The womb is not just a sacred place to create life. It is also a place where memories are stored, emotions and energies that can cause sexual blockages that stops us from expressing our full feminine potential.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine and MesoAmerican Medicine, one of the causes of infertility is a cold womb. If our internal fire is unbalanced, our wombs are not able to maintain a proper environment for a baby to grow or have a healthy menstrual cycle.

Common symptoms: cold hands and feet, aversion to cold, irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, painful periods, endometriosis, low back pain, dark red menstrual blood with clots.

Womb Health Tips:

✨ Avoid raw cold foods/drinks
✨Wear socks in cold surfaces especially in the winter months.
✨Eat and drink warm food especially during bleeding days.
✨Get regular Acupuncture, herbal medicine and Moxibustion treatments
✨Self-care abdominal massage
✨Ginger Tea, jujube tea or warm water with lemon.
✨Take warm foot baths
✨Use heating pads on your lower abdomen if there is cramping/pain or feel cold.

Cold and Flu season is here and if you have a kid in school you know this is an endless cycle of everyone at home getting sick. So here are some recommendations for this winter:

These two brands are my favorite because they are clean natural ingredients and they do third party testing on all of their formulas for pesticides, additives and heavy metals.

Beekeper’s Natural’s “Kid’s” Immune support daily throat spray: To soothe scratchy throats.

Beekeper’s Natural’s “Cough Syrup for kids”: For dry cough and sore throat, as well to support their immune system.

Immunity Boost for kids by Dr. Green Life: For sick season, during travel, and when daycare bugs are going around.

Temperature Tamer for kids by Dr. Green life: To help with the discomfort of fevers.

Bronchial Calm for kids by Dr. Green Life: To help with occasional coughs and boost the respiratory system.

Liquid Vitamin C by Dr. Green Life: Immune support, stress management, healthy skin, strong bones and more.

Homemade Bone Broth: Easy hydration, supports digestion, supports joints, immune system and more.

And of course don’t forget probiotics for the little ones. Remember 80% of our immune system is in our gut!

Our boys love Purple Sauerkraut from “Spirit Creek Farm”.
Plain Greek Yogurt (we make a fruit bowl with local honey and yogurt)
Or Kids chewable probiotics by Dr. Green Life

Keep an eye on the next post for Pediatric Acupressure and other modalities to prevent or help boost your little ones immune system.

Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in an extraordinary retreat where nature and inner wisdom become your guides. Set on a stunning 100-acre property, this retreat offers a sacred space for deep healing, self-discovery, and connection to the earth.
Together, we will explore the unspoken realms within, bringing mindful awareness to the unconscious processes of breath, digestion, and emotion. We will journey into the energetic wisdom of the lungs, associated with grief, and the kidneys, which hold the energy of fear. Through this deep, transformative work, we will face our discomfort and release these powerful emotions—allowing them to shift and strengthen us from within.

What Awaits You:

Acupuncture & Breathwork
Nordic Cycles: Sauna & Cold Plunge Experience
Cacao Ceremony & Apacheta Building
Shamanic Community Clearing

Limited to 13 participants
Dates: February 7th, at 11am - Feb 9 at 1pm.

Life is a combination of happiness and pain. Pain is inevitable but suffering remains optional. Having a broad perspective on life gives you the strength to move forward through painful times.
Know that you are very much needed in this world. With all its infinite possibilities, this life is a gift for it can become a fountain of joy and happiness not just for oneself but for many others as well.

-Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

We thank and honor all of those who have served our nation on this Veterans Day and every day. 🇺🇸

As we celebrate Dia de los Mu***os, we want to remember all of those who are not with us anymore.

THE LEGEND OF THE FLOWER OF CEMPASÚCHIL

This beautiful legend tells the love story of two young Aztecs, Xóchitl and Huitzilin, as well as the legend about the Cempasúchil flower.

The romance between these two young people began when they were still little. As children, they had fun playing together and enjoying the surroundings of their town. In time, it was natural that a great love blossomed between them.
They say that every afternoon they went up to the top of the mountain to bring flowers to Tonatiuh, the sun god, he seemed to smile at them from the heights before the offering of lovers, and they swore to love each other forever, even beyond death.
One day the war came, and the lovers had to part because the young Huitzilin had to go to fight.
Sadly soon after, news came that Huitzilin had been wounded and eventually killed. The beautiful Xóchitl felt her heart break with pain.
She decided to climb the mountain for the last time to implore Tonatiuh, the sun god, to unite her forever with her love. The shaken sun released one of its rays, and when it touched the girl, it turned her into a beautiful flower with colors as intense as the sun’s rays.
In a short time, a hummingbird arrived that lovingly settled in the center of the flower.
It was Huitzilin who had transformed into a beautiful hummingbird. Instantly the flower opened into 20 petals, with an intense and mysterious aroma … Lovers would always be together as long as marigolds and hummingbirds existed.
This is how the marigold flower was born, the flower of the dead.
