A good reminder that caring for your mental health is an everyday practice, not just an idea. Small, intentional choices like setting boundaries, asking for support, and taking time to reset can make a big difference. 🌱🧠

Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Not just something to agree with… something to actually practice.

Taking care of your mental health can look like:
• setting boundaries
• asking for support
• taking breaks without guilt
• checking in with yourself, even on the “good” days

Your body has built-in ways to restore balance—and sometimes, that looks like letting the tears flow. Honoring your emotions is part of healing. 🌿

Meet Abbey, the newest member of our team at OIC!

Abbey has four years of front desk and scheduling experience, plus a whole lot of heart to back it up. They always work towards creating an inviting and safe environment for those around them—they're here to make sure that each patient receives a welcoming smile and friendly “hello” when they come in.

Abbey is also a self-proclaimed huge nerd—they love science, comics, and TTRPGs. In their free time, Abbey can be found playing D&D with their friends, exploring local nature paths, and working towards completing their ever growing drawing/animating/crafting works-in-progress list. They also enjoy spending time with their boyfriend Chris and their mini rex rabbit, Radagast.

As if that weren't enough to keep anyone busy—Abbey is currently working towards a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration in hopes of making the world more vibrant. We'd say they're doing a great job of it already. 😊

Help us welcome Abbey, and make sure to say hi if you see them around the clinic! 💜

🌎 You don’t live separate from the environment. You live inside it.

It's the air you breathe. The water you drink. The spaces you move through every day.

calls us to remember that we are part of this planet.

Environmental health is human health.

Today, you're invited to consider how caring for the world around you is also a vital aspect of self-care:

🌱 Spend time outside
🌱 Choose products and practices that support sustainable wellbeing
🌱 Create spaces that feel clean, calm, and supportive

Instead of thinking about "saving the planet," try narrowing your scope. Bring it a little closer to home—to what's actually within your control. Ask:

🌱 What helps me feel more connected to the world around me?
🌱 What small choices support both my wellbeing AND the environment?

Because healing isn't just an inside job—it happens in relationship with the world around us.

That exhale moment says it all 😮‍💨
Safety, regulation, and healing start here. 🌿

Your nervous system speaks in sensation, signal, and safety.

When you tap on these specific meridian endpoints, you’re stimulating mechanoreceptors — the sensory cells in your skin that detect pressure and touch. They send a calming signal straight up through your vagus nerve to the brain, telling your amygdala (your body’s alarm system) to power down. So when you tap while tuning into what’s stressing you, you’re sending your body a message it actually understands: the threat has passed. You can stand down.

Have you ever felt that moment when Tapping where your whole body just… exhales? 😮‍💨

🌱 Spring isn’t just for cleaning your space—it’s for grounding your energy.

If you're new to energy work, begin here:

🧘‍♀️ At your roots.

The root chakra is located at the base of your spine, and it's associated with safety, stability, and feeling at home in your body. When it’s supported, you feel grounded, present, and able to move through life with more ease.

Try one (or more!) of these ways to connect with your root chakra this spring:

🔴 Yoga Pose:
Malasana/Yogic Squat

🔴 Affirmation:
“I am safe, supported, and grounded in my body.”

🔴 Chant / Sound:
LAM (pronounced “lum”)
The seed sound of the root chakra—try repeating it slowly to create a sense of stability.

🔴 Food:
Root vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots, beets)
Think foods that literally grow in the earth—nourishing, stabilizing, and grounding.

🔴 Mudra:
Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra)
Touch your ring finger to your thumb, rest your hands on your knees—supports grounding and balance.

🔴 Essential Oil:
Vetiver
Deep, earthy, and calming—often used to promote relaxation and nervous system support.

🔴 Journal Prompt:
“What helps me feel safe, supported, and at home in myself?”

🔴 Meditation:
Body scan meditation
Slowly bring awareness from head to toe, noticing sensations and reconnecting with your physical body.

🔴 Breath Practice:
Extended exhale breathing
Inhale for 4, exhale for 6–8. Longer exhales help signal safety to your nervous system.

🔴 Environmental Adjustment:
Declutter + simplify one small space
Creating order externally can support a sense of internal stability.

Instead of asking, “What should I fix?" try asking: “What would help me feel safe, steady, and supported?”

Self-awareness creates space for growth 🌿 When we slow down and tune in, we can begin to move toward the changes we’ve been needing.

On offer is the self-awareness and initiative needed to finally make those changes you've been thinking about.

There is another side of yoga—one you might not see on social media.

Not just flows.
Not just poses.
But the deeper questions behind it all.

The J. Brown Yoga Talks Podcast is all about leaning into those questions. We love that it features candid conversations with a diverse array of teachers, thinkers, and practitioners—so you're never getting a one-sided perspective.

The common thread that links them all is this: yoga is more than an exercise class. If you're open to it, it can become a practice that stretches and strengthens not just your body, but your mind, your emotions, and your spirit.

🪷 It can transform your whole worldview.
🪷 It can help you explore the biggest questions human being ever ask.
🪷 It can be a container to hold your own real, lived experience, without the need to force or fake anything.

We know: letting go of preconceptions can be hard. Our culture might have given you the impression that it's all about looking cool—coordinating the cutest mat + outfit combo, twisting like a pretzel, impressing everyone else in class.

If we're honest, though? We think most people want better than that. If you’re seeking a more grounded, authentic perspective on yoga and wellness, take a listen. 💜

👉

Candid conversations about yoga and beyond. From yoga philosophy, to the business of yoga, to subjects unrelated to yoga, J and his esteemed guests always have something interesting to say.

This is what most of us get wrong about healing:

We push and strive.
We feel the pressure to do more, to be better every day.
We get angry when we can't see improvements, or when our pain doesn't disappear.

But what are we trying to prove? What is the purpose of it all?

In a world that's always hungry for the next hack, the next optimization trick, it can almost feel wrong to embrace yourself completely—as you are, pain and all.

But healing can't happen until you stop trying to be someone else. Your hurt—whether it's physical, mental, or emotional—is a message.

It's calling you to come home to who you already are. 💜

Every step towards healing counts. 🌿

Forward is still forward.
