Have you ever had those days where you feel like the world is heavy and you can just feel things consuming you? Those are the days that I have to remember to breathe a bit deeper. To focus on the present moment. To remind myself that I am safe and this too shall pass.
Sometimes, it’s as simple as grounding myself within the earth, no matter the temperature. Taking deep breaths while I center myself. I never want to touch a plant when I’m mad or sad, same goes for a person. Energy transfers and I only want to share love for the moment. Once I find myself smiling I start to forage. I thank the plant for what it has to offer and honor its help within my healing process. Rosemary is rather sticky which helps to make a rosemary essential oil so fragrant and gives us a beautiful scent, which reminds me to take even deeper breaths.
