Available on the shop, visit the 🔗 on my page for my ko-fi shop 🫶🏻 The root chakra is our center of connection to the earthly, physical plane and rooting in our physical body. Saturn represents the energy that contributes to foundations, structures, and our physicality. And mars keeps that physicality dynamic, moving, and alive. Stinging Nettle is an herb that harnesses both of these energies: It caters to our very foundations and physical structures; providing nourishment and building blocks for our tissues through its nutritive and mineral rich greenery. Its essence also embodies the fiery energy of mars, teaching us to unapologetically enforce our boundaries and embody recognition of inherent value through self protection. #rootchakra #mars #saturn #nettle #onthisday

This has been sitting in my drafts for a year at least. It began as a letter I wrote to the past versions of myself. As I was writing, I had the most bizarre experience. I was tapping into the version of me I wanted to write to, getting a feel for her, and suddenly I slipped into the perspective of viewing myself from above, maybe 2 or 3 years prior. Only a couple years into my healing journey after leaving a religious cult. I could see me, in the living room of my old apartment. It was an odd experience, bc it was a past memory, but I was experiencing it as myself, presently, separate from my past self. I remember feeling slightly clunky and awkward, like, what am I doing here? It wasn’t self-led, I was just plopped into this experience. I got the feeling that she needed support, and I began outpouring affirmations about how beautiful our life is, and how much she deserves it, how worthy she is of more, and how much good is coming to her. Fast forward a few weeks after this experience, I stumbled into a note in my notes app from April 17, 2022, where I wrote about an experience of sitting in my living room, meditating and visualizing my future, and recounting the beauty I tapped into in that experience; where I was living, and the type of partnership I had, what it felt like to be me. I wrote about having a moment of doubt that this future was possible for me, and then experiencing a version of me coming through, that felt like an older sibling, pouring affirmations into me of my worthiness and how beautiful our life becomes. For whatever reason, I even had a video of myself in this note, of me meditating that day, and I documented the exact moment where I felt unworthy, and then that affirming version of myself come through, (I hug my knees in to myself & light starts pouring in from the window). This is the clip in the beginning of this post. As you can imagine, I was struck with AWE. For weeks I reveled in the knowing that this wasn’t just some experience my imagination created, I experienced a taste of myself and the life I was living 3 YEARS before any of it happened. Life’s so much more interesting than we can even fabricate on our own. Younger me has noooo clue how freaking cool life gets. Me now has no clue either!! And neither do you if you’ve read this far (: You’re worthy of all of it, and it’s coming. #deconstruction #spiritualawakening

A foundation for returning to self through Ayurveda - the unfolding has begun 🩷 #slowhealing #returntoself #ayurveda

I’m no masochist by any means. I am just well versed in this familiar exchange with my body. It offers up an area that has gone overlooked. I look at it. It went overlooked for a reason; it was painful. and I didn’t have the resources at the time to meet the experience at the depth of compassion that it was asking for. So, my body, patient and wise, holds the experience and reintroduces it at a point where more trust has been built for it to be tended to with care. Because pain wants to be witnessed in order for it to be released. And what happens after that release? Space is made. The movement of release coupled with freed up space a vacuum of sorts, a suctioning. Magnetism. What has been released in the old is replaced with the new—what now matches the culminating essence the experience; compassion, softening, love. When we allow the whole spectrum of human experience, the pain and the pleasure, the grief and the joy, we live a more embodied and truthful experience. We LIVE the experience we came here for. there is no life without death, there is no death without new life. Learning how to stay present with sensation instead of abandoning ourselves in it is the foundation of returning to truth in the body. That is the work at the center of my course. Through Ayurveda, I guide people in understanding their constitution and rebuilding relationship with their bodies and selves that is rooted in compassion and trust. The founders rate is open until the March 13th launch. You can learn more in the link in my bio 🩵 #disconnection #pain #compassion #bodywisdom

What’s in my morning tea (: Burdock root (Jupiter + Sagittarius energy) for expansion, abundance. Grounding & clearing, make space for what you want to draw in! Rose (Venus) to make receiving feel safe. The two together feel like thoroughly knowing and believing “everything is ALWAYS working out for me”. Skullcap for an overactive mind, racing thoughts, dissociation, high vata tendencies. I think of it as a gentle cap on the crown, helping you come back into your body. Passionflower as we move through Saturn in Pisces toward Saturn in Aries. Steadiness for the nervous system while keeping the big picture in mind, helping us be less short-sighted. If you like hearing the energetic + constitutional reasoning behind blends like this video, that’s what I write about on Substack 😜 I’ll be opening paid subscriptions soon, and members will receive a monthly tea with the deeper explanation behind it so make sure you follow there to stay in the loop (: AND and and I’m building a course on Ayurveda and understanding your doshic influences/your constitution so you can make blends like this for yourself 🤗 Link in bio if you want to follow along 🤸‍♀️ #teatime #astrology #herbalmedicine #anxietyrelief #lawofattraction
