuses on saving natural teeth whenever possible, using advanced disinfection, regenerative therapies, and evidence based protocols to restore long term oral and overall health.
Welcome to the February–March Winter and Relationships Issue, our first issue of 2026 and the beginning of Creations Magazine’s 40th year. As we celebrate this milestone, Creations enters a new chapter, energized through our partnership with Wave Agency and supported by an expanded digital presence, new events, and evolving opportunities for our readers and partners. This issue centers on relationships, beginning with the most important one of all, the relationship you have with yourself. When self love becomes the foundation, connection deepens, resilience grows, and every relationship benefits.
Many people abandon their deepest dreams simply because they do not know how to achieve them. Conditioned to rely on facts, statistics, and visible resources, we often settle for predictability rather than trusting in possibility. This reflection invites a different approach, one rooted in acceptance of the present moment while remaining open to divine guidance, love, and unseen support. When you stop talking yourself out of what you desire and allow hope, appreciation, and openness to guide you, you reconnect with a limitless source of creativity, healing, and grace that knows no boundaries.
The space between relationships, though often painful and disorienting, can be one of the most meaningful periods of personal growth. Every relationship has a purpose and a lesson, regardless of its length or outcome. By resisting the urge to rush forward or assign blame, and instead reflecting with gratitude and openness, we allow deeper understanding and healing to occur. When we honor the lessons and gifts of past relationships, our hearts open more fully, preparing us for healthier, more conscious connections in the future.
What if one simple, universal skill could significantly improve your wellness, strengthen relationships, reduce stress, and support both mental and physical health? This Wellness Quiz invites readers to consider a powerful yet often overlooked human trait that requires no cost, no medication, and no lifestyle overhaul. Backed by decades of research and explored through a series of thought provoking clues, this quiz highlights a natural ability present in everyone, one that can be developed, refined, and used to enhance happiness, connection, and overall well being.
Humor, when used with awareness and intention, is a powerful pathway to physical, social, and mental health. Modern research shows that warm, inclusive humor reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, relaxes muscles, and supports emotional well being, while also strengthening relationships and social connection. Today’s shift toward kindness, sensitivity, and authenticity in humor reflects a deeper understanding of its role in human health. You can be funny without offending, and when humor is guided by empathy and awareness, it becomes one of the most effective tools for personal wellness and social success.
After witnessing more than five hundred deaths in the ICU, Dr. Adam Rizvi discovered that the greatest lessons of dying are not about death, but about forgiveness. In life’s final moments, people do not reach for achievements or status, they reach for reconciliation, tenderness, and peace. Those who suffer most are often bound by long held grievances, while those who die most peacefully have learned to forgive themselves, others, and life itself. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm, it is about releasing the past so it no longer imprisons the present. The wisdom of the dying is clear and urgent: do not wait. Life is happening now, and love is always closer than we think.
Relationships often challenge us in the deepest ways, especially when they stir old wounds, unmet expectations, or lingering resentments. Yet their true purpose is not to punish us, but to teach us how to love more fully. When we shift our perception from fear or judgment to compassion and understanding, even briefly, relationships can transform in unexpected and healing ways. Choosing love over resentment becomes a powerful act of inner healing, one that restores peace not only with others, but within ourselves. This shift is often the fastest route back to wholeness.
Modern wellness often overlooks the most fundamental relationships our biology depends on. Water, light, and sound are not passive elements, they are active signals that shape cellular energy, coherence, and resilience. Our bodies evolved in constant relationship with these forces, and when they are disrupted by artificial lighting, chronic stress, and indoor living, the result is a loss of biological harmony. By restoring our connection to natural light cycles, structured cellular water, and the healing vibrations of sound, we support the body’s innate ability to communicate, regulate, and heal. True health begins with remembering these elemental medicines.

If you want to live the best version of your life, it starts from the top down. Your mind sets the tone for everything that follows, shaping your energy, your actions, and ultimately your results. When your thoughts run endlessly in the background, they drain you like an app that never closes. The solution is simple but powerful, recharge with intention. By fueling your mind with passion, purpose, and positive focus, you unlock potential without limits and begin shifting from merely surviving to fully thriving.
Slipping up during Dry January does not mean you failed. One drink does not erase progress or intention. This article explores why slip ups happen, how to respond without shame, and how Dry January can still deliver meaningful insight, clarity, and healthier habits through progress rather than perfection.
The New Year invites reflection, intention, and renewal. It is a time when we set our hopes forward, choose what we wish to cultivate, and begin with clarity and purpose. At the heart of all meaningful growth is the development of spiritual consciousness, a practice that shapes not only how we think, but how we live.
As 2026 approaches, the question is not which predictions will come true, but which beliefs we choose to live by. Alan Cohen invites readers to look beyond fear-based forecasts and remember their power to shape the future through thought, prayer, and trust. When we align our minds with love rather than limitation, healing follows, both personally and collectively. The year ahead becomes not something to fear, but something to consciously create.
As the light slowly returns after the Solstice, we are reminded of humanity’s ancient belief in renewal and rebirth. In this reflective essay, Hope Fitzgerald explores how the sacred energy of this season awakens generosity, compassion, and the quiet miracles that restore our faith in one another.
December 21st marks the Winter Solstice, a time when Yin energy reaches its peak. While the holiday season often demands hustle and activity, nature is actually calling us to do the opposite: to turn inward, rest, and reflect. Wellness expert Dreama Vance explains why resisting this natural rhythm causes stress, and how pausing to enjoy a moment of stillness can help you move back into a state of flow and grace.
In sixth grade, Lori pointed to an X-ray and asked where the soul was—a question that was met with ridicule. Years later, on a bitter winter night, she steps away from the warmth of her home to find the answer. It wasn’t in the bones of a skeleton, but waiting for her in the stars.
This piece invites readers to navigate the holiday season by honoring their emotions as inner guidance, not obstacles. Ann Albers explains that feelings, whether joyful or heavy, serve as a Divine Navigation System that reveals alignment with your soul. By embracing emotions rather than resisting them, you open space for clarity, relief, and a more authentic experience of love during a season that often magnifies every feeling.
Healing may seem to be nothing more than a means of getting rid of pain and restoring physical health. But as important as physical healing is, you can’t be fully healed if you ignore inner wounds. When left unhealed, inner suffering silently affects every aspect of your life.
Whether you enter this holiday season with wonderful traditions to celebrate, or with a heart heavy from loss, you can find love when you look for it in the here and now. If you are celebrating a season of tradition, it is useful to ask yourself if those traditions still bring you joy today. If so, embrace them wholeheartedly.
