Mind-Body Practices for Pain
“Mind-Body Practices for Pain” Integrative health shines in this area, and there are many approaches that help lower pain and stress. Here, I describe how the mind and body are one – our thoughts and emotions can affect the body, and the body can affect the mind. The stress response, known as the “fight, flight, or freeze” response can create or exacerbate tension and pain in the body. The relaxation response, known as the “rest and digest” response may help reduce pain. I share five mind-body practices that may lower pain and prevent conditions that may lead to pain, such as: 1. Guided Imagery 2. Yoga 3. Massage and Bodywork…

How to Live Intuitively
I was recently interviewed by Scarlett V Clark from the Smart Girl Tribe about “How to Live Intuitively and Follow Your Gut When Making Life Changing Decisions.” You can listen to on podcast platforms, such as ApplePodcasts, Stitcher, or Here. Description: “For a long time I have been living intuitively, before eating I ask myself what does my body want? I ditched my alarm in the morning so my body can guide how much sleep it needs and I have let my body decide what exercise I should be carrying out every day even if that means every morning for weeks I do yoga rather than running or a hit…

Full Moon in Aquarius
The moon, from the lens of astrology, represents home, mother, how we nurture and what makes us feel safe, emotions, needs, the subconscious, women, feminine or yin energy, and intuition. Aquarius is related to humanity, bringing “power to the people”, the collective consciousness, technology, revolution, and being on the forward edge. It is symbolically known as “the water bearer” who pours water for the Gods. Although, it is considered an air sign that is related to thought, mental activity, and communication. This full moon may relate to these areas of your life. Notice how you feel today and the surrounding couple of days before and after this full moon. Your…

Intuitive Cards
In addition to meditation, one of the first ways I learned how to listen to and trust my intuition was through making intuitive cards, also known as symbolic cards or innie cards. Intuitive cards are a tool to help you connect with your intuition so you can focus on, strengthen, and trust what you already feel and know within yourself. They can help you dial in to truth more quickly and cut through emotions or projections that may limit you from fully sensing your intuition. They provide visual images and words reflected back to you from your own soul that may make it easier for you to see what your…
