#1 Mineral Mocktails

I love these because they really do boost my energy. I binged a women’s health podcast, “Are you Menstrual” and have been learning all kinds of things, like with every pregnancy you LOSE 10% of your mineral status (whaaaaaat?!). The episode on Minerals and your Nervous System was especially interesting.

My current fave mocktail to beat the afternoon energy slump is:

• 8 oz Harmless Harvest coconut water (this brand is expensive, but it is the most delicious IMHO. If you don't want to splurge, Trader Joes brand has an affordable one that is 100% coconut water with no added sugar/gums)
• Sprinkle of Redmond Real Salt​
• Drizzle of raw honey
• 1 Lime, juiced
• Splash of Lakewood Pure Cranberry Juice (not from concentrate)
• Optional: Aussie Trace Mineral Drops (I add 10) + 1 scoop of magnesium glycinate powder​

I also like to drink one first thing in the morning that’s a bit simpler:

• 1 1/2 T. Earth Circle Coconut Water Powder
• 1 lime juiced
• Sprinkle of Redmond Real Salt
• Optional: Aussie Trace Mineral Drops

#2 Lymphatic drainage every morning + night

Would you like me to do a video on this??

This has been my refuge on busy days and has been a sort of meditation for me. It doesn’t take that long to do, but it always brings me back to my body and leads me to a big sigh or exhale, which feels much needed and enjoyable.

What’s your favorite song?

#4 Eye Masks

I put these babies in the refrigerator so they are a nice cool wake-up for tired eyes in the morning. I wear them every. Single. Day.

My fave brand: Grace and Stella ​

The best deal: 24K Gold Eye Masks (what I’m currently using, but they’re a bit cheaper so sometimes break)

#5 Learning about “fun” things

• I love me some “parts” work. It’s been instrumental in my relationship with myself and being kinder and more understanding toward myself and how I’m triggered. I’ve also been enjoying incorporating it into client work and Your Energetic Signature readings. No Bad Parts is a wonderful book that was an entryway into parts work for me. To dig more into it, I recently completed a 25-hour training with the IFS Institute that had some fun and creative meditations and inner explorations.

​

• Embodied Organ-realm work: I had a rare opportunity to take an 8-session adventure into the organ realm with Ashley Stinson of Energy Archaeology (I love her oracle deck and use it in all of my Energetic Signature readings!). Although I found myself falling asleep during many of the sessions (haha!), it was nice to be on the receiving end of energy work.

​

• Cranial Sacral Therapy: I signed up for a cranial sacral therapy training at the end of May. Ever since graduate school, I’ve been drawn to find ways to “do” hands on healing. I went through Reiki and Access Consciousness Energy trainings, but they never fully resonated. When my bff mentioned a cranial sacral training was coming to KC from the Upledger Institute, I jumped on board! I just started the “pre-course” coursework and am excited at the possibilities this work could bring healing and connection to my community. I’m trying not to have any expectations, but that’s hard!

So there’s my update on what I’ve been doing and loving lately. I’d love to hear what you’re currently eating up (figuratively and literally!).

Cheers, Abby

PS If your allergies are bothering you, I tried this "wild" natural cold/allergy remedy that I swear has helped a ton. If you're adventurous enough to try it (it's got garlic, ACV, and some other spicy ingredients), I am hopeful it will help you, too! I didn't actually pour the liquid into ice cubes. Instead, I keep it in the fridge and generously pour it into a mug with a TON of local honey, warm water and a sprinkle of, you guessed it, Redmond's Real Salt. None of these are affiliate links, I just really like them :)
