Practice Good Self-Care – What Lifts You Up?

How is your Self-Care Practice? Energies are intense and self-care is so important these days. Everyone is feeling it and we need to make sure that we are taking care of ourselves. Sometimes turning inward is the cure for the stress of what is happening in the world. The more you are connected to your own Inner Light, the less you will be affected by outside influences. 

Find what brings you joy, what fuels you, what you are passionate about, and what brings you purpose, and do more of those things. No matter what you are doing make sure you are aligning with your truest self and doing it from your heart.

​Let go of what you can’t control. This does not mean remain complacent or apathetic, but just accept what you can’t change in the moment and remain as neutral as possible. Have fun, play and get out into nature. This will raise your vibration and you will experience more joy, which may inspire others to do the same.


When you start to feel tired, or overwhelmed by life events, take a step back and pause a moment. Take a few deep breaths and try to put your feet on the earth. When you are grounded, you feel stronger in every way. Do what your heart calls you to do. Always follow your own truth and do what YOU feel is right. Align with your most authentic self. Be yourself and SHINE YOUR LIGHT!!!

— Love, Sue

Are you feeling hot?
 
Even though we are nearing the end of summer according to the calendar, the heat of summer may accumulate in our bodies and minds creating discomfort and imbalances. These imbalances can show up as rashes, acid reflux, irritated eyes, impatience, irritability, and anger. 

Ayurvedic medicine (the oldest form of Holistic Medicine in the world!) provides various practices to eliminate that heat so that we can feel cooler and calmer:

  • Start your day with a cool splash of water on your face and eyes followed by a spritz of rosewater. 
  • Apply coconut oil to the skin followed by a cool to lukewarm shower. 
  • Eat fresh, cooling foods such as cucumber, lettuce, melons, basmati rice, cilantro, jicama, celery and summer squash. Avoid oily, spicy foods and those with a lot of onion, garlic and chilis. 
  • Reduce coffee and alcohol as these drinks heat the mind/body!
  • Stay hydrated. Drink coconut water – without added sweeteners. 
  • Use Essential Oils that are cooling: chamomile, geranium, jasmine, lavender, lemongrass, sandalwood, gardenia, lily, rose, honeysuckle and ylang ylang.
