You know what I think is so interesting, how a lot of these, some of them just from a pure logistical standpoint, are definitely applicable to our times where people are very interested in supporting the immune system, for example. But then, you know, a lot of.
This stuff, when it comes to opening the heart, balancing the chakras, rooting one, allowing one to sleep better, turning off, racing thoughts.
It seems to me like these are the type of things that people need to know, especially in the times that we are living in right now.
I mean, it sounds nearly gimmicky to.
Say, but, you know, things like oils and plant extracts and the ability to bring nature in its concentrated form into your own practice at home is something that can bring humans together in the same way that it brought us together for our meditation this morning or for a sauna practice last night or even for dinner.
As you passed around that nutmeg solution that you had that my boys were.
Using to enhance digestion.
What do you.
Think about that concept that a lot of these extracts can be used as a way to almost bring people together?
In a sense, not only bring people together, but connect us with our roots, bring us back closer to nature. And so the reason that I feel called to this journey, sharing the oil, sharing the plants, empowering wisdom around botanicals, is I feel it reconnects us to nature, and nature connects us to community. And so if we can find purpose and service by being kind to Mother Earth and planting medicinal herbs and plants within our communities and collaborating with our local indigenous wisdom elders and really craft a healthy economy that respects the Earth, then I feel we are literally taking these lands back and we are honoring the. The sacred lands. And we are, you know, in. In every land that we are bringing intention and attention. That is a land that is not being destroyed. And so the way that I see this is by sharing these botanical friends with people across the world, what we're able to do is unite community, elevate a level of consciousness within ourselves and within each other, connect with others. You know, these are. These are great, as you're describing, to share friends and family and to commune with and to open up our heart and to elevate our mood and to stimulate different aspects within our physiology. And I feel that a communion within nature is part of our solution in returning back to harmony with Earth.
