Welcome to A Cup of Tea & Jams — a podcast that is full of life musings, the plant medicine, and music. Today I am sharing revelations about quieting the mind, listening to the body, flowing with as much grace as I can since it is eclipse season during this month of August. I lift up:
- Wisdom I received from writer Cole Arthur Riley about the trauma of disembodiment and what it means to truly be in our bodies
- My own journey to quiet my mind to become more attuned with my body
- How eclipse season is a great time to get in touch with what you are feeling
- How lemon balm and a few other herbal allies can be a great nervous system support during this time
