Wellness is a Journey…
So often we think of wellness as something to be achieved. We just need to lose 10 lbs first. We need to lower our cholesterol first. We need to start journaling first.
That’s not quite how wellness works though, is it? Wellness is an ongoing journey. Just because you are well today, that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be well tomorrow. It requires maintenance. And this applies to all aspects of wellness, not just physical health.
A Mindful Morning Routine: Starting Your Day with Positive Energy
We’ve all seen them- TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. They’re everywhere you look. “My Perfect Morning Routine,” “The It Girl Morning Routine,” “My Morning Routine for Productivity,” etc. Every influencer out there wants to show you how they start their day. And that’s great. Cool. I’m glad they have a routine that works for them.
But what about the rest of us?
Exploring Consciousness: Mushrooms For Mindfulness
There were about 40 of us in total. We all passed our cups to the front to be filled with what she estimated was a .5-1g dose. Then she had us sit with our cups for a few minutes before consuming our tea. We smelled it and examined its color. We studied our mugs and contemplated why we chose that particular one. Then we discussed how many people had to handle that mug and the materials that made it before it got to us. And then we drank our tea.
Yoga for the Sacral Chakra
Today we’re going to be working through a sequence to balance the sacral chakra. When balanced, the sacral chakra brings joy and creativity into our lives. It helps keep us at our optimal weight and maintain a healthy sex drive. We’ll start by closing our eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Let’s set our intention for this practice. I’m confident. I’m creative. I love myself as I am.
Yoga for the Root Chakra
Today we’re going to be working through a sequence to balance the root chakra. The root chakra is associated with our basic needs as human beings. When it’s balanced, we feel secure and confident. It brings a sense of inner stillness and a feeling of being connected to the universe. We’re going to start by closing our eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Let’s set our intention for today’s practice. I am safe. I am strong. The Universe provides everything that I need.
Happy Bicycle Day!
Bicycle Day is an informal holiday celebrated by the psychonaut and plant-based medicine communities. It takes place annually on April 19th to commemorate the first intentional LSD trip. Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann first discovered the psychedelic effects of LSD while working on ergot alkaloids at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland.
Updates & The Solar Eclipse
Hello everyone! Posting is going to be a little different this week and next, so I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up as to what to expect. Those of us here at Mystical Moxie are going to be attending the Missouri Eclipse Festival this weekend. The festival is centered around holistic wellness and sustainability, so we’re going to spend the weekend learning all kinds of new things to share with you all.
Herbs in the Kitchen: Thyme
Thyme is a commonly used culinary herb. You might sprinkle it on your chicken or use it to make a marinade. It’s also a key component of Italian seasoning. But did you know that thyme also had healing properties? In fact, you’ve probably used it medicinally before.
Creating a Gratitude Journal
I want you to take a minute and think about the thoughts you have each day. How many of them are positive? How many are negative? How many just keep playing over and over on repeat until you think you’ll go mad?
What is Reality Shifting?
Imagine you could write a script detailing another reality and then wake up in that life at will. Even better, you can return to your previous reality at will, with only a prescribed amount of time having passed. Proponents of a practice known as “reality shifting” claim to be able to do just that.
I Made Mushroom Tea and Read It Like Tea Leaves
Have you ever been sitting at your kitchen table with a glass full of lemon tek and thought to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be fun to read these mushrooms like tea leaves while I’m tripping?” Haha. Yeah. Me neither… Really though, that’s basically what happened.
It’s Been a Year Already?
So you might have noticed that I’ve been gone for a while. The past couple of months have been just one thing after another. I was starting to feel very overwhelmed and getting burnt out.
