Natural Bath Soak

Published December 7, 2019 by tindertender

Boiled Cedar, Wild Sage, and Lavender flower. I let it simmer for a time and then strained the product. I added the entire pot to my bath water (most likely a bit much) and slept more soundly than I have in awhile.

I will finish harvesting the cedar bows my father gifted me. Next summer I’ll harvest more Lavender flower and store with my Wild Sage specifically for the purpose of creating a soaking concoction for bathing.

I had no idea how good this would feel, or that is was even a thing. I was all about epsom salts, or sea salt, or magnesium flakes before. HA … these do not even come close in comparison as far as a relaxing bath additive.

Thank you Toni, wife to Chief Charlie, Blue Clan. I love you with all my heart! I am bringing you a jar of this juice and some Elderberry syrup also. I will be bringing the gifts I did not bring when I wasn’t able to make it to the elder party too, so whoever shows up is going to get some.

Love, love, love …. today feels like a good day to be happy. ❤️

Box Breathing

Published December 5, 2019 by tindertender

Hypercapnia = increase level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in blood⁣

More CO2 = more stimulation of vagus nerve and depression of sympathetic neurons = you can fall asleep faster⁣.

How do you get more CO2 without taping a paper bag to your mouth at night?⁣

It’s easy… follow the diagram!⁣

Inhale for 4⁣
Hold for 6⁣
Exhale for 6⁣
Hold for 6⁣

Repeat!⁣

Having more time spent not-inhaling allows you to build up CO2 safely!⁣

Xalos@Turnoxyde says, “Box breathing is a very effective tool! Put it into your tool box of consciousness and create a better reality for yourself and others.”

Trying To Be Good

Published December 5, 2019 by tindertender

I’m trying to be good, to ignore what I see and feel. To not talk of it. To pretend the reality I see coming … isn’t.

Oh how difficult it is to be a good girl.
