Kuan Yin Naturals

There are 3 important essentials that can make or break your healing process:

1. Knowing how to downregulate your nervous system. This includes things such as self-soothing techniques, meditation, and journaling, to emotionally recalibrate during upset.

2. Safety. Are you in a place where you have to be on constant alert, or is your home (and the people in it) a sanctuary? A wound can’t heal when it’s constantly re-cut, and the same goes for our emotional wounds. If you’re in an unsafe situation, your first step is to leave, not to deal with it more gracefully. Healing can come after you’re in a safe environment.

3. Support. Do you have people in your life who support your healing? Our social environments can be much stronger than our willpower, and become part of our “inner voice,” so it’s important to consider who we spend our time with. Are they people who encourage you, and who are growing, or are they people who stay the same and feel threatened or jealous when you make progress?

I feel especially grateful today for my other half, Arman, and how he supports each of these essentials in our daily life.

Wow, I have some EXCITING news! My radio time went quite wonderfully, despite attacking an innocent microphone at one point... and I was invited back next week for their talk on vaccinations!

The BIG news, though:

I was offered my own radio show! It's going to be on Medical Ma*****na. I'm incredibly honored and excited to explore this possibility!

*This* is a big part of why I support medicinal cannabis use, even for children.
