There’s turbulence in the world, things are moving, shaking, transforming and are unquestionably alive.
But how are you responding? It’s time to reflect on how we’re emotionally showing up, on our reactions, our inactions and beyond. Just to watch them. Learn about yourself during this unprecedented time with your observation. Part of the reason we practice tonic herbalism and the health practices we hold dear goes beyond simple health fortification, but into being strong enough so we may cultivate the ability to grow deeper roots during adversity as we come to know ourselves better, so we may be better people for the world and ourselves. “Continually trying to look on the bright side interferes with our finding the wisdom that lies in the fruitful darkness. Continually striving upward toward the light means we never grow downward into our own feet, never become firmly rooted on the earth, never explore the darkness within and around us, a darkness without whose existence the light would have no meaning.” - Stephen Harrod Buhner
So during this time, we implore you to lean into your personal practice, whether that be for 5 minutes or 2 hours a day, the length doesn’t matter.
If you would like suggestions as to what techniques and practices you could use to connect to your body, to drop into your breath and perception of yourself, and into a state of rest and digest so you may perceive rather than react, please see our stories, we’ve got some faves to share to start the process.
Enjoy growing those roots my friends.
