A little for those days when you feel stuck.

1 black tea bag (I am fond of lapsang souchong when I have it because the smokiness is perfect. But use whatever works best for you!)

Cinnamon chips

Ginger root

Orange peel

Adjust the proportions to suit your taste. I tend to prefer a little more orange peel, but my aunt always preferred a more cinnamon-forward note.

As the tea steeps for 5 minutes, watch the steam for a moment. Say, "Heat to the herb, life to the bone. I'm taking back control, I'm taking back the throne."

Adding honey and milk to your tastes and sip your tea, visualizing pulling yourself out of your rut and breaking through obstacles.

I do this every morning. It makes my day feel intentional and starts me off centered. Try it. It might help you too 💕:

-Make your morning drink like normal

-Before the first sip, hold the cup in both hands. Feel the weight of the cup, take in the aroma of the drink

-Take three slow breaths

-Say (out loud or silently): "I am here. I am grounded. I am present in my body."

-Take the first sip slowly. Notice the taste of it, the temperature, how it feels going down your throat.

-Place your feet firmly on the floor. Slightly press into the ground.

-Say: "This day is manageable. I take it one step at a time. I am rooted."

I saw a post about dandelions that listed a bunch of uses in spells & recipes whilst also talking about how good they were for pollinators 🐝

When is a pollinator-friendly flower acceptable to pick?
