How to heal dark Circle under your eyes and get back into health with Somatic Herbalism.

I bean Studying Somatic Herbalism for a few years with my Teacher Seán O'Donoghue. It’s been a beautiful healing restorative time for me. And I found passion into learning how to help others that may suffer from depression and different imbalances and illnesses. Yesterday I was learning about Adrenal Fatigue/ Endocrine system crash and healing with Adaptogens. He said a good way to know that we are run down is looking at the dark circle under our eyes. If it’s the 1/4 dark circle: 3 months of recovery needed, 1/2 circle 6 months, 3/4 9 months. Full under dark circle could be needing a full year recovery. Most of us are addicted to coffee , we can’t function without it. It’s actually a sign that our endocrine system is run down. If we keep pushing and not resting it eventually can cause Auto Immune diseases, chronic Pain, Infections… A dysregulation of our Mitochondria cells. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical. Our inner fire. It can happen to most of us who are by instinct givers. When we keep giving without getting our own cup re filled. It first show in our blood and on our organs over time. If we find the imbalance in our blood level it helps us not have disease.

Some time after we feel run down we get back to our physical activities, and crash again and again. That’s one way to know we experiencing an irregulation.

A proper diet, herbal medicine and supplement as well are necessary. Rebuilding our energy by lessening to our body and getting as much rest as we need will avoid us to have to step back and crash over and over. It’s like the falling tower. This time where we are offer a time of reflection to go inwards. I been really feeling that this year. An opportunity to redefine who I am in the world, this is like a jump start for the Neurobiology. Restoration at the end of the day tracks emotions. Everyday you have the energy to expand. And it’s not the same everyday, an opportunity to lesson to our body. All decisions making require Dopamine. Dopamine helps us engage the things we find rewarding

If you like to learn more about different herbal medicine that can help you increase your level of Dopamine and heal your Adrenal fatigue. Please reach out I would love to give you a Somatic consultation to help getting you back up to health. For consultation please msg me at AsayaHeart@gmail.com

Healing with the Elements

Sweat Lodge /Temazcal Is been an amazing tool for me in this life. It’s a space where I made peace with prayers. Cause prayer really mean sending a wish to spirit instead of worrying. Being grateful, witch really as human this is what make the world full circle. We been gifted words to describe poetically the beauty of life.

Temazcal is a beautiful way to sweat all the toxins out of the body to start over with new clean Water and hopefully stay away from unhealthy patterns/ habits / toxin that no longer serve us. First we have let go of our toxicity and the built up of emotions in our being that could have turn into illnesses , it often show up has pain in the body. Inside mother womb (the lodge) sitting in the dark where no body can see me but me I am being heard. I find it important cause I energetically work with lots of peoples doing massage and this energy that some time stay in me need to be send back to the Hot rocks (the grand fathers).

Going into the sweat lodge is a space/ritual where I like to fallow the tread of my ancestor my masculine side and especially healing the connection to the mother. Healing my relationship with the life giver, my womb, my Mother womb, my grand mother womb…..And the children to come. Acknowledging all the work that is been done before me to be in this body, on this health. When Im in alignment with this inner knowing I also heal my relationship with the masculine and my inner masculine. If I am strong, I know my boundaries and communicate them well It allow me to co create a beautiful life on a nice fertile soil. It’s a space where I can hear my inner voice. Lessoning to the womb wisdom. It’s teaching me how to be in alignment with my tru desire, what my soul is here to do and this start with caring for my self and praying for the one I love. Instead of worrying for them I pray for them, I see them well. It's a place where I lesson to the land . When we come out of the womb / the sweat lodge it’s a rebirth, they’re this glow we carry from the elemental medicine, and this bliss that we carry is being felt to every persons that we meet along the way and that transform them as well. Those good herbal medicine and water molecules they ripples out just like the butterfly effect.

If your partner , friend, family member or co worker is not giving you respect over time your Swadhisthan Chakra will be block. Witch will lower your self esteem, making you insecure and limit the flow of consciousness (intuition)and self love. This imbalance will take you into a survival mode making you feel ungrounded, blocking also Muladhara Chakra. The Earth Chakra. So before disrespecting the peoples you love, cheating on them. Just so you know you are victims of your own lie. This will have a double sord effect on you. Making your partner not believing in you, lack of trust on the relationship and themself. So everything is felt that you are telling the truth or not.

This feeling unsafe will limit the circulation in the body. Creating toxin in the cells causing a cloudy mind. Disconnecting the person from their own guidance. This why in Herbal medicine we use Acrid taste. To help purge the toxins out of the body. Payote is Acrid. Black Cohosh, Lobelia….

In the molecule level that will limit the access to dopamine level the pleasure connection sensory, this imbalance can also be call depression.

But some time Cannabis is not the best for executive function or putting the creative idea into motion. Or maybe a creative medicine like that is not the best before computer work or other right mind things to do, it’s a great medicine to go inward. So knowing different herbal medicine that help re calibrating the Body mind and soul could be good. You could use tincture like Bacopa, lobelia, psilocybin, damiana.

For the person being untruth to their feeling and action, it will create Bi polar from the unspoken truth…

COUNCIOUSSNESS IS THE TRUTH

I know for myself lie from a partner created disharmony in my Chakra witch translated into my whole life. But at the end we have to trust that those experience that cause imbalance are a way for us to wake up and change the situation we are in, the unhealthy pattern that is been past generation after generation. We have the choice to see the truth, deep inside we know the truth. We can only trust ourself. If you don’t feel safe in a relationship trust that, that’s the signal.

At the end coming back to presence. Seeing the flowers growing threw the cracks of the pavement and from that place expand to see the whole world around you. Smell the flowers, the pine trees. Aromatic connect us with the world around us and up lift our mood so we can feel happier. A little bitterness into our life will teach us a lot, will make us hangry for a while, that’s the liver telling us its having a hard time processing what is good for us and what is not. Bitter herbs will cleanse the liver, the hanger, a little sweetness like roses will help you re open to joy and reopen your heart with strong boundaries… This is the magical world of plants. If you can't feel safe with humans turn to the nature world and create safety with the relationship with the trees, the animal (dopamine boost) and eventually you will be ready to re connect and trust with your human connection. So next time before judging someone in the community just so you know they are in their own process, reach out to see how they're doing. Compassion. Peoples victim of domestic violence will carry a lot and the last thing they need is to be rejected by their community. At the end only you can make you feel safe, when the body is come clear your circus of consciousness is back in alignment you will have a better relationship with your own guidance and the world that reflect from this place. Healing take time. Be patient and compassionate with yourself. Herbal medicine can help you embody your self in the most beautiful way into the world. Also be mindful of the vibration that you bring into your body. Specially at festival. That a topic for an other day. Much love
