What comes up for you when you think of offering yourself gentleness?
I think for many of us, we don't feel time for things like slowness, soothing, gentleness, tenderness, caretaking our own selves.
We're often preoccupied with any number of other roles and responsibilities in life, and as women and folks with wombs, we've often been socialized to place ourselves at the bottom rung of importance.
Even when we DO have time to tend to ourselves, we often choose distraction or stimulating activity over quiet self time that truly offers our own bodies, hearts, minds and spirits a form of gentleness.
Many of us don't even believe we deserve that. It's just something we give, not something we receive.
I want to shift the frame around all of this and turn the mirror onto you and invite you to explore what gentleness can look like and feel like in your own life.
What herbs may be supportive for you to release tension in your tissues, or soften what feels hard, or soothe and calm your mood and mind?
And what other practices are available to you that you could easily incorporate into your daily or weekly or monthly routine to help you soothe and tend yourself?
In today's episode, I invite you to consider what a "gentleness practice" could look like and feel like for you -- and encourage you to make your own "gentleness in a bottle" tincture with some of the herbs that help to calm, soothe and nurture your unique needs.
Listen to learn:
- what a gentleness practice could mean for you
- herbs to soothe tension in your tight tissues and achy muscles
- herbs to soften and moisten your GI, vaginal and urinary tract
- herbs to calm your mood and mind
- my favorite herbal oil to use for belly massage (+ why belly massage matters)
- several simple practices you can adapt into your OWN gentleness practice
- a song to include in or inspire your gentleness practice :)
