This weekend presents a special opportunity for healing, rest, and receiving spiritual transmissions as the new moon falls just days before the winter solstice. I have completed several 72-hour water fasts. I love this medicine and I am so excited to share it with you! I'll tell you everything I've learned so far from study and experience to make your fast as successful and enjoyable as possible. Together we will cleanse and purge and quietly go within to connect with our higher selves during the darkest days of the year. Join this free challenge to learn the best ways to enjoy a fast, share your experience with a supportive community, and tap into the medicine of your true self. The fast starts at 4 PM on Thursday, December 18th and ends at 4 PM on Sunday, December 21st. The protocols will be available here on Monday the 15th so you can have some time to prepare. I'll be sharing what to eat leading up to the fast, the best way to get past hunger, how to be comfortable, what to do while you're fasting, and how to break your fast. If there's interest, we'll have a Live Q&A at the beginning of next week where I will talk you through how to prepare and what to expect and answer all of your questions. Add any questions you'd like for me to answer in the comments or shoot me a DM for anonymous support. 💜

First off, I never use shampoo, conditioner, dye, or styling products. I think putting poisons on your head is crazy! That's just me though haha ;-) Nonetheless, I love my long dark hair, so I use these practices to keep it thick and healthy, naturally: 1. Every night, before bed, I use a sandalwood comb and follow a technique I learned from Traditional Chinese Medicine to stimulate the many acupressure points on the scalp. This also stimulates circulation and helps distribute natural protective oils from the root down the length of the hair. BONUS: This is my favorite part of my bedtime routine! Combing out the hair helps to dangle the mind and release stress and worries. It's a great way to release the cares of the day. Plus it feels so good, it really helps me unwind and get ready for rest. 2. About once a week, I treat myself to a scalp treatment. I make a homemade blend of heavy, nutrient-rich oils and essential oils and apply it generously to my entire scalp, then massage it in, using my nails to help stimulate circulation and increase penetration of the oils. If possible, I do this before being exposed to heat or sunlight to enhance absorption. So, if I'm going to go hiking or sunbathe or if I'm taking a hot bath or using the sauna, I'll apply the oil first so it can really sink in. Here's the recipe for the blend I'm using currently: Base oil blend: - Sesame Oil - Jojoba Oil - Argan Oil - Black Seed Oil Essential oils: - Rosemary - Ylang Ylang - Lavender - Peppermint - Cedarwood - Rose - Frankincense Use a glass pump bottle for easy application!! Part your hair down the middle and apply oil generously to the part. Then do the same with side parts on either side and a few lines down the back of your head until your scalp is entirely covered and then enjoy working the oils into your scalp. It's so indulgent! It's more of a treat than a chore! :) 3. Sometimes the end of my hair gets dry and dull. When the ends look ready for a trim, instead of reaching for the scissors, I apply a blend of light, moisturizing oils and essential oils to bring my hair back to life.
