Hello beautiful people, are you ready for fall?

In Ayurveda, we observe the changing of the seasons as outward examples of what is changing in our own lives and because of this, fall can be a generous teacher with many tools for insight.

In North America, one of the many lessons it is demonstrating is the shifting of focus. Moving inward, preparing for, and getting ready for the upcoming winter. Look around a beautiful example is found in the trees. Notice their leaves as they shift to yellow or red and eventually fall to the ground. There is a magical and natural process that's taking place inside the trees. The trees are extracting all the chlorophyll from their leaves as a source of nourishment, pulling it all in. So like the trees in which way can we extract from our summer and spring. How can we shift and prepare for the upcoming winter?

Fall alignment questions :
What needs to be claimed, harvested, and stored?
What "food" have you gathered through this year?
What wisdom and lessons have you learned?
Are there any unnecessary stories, ideals, thoughts, beliefs that are ready to drop off?
What aspects of your life, are ready for extraction and letting go?
Are there areas of your life you have outgrown?
So honoured to have spent time discussing Grief with the incredible @elixirs_for_life

Time to Tackle a Tricky Topic

Alright fam! We're wading into some tricky stuff this month! But I promise you're ready.

Here's the thing, I'm always telling you that for every challenge in life there is a solution. So, let's look for solutions in a timely, universal challenge: grief
Why grief? 

Well, it turns out, grief isn't just about losing someone close to you. It can sneak up on us anytime life changes, or we experience disappointment (anyone going through this during lockdown?)

Solutions exist! And I found an expert to help us—Mandi Mack!

@mandimack is a shaman, yoga therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, massage therapist and creator of @vedicsmudge We chatted about why everyone is experiencing grief right now, how to recognize micro-grief, and ways to heal your 'emotional ninjas'.

It's one of my favourite conversations of the year, I hope you enjoy it!

You can find the link to read in our bio!

Dear Beautiful Humans,

I am excited to announce my schedule is now open. You can book at: mandimack.com

I am excited to get back to work and wanted to share with you some of the changes that will now be implemented when you come to the clinic:

Screening: Two days before your appointment, a covid19 screening questionnaire will be sent to you along with your appointment reminder. I will be going through this with you again when you arrive. 
Cancellations: My philosophy : 'Sharing is caring, except when your sick'. So if you cannot make your appointment because you or a family member is feeling unwell, the late cancellation fee will be waived and we will prioritize getting you in omce given the all clear.

Arrival: new check in process: there will be a QR code on the outside door when you arrive please scan it . This will allow me to invite you in and prevent any cross contact with other clients

Waiting: if you’re early for your appointment, please wait in your vehicle, or hall way as our waiting room will be closed (for now). Clean hands: hand sanitizer will be provided to everyone upon arrival

Masks: I’ll be wearing a surgical mask during treatments. You are encouraged to wear one of your choice as well

Water: unfortunalty we can no longer serve water or tea, so you may want to bring a bottle with water or your favorite beverage.

Sanitation: I will be disinfecting the treatment table and all surfaces between each client

For many, including myself, the lockdown was challenging physically, mentally, and emotionally. This takes a big toll on our bodies. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I look forward to supporting in any way that I can. 
If an in person treatment does not feel safe at this time I will be leaving my online telehealth sessions open as well.

Ladies do you need a book recommendation?  If I could recomend only one book..this would be it !! Especially for women who are raising girls.

Two constant thoughts running through my head while reading were 'F*#*...if only I had known that sooner'... and 'holy S#*T ..that makes so much sense'

This book has completly changed how I understand and work with my cycle, and relate to my life.

Fun facts:
*did you know we have something called an infradium rhythm ? Which is a fancy way of saying we have 4 different cycles, over a 4ish week cycle, while men only have one 24 hr cycle? *Or that most diet and exercise regimes were only studied on men. 
And if we follow these plans at the wrong time of day,  or week in our cycle we increase cortisol. And that can impact our body, minds and hormones.. negatively? 🎉
It is astounding to realize how many common female complaints are fixable, but are more commonly down played , bandaided , or completely misunderstood . 
This books guides you to realize how to hack your cycle directly by what you do day to day. In simple easy to follow steps...instead of using birth control to mask the cause.

By understanding how each phase of the cycle differs we can now predictibly understand, harness and plan for the impact on our motivation, emotions, communication, metabolism, sleep, weight, skin, and sex life. It feels like I have been given a guide to harness this secret female super power that I didn't know I had.
Happy Earth day

Who is curious to see how different the earth will be after the pandemic. 
There are reports of record numbers of turtles being born, cleaner water, animals returning to their natural habitat.

There is no denying our impact.
How can we tread more lightly going forward?
