Journey to Belonging

10/11/2022

Welcome to the Fall season (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere)!
This is hands down my favorite time of the year. The chilly and crisp October mornings, the time for snuggling up with a cup of tea and a good book, the long evenings…

The transition from Summer to Fall is one of two very important liminal moments in the Ayurvedic tradition (the other one being the transition from late Winter to Spring).

Ayurveda identifies each season by its elemental qualities; Fall is made of the elements of Air and Ether and is run by the Vata dosha.
Think of the qualities of a chilly, crips, and windy November morning. It’s going to feel dry, cold, rough, light, mobile... these are all aspects of Vata, and can bring as many gifts as troubles if they meet us unprepared.

Luckily, where I live in California, Fall doesn’t really hit until late October or so, which gives us a little bit extra time to appreciate the transition. But when the change from Summer (which is going to feel hot, heavier, stagnant energy) to Fall is very abrupt, our body can take a toll.

We are going from a season in which we likely were more social and outgoing, maybe traveling, eating all sorts of foods, and accumulating heat/inflammation… to one in which our bodies naturally ask us to slow down, do less, layer up, rest more, maybe go more inward, and eat differently. If we don’t listen to these hues, we can incur in colds, flu, allergies, respiratory issues, physical overwhelm, and mental exhaustion.

But it’s so hard to slow down at times! I have learned this the hard way… Before I learned about seasonal living, this time of year has historically meant that I was going to come down with bronchitis, and also that my mind was going to feel anxious, scattered and all over the place.

Over the years, I have put together a sort of “seasonal emergency kit” for those moments of overwhelm, and combined it with the traditional Ayurvedic practices for this time of the year.

I will be facilitating an online workshop tomorrow as I really want to share these rituals with you! Feel free to message me to sign up!

Today I want to take a break from all things herbalism to introduce one of the healing modalities that I absolutely love and endorse: EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as Tapping.
It is actually better defined as a self-healing, self-soothing technique that helps to reset the nervous system and reframe challenging beliefs we have about ourselves and the world around us.

I have been practicing EFT for what is like... 16 years! And teaching it for about half a decade. And it keeps blowing my mind and opening my heart over and over, showing me and my client how we really do share emotions and experiences as human beings... we are not alone in our feelings.
It is a deeply heart-centered practice that focuses on self-love and self-compassion, and if used in the appropriate (and safe!!) way, really supports us in accessing our subconscious. I like to say that it helps us peel off the "emotional onion" of our experience and get to the core of the issues in a very intuitive, supportive, and nourishing way. Through self-touch based on the Chinese Acupressure System, and self-affirmations based on Thought Therapy, this technique stirs the bottom of our emotional ocean and creates a ripple effect of unconditional acceptance for ourselves.

During an EFT practice, the teacher is not a healer (I believe we never heal others, but especially in this case). The teacher is just a facilitator of your own healing, holding space and keeping the pace of the tapping practice. It does require skills and because sometimes people's history of trauma comes up, I believe it needs to be taught by people trained in some form of counseling, coaching, trauma skills, and so on. But the magic is, once you learn how to tap, and you have established a certain amount of safety within yourself, you can do it alone and it's free!

Lately, I have also been experimenting with and teaching what I call "Somatic EFT". Which is utilizing this tool to access stored emotions in the body, give them shape, and size, and color following the principles of Somatic and Trauma Embodiment practices... and then move through them, without attachment to the stories we build in our heads about where the discomfort comes from.

Here you can see a little snippet of an IG live I did last year with the amazing Shira Lazar from Peace Inside Live, an online wellness platform where I taught EFT weekly throughout the pandemic.
If you are curious to learn more or would like to book me for a private EFT session or a group EFT workshop (both equally powerful and effective in very different ways!) don't hesitate to contact me!
In Love and Service,
Ginevra

My connection to Plants & the world of Herbs has never been stronger!
I keep finding myself in awe of the gifts, reminders, presence, and medicine that these beings offer us 🌿🌹🌼

How they bring us back to our bodies through the senses, how a flower smells, how it looks, the taste of an herb, the sensation of running my fingers through dried flowers.
With great humility I gather them, with sense of purpose I prepare them into medicine form, teas, tinctures, oils, salves...

There is so much deep intuitive wisdom in these acts that I've witnessed my mother and grandmother do since I was little, mostly inside the kitchen with culinary herbs, but sometimes out in the garden too, planting rose and oregano, rosemary and sage... It's encoded in my DNA, in my Mediterranean lineage. And I'm so grateful that I have found many of these plants here in California, which shares a similar climate and environment to my beloved Sardinia. It's like a long-held memory that had been submerged by the modern lifestyle and it's coming back to me.

I have made lavender-infused oil since I was a kid together with my mom, and now I'm keeping the tradition alive. After a little failed gardening attempt at cultivating English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) this spring, I was blessed to run into Tres Jolie Lavender Farm this summer at the Nevada City Hot Summer Nights. I purchased two bundles of organically grown, incredibly fragrant fresh lavender and proceeded that same evening to infuse it in organic EVOO. It is sitting on a windowsill in my kitchen until it will be ready to be made into magical preparations that will bring soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and relaxing properties to parched dry skins

And not only... some new ideas are brewing and a new exciting project is in the making... I am deeply inspired by combining herbal practices with Ayurvedic tradition and wellness + mental-health enhancing natural practices. Stay tuned for more!

One thing at a time, for now I gather, and smell, and touch, and ponder on the Magic of it all.
Thank you plants for keeping me on this journey!

'this the season.... for St. John's Wort! I am SO in love with this plant and its connection to the Sun ☀️

SJW (Hypericum Perforatum) pops up in late spring, when roadsides and ravines get covered in the bright yellow flowers, which go to full bloom by Summer Solstice 🌼

It is indeed as if this plant collects the resplendent energy of the Sun and delivers it in flower form, so that we can enjoy it throughout the year. The aerial parts (upper stems, leaves & flowers) have very strong anti-inflammatory + anti-microbial + analgesic properties for the skin (great for sunburns, bug bites, cuts and scrapes, fungus like athlete's foot, and nerve and muscle pain) & nervine relaxant + antidepressant properties for the nervous system (it's one of the most efficient plants against SAD and a stagnant type of depression).
It can be made into an infused oil, or a tincture, depending on the intended use ⚕️

I love exploring around my area and finding new places to harvest it, always sustainably and with respect, leaving plenty for the pollinators. Normally I find it in sunny areas at higher altitudes and near bodies of water 🏞
Once harvested, it is better to use the flowers fresh. They need to be either blended or mushed with a mortal&pestle to release the bright red substance inside the unopened buds, called "Hypericin", which is its main active compound 🩹

This year I made a gorgeous St. John's Wort infused EVOO with a tad of Vodka to double extract the properties - thank you to my colleagues at .garden for the tip!
I infused the flowers in the oil for 4 weeks under the sun, using the traditional folk method. Then strained and squeezed; it's a messy process but so fun!
Look at the incredible deep red color of this infused oil 😍

I am excited to be crafting all sort of herbal preparations with it... In the making is a Body Aches Salve and Epsom Salts Scrub, a Skin Remedy Salve, and of course, just the pure oil on its own!
I also have a strong Brandy tincture from last year's batch.
If you are interested in purchasing any of these from me, please DM me, I would love to share this plant's goodness with you!

Recovering from Covid means that I will need to take extra care of my immune system in the next months. Soooo I thought about concocting a staple of home kitchen herbalism that I have been wanting to make for a long time and never really got to it. Here is my first experiment with Fire Cider! 🔥

Fire Cider is a herbal vinegar-based infusion that packs a whole lot of foods, roots, and herbs that are known as adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, expectorant, immune system builders, anti-viral, and overall tonics. 🌿🧄🧅🌶️🥔

Here is the recipe I created by combining different sources. For a 1 quart jar I used:
- 2 in. piece of fresh turmeric root, chopped
- 2 TBSP of dried astragalus root
- 2 TBSP of dried rosemary leaves
- 2 star anise pods
- 6-7 cloves, whole
- Half a big yellow onion, chopped
- 8 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1/2 cup of fresh ginger root, finely chopped or grated
- 1/2 cup of fresh horseradish root, finely chopped or grated
- 1/2 TBSP of whole pink peppercorns (black pepper is also good)
- Juice of half lemon
- 1 serrano pepper, chopped
- 1 TBSP of dried orange peel

Cover the jar to the top with apple cider vinegar, which also has probiotics and digestive properties, and infuse for 1 month, keeping it in a dark cool area and shaking it every day. At the end, strain well through a mesh cloth, squeeze out the juices and add honey to taste (at least 1 cup for a 1 qt. jar).

It will preserve well in the fridge for up to 6 months - some say 1 year.
I am going to take 1 TBSP per day before meals (or first thing in the morning) mixed with water or straight out of the bottle, to boost Agni (digestive fire), build my immune system, fight pathogens, and keep my airways clear.
It tastes delicious, a mix of savory, sour, and sweet with spicy and pungent notes (basically it has all 6 tastes according to Ayurveda!). Great on mocktails with cold sparkling water too, for a refreshing summer twist!

This week I am doing an Ayurvedic Spring cleanse led by the skilled Meredith , and it feels wonderful! 🌻

Cleansing is one of the many Ayurvedic traditions that help us to attune with the natural rhythms. In this case, food cleanses are recommended in the Fall and Spring to get our bodies synched up with the changes in seasonal patterns, weather, temperature, and so on.

I have talked in my previous posts about the importance of slowing down during these seasonal shifts. Paying attention to the food we eat, our thoughts, and our emotions is part of these seasonal cleansing rituals.

A typical cleanse will involve a mono-diet of Kitchari (more on the benefits of Kitchari in the future!) for a few days up to 1 week, accompanied by sides of salads, chutneys, juices, warm morning grains, and a few selected stewed fruits. Food is to be spiced with a variety of spices taken from the Ayurvedic cooking tradition, such as cumin, fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, and coriander, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-gas, carminative, digestive, and detoxing properties. All cooked meals are accompanied by a generous amount of ghee, to keep everything juicy and lubricated

What I love about Ayurvedic cleaning is that there is a focus on health vs. weight loss, and there is no experience of hunger or deprivation. On the contrary, there is an abundance of healthy, anti-inflammatory, alkalizing food magic!
Each meal is to be prepared and savored with awareness and love... which is a challenge in our multi-tasking, technological world. Just the simple ritual of preparing a pot of Kitchari with colorful organic seasonal veggies makes the heart smile and the tummy happy, and it helps tremendously with slowing down and attuning.

There are many more self-care rituals included in a cleanse such as meditation, self-reflection, journaling, and Abhyanga (oil massage). Which are super nourishing and comforting, AND also allow for challenging emotions to come up and be cleared out of the system.

Feel free to get in touch for more info on Ayurvedic cleanings, and stay tuned for more self-care routines & rituals

*My Spring mistake!*

In my previous post, I wrote about the importance of slowing down during the transition from Winter to Spring. Taking it easy, allowing plenty of rest, eating according to the seasons... Well, I wanted to let you know that... this year I didn't listen to my own advice! 🙈

It has been such a cold and dark winter here in NorCal. I have appreciated the quiet times at home, cuddles on the sofa, reading by the fireplace, slow walks in nature all bucked up... but in the time between the end of January and February, I got very restless and started craving traveling. I was so excited that I overplanned, thinking I could do it all. ❌

And so, I attended a small regional Burning Man event, then in March I went camping with my partner for a few days... and of course, I HAD to add in a whole week in NYC to visit friends. My diet shifted, I ate more sugar and gluten which I normally avoid, I had some alcohol, and I stayed out late at night... I should have known better! 💯

OF COURSE, I got sick. First some fever + a cold sore outbreak. Then while in New York, I caught a bug of some sort (not the big C!) and came down with a bad cough, lost my voice, and bronchitis. 😷🤒

I immediately referred to my herbal allies and ramped up my supplements intake to include Echinacea, Astragalus, Elderberry for immune support, and a humungous amount of ginger, honey, and licorice to soothe my throat. 🌱 I got better in about a week, but it did take a toll on my energy levels, mood, and creativity... 🥀

Well, lesson learned! I better practice more of what I preach, so to say. My body clearly wants me to go slower and to PACE OUT my travels.
Now I am back in California and taking care of myself. I realized the diet changes had an impact on my health, so I am going on an anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic diet for a while. 🥦🍎🍋🥕🥬

It began today with a 1-week mini Panchakarma Kitchari cleanse, guided by the amazing Meredith from . Stay tuned for more information in the next few days on Ayurvedic Spring cleanings, the benefits of Kitchari, and some foodie inspiration!

*Transition from Winter to Spring*

I have mentioned how in Ayurveda we find the 5 Elements in everything, from the cells of our skin to the food we eat. But did you know that from an Ayurvedic perspective, each season is also comprised of a mix of the elements?

Within this traditional system, there are 3 main seasons (Fall/Winter, Spring, and Summer).
💨 Fall is made of the elements of Air and Ether (think of a chilly and crisp October morning) and is run by the Vata dosha
🌱 Spring is made of the elements of Water and Earth (think of an April late afternoon shower and thunderstorm) and is run by the Kapha dosha.
🔥 Summer is made of Fire and is run by Pitta (think of a burning hot, sunny, and dry midday time).

Our bodies get accustomed to the qualities of a season as time goes by, so the more we are inside of a season, the easier it is to find balance. The trouble can come during the transition from one season to the other, when temperature, air quality, amount of daylight, and general energy out there change, sometimes suddenly.

One of the most important transitions is the one from Fall/Winter to Spring. We are going from a cold, dark, and still energy, often characterized by more inner time and isolation.... to a warmer, sunnier, more active energy, one in which we get ready to get out of our homes, want to be more social and catch up on all the activities we missed in winter.
Which is great!
AND. There is a but. What happens is that we may tend to do too much all at once. Shed all those layers and wear lighter clothing. Eat that ice cream or shift to eating raw food because all of a sudden is sunny and hot out there!
When this happens, we can burnout too fast and exhaust ourselves. Has this ever happen to you?

Ayurveda teaches us to go SLOW at this time. To go easy with traveling and social engagements, and still allow plenty of rest and recharge time in between. To keep eating warm, nourishing foods while we start incorporating fresher veggies and less heavy grains and proteins.

If you want to know more, feel free to reach out for 1:1 individualized support or stay tuned for my "Bloom into Spring" workshop in April.

*The 5 Elements in Ayurveda*

Today, I want to introduce you to an Ayurvedic concept that has revolutionized the way I approach my health and my relationship to the outside world: the 5 Elements.
I learned about this a few years ago and I was immediately fascinated by Ayurveda's deep and intuitive understanding of Nature.
*
The Elements appear in various indigenous traditions and are different according to each one.
In Ayurvedic Medicine, they are Ether/Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
*
Taken individually, each element has its own properties and qualities (called "Gunas" in Sanskrit) that manifest in the subtle and material world in very specific ways.
✨ Ether is light, clear, subtle, and still
💨 Air is light, cold, rough, dry, and mobile
🔥 Fire is hot, sharp, light, and oily
💦 Water is liquid, heavy, dense, and sticky
🌎 Earth is heavy, dense, slow, and smooth
*
The purpose of Ayurveda (and of my Ayurvedic Coaching) is to focus on balancing these Elements both internally and externally, to bring about greater health.
*
The cool thing is that they do not only act individually! They actually mix and merge all the time, combining with each other to form the world we know. From an Ayurvedic perspective, we can say that our bodies, our food, our weather/seasonal patterns, even our emotions are made up of the 5 Elements!
If you think about it, it's a little bit like chemistry, or a more metaphysical/subtle version of the Chemistry we are taught in school. At a deep, intuitive level... I like to say, it's Alchemy.
*
When we learn about the Elements and we learn how to sense their presence (or their lack of) in our lives, and how to play with them, we become our own Alchemists. We are more empowered and aware and we can better take care of ourselves, our routines and practices, our loved ones, our emotions. It takes time and practice, but it's a very special way to relate to our world and it definitely makes it more playful and interesting!
*
I'll be sharing more about the Elements and how they form our body constitutions (Doshas) in the future.

Some of you might already be familiar with Ayurveda, the more-than-three-thousand-years-old healing tradition that originated in today's India and Nepal many, many generations ago. If you are, bear with me!

If you are new to Ayurveda though, you are in for a life-changing discovery. Ayurveda is not just a form of traditional medicine but is also a philosophy, a set of rituals and routines, and a way of life.

The word Ayurveda is made up of the Sanskrit words Ayu (Life) and Veda (Science or Technology). So, Ayurveda literally means “Science of Life” and at its core, it’s a framework for interpreting and better understanding our world.

Many people might have heard of Ayurveda as a sister science to Yoga, as the two are often mentioned together. However, as one of my teachers likes to say, Ayurveda is more like the Mother of Yoga!

This is because Yoga Asana (the poses we see in yoga studios) is just ONE of many practices included in a traditional Ayurvedic lifestyle. Others are Meditation, Breathwork, Bodywork such as massage and acupuncture, Nutrition, Cleansing, Herbalism, Spiritual Guidance, morning and evening routines, and an approach to living based on a daily, monthly, and seasonal natural clock.

I fell in love with this tradition many years ago, but only recently got to delve deeper into an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coaching training through the . I thought Ayurveda was all rituals and strict wellness practices, but what I learned really changed my mind.
It turns out, the best gift Ayurveda gives us is the ability to listen to our own bodies. So you can determine how wellness really looks for YOU as an individual.
Sure, there are guidelines and recommendations (A LOT of recommendations!). But in the end, you get to decide what Swashta (“health” in Sanskrit) means for you. It’s different for everyone.

My role as an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach is to guide you through your own unique discovery journey and to share the tools and practices to get you where you want to get. Follow my linkinbio for booking a free 30 mins consultation.

Some of you have asked what it is that I do, since I combine many techniques and traditions in my work.

So, where to start?
First of all, I am a Counselor. I have studied a variety of counseling styles including Mental Health, Crisis, Trauma, Community Based, and Social Justice Counseling. My goal was to become a psychotherapist, but 3 months before the end of my program, both for personal and value-driven reasons, I decided to switch tracks within my program. I still got my MA in Guidance & Counseling, but I let go of the licensure process.

This is a decision I still struggle with because deep down, everything I do in my practice refers back to my training as a Mental Health Counselor. But there also is so much that I don’t resonate with within the traditional US mental health field, and I craved the opportunity to merge counseling with the holistic, alternative practices I am passionate about.

The other framework I utilize is Integrative Wellness and Life Transition Coaching. Even before finishing my Counseling program, I got a coaching certification through and started practicing on a side. Life Coaching allows me to bring in a refreshing, practical, and action-oriented approach which is very beneficial to my clients, especially when I pair it with more traditional mindfulness and compassion-based counseling.

These two frameworks form the baseline of my work, upon which I add a variety of tools and techniques according to the specific needs of my clients. Yoga, EFT, Somatics/Embodiment practices, and Social-Emotional Expressive Arts are some of those.

Recently, I added a certification as an Ayurvedic Womxn Wellness Lifestyle Coach through , which allows me to bring in an intuitive, feminine-form, ancient healing approach.
I am wholeheartedly in love with Ayurveda and you'll hear me talking a lot about it here because it has changed my life and the way I do business.

I can't wait to share more knowledge and wisdom with you taken from all these traditions!

Reframing Concepts of Feminine/Masculine: a conversation with Terra Gold

"Reframing Concepts of Feminine/Masculine for our Times" is a conversation I had with my inspiring teacher and mentor, and dear friend, Terra Gold from Terra Wellness

During this conversation we cover:
- How we can shift from thinking in terms of a Masculine/Feminine or Shiva/Shakti paradigm to a more inclusive, fluid, and non-binary yin/yang form within the Yoga space
-Why it's important for the LGBTQ+ community AND allies to reframe Masculine/Feminine definitions to be more inclusive
- My own personal experience as a q***r person in the yoga space and what it means for me to embody both energies vs. seeing them as separate and opposite forces.

This is a conversation that anyone can benefit from listening to! Listen to the end for a journaling reflection prompt

Happy Earth Day! 🌍❣️
*
Here's to last summer when I was being a free-spirited nymph in Nature.
*
I did feel very connected to Mama Earth then, as for a few months, the sky was my roof, the rivers my bathtub, the soil a safe haven to land my feet in. Among the chaos of my personal life and everything else that 2020 brought, Nature has been my solace, my spiritual practice, and literally my home.
*
I'm eternally grateful for that experience (which I'm sure I'll have again at some point!), for the gifts it brought, and for the privilege of moving around so freely.
*
But yes, it's a privilege. Traveling on occupied land - and enjoying its beauty as a tourist, not really belonging anywhere / and at the same time belonging everywhere.
*
Lately, I've been reflecting a lot on the meaning of belonging. I feel a deep need for rooting down in one place, for enjoying Nature in a very different way. I want to tend to the land, incorporate sustainable practices into my life, regenerate the soil, wild harvest botanicals and make healing products, grow a garden with my own hands, build a community that is grounded in a sense of respect for Mother Nature and its sacred cycles. I want to learn more with humility and then give back to the cultures that came before me in a land/planet that has welcomed me and nourished me - both locally and globally.
*
I don't know yet how this will take shape, but I'm calling it in. And this will have to mean less freedom of movement, more responsibility, more hard work to build a home base. Enjoying Nature more locally, more slowly and steadily, more sustainably.
So that I'll still be walking on this planet lightly, as gently as possible, but I won't just be passing by - I'll be staying and I'll be leaving this place better than I have found it.
🍀
And you, how do you want to celebrate Nature and its many gifts?
