MEDICINE OF THE MONTH
ROSE + LOTUS
This month we open to the union of Lotus + Rose. A beautiful pair of ancient wisdom keepers + healers.
Rose holds the highest vibratory frequency of any other plant on the planet - about 328 hz. Rose anchors Lotus into the heart - here they meet in union, bridging the dualities within.
Inviting you to work with these two this month - learning directly from them, receiving, observing, opening to the medicine that they uniquely have for you.
-
Make the same as your Lotus infusion but add a pinch of rose petals/buds.
-
-Drinking Lotus + Rose Tea in meditation.
-Plant Spirit Bathing with them.
-Anointing your Heart with their water and oils.

THE HEART - THE AB
TENDING THE HEART
A daily check-in with your heart:
Bringing a presence and awareness here. Place your hand on your heart, drop in, practice listening, and deepen your relationship with this voice within you. See what your heart begins to share with you.
Acknowledging the range of senses your heart moves through and see what ways it needs tending to,
Maybe ask your heart everyday “what do you need to feel nourished right now/today?” - and offer your heart at least one of the things that day. It can be simple… a nourishing meal, cacao, a bath, a chat with a friend, the ocean, etc.
“And my heart was the launch that ferried me through dark, churning waters.”
“In the black mountain of the heart, I found my way home again.”
“What I’ve known with the heart has been truth.”
“Become content at heart” is to say merge with the image of the true self rather than the ego. Don’t let the rules, expectations and projects of a society that doesnt see your true image define you. Only become content with the image of yourself thats free from the limits of the ego.”
