I was learning in my studies recently that homeopathic remedies work much faster on individuals in remote areas ~ where modern influence is not as strong as it is the west. ⁠
⁠
The closer one lives to nature, the speedier their healing. ⁠
The closer one lives in community the more resilient their body. ⁠
⁠
The less toxic overload, ⁠
the fresher their food, ⁠
the more alive their water and clean their air, ⁠
the deeper their connection to family and the stars and the rituals of their people... ⁠
⁠
We could speculate at length about which elements are most influential. ⁠
⁠
In fact, Weston A. Price, a dentist, tried to do just this in the 1930’s. He examined the teeth and overall health of isolated communities around the globe and found that the more isolated from western influence, the better the health (including their teeth!). ⁠
⁠
So what does that mean for us living in a wester society with the addition of EMF’s, Glyphosate, radiation and more? ⁠
⁠
The burden can feel all too much at times, but there are simple steps we can all take to ease the load on our bodies (I’m sure we can all name several).. ⁠
⁠
AND⁠
⁠
Remember that we are adaptable. ⁠
Every effort we make is one less weight on the body. ⁠
It’s not all or nothing. ⁠
Our bodies are intelligent and designed to heal. ⁠
Health of the spirit and mind impact that of the body far more than we tend to give credit. ⁠
⁠
What one thing can you start with?⁠
⁠
Oh mine? I just made a big quinoa & chickpea salad chuck full of herbs to keep in the fridge so I go for rather than this afternoon instead of my daughter’s brownies. ⁠
⁠
And I might have a little brownie nibble after. ⁠
⁠
That will do for now.

So what does that mean for us living in a wester society with the addition of EMF's, Glyphosate, radiation and more?

Remember that we are adaptable.

It's not all or nothing.
Our bodies are intelligent and designed to heal.
Health of the spirit and mind impact that of the body far more than we tend to give credit.

I'm sitting in a cafe right now, after studying for a couple of hours, feeling a creeping anxiety move through my body. My knee is bouncing, my chest feels tight, my shoulders are tense and I want to crawl out of my skin.

While I don't live with this daily, it's something that visits from time to time as stress ebbs and flows, as my food choices fluctuate or as sleep evades me.

And as I sit with it right now, taking the opportunity to notice how it feels in my body, it seems like a little child; overwhelmed, trapped and who wants to run away. (ahem.. hello Wind Woman archetype)

And then there's this other part of me, the nurturing mother, the Hearth Keeper, who's trying to soothe and calm the inner child.

Slow breaths. Letting the tension move through me. Not fighting it.

Even as I write the words, I can feel that inner child beginning to calm.

I imagine sitting by the water, watching the light play off its surface, the sound of birds singing my arrival, a warm and gentle breeze. I notice the movement at the edge of my vision.. a loon dipping in the water maybe.

The inner child relaxes more.

Back in the cafe, I notice the feeling of the chair under my body, the sweater on my skin, the computer keys as I type, the weight of this giant text book in my lap, and I chuckle.

Just living life over here, don't mind me. ☕

Winter often brings up themes of ‘letting go’.⁠
𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳.⁠
⁠
In the body, I often see 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰 expressed as: ⁠
• fatigue ⁠
• skin flares ⁠
• digestive shifts ⁠
• emotional sensitivity⁠
• water weight and inflammatory fluctuation⁠
⁠
Herbs can support the body through these shifts, but they work best when we understand what 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 we’re in first.⁠
⁠
Different archetypal patterns call for different herbs.  ⁠
⁠
If you’re someone who lets go rather easily and are simply struggling with a little emotional sensitivity, a few gentle nervines can do the trick.  ⁠
⁠
If you’re someone who holds on tight and has trouble letting go, or breaking out in eczema flair ups, we may use some roots that can gently but steadily break apart stagnation. ⁠
⁠
Finding herbs to support BOTH your archetypal & symptom patterns is where softness and ease can take place. ⁠

Winter often brings up themes of 'letting go'.
Right now especially as we add the final shedding of the snake year to the mix.

Join me at the new HEARTLAND KIND MATTER CO in Mississauga for our 𝘚𝘗𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘙𝘌𝘚𝘌𝘛 𝘞𝘖𝘙𝘒𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘗 ~ Saturday March 7th, 1-4pm.

In this workshop, we'll be exploring gentle, medicinal herbs for cleansing the system after a long winter, replenishing our energy and getting spring ready.

In this hands on workshop we'll be crafting both an herbal tea and a herbal body scrub.

Also, we're doing this at one of my favourite refillary shops, The Kind Matter Co. They've curated such an incredible collection of small biz products, supporting so many other eco-mom-preneurs and small start ups.

Hope to see you there.

Last summer I read the incredible book, 𝙍𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚 by Kelly A. Turner.

In it, Kelly lists the 10 common healing factors between the many individual she interviewed who were exceptional survivors of cancer and other illnesses.

Often times these books show a bias towards one health system/practice or another but what I love is that Kelly includes all healing factors used regardless of modality.

One of the 10 common factors was that each person had 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳.. not simply for living's sake, but something richer, something meaningful that gave their life 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 and that they could focus on.

For some it was family, for others a deep passion for caregiving, a hobby, a goal or curiosity that lit them up and gave them joy.

While many of us are driven by our fears and need for safety, we can also be driven by our passions; the question is, which is more dominant the majority of the time?

Which do you tend to dwell in?
From which do you make decisions?
From which do you desire?
From which do you hope?

Having something to fuel you and light you up is just as important in your health or healing journey as any supplements or medications, and it's likely more fun too :)

Dwelling in our fears, while they have their use, is no place to linger.

I didn’t always trust my body.⁠
⁠
For years, I tried to fix it with herbs and supplements, or honestly, just power through (I’ve got that Fire-Runner Archetype in me pretty strong)⁠
⁠
What changed my relationship to health was realizing my symptoms weren’t betrayals; they weren’t wrong or a fluke, they were communications.⁠
⁠
Learning to listen didn’t make things instant or perfect though.⁠ But it made them coherent. It gave those symptoms a voice and language I could begin to understand.⁠
⁠
This understanding eventually shaped my work with archetypes, patterns, and the feminine body. My studies in Herbalism, German New Medicine, Neurolinguistic Programming and Homeopathy all came together with such ease and insight; patterns upon patterns revealing themselves.⁠
⁠
But you don’t need to know everything to begin listening.⁠

Sometimes you just need the right lens.⁠
