Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) What comes up for you when you think of offering yourself gentleness?I think for many of us, we don't feel time for things like slowness, soothing, gentleness, tenderness, caretaking our own selves. We're often preoccupied with any number of other roles and responsibilities in life, and as women and folks with wombs, we've often been socialized to place ourselves at the bottom rung of importance.Even when we DO have time to tend to ourselves, we often choose distraction or stimulating activity over quiet self time that truly offers our own bodies, hearts, minds and spirits a form of gentleness.Many of us don't even believe we deserve that. It's just something we give, not something we receive. I want to shift the frame around all of this and turn the mirror onto you and invite you to explore what gentleness can look like and feel like in your own life. What herbs may be supportive for you to release tension in your tissues, or soften what feels hard, or soothe and calm your mood and mind?And what other practices are available to you that you could easily incorporate into your daily or weekly or monthly routine to help you soothe and tend yourself?In today's episode, I invite you to consider what a "gentleness practice" could look like and feel like for you -- and encourage you to make your own "gentleness in a bottle" tincture with some of the herbs that help to calm, soothe and nurture your unique needs. Listen to learn:what a gentleness practice could mean for youherbs to soothe tension in your tight tissues and achy musclesherbs to soften and moisten your GI, vaginal and urinary tractherbs to calm your mood and mindmy favorite herbal oil to use for belly massage (+ why belly massage matters)several simple practices you can adapt into your OWN gentleness practicea song to include in or inspire your gentleness practice :)Resources:Today's episode: Get link to Rosalie's poem and moreFree guided meditation: Womb connection + clearing meditationEpisode 18: Uterine tonics (to nourish + support your womb)Episode 19: Pelvic softening wisdom w Chaya Leia AronsonEpisode 32: Motherwort love - an herb for every season of your wombEpisode 49: How to create a sacred window in transitional timesSupport the Show.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, stress seems to be the main course on our daily menu. Yet, amidst the chaos, there is a sweet solace waiting to be savored when we choose to connect. Jake Ernst, a therapist and clinical director of Straight Up Health in Toronto, Canada, specializes in working with young people and families facing challenging and stressful situations. He is a product of a close-knit family in a small town, and he developed a penchant for helping others early on. Despite the loss of his father in his teenage years, he found solace in connections, which led him to become a therapist. Moreover, through his work, Jake emphasizes the power of human connection, addressing modern stressors and advocating for solidarity through his podcast "This Isn't Therapy" and the newsletter "Just Trying To Help." In this episode, you will be able to: Understand the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced world driven by worry, hurry, alarm, and overwhelm (WHOA). Appreciate the fundamental role of relationships in healing and growth. Explore the concept of co-regulation and its role in maintaining calmness in others. Recognize the detrimental effects of co-escalation in perpetuating stress and anxiety. Foster healthier relationships and promote community support.

Take a break from ruminating with Lama Rod Owens as he leads you in a meditation to cultivate a sky-like mind. Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/5fn7sw7t How to Do This Practice: Find a comfortable position to begin this practice. Turn your attention to the rise and fall of your thoughts and feelings within your mind. Imagine that your mind is a vast open sky and that your thoughts are like clouds passing through. Recognize that these thoughts are just experiences that come and go, and that they do not constitute the whole sky or your whole being. Allow yourself to trust the bright openness of your mind, without worrying about it becoming stormy. When you are ready, reground yourself in the present moment by noticing how your body, and how it is held by your seat.

When we mindfully tense and then release our muscles, our bodies are telling our brains to relax. Try this practice that's proven to help with depression, anxiety, and stress.  Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/477t6uhv How to Do This Practice: Find a comfortable space to complete this practice, ideally lying down. Soften your gaze and turn your attention towards your feet. When inhaling, tense your feet as much as you can for no more than 10 seconds. Then exhale and release your feet and toes, noticing the feelings of relaxation as you untense.  Repeat this process of tensing and releasing different parts of your body, working upwards from your legs to your torso, all the way to your upper body, arms and face. Remember to inhale when you are tensing your body, and exhale when you release.  Today's Happiness Break host: Jo Qina'au is meditation guide and clinical psychology fellow from Harvard University.  Learn more about Jo Qina'au's work: https://tinyurl.com/bdfyw3ar Follow Jo on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/yc846waw More resources from The Greater Good Science Center: How to Use Your Body to Relax Your Mind (The Science of Happiness Podcast): https://tinyurl.com/mueeubr7 Five Ways Mindfulness Meditation Is Good for Your Health: https://tinyurl.com/3f79nsav Why You Should Take a Relaxing Lunch Break: https://tinyurl.com/2p8axdba Four Ways to Calm Your Mind in Stressful Times: https://tinyurl.com/6apdf52p We love hearing from you!
