To all my girlfriends - this is too good 😂😂😂
In the fall the trees begin to shed their leaves. It’s the season of grief, the great “letting go.” We can learn so much from nature. The tree doesn’t stubbornly hold on to her leaves because she might need them next year. Let us take that wisdom and let go of our decay, and all the negativity we’ve collected over the prior months. In Chinese medicine Fall is associated with Lungs (grief, loss, separation) and Large Intestines (holding on/ constipation/ letting go). Are you holding on or letting go? To support the body in this seasonal transition. I love a nice tea of Yellow dock, Elderberry, Ginger. 3 heaping tablespoons of the blend to 8 cups of water. Simmer 4 hours down to 4 cups, strain and drink. 🍂🍁

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.” -Tom Robbins - Beautiful art by @alphachanneling
One day I’ll be wrinkled and grey (I hope), and beautiful in that way. Spending my days with family, plants, loved ones, and plants. But for now it’s Saturday night and I live in New York and am going to enjoy @trista.leigh3 catch up 🤗
In my herbal journey I love learning how to connect with herbs ritually. A huge part of that learning and accessing process has been via @flowerpower_nyc and acquiring wisdom from customers, colleagues, and the plants themselves. At this workshop I invite you to let me share what I have learned in relation to the Thinning Of The Veil. How to connect with the most optimal time of year to access our intuition and psychic abilities we all have deeply inside of us. 🌟 tix link in bio and here: thethinningveilherbsforsamhain.splashthat.com #thinningoftheveil #samhain #seasonofthewitch #theveil #halloween

A lot of people ask me, why Herbalism? Taking an interest in Herbalism, gaining botanical skills, wildcrafting herbs, and working with these plants as medicinal remedies is empowering and puts our health back into our own hands. We don’t have to see our bodies as broken machines that are to be fixed by a mechanic. We are born into these bodies and frankly we know them a lot better then we are raised to believe. Herbal remedies and learning how to use them help us to regain our intuition about ourselves, our health, and allow us to realize we are part of our own healing process. Yes- even more than any doctor. We are our own greatest healers 🌟 #plantmedicine #plantremedies #herbalism #herbalmedicine #herbalist #clinicalherbalist
Red is the color of the root chakra. One imbalance of the root chakra is fear. Fear impacts us physically and emotionally with stress and tension. Our muscles tend to tighten, the heartbeat pace will be more rapid, and the body will overproduce stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Unlike animals, who rarely experience fear without a clear threat or reason, we humans use our imagination and find reasons to be fearful. . . We have been living in a reductionist culture that often sees nature’s energy as threatening, unreliable, and hostile. If the weather isn’t pleasant for us, we may even be angry we can’t control it for our convenience! Some of us may even feel that our physical bodies are equally unreliable betraying us with pain and disease. . . The more we feel distanced from nature, and from the natural connection and source the root chakra offers us, the less we know how to trust our intuitive self and what’s safe or harmful for ourselves in our lives. . . Learning how to ground and support these patterns is a dedicated practice. It’s possible with affirmations/ meditation, Foods, herbs, crystals, and flower essences. Foods: root vegetables like beets, yams. Herbs: Burdock, Wood Betony. Flower Essences: Clementis, Mimulus, Angelica. Crystals: garnet, cornelian, obsidian.
Take what you need...(There’s different plants for each. Depending on the person they may vary 😉)
Pictured here, the infamous Coca Tea, “Mate de Coca.” . . . I love being able to drink these South American leaves (that taste similar to many other culinary teas). It provides me me with a mood elevating warming and energizing feeling. . . Sadly this plant is illegal in the US due to the plant constituent called, “cocaine.” The cocaine alkaloid has a chemical structure similar to neurotransmitter, acetylcholine - which transmits impulses between nerves in the brain and neuromuscular junctions. So in essence the effect that the plant has on us, is a mild jolt to our nervous system as a stimulant. It’s a super mild feeling of euphoria that is less strong than Coffee. In terms of safety one would need much more cocaine than caffeine to overdose, making Mate de Coca way safer than Coffee in high doses. Even so, due to nefarious extraction of cocaine from the leaves to make illicit substances - the plant isn’t allowed in the US. If you find yourself in South America remember to try this plant if you are drawn to it 🌿 my hopes is that one day we will be able to drink as a coffee replacement, and to aid in weight loss! 💚
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.” -Terrence McKenna ***almost back on the grid, making my journey to US! Xo
For me I find deep Medicine in the practice of disconnecting. I’m headed to the Amazon jungle for two weeks off the grid. The nearest landline is an hour boat ride away. Complete mental and physical reset. All clients - will resume 9/13. If you need support stop by and see one of my herbal colleagues @thealchemistskitchen or @flowerpower_nyc - sending love and healing vibes to everyone I’m connected with on here 🙏🏽
