Women are held back by caring about praise.
“Learning to Love Criticism,” by Tara Mohr from The New York Times.
Appreciating these words as I launch my own business and build my clinical practice. At the end of the day, I know that my self-esteem is my most inexhaustible resource. When I the ‘other’ voices tell me I’m an imposter, I say, “No, I was born this way.”
Mexican Herbal Drinking Chocolate
This Samhain I was inspired to craft a drink that would warm the spirit, ground and root our energy, and bring an air of relaxed euphoria to the evening. Samhain is typically graced with the potions and brews of the harvest season that are so familiar to us of European ancestry: cider, mulled wine, and mead. However, in Mexico it is customary to consume drinking chocolate for Dia de los Muertos, another co-occuring holiday of honoring our ancestors past.
Adipositivity
Q: Have you ever felt shamed by the person person who was meant to care for you?
I believe it is my responsibility as a healthworker to challenge the cultural bias of ‘obesity.’ For my fellow caretakers, medical herbalist Paul Bergner, offers these five insights for us to consider:
Release your minds conditioning towards ‘fat shaming’ and ‘weight stigmatization’
Weight stigmatizaiton is a form of oppression that justifies the mental, verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse of ‘the Other.’ Understand that each person is an individual, unique and different from yourself.
Educate yourself on the social underpinnings of ‘obesity,’ including agribusiness and academic elitism.
The metabolic nature of obesity
Dismantle one’s personal insecurities around weight and body image.
Samhain & Scorpio: Reflections from the New Moon
Samhain is a holiday, or sabbat, during which we celebrate the harvest and honor the dead who have passed on. We lay the earth to rest and with it our loved ones, who have also returned to the fertile soil that continues to give us life.
A fitting season in which to celebrate the dead, Scorpio as a water sign rules the most intimate and alchemical of human experiences. Obsession, horror, and ecstacy... these emotions reside in the transformative and magnetic dominion of Scorpio. We are plunged into the chaos and revelation of sex, death, and rebirth.
A new moon in Scorpio asks us to take pause and sit with the pain and discomfort of our deepest woundings. This is not to relive them, but to live through them. We carry the psychic wounds of our ancestors as well as our own. This genetic memory can cause us to wonder at hurts that feel so familiar and for which we have no memory of. Our ancestor’s blood flows through us, and so do their scars.

-From Lenny, by Amy Kellner
By: Samantha Zipporah
“There is immense power in the integrity of my fertility whether or not I desire to create a baby. Being aware of the nuanced phases of my cycle not only helps me avoid or achieve the conception of human life in my womb, it connects me to the rhythmic nature of divine creative energy and the opportunity to thrive in harmony with it.
I experience and respect my cycle as a micro of the macrocosm of all Creation.”
There is so much to say about boundaries and how foundational they are for our sense of self. In this post, I'll focus mainly on the relationship between our self-worth and our ability to set healt...
By: Bethany Webster
“You are your own treasure. You belong to You.
Having healthy boundaries involves being connected to your worth, being anchored to your own center of truth, and being willing to communicate with those around you authentically. It's a skill that can be learned, practiced and refined over time. When starting out it may seem scary but each time it gets easier and more empowering. Over time, we start attracting more and more people that that are willing to respect our new, healthy boundaries. The ones who are unwilling to do so will pass out of your life.
When we have healthy boundaries, we feel increasingly safe and supported within ourselves and we also become more effective at everything we do.”
___________________________________________________________
Questions to contemplate on boundaries:
In what ways am I giving myself away?
What am I taking in that I should be refusing?
In what ways was I rewarded for having weak boundaries as a child?
What are some current opportunities in my life to start setting healthy boundaries?
What do I need to say No to, so that I can more effectively live out my "Yes" to the things I truly desire?
Part of having healthy boundaries is respecting those of others. Are there any ways I am violating the boundaries of others?
Breathing with Entropy
Your wild body knows how to give birth. There is an animal in you that cannot be tamed; an indomitable spirit that is ever connected to Source. The necessity of this connection also brings us the grace to heal ourselves and others. The journey from and to source is destructive and implicit of growth. Our pain is natural, good, and needed to know ourselves.
The British medical system says healthy women with normal pregnancies should give birth at home or in a midwife-led facility. But 99 percent of babies in the U.S. are born in hospitals.
A recent recommendation from doctors in the United Kingdom raised eyebrows in the United States: The British National Health Service says healthy women with straightforward pregnancies are better off staying out of the hospital to deliver their babies.
