🎨 Artist’s Bracket fungus 🍄

These beautiful fungi, also known as Ganoderma Applanatum, are given the name ‘artists bracket’ because you can sketch on them - see last photo taken from the web. Their white spores grow on the underside of the fungus which stain the wood like surface when damaged. So when you draw on them and when the spores cease to grow, the image will have been carved into the surface, permanently.

These mushrooms live for many years (these ones have been there for the 3 years we’ve been in Devon) and each year they grow new layers of spores - so cutting the mushroom in half will show their age by the number of rings where the spores dried.

Whilst they are too barky to eat, the Artist’s Bracket has been used medicinally for thousands of years. In TCM it has been used to treat rheumatic tuberculosis and to resolve indigestion, relieve pain and reduce phlegm. Studies have also shown that it also has anti-tumour and anti-oxidation qualities.

Have you seen any of these beautiful giant fungi locally to you?

Just like asana, pranayama (breathing techniques) are another aspect of yoga traditionally understood and practiced for specific energetics and purposes.

“Prana” meaning force and “yam” meaning to hold or control, the word speaks to its ability to work with our innate energy through the breath.

Understanding your constitution— who you are by nature and where you are at currently in life— allows you a solid base to work with throughout all healing modalities.

Our newest blog explores three different practices for each dosha— pitta, vata and kapha.

Head to our website to find the one that suits you most 💚

Do you change your rituals with the seasons? 💫

A simple water meditation ✨

Calling upon the cooling, soothing and calming energy of water can be a great way of relieving stress.

Practicing this simple visualisation technique— anywhere and any time— can support your body in resetting the nervous system through conscious breathing and release.

Close your eyes and breathe at your natural rhythm. Start to notice the rise and fall of your chest and belly.

In your minds eye, visualise gentle waves coming into the shore beside you as you breathe in through the nose.

As you exhale fully out of the mouth, watch as the water returns back into the ocean, taking with it your feelings of tension, stress or anxiety.

Repeat this as many times as you wish, intentionally affirming what it is you are releasing and cleansing away in that moment 💚

Curious as to why cultures in hotter climes have traditionally slept during midday?

In countries such as Spain, siesta is commonplace. When the sun is at its hottest, shops and businesses would close for a few hours, giving people enough time to eat, spend time with loved ones, rest and take a break from the heat.

The sun is life-giving, but like anything with such powerful energy, too much exposure can have adverse effects.

Many recent studies also find that morning and evening sunlight are most beneficial for our bodies circadian rhythms, encouraging outdoor activity at those times daily.

Alongside healthy sleep overnight, napping can help individuals who have to rise early, work until late or struggle with consistent sleep through the night. This way, people can catch up with “sleep debt”, helping to support their bodies renewal, cognitive health, memory and mood.

Do you choose to sleep during the hottest part of the day? 💫

Summer solstice blessings 💚

Throughout this week are continuing to celebrate the potent energy of the solstice that occurred on June 21st— honouring the sun at its highest power, the most yang time of year in all its abundance of light and warmth.

As the longest day of the year, many cultures observe this date as one of celebration, growth and life-giving energy.

At this time of year, both the earth and us are able to be our most expansive and expressive selves.

How do you celebrate the summer solstice?

Here are five of Rooted’s favourite rituals to mark the occasion!

🌞creating a shrine to give thanks and offerings (such as flowers) to the sun and earth

🌞using the sun’s element of fire in social gatherings and spaces or journaling exercises

🌞working with the sun in traditional methods of drying foods, herbs and flowers

🌞sharing a nutritious meal with loved ones—outside!

🌞 enjoying cooling summer herbs such as rose, lavender, chamomile, chrysanthemum and mint

A Monday meditation 💚

Trusting our instincts and body’s wisdom is vital to staying healthy.

Symptoms, or signals, are here to tell us when something needs extra care, attention and ultimately rebalancing.

We may not always have the verbal language to articulate exactly what we are feeling, but practicing leaning into other modalities to further explore our internal landscapes is always helpful when working on our health and healing.

Ways to do exactly that:

✨meditation and visualisation to quiet external noise around us and practice seeing what we are feeling

✨the traditional technique of body mapping, exploring the meridians and channels of the body through drawing

✨somatic movements such as hip openers, twists or all types of dancing, to clear stagnant energy and release any pain, trauma or trapped emotions

✨working with a guide, teacher or coach to talk through your signals and find their root causes

Mid week motivation 💚

If you are feeling called to renew, redirect and elevate— you are right on time.

Until we make a clear decision to step out of what we are used to, we cannot fully embrace what is waiting for us as our new reality.

Keeping one foot in and one foot out robs us of the ultimate gift— as well as the real key to alchemising and achieving change— our presence.

What is one thing you can do today to step into the space that you truly desire to inhabit?
