Shaking is one of the BEST ways to help your body process stress!! . Animals use it reflexively to help them physically process a stressful event. . It’s a natural neurological way to prevent mental and emotional stress from being stored in your body. ... . SO SHAKE IT OUT SISTER!!! . Don’t hold it in!!! . Holding it in only lets it fester and could it come out worse later. . Being one with your body and allowing it to do what it needs to for it’s well being isn’t always pretty. - in fact it’s #primal and #weird. . You are a living creature who’s been trained to ignore your body’s ugly, weird, primitive processes and that could be a major reason why you’re struggling with any chronic condition! . Shaking has gotten me through SO many stressful situations and I swear it’s one of the most efficient tools to keep your body, mind and spirit healthy. . SHAKE IT BABY!!! . . . #shakeitout #primalhealth #getugly #beweird #shaking #holistichealth #mindbody See more

What. A. Year. . 2020 was chock full of obstacles, lessons, awakenings and opportunities for transformation. . The process of growth and change isn’t always pretty. In fact, it usually is pretty ugly... kind of primal. And 2020 was ugly in many ways. ... . So after the heartache, after the tears, after the ugly, there’s an opportunity to be transformed. An opportunity to let the ugly, hard, challenging moments be a catalyst for a shift. A shift from hate and separation to love and acceptance. A shift from individuality to community. . Many things needed to shift and 2020 was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak. Except it wasn’t a straw, it was a bag of bricks!! . Sending you lots of love and support as you embrace and allow all the transformation that 2020 has sparked . Let’s not go back to the way things were, and instead, let’s transform together. Let the shifts alter us and embrace the unknown . . . #embracetheunknown #happynewyear2021 #covidnewyear #transformation #letlovelead #newbeginnings See more

Goodbye Fall and Hello Winter!! . Even though Fall is my #favoriteseason I love winter. . A time to slow down, get cozy and #gowithin. A time to be quiet. To fall in love with the bare minimum. ... . 2020 has sure been an opportunity to slow down and go within. Try to take it one step deeper and get in touch with the deepest, coldest, darkest parts of yourself. It is there that you’ll discover true freedom. . Looking and spending time with the dark side sheds light on it. And without the dark, there is no light. . . #winterishere #femalestrength #shadowwork #slowdown #sandiegowinter See more

‘‘Tis the time to drink out of your favorite Xmas mug! . Yep, this good Jewish girl loves her Santa mug . #itsthelittlethings ... . Do you have a favorite mug or other seasonal thing you only bring out in December? . I’ve got a couple more in my arsenal which you’ll just have to wait and see as December rolls on.... . Allow yourself to indulge at least a little this holiday season. With the whole pandemic I know it can be challenging, so finding little things like this make a huge difference in my mood . . It will for you too!! . . . #holidayspirit #cozymorning #santamug #bringthejoy #happyfatman See more

Congrats to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!!! . As a woman, this moment is historic. Having not only a woman, but a woman of color in the White House is huge! . To all the young women of the world, know that you can do and be anything you want. ... . #tearsofjoy stream down my face as I take it all in... . . . #glassceiling #shatteredglassceiling #bosslady #bossbabe #vup See more

Nothing like a good cup of tea. And in my favorite mug. . A cup of goodness. . A cup of herbal tea daily can have soooo many amazing effects on your body and mind. Pick a tea and gift yourself 20 minutes of nothingness to do nothing but sit quietly and enjoy your tea. ... . Taking the time to simply be with yourself doing nothing.... and simply BEING. Being with yourself and life in the present moment is one of the most productive things you can do. . Productive you ask? YES!! Just not in the way you’ve likely been trained to see productivity. . Doing nothing is productive for your health, both mentally and physically. The ability to be fully present in the moment is a skill that needs to be practiced. . So take the time my dear to make yourself a cup of tea and just sit. Look at the tea, taste the tea, feel the warm cup in your hands and savor the moment. . You deserve it. . . . #savorthemoment #healingtea #happymoments #happycup #amomentofsilence #selfcare #alonetime #ilovetea See more
