The Medicine we need 🌈 The most magical Sunset Rainbow tonight, over the Sea, the Apple Tree in bloom... I wanted to share this Medicine, transmission, with you all. Rainbows mean so many things to each of us & symbolize so much. There is of course the Rainbow prophecy. I know many of us have been seeing them more, and more the last few years 💚 The day my Dad unexpectedly transitioned there was a Rainbow in the Western Door. For many of us Rainbows hold so much symbolism, memories, medicine... I had a dream many years ago now that has stayed with me. A reminder. I was out in a crowded city... everyone suddenly looked up, stopped, were pointing... I felt my Heart sank. What terrible thing are they seeing? Where are we headed as humanity? I looked up, it was the most beautiful Rainbow. Everyone saw. Truly saw. Everyone was open to the beauty of the moment & we were connected, together, and with Creation. The Earth. Spirit. Actual Harmony. I know these are fluffy & beautiful words. But it's moments like this that hold me, help me keep going, and give me hope for us.

Which are your faves?

Presence is the Medicine 🌊 Is the antidote to disconnection. Life, our own Hearts, are asking for presence. {words shared in 2022, calling again ~ perhaps it will hold some of you too} This mantra has been playing for me for months ~ presence being an anchor 💚 Present to the Beauty of Life. Present to the pain & physical discomfort of longing. Regret. Present to joy that comes unexpectedly as well as to the tears… Presence to who we are becoming, who we are while transmuting, alchemizing, the grief. Presence. I think it is part of what makes grieving, bereavement, ‘healing’ extra challenging in this col0nial overculture. There are many pulls for attention. It can further disconnect us from all that is. The goal of these systems, is just that. Disconnect from ourselves, our bodies, our attention, the Land, one another, Water. And this isn’t to say there isn’t connection & beauty w/in modern tech, I believe there can be too. But the more isolated & disconnected we are, the more *distracted,* the easier it is to manipulate, to sell, to fill with things that further disconnect. To feel hopeless. To forget the beauty that exists here too. In a Sunrise, in the mist, or a bird song. In the Flowers blooming, in the fragrance of rain. When we are with the Land or Water, in awe, watching a Sunrise, singing to the Stars, putting our children to bed, planting Seeds, fishing w kin, Medicine making, feeling the textures of lichen ~ we are present. Senses enlivened. Kinship strengthened. We don’t know when a grief wave will arise. They can be unpredictable. I have found that I can be present. It isn’t always easy to move slowly, to be present to it all. Holding the grief, my Heart, anger, longing, frustration, fear, with gentleness. Compassion. Just. Letting it have space & being. {sounds peaceful, but, that doesn’t mean it always looks or feels peaceful ~ it may be sobbing or screaming in a safe place} The Plants, the Ocean, have taught me so much about being with my grief. About being present to my emotions, to my body, myself 🌊✨ Letting compassion & gentleness lead the way back to ourselves. To our Hearts. To presence✨

Magnolia Medicine holding us through these shifts 🌸 Beautiful Magnolia, bursting forth with Cosmic wisdom. Doesn’t it seem like we are all enamoured with them? Their blooms a sign of Spring, hope. Their Medicine bringing joy, Heart expansion, a sense of renewal after a long Winter. Embodying Beauty, fertility {creativity} & reminders that we too will Bloom in time. Maybe we are all enamoured as they remind us of these Ancient connections? Understanding origins. How to navigate massive change & be here. Earth time. They are one of the oldest Flowers, evolving 50-95+ million years ago. Existing alongside Dinosaurs, before the Bees. They've seen transformations. They've witnessed emergence, creative explosions, new species walk this Earth. They embody the Beauty that is the bittersweetness of being here, existing. They hold patterns of integrating our past selves. Supporting us through transformation, honouring all versions, all iterations of who we have been & who we are. Holding nostalgia & compassion for all of who we are, mistakes we’ve made,adversities we’ve overcome, pain, joy, heartbreak, decisions that led us here - in this exact moment in time, to be who we are. Honoring past & current relationships. Instead of regret for roads not taken, Magnolia helps us remember self compassion. They remind us we are on the right path, surrounded by Beauty. We *can* trust ourselves, thank past versions & integrate those parts of ourselves into wholeness, now. Supporting us in closing chapters with compassionate love & grace, to be present & here in our most aligned self. Magnolia is balancing to the sacral energy centers, or womb {all gender} space. Bringing healing. They evolved to be pollinated by Beetles,with special ways to support & protect Life, to regenerate. They hold this Medicine. They may help clear any stuck heat or bogginess that may cause irritability, frustration, heaviness or feeling stuck. Helping us to connect w our creativity & show up. You can find the Flower Essence on Xálish Medicines ✨ Magnolia Oxymel {a fave!} will be back in the Spring Medicine update {date likely May 31st!} 🍯

Taurus Season #mood this Venus Day 🌸🌷 I couldn't choose my fave, 5, 10 & esp 14 have been most prominent lately 💚 Lmk which one you felt most today in the comments 💐 2 Nap memes included for obvious reasons, anyone else always up for a little nap? 🌷 We're all holding & moving through so much, some more than others ~ many are in it in so many ways, physical flares coming up. Burnout. Tender Hearts {understatement}. The Trees in Bloom have been a really sweet balm for my Heart, maybe yours too? Sending lots of love, kin. May this Taurus season remind us of the beauty that's here too, that we fight for. The Love. May we receive some ease in our bodies + beings. I'm working on the big Spring update {coming May 31st!} & pouring lots of love in each of the Medicines for us. If today feels hard, I hope you're able to find a moment to connect with the Plants, the Land, some Trees in Bloom, a loved ones laugh, an old song that brings you home to yourself, your own Heart & be held, xo 🩵🌿

What if we listened to Indigenous voices as a way of tending to the Earth? 💚 What if we listened to the Earth, the Water, our more than human kin? What if we tended to one another & our own bodies, extensions of the Land, as a way of honouring the Earth? Earth day was founded in the 60s, we've been here since time immemorial. Beyond green washing, what if we truly committed to our relationship with the Land, and one another? To repairing 🌼🌊 Through our daily actions + habits, our entire way of being. Seeing so many kin, their work, centered around relationships ~ with the Land, with one another, with themselves. My Heart fills with so much love for you all. Extra love to all the lovers of the Earth today too, the stewards, caregivers. The ones reclaiming, remembering & doing the actual work that really isn't so "instagrammable" much of the time. Beyond Earth day. I share often about our relationship with the Earth. The Land has saved me many times & shown me my path, how to be a good relative here. The Land has also taught me about forgiveness & accountability too. Growing up I didn't really 'fit.' I was bullied & things were sometimes difficult at home. The Land held me, Sandstone & Sagebrush. Cottonwood. I heard the Plants speaking from a young age. These kinships literally keep us here... remind us to keep going. Today I'm just giving gratitude for this Earth that we all have in common. Land connects us. Water connects us all. How are we truly showing up? For ourselves too. How are we protecting what is sacred here, including one another, kin we've never met... today, I hope you are able to go to the Land, your own bodies & Spirit included, and just listen 💚🌼

The answer has always been returning to the Land, the Plants, the Water ~ to Nature. Remembering we are Nature, not separate from 💚 It is by design so many feel that disconnected. Disconnection from our bodies, the Earth, our Hearts, from our Food, each other. But we cannot be disconnected from who we are... read it again. You cannot be disconnected from the Land, as you are the Land. We just have to remember. Coming back to the Land is coming back to ourselves, to Spirit, our well Ancestors. Awakening Blood memory. Who we are & our unique gifts, ways of being. Relating. The Earth, Water, always brings me back. If you're feeling out of your body, overwhelmed, can't focus, can't function, sit with Creation. Put your body in Water if you can. Feel the soil. Feel a Tree's bark, mosses softness. Feel your own Heart. Listen to the birds. A loved one's voice, touch. Nibble some Spring greens, drop some Flower Essences onto your tongue. Receive the colours, fragrances, wind... Let the Earth, the Plants, help you come back to yourself, to each other. I first shared these words over 5 years ago now. They felt fitting to share again. As more are feeling called to remember 🐚🌷 Gratitude to all those caring for the Earth, each other, to the Plant people, Medicine carriers, Land, Water, winged ones, parents raising future Earth protectors, to the ones doing their best to listen, prepare, to the seen & unseen. Can you remember a time you felt held by the Earth, a Sunrise, a close Tree kin, the Stars? Lots of love, kin ~ Jacqui 🌿

Shout out to the ones listening to the Plants 🌿 I see you, kin. Beyond the aesthetics. Lots of love to the ones showing up for the Earth, for each other. Plant people are the best people 🌷 Lots to say on "herbalism" ~ another day. It's more than 'work,' it is a calling, a responsibility. Kinship. A way of living. Being. Remembering who we are. It is Ancestor work. Healing. Reclaiming all that's been lost, forgotten, taken. Gratitude to the Plants, our first family, to the original stewards of the Land, to the Earth stewards, xo ~ Dr. Jacqui {Many of these Medicines will be in the big Spring update, May 31st! More details to come 🌸}

Spring #mood 🧚🏼‍♂️🌷⛈️🌼 I feel myself returning as the Trees Bloom & the Daffodils emerge along the Ocean... our cells recognizing the vibrant colours after a grey Winter 💚 Hope. Renewal. Making Plant Medicines to hold us with allll of the Flowers, Nettles, Magnolia, Oregon Grape. Greeting Trillium, like waiting to see an old friend. The heaviness is still there, isn't it always? But the Sun 🌞 I got my watercolours out again after quite some time, a sign of creativity returning. Which Plant relatives do you look forward to greeting or working with in the Spring? Find Xálish Flower Essences & Mushroom Adaptogenic elixirs in the Sh0p 🌿🩵 Cosmic Beauty with Fo-Ti, Mucuna and Lion's Mane has been my go to for reducing brain fog & inflammation, regulating hormones & boosting energy ~ lmk if you try it! May the Plants continually bring us back 💐 May the Sun bring renewal, and remind us of the Love that exists here too, lots of Spring love kin xo

Sometimes Ancestors give us a redirection 🦋⛈️ The key is to listening when they show us that something is off, is no longer aligned, that a change or shift is needed. Often, we resist it. For so many reasons, even if we *hear* them, hear Creation, we don't listen {iykyk lol 🫠 if you've never felt your Ancestors roll their eyes at you idk 😅} It requires deep trust. Courage. So many times in my life I have met what felt like massive road blocks. Everything literally falling apart. Years, many thousands of dollars {ahem naturopathic medical school}, capacity, all going into one thing, a relationship, life, etc to have the Universe say... 🚫 nope, not that way. It's not easy, or comfortable, pretty. But when we KNOW Ancestors have our back, when we KNOW we are held by the Land, when we KNOW Spirit is guiding, we make that commitment to follow their guidance even when the path is unclear. Even when we'd rather not. Even when it's painful. Even when we don't even understand the WHY yet. It's listening to those whispers, synchronicities, our Dreamtime. It's choosing a path that isn't always the 'easy' one because it's the *aligned* one. This applies personally & collectively. We have to choose. So if you're feeling like something is no longer aligning, if it's draining you, if your nervous system is yelling, pause. Go to the Water, Land, Stars. Tuck some Mugwort under your pillow... see what comes. It may be the Universe showing you a different way... we've got to take the leap required to get to the other side 🕊️🫀 Another way is possible, kin🌷🩵

Part of working with Plants is also syncing our own rhythms. Noticing the pulse of energies around us; moving with those rhythms & returning to Harmony 🦌💧**Last slide is my fave, always :)🐢 C0rru.pt Capitalism, Colonizati0n & even this app would have us believe that we must produce all. the. time. That we must be ON. That’s just not how Nature works & you are Nature. You are not a machine. In honouring our cycles & rhythms ~ we remember our inherent connection to Creation. That we too are Nature. Not outside of it. Our circadian rhythms are tied to the Sun 🌞 {vital for insulin/blood sugar balance, hormone balance, gut, sleep, mood!} Our energies ebb & flow like the weather in Spring, we may still be called to move slowly. A simple practice I love is sitting with the Moon & writing with each phase. Or sitting with the Earth each day at the same time & noticing who joins 🦅 Sitting with the same Plant daily. Our own bodies. Just noticing, present. Reverent curiosity. There are many ways to sync with vibrations of the Cosmos, to dance with the song of Creation, the first involves getting quiet & listening 🌈🌾 What helps you remember? When & where do you feel most attuned to the Land + Stars? We can take sustained & aligned action from this place of knowing the rhythms of the Earth, and our belonging here 🐚

Get off the phone 🌼 Get outside, open a window, make some nourishing tea, call a loved one, paint! Sing. Move your body in ways you're able. There is so much noise here. Distractions. Yes, there is beauty, vital info & connection too 💛 Our nervous systems are not made to look on devices all day. Our bodies are meant to touch the Earth, moss, water... not screens. We are meant to be bathed in Plant volatile oils & negative ions from the Waters, Sun, not EMFs. The only "thought leader" I'm interested in listening to is Creation, the Earth, Flowers. The Spring birds returning ✨ Studies show that just by seeing our phones, our cortisol goes up. Our stress response activates. Just being in their presence. They may rewire neuro pathways, negatively impact dopamine & reduce our ability to focus. Compared to time with the Earth, the Land. The Trees, Plant kin, being outside has the ability to reduce cortisol, just by being. They release chemicals that our body is made to respond to, boosting our 1mmune system. Lower impacts of stress. Regulating our Heart rhythm with the Earth 💜 Bird song reduces anxiety, depression... We remember who we are when we come back to the Land. We feel held. We know we are not alone. The more time we spend with the Land, the more we notice subtle shifts. We sync our rhythms. We deepen our intimate connections, relationships. We hear the Earth speak. Similarly, the more time we spend connecting with ourselves ~ our inner worlds, our Body, Breath, the more we notice those subtle nuances within. What does it mean if we are often distracted with social media? Tapping in to these screens vs our environment, the Land, ourselves, Spirit? How are these spaces changing how we relate to one another? To our creativity? To our Art? Ourselves? To the Land? How we take action? If you're able to go outside today, or just notice from a window, present with Creation 💚 What colours, sounds, fragrances are shifting with Spring {or Fall}? Who has returned for the Season? How are you noticing shifts within your own body? Maybe foods you're craving? Energy levels? What dreams are stirring within you? May we remember 🐚🌿

Some skills to navigate times of uncertainty, collapse, disrupting systems, increased AI & just being human here, now 🌷🐚 How are you preparing kin? What skills are you feeling called to sharpen? Learn? Embody? There are many. This list is non comprehensive, but ones that may hold us spiritually & fortify us as we continue 🌿 Of course, returning to the Earth, to Ceremony, Tradition, to ourselves is foundational to them all ✨ May we be held by the Land, by our Plant kin, the Water, especially on days we forget 💧

Integration post Eclipses + Mercury Rx✨From the root “integrat” or made whole ~ similar to integrity. I keep hearing integration ~ Ancestors reminding. Honouring these in b/w times. Liminal spaces. Are we taking the time needed to integrate? Rest, reflect? What are our rituals for this integration? Sometimes we think the Ceremony is *it,* but the integration time is just as vital. Helping us ROOT & WEAVE those teachings, those energies, alignments, changes that come through. We may also need time for integration after trauma, loss, shock, grief. How often do we have to rush ‘back to life?’ Back to ‘normal.’ Tenderness like postpartum when all energy centres are open. A portal between Earth + Stars. Anytime we touch this opening deserves adequate space. I gathered Nettle recently & they reminded me to move slowly. To integrate all of the lessons from this Eclipse season, retrogrades, this Winter. This past year(s)🌸 How are we really GROUNDING into the teachings we receive? How are we embodying our Dreams? All that has come through? There are often small ways we can integrate & rest even when continually pushed by crrpt c@p1talism. Embodiment. Floral & Herbal Baths are one of my fave ways. To rest & be held. Water reminding us of our sacred Origins, Salt absorbing heavy energies. The Plant Medicines offering guidance, healing... Some Plant kin that may hold space for rest + integration: •Seaweed~protecting, reminding us how to flow with the waves & find stability amidst storms {find Seaweed essence via Xálish Medicines} •Shooting Star Flower essence~embodying our Cosmic origins & reminding us of our original instructions •Cedar~Weaving. Holding space. Axis Mundi or holder of that Sky + Earth connection. •Turkey Tail~Grounding & helping weave patterns of Harmony. Re-programming. •Burdock~Rooting & Nourishing 💚 {find in Nourish adaptogenic mushroom elixir; Spring gut + liver health} It's ok to be tired rn, kin. May spaces of rest be accessible & may we receive them, while also showing up in all the ways we are needed 🌸🍯
