Following on from the previous post, Passiflora and Rose Petal Infusion.

Plants, prayers,consciousness are all one. Just as we are.

While sipping Passiflora and Rose petal infusion sometimes I find offering a prayer in some way connected with meeting any old memories and thoughts of the past that have a felt sense of vulnerability or uncomfortableness or unresolved in some way.

An expression of humility, forgiveness and compassion we could say are offered .

Here are a few suggestion I myself have found of assistance.

1. A well known shortened version of the Hawaian forgiveness prayer which can used for ourself, for situations, for others , for our body.

I'm Sorry
Forgve me
Thank You
I love you

2. Simply resting back quietly sipping the infusion and listening to the body is a form of prayer/meditation.

Quoting Eric Baret
" Listening is just abiding to the fact "
" Listening is the very core of Life "

3. The Rumi poem The Guest House is in many ways a beautiful Prayer. I will just quote a few lines ( its worth checking out the whole poem) .

This being human is a guest house.
Every Morning a new arrival
A Joy, a depression, a meaness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
Welcome and entertain them all.

Enjoy sipping Passiflora and Rose Petal tea

Passiflora and Rose Petal Infusion.

These 2 wonderful plants dance together so beautifully. In a way that reminds the body/mind that it is safe to to meet old memories , old beliefs and thoughts of the past. That we need not push them away. We can offer them the gift of completing their energetic journey.

These plants dancing together in an infusion remind the body it is not only safe , there is also the support to feel the sensations of vulnerability. At the heart of the vulunerabilty is a strength that dissolves as a softness arising. A calming, reassuring heartfelt compassion.

Re-establishing ancient pathways of wholeness with now relevance.

This gentle caring formula supports and soothes the nervous system with such ease.

For me when I sip this herbal nectar of Passiflora and Rose Petals there is a felt sense of being held in universal loving arms.

enjoy . x

More and more we are hearing of the wisdom and healing benefits of nature and the interconnectedness of everything.
For most of us we need ways in which we can relate and more importantly directly experience the wholeness being spoken of.
Our body can offer such a doorway as we discover how to truly care and listen to our body with compassion and with understanding.

Plants are the body’s friend gently whispering and reminding us of our wholeness. Soothing and vitalising simultaneously.
The plants are interconnected deeply with the earth, the sky, the rivers, the oceans with everything including our body’s.

This beautiful alchemy/ friendship between the body and plants gifts us this amazing opportunity of recognising our beingness, our wholeness, our interconnectedness through the quality of care which is inherent within all healing processes.

To care for the body , to listen to our body is a sacred art available to all of us. In discovering how our body functions not just physiologically also energetically including our emotional responses and felt sense awareness we have a doorway in which an opportunity to remember our beingness, our interconnectedness with everything. The body is welcomed as an aspect of the whole of life, as Life.

An expression of loving care can be as simple and easy as sipping a herbal cuppa daily.
An expression of loving care can be as simple and easy of being the true scientist of how your beautiful unique body functions.
An expression of loving care can be as simple and easy as being willing to listen to our body each day.

lots of love Amanda x

I hear the queen of the meadows ( the graceful herb meadowsweet) whispering of her gifts and qualities she offers so happily and freely .

As I make a brew of this receptive and soothing herb, I offer thanks for her many blessings.

Herbal teas touch the body , we could say almost soak the tissues of the digestive system with the herb’s beautiful qualities.

I sense this is a gentle welcoming process for the body . As meadowsweet sings of supporting the digestive area of the body, this gentle soothing approach of sipping an infusion is often what the body is asking for when the digestive system is uncomfortable.

Meadowsweet reminds the body it is safe to open to the sense and feeling of spaciousness. Offering the properties of soothing inflammation, cramping, reflux and more .

Whispering of the interconnection of the whole physiology.
Meadowsweet offers assistance in reminding the body of its natural flow of functioning of assimilating, digesting and eliminating.

We can also sip an infusion of meadowsweet as an expression of care for this amazing vehicle the body.

Enjoy sipping this herbal nectar with it fragrance of almonds and honey . Just a delight !

4 Herbal gems to support the body during experiences of releasing and grief.

In lovingly caring for ourselves and the body during such experiences we can offer lots of space ,lots of time if needed. In other words walking at our own pace, our own unique rhythm.

The bodys herbal allies can be a part of such loving care.
Here are 4 herbs that i feel truly support the body during the process.

Rose
Marshmallow Root
Nettle
Oat Straw

Letting the felt sense of the pelvic area of the body being held in the Universal Mothers arms , held safely with unconditional love can be of assistance in such experience, supporting the body to feel safe. Holding with deep compassion for our challenging experiences.

Even though our experience of letting go/releasing/grief may not appear to be related to the pelvic area . This area of the body is often touched emotionally/energetically particulary for women this area is sometimes described as second heart area.

" your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror up to where you are bravely working "
Rumi

The smallest expression of kindness to the body can ignite a healing/ enlivening process.

If our body feels heavy
If our minds feel frantically busy
If our daily life feels chaotic

Offering one “ bitesize piece “ of kindness , of support, of care, of listening to the body moves mountains, it truly does .

Simply stopping for a herbal cuppa and including ritual in the process can be one such expression of care .

Placing the herbs in the pot with care with attention.
Pouring on the water. Letting the herbs brew/ infuse.
Pouring into a cup we enjoy.
This is ritual if you like when bowed down to with our sacred attention, with care.
The body responds to the rhythm of care.
When we sip the infusion , the herbs touch the tissues of the body reminding the body of its innate qualities. Vitalising, soothing and restoring equilibrium.
Herbs are our body’s ally . Herbs are droplets of care offered to the body with love . Enjoy your daily cuppa x

The Latin word for medicine is medicina, meaning the art of healing.
I would like to share how caring for the body is an art form, be that of a so called healthy body or one experiencing discomfort.
The creativity and wonder of listening to the body , of responding to the body with care and attention in the same way in which we care for a child.

Supporting the body’s functioning with nourishing and vitalising foods and offering the body the wonderful herbs is such a blessing in so many ways.

Herbs are an offering in the sense of their properties and qualities being a reminder to the body of the functioning of the physiology as a whole and realigning with its innate harmony. Rather than holding an aspect of the physiology in a state that must be maintained .

Herbal gem offered with love .

Meadowsweet.

Meadowsweet sings of supporting the digestive area, this gentle, soothing approach of drinking an infusion of meadowsweet .
Ease and sensitivity is often what is welcomed by the digestive area when it is experiencing distress or sometimes pain.
Ease on many levels not just in terms of discomfort but also ease of the functioning of the system , be that in over activity or under activity. Ease in supporting the realigning of the over activity or lack of activity to return to its natural flow and harmony.

Meadowsweet reminds the body it’s safe to open to the sense of spaciousness and affirms the physiological process of assimilating, digesting and eliminating. Celebrating rest and movement.
Enjoy sipping this herbal nectar with its gentle fragrance of almonds and honey . X

Bliss and mystery of deep sleep.

Just as we sometimes soothe a baby into sleep, we can soothe the body when needed with similar rituals, reassurances, care and love.

As we rock a baby gently held in our arms , the babys body is offered a gentle rhythm. a creative sense of safety, care and love. Safe to rest back, let the eyes gently close, let go into deep sleep.

There is so much scientific research explored each year associated with sleep patterns and benefits. All of which affirm what each of us know directly deep within particulary after experiencing the nectar of deep sleep.

We can ignite this remembering within the body. Yes it may take sometimes changing some of our patterns during daily life.

I offer these suggestions of care for the body in welcoming deep sleep with gentleness acknowldging the mysterious nature of sleep. Also acknowldging the distress that is sometimes experienced when we are unable to sleep.

For this post my suggestion is to start with herbal cuppas during the evening. If you enjoy a bath the herbal infusions can be added to the bath water.

Here are the herbal allies i would suggest using as an infusion. Drinking one cup early evening and another cup before bed. You could also take a flask of the infusion to bed with you to drink a little if you wake in the night.

An infusion of oat straw and passion flower.
why these herbs ?

Oat straw nourishes the nervous sytem on a very deep level. the body is reminded of a snense of equilibrum . Such a blessing, a gentle light taste that reminds us of fields of oats, of the earths nourishment. A sense of being held in warm blanket of care.

Passionflower .

This beautiful plant reminds the body of relaxation and gently calms the nervous sytem. A wonderful herbal ally to soothe the busy mind and offers some sedative qualities to remind the body of deep sleep.

Enjoy and may the body be held in the arms of wholeness, oneness, love.

Using herbs to care for the body.

An approach of offering herbal medicine as an expression of care for the body, as an opportunity for an exploration of being.
An approach were we feel safe in life , as life, where experience is both valued and cared for as an experience of the whole of life.
We are the custodians, if you like of our body, so it makes sense to care for the body as we would a child, with sensitivity, with listening, with care, with love.
Taking care of the body is an act of love. caring for the body as we would a child with loving warm acceptance.
Such an attitude of care towards the body not only when symptoms arise but also can be our position in daily life.
It is so easy as we all know when we hear popular sayings such as as self care and self kindness to override the signposting they invite. Thoughts of I’ve heard it all before, I haven’t got time, I need something more than self kindness. Yet when we live expressions of self kindness, when we care for the body as we would a child, this attitude moves mountains , it truly does ! The body feels the impact of such care.

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing posts of our wonderful herbal allies that touch the body with the tenderness of care. Nourishing and vitalising the body. As we sip herbal infusions or mix herbal powders we are reminded of self kindness and care for the body.
Lots of love Amanda x
