The Gift of Womanhood ~ Happy Holidays 2009!

Dear Women's Holistic Health & Natural Healing ❀♀♥ Friends,

Work. Home. Exercise. Shopping. Cleaning. Cooking. Gardening. Carpool. Dirty Diapers. Homework. Family. In-Laws. Pets. Medical Appointments. Birthdays. Holidays. Anniversaries. Decorating. Wrapping. Straightening up the wrapping!

When, oh when...
Do we have time to celebrate, to appreciate, to meditate on being women?

What does being a woman mean to you?

Regardless of what your definition of womanhood is, each of us reserves the right to cultivate and celebrate our womanhood as we see fit.

We spend so much of our time trying to look good, put on a smiley face : ) or controlling our womanhood for others (aah) !! Bras, girdles, tiny shoes, hair goo, hair bands, razors, waxing, tampons, douches, body sprays, makeup, fitness products, short skirts, long skirts, whatever the latest trend is--you name it, it's out there to help us look, smell, seem prettier, sexier, and yes, more 'womanly'!

Yet often in that process, our truest sense of womanhood, one that is defined personally by each woman, in harmony with her own, body, mind, heart, spirit and soul, according to her own rhythms, cycles, and sensibilities, and in connection with her deepest, truest self, is lost in the process.

My wish for you, for all of us, as women, in 2010 is that we become more 'Womanly' in all matters of life and love! In whatever ways are right for each of us...

I thank each of you for the gift of your womanly support in this group and for ALL that you do on this Earth, both that which is easily embraced by others AND the tiny, miracles of light, love, and peace you make in our world on a daily, basis.

Happy Holidays, Women, Ladies, Gals, Girls, Lasses, Daughters, Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, Nieces, Friends!

Here's to Womanhood in 2010~

Cheers!!

❀♀♥ News 12/17/09: Red Raspberry Leaf Tea / Women's Healing Holiday Gifts

Dear Women's Holistic Health & Natural Healing ❀♀♥ Friends,

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

Recently, I have received many inquiries regarding healing the breasts, uterus, and ovaries. In times of stress, it is quite common to develop inconsistencies in breast tissue, menstrual flow, and uterine sensitivity. One of the oldest, most utilized herbs for healing discomfort associated with female organs is red raspberry leaf tea. It also is commonly used to heal breast and uterine fibroids, aid pregnancy and delivery comfort, strengthen and tonify the uterus, heal mucous membranes, reduce inflammation, strengthen bone composition, relieve menopausal symptoms and boost the female immune system. Red raspberry leaf can be grown, purchased loose, ordered in bulk or bought from any number of tea companies as a single herb tea or in combination with other herbs.

Inclusion = Gratitude: Women's HH&NH ❀♀♥ Thanksgiving Newsletter

Dear Women's Holistic Health & Natural Healing ❀♀♥ Friends & Fans,

At a time in history when we are learning more about ourselves and those around us at the speed of a nano-second, Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to slow down, meditate on inclusion, and create ever-more wholeness in our intentions and actions.

Slowing down provides us the opportunity to evaluate how our actions, and even our thoughts, affect our individual health of body, mind, heart, spirit, and soul, as well as the health of our family, friends, neighbors, community, and even the earth.

Meditating on inclusion as a primary life goal reminds us as much to include a diverse array of healing foods in our diet, as being sensitive and respectful to our elders, other ways of living, and those that society marginalizes.

Acting on wholeness means that we have considered the larger picture of our lives and the history which we create in each and every moment--and that we are committed to choosing the wisest, most well-rounded, sustainable, life-giving action we can, in any given moment.

On Thanksgiving, we remember that it can take many generations to heal conflict and wounds of the past, whether familial or cross-cultural.

However, Thanksgiving also provides us many excellent reminders, opportunities, and 'teachable', in addition to 'learnable', moments...that show us we have have the power to heal the past and embrace a new future of inclusion, gratitude, and wholeness as the foundation of our personal, as well as communal, lives.

Happy, Healthy, Holistic Thanxgiving to all!!

XOhmm,
~Jennifer

Yogi Tea Woman's Mother To Be...





















Delicious and Delightful!

A friend invited me to a cup of Woman's Mother To Be Yogi Tea last night. We enjoyed the delicious flavor, relaxing effects, communal connection of drinking a woman-centered & supportive tea, and the spiritual relationship of imbibing in the particular herbs that women have been using for 1000's of years to heal ourselves. As a Holistic Health Coach & Consultant, specializing in Women's Wellness, I would recommend this tea to any woman experiencing general, reproductive discomfort or irregularities. Primary causes of female reproductive irregularities in Western culture include stress, excessive thinking & doing, lack of self-nourishment, loss of supportive woman-centered culture. Yogi Tea Woman's Mother To Be re-directs energies back to wellness of body, mind, emotions, and spirit, re-nourishes the female reproductive system (including uterus/breast tissue/etc), aids in the renewed promotion of women's community, stimulates & relaxes the female soul, and all-around cultivates the zen of womanhood! ❀♀☮
