Do you listen to your natural rhythms? I’ve become passionate about reconnecting to this wisdom, coming from someone who neglected rest and felt frustrated when I couldn’t accomplish tasks in my unrealistic timelines. Every day we are in a flow controlled by the Sun and Moon. We can check in with this flow of energy by observing which nostril we are breathing through. When the right nostril is active, energy is flowing through the Sun channel (Pingala Nadi): -heating, may show up as anger or aggression -sympathetic nervous system is active -best time to eat -better for physical energy or highly concentrated mental tasks (think calculations) When the left nostril is active, energy is flowing through the Moon channel (Ida Nadi): -cooling & calming -parasympathetic nervous system is active -better for creative mental tasks -any important relationships or ventures should be started while we are experience this cooling, feminine energy I hope this helps you to stay in the flow today! 🌕 ☀️ #yoga #hathayoga #spirituality #wellness #energy #subtlebody #prana

I’m still learning where earth medicines assist my spiritual path. There was a period where I thought practicing yoga asanas and pranayama was everything. I imagined that using substances was a shortcut or a detriment to my practice. My first Kambo ceremony led to one of the most dramatic shifts in my life. I went for months feeling burnt out, exhausted, achy, and depressed. The day after the ceremony I was excited to greet the day, filled with energy, literally seeing the world in more vibrant colors. According the classic texts on Hatha Yoga, purification is the first step of our practice. I was not arriving to my mat in a healthy body when I felt the call to sit with Kambo. A healthy body is needed to support a healthy mind, and a healthy mind is needed to reached an enlightened state. Kambo is the medicine taken from the giant monkey tree frog who resides in the Amazon jungle. Taking this secretion from another animal means that our body integrates the medicinal compounds (peptides) as our own. This medicine helps us to recover the balance that has been disrupted by a toxic lifestyle. Kambo helps us to remember our natural state of being. #kambo #ceremony #earthmedicine #amphibianmedicine #plantmedicine #healing #yoga #spirituality #wellness

The oldest creosote bush colony dates back 11,700 years. To me, this plant is the epitome of resilience and healing that the Sonoran Desert embodies. The leaves and stems can be used to treat burns, cuts, and snakebites, pain and inflammation, fevers, respiratory problems, digestive issues, and have cancer fighting properties. I feel blessed to live surrounded by this bush. After a rainfall, the air is filled with the smell of creosote bushes. It is always a reminder to me that the desert will survive the drought and a season always comes where life will thrive again. #herbalism #grownostr #plantmedicine #plantmagic #herbs
