How can subtle energies support the path to radiant wellbeing & healing?

Traditional intact cultures, and systems like Ayurveda and TCM, nclude not only physical and emotional healing but also speak to how the energetic layers of our beings impact our healing, too.

Whether it's tuning into the medicine of the wheel of the year like Summer Solstice (the expansive, invigorating sunlight) or the harmonious dance of Yin and Yang or the subtle energies from the Vedic lens of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, every system holds its own wisdom. 

What matters most is how these subtle energies truly impact us, what we notice, what we feel affinity towards and what works for each of us as unique individuals.

The dance of light and dark, contraction and expansion, the underworld and above world, are part of the necessary path to healing.

Without one we cannot have the other. 

I explore all of this in depth and share some reflective prompts and share some examples of herbs and foods that can help you cultivate some of the subtle energies as well. 

This was a total riffing episode, so I hope it offers some little gems for at least one of you since it just sort of flowed through!
