One year ago today I took this photo. We were on Maui and I fell in love. Ocean, beaches, meandering, flowers, coffee, walking, diving, poke, pineapple, turtles, humidity, whale songs, snorkeling, flow, and chickens everywhere.

High pony for work today - always ends up as high side pony! Not seen here are my sweet acid wash jeans...channeling my inner 80's style.

This exquisite custom candle in a vintage crystal dish is the perfect addition to the alter The scent is cedarwood, orange, and patchouli, which makes for a calming, but not too calming that you are going to pass out, earthy smell. I am absolutely in love with this blend and feel like the combination is amazing for reducing stress and anxiety while still maintaining clarity - perfect for meditation, creative writing, exams, introspection, and probably dipping a toe into ot...her realms! In Chinese Medicine the sense of smell is related to the Lungs and Large Intestines so this means that it helps to nourish the positive and realign any negative aspects relating to those organs especially the emotional - grief, sadness, righteousness, courage. Allowing space to 'let go'. Please take some time to check out @candleco.littlerituals for other blends and beautiful repurposed vintage goodies. And she does refills!! #shoplocal #yyc #yychealth #aromatherapy #healthy #healthyliving #centred #mindful #mindfully #grateful #selfcare #selflove #healing #tcm #chinesemedicine #relax #recharge #meditation #mindcalm

"The problem that we face in managing stress is that the stress reaction is more easily elicited than the relaxation response. ~ A stress reaction happens automatically, while the relaxation response must be purposefully sought and brought under control. ~ To control our stress we must engage in an intentional practice of creating the relaxation response." - from lessons4living.com A few intentional relaxation practices: acupuncture meditation... qi gong tai chi yin yoga massage hot bath cuddling breathing nature What else can you add to the list?? #acupuncture #cuppingtherapy #balance #tcm #chinesemedicine #relax #recharge #mindful

Fresh horseradish means potion crafting time! I love making Fire Cider! We use it not only through cold and flu season to help maintain a strong and healthy immune system, but year round to assist with digestive health as well! Fire cider is a folk recipe that has been passed on for many generations so there is not one recipe, but versions of it. I just put together 3 different batches with slightly different herbs and even some Chinese medicine herbs! Base ingredients:... Horseradish Onion Garlic Ginger Citrus fruits Hot peppers (jalapeno, habanero, serano) Peppercorns Thyme Rosemary Turmeric Apple cider vinegar Honey This year's additions include, but not all in the same batch: Schizandra berries Hawthorn berries Juniper berries Corriander Cinnamon Cloves Ginseng Astragalus Sage METHOD: Put everything together in a big jar or several smaller jars and make sure it's covered with the vinegar. I let mine sit for at least 8 weeks. Last batch I made I let it sit for 6 weeks, blended everything, let it sit for 2 more weeks, and then strained. Not sure if it made a difference but it sure made a mess. Remember to turn the jars every day to get all the lovely bits moving around. DOSE: Take 1 tbsp per day if feeling a bit "off", when you are sensing you might be getting sick or just as maintenance. Take up to 3 tbsp if you get sick. Can take straight up, add to a hot drink, salad dressing etc. Enjoy!! . . . . . #firecider #folkmedicine #earthmedicine #chinesemedicine #makeyourownmedicine #immunebooster #immunehealth #healthyliving #healthy #healthyvibes #holistic #acupuncture #acupuncturist #tcm #herbalmedicine #centred #grateful #growyourownmedicine #organic #loveyourself

A very good read on the importance of sleep for overall wellbeing but also on how it affects mood, weight, energy, memory, and so much more! Great tips like set an alarm to start getting ready for bed and use a separate blanket from your partner so you don't feel them move around as much! Brilliant! Hope you enjoy and sweet dreams!

I've been away. Not physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I've been preoccupied with getting 'set up' to re enter the workforce. Long days of physical labour to repaint, refloor, and rearrange so I can safely work again. I thought that this would make me feel more confident and in control, which it does, but only a bit. I am still unsure and confused about the future and how this will all play out. Here's what I have to keep reminding myself:... Go slow...take all the time you need and check in often to see how you're feeling. This is going to be a process of tuning and retuning. Simplify...we have just spent 2+ months simplifying, it might be overwhelming and scary to get back out there so don't rush to do more...simplify, do less, observe more. Breathe...you are doing great! Breathe. You've got this! Breathe. You know you best. Breathe.

Earth Day 2020 // Such an interesting time to be an earthling, don't you think? I am sure that we can all agree that the Earth and all of us earthlings are...going through some stuff right now. And even though change can be challenging for some and welcomed by others, there is a palatable level of un/comfortable un/certainty that the Earth will always be here for us. But it is clear that she is sending us some pretty big signs...getting in our face about how we go about occup...ying this miraculous space. And maybe we should take a look at how the Earth and nature has evolved in the few months that we have been isolating...oceans are clearer, habitats are being restored...imagine what could happen if we "deliberately" made choices that could better our planet. Imagine clean water, and clear air for every being. So for at least one day, today, may we all set aside some time to be truly thankful and grateful for the gifts given generously, unreservedly from the one, the only (in this galaxy at least), Mother Earth. Enjoy your day, earthlings. Yours in health and wellness, Jessy #acupuncture #mindcalm #mindful #nature #wellbeing #earthday2020 #earthday #gaia #motherearth

Let it burn!! I've been doing quite a bit of smudging recently to help clear the air in the house of all sorts of toxins...from environmental to germies to emotional! This is a ritual and a health practice that we can easily do on our own for our own health. The smell of a freshly smudged room is so relaxing and the act of burning and clearing the space is very therapeutic!... And yes, I smudge my smudge and crystals! Enjoy your day, lovelies.

"What is good for nature is good for humanity, what is good for one is good for all, what is good for the mind is good for the body... To harm a part is to harm the whole. What is bad for the heart is bad for the body, what damages one person damages all people, what injures the earth injures me. Conversely, to restore and preserve the good health of one body and mind is to foster the well-being of the whole, the earth, and all life upon it." -Beinfeld & Korngold, Between Hea...ven and Hearth Taoism is the foundation of Acupuncture and Asian Medicine and I don't think anyone will disagree with how interdependent and interconnected we all are after sitting for a moment with our current global situation.

my journey in limbo Feeling lots of feelings these days, guys!! It's weird, and wonderful, and scary, and kind of neat to be figuring some of this stuff out. I think by now we've all had a chance to settle in and settle down a bit which is important as we move forward with our new operating system. (I started to get this image the other day about the world having a massive reboot, so we had to power down and let the new system be installed.)... I am taking this time to really get to know myself and my body and realizing it is a process! The first few days of self-isolation was just resting and nourishing...I really didn't know how stressed my whole system was until I gave it the space to relax. I have been going to bed early and waking without an alarm. I am sleeping really well and feel rested when I get up, but I need about 9 hours of sleep. Before self-isolation I would get around 7 hours of light, restless sleep so never felt rested when I woke up. I exercise every day. I am listening to what my body needs and not pushing it to extremes...light cardio, strength training, core, stretching, Qi Gong. Paying attention to how my body feels with each movement and feeling it slowly grow stronger and happier. I eat when I am hungry. I wait to feel if I am actually hungry or if I am eating out of habit or if I'm bored. I am finding that I am not hungry at the times I used to think I was, so am making the most of meals, eating healthier and taking my time to eat mindfully. I am not stress eating...I did this a lot before! My digestion is so much better these days! These are just some of the basics...and I'm not saying this has been easy, but I am pretty grateful to be able to take this in stride and really get back to the basics of who I am at my core and how to care for myself. Through these actions I am evolving and growing...eventually I will be able to pass this energy on to all of you...my clients, friends, and family to support YOU on your healing journey.
