Other Love Notes
With the state of things in the world, I also want to name that there are many other reasons we may turn to nature for relaxation, release, grounding and healing that we cannot do on our own. Some of you may choose to turn to nature as opposed to inviting in more people to help you. Some of you may use both. Either way is all good. The most important thing to me is that you know you have options and Pachamama has always been providing for us the things we need in great bounty. To me, this is all the more reason to care for this sacred home we are borrowing for a short time...it feels selfish to me to use up resources to the point of none being left for anyone else. Have you ever sat down to a meal with someone who took more than their share of food, not leaving enough to go around? Even if you haven't, take a moment to imagine that scenario. Chances are that person would get the side eye by a few people from around the table. Yet that is exactly what we're doing when we turn our backs on the damage being done to the water, land, mountains, forests and all the plants, herbs, animals, crystals and MEDICINE available to us in the process. If we lack, it's not because we did not have.

Here are a few ideas to invite in Nature's medicine more:
Drink more water! Did you know that water is a crystalline substance that you can program with your intentions and it will follow? Did you know that we can survive longer with no food than we can with no water? Do your research on this to confirm for yourself but trust me when I say water is sacred. Go for a walk outside. Consider visiting a park, nature preserve, beach, lake or wherever calls to you. Get barefoot. Take time to feel Earth supporting you. Take a workshop by a trusted community herbalist. Download apps like PictureThis, PlantSnap or PlantNet (no affiliation to me, I just enjoy them!) and take your inner child or children on a scavenger hunt around the backyard or your favorite park. Be curious and find out what nature is growing under your nose! Add some ideas of your own that you enjoy:
