Getting In Tune Online
Technology may get a bad rep, but it provides us with endless opportunities to learn and expand our awareness. From herbal tonics to guided meditation channels, here are some of my favorite online resources for holistic wellness and self-care! (With a few honorable book mentions)
Blogs
Conscious Lifestyle Mag
Focus: Consciousness, natural medicine, mindful living.
This website is filled with loads of valuable information and is easy to navigate.
Mystic Mamma
Focus: Inspiring messages, spiritual insights, astrology.
Great for a quick pick-me-up, and is a must-read during full moons and seasonal shifts.
Mind Body Green
Focus: Anything and everything health-related.
This page is full of articles on every topic you could ever think of. It's great for light reading, and remember to always fact check.
Video Channels
I recently stumbled upon this website while watching a video that featured Shaman Durek, an incredible motivational speaker and healer. The artistic design and content is so fun to get lost in, and I love surfing through it during my morning coffee!
TED Talks
TED (Technology, Entertainment, + Design) Talks are various recorded presentations, either from someone really inspirational, really successful, or really smart. Sometimes all. The topics are unique and provide great brain food for when you just want some screen time to unwind.
Guided Meditations
Lilian Eden: A woman providing dozens of themed videos from helping you fall asleep to connecting with your spirit guides.
The Honest Guys: With over 600k followers, they makes meditation simple and easily accessible for all people.
Botanical Shops
Mountain Rose Herbs
(www.mountainroseherbs.com)
Focus: Access to high-quality natural products, ingredients, and education.
They are an incredibly trustworthy herbal company with unlimited resources available. I love that their blog shares so many DIY recipes for teas, tinctures, scrubs, etc.
Floracopeia
(www.floracopeia.com)
Focus: Essential oils, natural beauty, flower essences, and education.
Like MRH, this valiant company takes pride in being ecologically responsible and providing the highest quality botanicals. I love the podcasts and discount coupons received from signing up for their newsletter.
Books
The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy by Cyndi Dale
This book is great for anybody interested in understanding energy medicine. It offers both simple and scientific understandings of the chakras, meridians, and energy pathways of the body which is refreshing. It's full of hundreds of colorful images, charts, and tables.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
This book is popular for a reason, and has given me so much direction on the "how-to" that many inspirational reads often miss out on. It shares great wisdom, but most importantly how to apply it to daily life.
Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
No explanation could do this book justice! It is a soulful read full of storytelling, poetic flow, and soul-stirring revelations. It takes you on a journey to your innermost self. Keep a pencil nearby for all the aha moments this one will bring! Check out an earlier post with quotes from the book here.
