How do you like to work with herbs? There’s so many ways! My “Soften” herbal smoking blend is a blend of mullein, mugwort, rose, and spearmint wildcrafted from the land we reside on in Northern California and ethically sourced damiana and skullcap. It is formulated to aid in relaxation, bringing about a shift into a space of receptivity, connection, and softness. It can be burned as a incense or rolled and inhaled. I don’t know about you guys, but my nervous system always appreciates a little tlc and I’ve found working with these sweet plants in the form of smoke to be such an aide! Not to mention, that herbal smoke has such an ethereal effect for me- perfect to work with in meditation, before pulling a card, or laying down into the dreaming space. 💨✨💨
It is not available on Etsy, but can be purchased on my website www.colibrimedicine.com or dm me

A big thank you to @leharvest for the beautiful shot. Check out her page if you are a sucker like me for lovely, ethically sourced and handmade clothing and homewares.

Introducing the “Tranquility” herbal body oil

Introducing the “Tranquility” herbal body oil roller.
Wildcrafted Saint John’s-wort and mugwort infused olive oil with lavender and chamomile essential oils and clear quartz and tigers eye gem essences.
••••🌜🌞🌛••••
Roll this oil on to soothe both body and mind. These anti-inflammatory, nervine plants can ease nerve and muscle pain through direct application to painful nerves and muscles and through the aromatherapy effects through inhalation. Wonderful for sensitive bleeding times (menstrual cramps) and daily self care. ••••
This blend came into existence as an aide in my own self care, but when I realized how much I benefited from it, I decided to make a few available to the public (more will be available in summer when I can harvest more saint Johns). I find myself rolling it on the base of my neck/top of my spine where many nerves originate for an a sweet soothing moment when I’m feeling depleted. For a real treat get a partner to run it all along your spine. ••••
Read more about the benefits and formulation on etsy. This medicine has a lot of my heart and soul behind it and I feel very grateful to share it with you.

My yoga teacher pointed out that it’s the last full moon of the decade!
It worked out today where I could have the cabin to myself and I found myself making medicine🌿My favorite channel for my creativity lately has been herbally infused body oils. Ignited by this moon, I started an infusion of home grown lavender in olive oil and strained a redwood infused oil which started infusing at the beginning of a very big experience for me. I enjoy seeing what comes through my psyche as I make these medicines - going into a meditative space as I work with these earth elements and my hands I view whatever comes up as part of this particular creation’s alchemical qualities. •
My prayer for us as we head into the year 2020 is that we know a centered freedom. That we feel ourselves free to be in a space of an unburdened way of being, to be truly in our essence without shame and addictions of distraction. To practice compassion and to touch peace through every emotion and experience.And to let all this express through us, in the way we live, from our center. •

How do you remember the sacred into your day to day life?
For me it’s helpful to have altars around the house, little spaces of intention to honor the Divine.

As a mild sedative, it can help in easing anxiety, tension, and pain. It helps to regulate sleep-aiding in both falling and staying asleep. A great herbal ally to have on hand for those restless nights and anxious moments

Someone I barely knew from a few classes in colleg

Someone I barely knew from a few classes in college just reached out to me because she had just been diagnosed with alopecia.
She’s feeling shocked and scared and hopeless. I can remember the same feelings when I found my first spot and got the diagnosis at age 21.
I shared with her these couple of pictures. The first is from this March right after returning home from panchakarma in India. The second I just snapped for her now to show her the progress that’s been made.
A decade’s worth of healing after that first spot. One hell of a journey man! With the biggest part of that transformation being inside.
Ps- watch a cute video on my story of last time I went home to Kentucky visit my family and we all tried on wigs together.

What an excellent time when the nights are longer,

What an excellent time when the nights are longer, the veil is thinner, and the energies are more inward to engage with the language of our dreams. To engage with dreams is to engage with the subconscious and the more fluid side of our reality here on Earth. It’s an invitation for to dive into the beautiful mystery. It speaks in the language of symbols and archetypes as a compass to guide us on our path of healing.
•
In honor of the season, i have decided to offer 3 dream analysis sessions at a half off discount. DM for more info. The first 3 people to sign up will receive the discount. •
The first session’s proceeds will be donated to a friend who is asking for help as her husband’s visa recently got unexpectedly denied in this country. They will be starting over in Mexico and are asking for assistance in their transition. So what better time, if dream analysis peaks your curiosity or if you would benefit from additional guidance in your already established dream practice, the energy of support abounds!

Wow what a high vibing container @bhakti_fest was!

Wow what a high vibing container @bhakti_fest was! Once again, it goes beyond the vending. Yes, I feel so blessed to carry such magical creations and create a container to share them, but I also get the opportunity to practice my walk in the world. To practice feeling my ‘yes’ and my ‘no’ and not needing permission from anyone to act from that place of honoring myself. To put myself first. I have a tendency to over give and these types of containers help me to see the difference when I’m coming from a place of depletion or a full cup. I get to understand my triggers and practice a state of grace with them. I had snakes and wind come into my life, both challenges that help me practice how to allow myself to be calm as these energies move over me. I practiced letting go of the heavy burden that I carry in my shoulders and experienced times of complete freedom. I danced my freedom dance and damn it felt so good. I practiced opening my heart and compassionately loving and appreciating those around me and myself. This and more happens when we put ourselves in these multiple day experiences along with thousands of other individuals who are also working on upleveling. Thanks @bhakti_fest, all the friends, and to the land that held us over the long weekend

I love this planet too dang much. We have to, have to, wake up and stop depleting our resources for short term selfish gain. Do what you can to educate yourself. Vote for politicians that care. Be aware of who you are banking with and what they fund. Do the little lifestyle changes- eat less meat, drive less, less single use plastic. Grow more of your own food. Buy local. Say a prayer.
I know this can be overwhelming and downright scary to look at, but we can’t ignore it.
Thank you for your art @brookefischerart

I’m really pleased to release this Ocotillo flower essence on etsy.
•
•
It has been in existence for several months, but I waited to post it because I wanted to accompany its online release with a blog post about its qualities and how it came to be. The story really helps to understand its “essence”as flower essences are vibrational medicine, working primarily on the emotional and spiritual levels (which of course in turn effects the physical).
•
This Ocotillo flower Essence assists one in working with trauma in a gentle way. It helps with the “flow”- being in the flow and connected to the synchronicities and and aiding in the movement and processing of emotions, bringing them up to the surface to be worked with for the healing process. It helps one to be in the process of healing.
•
Check out the blog for a great example of how inspiration and communication comes to me when working with plants and to get a deeper look into this medicine. •
