TUNE IN: //⠀
I'm still thinking about the yoga class I took this summer that started and ended with a beautiful crystal singing bowl. If you haven't heard one, it's a unique quality of sound that really enhances meditation and awareness. You can almost feel the vibrations in your body. Have you heard one? ⠀
⠀
Sound can be such a powerful experience and a tool for us to get out of our head and into our heart. Just ask my kids how much I turn on music try and diffuse their bad moods (and mine). to all have their place!⠀
⠀
I'm using Spotify now to create playlists for all my classes and in case you're looking for something for your home practice or a class you teach, find me so we can share music there. Link in profile or search Manawa Wellness Xx⠀

When it rains it pours, right?! Without going into details, the past week has included a host of things that threw me for a loop. Right now my focus is on getting JR better and keeping us all well enough to start school. Hence my less-than-usual posting.

Besides all the chicken noodle soup and oranges he wants, I made JR this roller blend and have been using every few hours while he is really under the weather and will continue on both kids as part of their routines as we go back to school.

I posted the recipe and how-to on my stories today if you want to see how easy it is to put together.

Stay well, friends 💙

Whew, our epic day of travel home really took it out of me and I’m a few days behind on pretty much everything on my list of things to-do (hello back-to-school-prep and unpacking boxes from the move).

But yesterday instead of trying to do any of that, I took the kids out to the park for a long walk and then found a park bench to do a few movements to build strength and get the blood flowing. I posted about it on my stories— most days my mantra is that it isn’t about doing everything it’s about doing something. Moving, even a little bit, has such a big impact on overall wellbeing.

A few stretches, a few movements with intention and reconnection, a few sun salutations. Whatever it is that you can integrate into your day is a move in the right direction!

Anyone else get excited for fall schedules but take time to transition from vacation mode?! This is the story of my life right now. 🙈

I'm so often the observer of my children's play that I forget the nourishment of being at play myself. ⠀
⠀
When I decided to seize the moment and play in the water... and to discard the constraints of self-conciousness and propriety, it was liberation and play in the highest. ⠀
⠀
We may outgrow a lot of things, but I'm convinced that play isn't one of them.⠀

TREASURE: the little mementos we collect to remember moments and places are like a link back to favorite memories. I’m collecting rocks and shells with the boys in hopes to display them when we get home. A vignette like this will undoubtedly bring me joy all winter long. What treasures do you collect on vacation?!

Hello! Thanks for sticking with me as I soak in family time! It’s both invigorating and challenging to step away from routines and regular life. If you’re like me and thrive on rhythm, maybe you feel thrown off on vacation too? I’m taking this as an opportunity to practice giving myself grace ( ) and doing what I can. 💙

I'm knee deep in boxes and dreaming about vacation. Can't wait to get into a swim suit and spend some time by the water. ⠀
⠀
This summer skin saver is absolutely coming along-- maleluca + lavender + coconut oil = rescue in a bottle. ⠀

Creating rituals, daily, monthly or seasonally can be such a delight to look forward to. Maybe it's lighting a candle at dinner or displaying collected seashells in the summer like we do. ⠀
⠀
Tonight we are planning to head over to our new house and eat pizza on the floor and I'm excited to try a new ritual of using a sage stick to smudge the new space. The thing that makes me most excited about our new home it creating memories and the new rituals and traditions that will come with it. ⠀
⠀
I'd love to know. Do you have any daily or seasonal rituals that bring you joy?! ⠀
