Wild Nettle Harvest Check out the videos to learn about one of my favourite Spring Herbs & Superfoods that I always look forward to picking and consuming. Net...tle can be enjoyed as an herbal tea or as a vegetable! Thanks to @denismanzer of @forageyourfood for a great afternoon out in Nature enjoying the bounty Have you ever harvested Nettles? Do you use gloves or just embrace the warm, fuzzy tingle that comes to your fingertips and hands when picking?

Spruce tips are out! 6 ways to enjoy spruce tips Delicious as is - enjoy a light, uplifting, lemony-like treat right off the tree Make tea ... Ferment them to create pickled spruce tips Spruce tip honey - fill a jar with spruce tips, cover with honey, place on lid, turn and burp jar every day for a week... strain and enjoy! Spruce tip salt - combine spruce tips and salt, let sit and dry out, then grind together Spruce tip vinegar - I fuse spruce tips in vinegar by covering spruce tips in vinegar in a jar and let sit at least a week or two, strain and enjoy What a wonderfully abundant and delicious wild food you can pick and enjoy! Any other uses you have for spruce tips that you enjoy? What will you make this year? Let me know in comments below...

Balance tip! Lay comfortably in a quiet space with your legs elevated to calm your stress hormones & enjoy this balancing meditation

Feeling a little uncertain or fearful in these unprecedented times? If so you aren’t alone. It's natural to be in a state of fear, but we have the ability to m...ove our nervous system from the fight/flight state through breathing and meditation into a different state or vibration. There have been major changes in the earth's magnetic resonance (the Shumann Resonance with all of the chaos and there will be a global meditation tonight at 8:45pm MST to help downshift the fear and create positive change in this current chaotic situation we are all living in. Ummm ok good in theory right but sounds kinda hokey? If you are anything like me, you like to understand the why so let me explain some of the science behind why this is happening. There are three key concepts to understand why a mass meditation can work: 1.Meditation: When we meditate, our brain goes from an beta state (logical, list check get things done) down to an alpha state (creativity art, music, woodwork flows in this state its when you feel in ‘the zone’). While in alpha state we can easily connect to our higher self or that part of you that has the inner knowing, sometimes called intuition. While in this state, we can consciously raise our vibration. We can also positively and negatively influence the planet’s magnetic field as measured by the Heart Math Institute (https://www.heartmath.org/research/global-coherence/) depending on our energetic state. This concept is also known as global coherence. 2.Heart Rate Variability (HRV): originally it was thought that our heart beats at continuous, repeatable intervals what we know now due to heart rate machines is that our heart can be quite erratic especially under times of stress and fear. Human physiological rhythms and behaviors are synchronized with solar and geomagnetic activity, so fluctuations in the earth and sun’s magnetic fields can affect virtually every circuit in human as well as any biological systems. Changes in the earth’s magnetic field have been shown to affect human heart rhythms and have been associated with the following: changes in brain and nervous-system activity; athletic performance, memory and other tasks; mortality from heart attacks and strokes; and incidence of depression and suicide. 3. Global Coherence: Global Coherence Monitoring is used to collect a variety of data, information about Earth’s magnetic field and how it affects and is influenced by human emotions and behaviors. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) is state-of-the-art sensing technology to observe changes in the earth’s magnetic field around the world including one located in our back yard in Alberta. Some of what the institute has proved is every person affects the global information field and collective human consciousness affects the global information field. Therefore, large numbers of people creating heart-centered states of care, love and compassion will generate a more coherent field environment that can benefit others and help offset the current planetary discord and incoherence (https://www.heartmath.org/research/global-coherence/)) So if you get a large group of people together, you can create global coherence (as well as individual coherence as measured by HRV). Meditate tonight to improve you own state of being but also as a collective, change the current energetic state of the planet. Sign up for the meditation here http://www.globalpeacemeditation.com/.
