Caring for Ourselves and the Earth

As I write this the sun and the moon are both in the astrological sign of Cancer. One of the teachings this provides us is the reminder that nurturing and prioritizing taking good care of yourself is far from selfish. It is wise and health-promoting to care about your own well-being. It is also kind.

Taking good care of yourself is far from selfish

Like many others, I’ve been struggling to stay well under the smoky skies that have been so oppressive.

The fires in Canada, like the other disasters going on around our beloved world are yet another wake up call for us to use our people power to take back our Earth. 

In my neck of the woods, that means working to stop the funding and construction of new fracked gas compressor stations, among other things. It is truly madness to deny the roof that is falling on our collective heads, and continue prioritizing business as usual. But it won't change without us being active, adamant citizens. 

Let's rise to the call for the present and future generations, because we are kind, and because we care. None of us can do everything, but we can all do something. Do it!

And at the same time,
take good care of yourself, please. 

This is what I have been doing…

I had just gotten over my cough from Covid when smoke filled the air and my cough started up again. I was taking a lot of wonderful tinctures but I have to say… when I started focusing on my water based medicine, the nature of my healing changed in a beautiful way!

This infusion, in the video below, helped me immensely in handling the feeling of pressure in my chest from the smoky skies, and it has also been amazing at relieving my cough!

Full-on self-care is a radical act that I wholeheartedly encourage.
