Ayurveda teaches that a woman’s pleasure isn’t Ayurveda teaches that a woman’s pleasure isn’t indulgent. It’s medicinal. When a woman is connected to her sensuality, her nervous system softens, her hormones regulate and her life force (ojas) nourishes not just her body, but her relationships, her family and the spaces she inhabits.⁠
⁠
Pleasure is how the feminine restores, regulates and returns to wholeness. When pleasure is suppressed, imbalance ripples outward.⁠

Heart-Opening Winter Elixir Recipe 👇🏼🌹❤ Heart-Opening Winter Elixir Recipe 👇🏼🌹❤️‍🔥🌿

The post-holidays can be a season of both connection and grief. In February, we’re calling in deep, soulful, love. And real love starts with a connection to your very own heart.

This absolutely goddess-worthy elixir features skullcap, damiana and rose to gently open the subtle heart center and get you through waves of beauty, bliss and everything in-between.

🌹Skullcap: Think soothing, stress relief and relaxation. This nervine is an emotional balance supporter and helps restore the functioning of the nervous system.

🌹Damiana: This aphrodisiac helper pairs well with skullcap for relaxation while also giving a little boost to mood and digestion.
 
🌹Rose: Associated with the heart chakra, rose is said to help heal a broken heart and enhance feelings of self-love and emotional balance.

Here’s how to make the elixir:

~ 1/4 cup dried skullcap
~ 1/4 cup dried damiana
~ 1/4 cup dried rose petal
~ A few cinnamon sticks
~ 1 T gently crushed cardamom pods
~ 1 T gently crushed star anise
~ 1 T gently crushed cloves
~ An orange peel
~ 1/2 cup honey
~ Brandy to cover 

Add all ingredients to a clean mason jar. Cover completely with brandy (push down everything in the jar so that it’s below the liquid). Place a piece of parchment paper between the lid and the jar to prevent any transfer from the lid or vice versa. Shake daily, storing in a cool place for about a month.

Enjoy in small servings as a healing tonic for your heart. ❤️🍯

February is a threshold month in Ayurveda (in the February is a threshold month in Ayurveda (in the Northern Hemisphere). We’re still carrying winter’s cold, heavy and vata-provoking qualities, especially if you’re vata-dominant or living in a colder climate, but the body also starts asking for a little bit of clearing as kapha slowly begins to rise. 

It’s time for bitter + warming foods: cleansing without shocking the system. Think warm, cooked, spiced, and slightly bitter.

If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere you’re going to want to follow the “summer” guidelines – check out our blog for tons of resources to support you!

Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner Trying to have a healing dialogue with your inner child for the first time ever. 🫠

Healing isn’t a one-and-done conversation where you say the right thing and suddenly your inner child doesn’t have trust or abandonment issues anymore (wouldn’t that be nice!? 💔🔥)  

Healing is a relationship.

It’s about slowly (sometimes awkwardly 😉) and lovingly, befriending the parts of you that were ignored, rushed, shamed or quietly kicked out of your own heart.

The tender parts of you don’t open because you said something “right.”

They open because you stayed.

Because you didn’t leave when it felt uncomfortable, even though that first conversation may have felt a little cringe ;) Drop me a line below if you know exactly what I’m talking about. 🫀❤️‍🔥🦋💫
