SHAMATHA INSTRUCTION
Fix your posture.
Align it with heaven and earth.
You are a lightning rod between them.
Relax everything.
Let your past dissolve into the earth.
Let your future dissolve into space.
Let the present dissolve into your breath.
And then,
Forget everything you just did.
Stare directly into space and relax your mind.
Whatever happens, don't be concerned.
We make too big a deal of practice.
Relax,
If something occurs, fine.
If nothing occurs, fine.
The moment is empty.

"Perhaps you have also noticed a desire to eat more when you’re tired? This is no coincidence. Too little sleep swells concentrations of a hormone that makes you feel hungry while suppressing a companion hormone that otherwise signals food satisfaction. Despite being full, you still want to eat more. It’s a proven recipe for weight gain in sleep-deficient adults and children alike."

Hot Chocolate Recipe that Warms ✨and✨ Nourishes
As winter approaches we can focus on the nourishing yin and while also tending to yang. Indoor dry heat can leave the skin, eyes and hair begging for moisture, while our bones crave the gentle slow heat of a nearby fire or cozy blanket. What's a body to do!?
This recipe can address all immediate needs! Or at least, this is my experience.
1 teaspoon maple syrup
4 drops stevia (don't worry, the maple syrup will cut the bitterness!)
pinch salt, pinch cinnamon
1 cup of your favorite milk - I like goat or oat 🐐
1 tablespoon cacao, or more to taste
1 tablespoon grass fed gelatin sprinkled in while stirring vigorously
1/2 teaspoon grass fed butter or coconut oil
Add all ingredients in a a small saucepan, heat gently and whisk to combine. Add gelatin last while stirring and remove from heat to enjoy while wrapped in favorite blanket with legs raised 😉

How beautiful are these whole herbs, petals and salts in our
I N H A L E Clearing Herbal Bath Salts!?
Ingredient Spotligt: Salt
The ocean’s waters are filled with it, and naturally so are our bodies. Antiseptic, detoxifying, cleansing, and a wealth of natural healing properties, salt has a wide array of benefits.
The macro and trace minerals found in salts are necessary for our health and can actually be drawn into the bloodstream during a warm bath, aiding the other herbs and essential oils to hitch a ride.
As soaking ritual can also aid internal hydration while helping to replenish the body’s electrolytes. Soaking in a salt bath also helps to improve our overall immunity and balance our alkaline / acid levels. These salty soaks remove toxins from the bloodstream, with their intensive detoxification properties.
Enjoy yours.

Ghazal: Woman at the Well
: : : : : by Carolyne Wright
In this late season, who is the woman at the well
drawing water, reflecting on the woman at the well?
Millennial fissures in the well-rim, weed-choked cracks
where brackish water rises for the woman at the well.
At the bottom of the well shaft, the sky’s reflective eye
opens, closes on the shadow of the woman at the well.
Where are the rains of bygone eras? Preterite weather
yields more rusted bucketsful for the woman at the well.
Ancestral well of Jacob, where a weary traveler rests,
where Jesus asks for water from the woman at the well.
Oh plane trees of Samaria, in whose shade a stranger
speaks of artesian fault lines to the woman at the well!
Chaldean fountains, oases of date palms and minarets—
how they flourish in the dreams of the woman at the well!
Mirages of marble, pomegranate flowers, cedars of Baalbek
shimmer in the sight of the woman at the well.
On the night of destiny, the angel Gabriel descends
and hovers by the footprints of the woman at the well.
Jacob’s ladder leans against the door of heaven—
on the bottom rung, the woman at the well.
Women of Sychar, women of Shechem! Draw aside your veils,
reveal the features of the woman at the well.
Wise ones, why do you weep? Do you fear your fate
tips a mirror toward the woman at the well?
Oh artisan of sorrow, mystery’s precision, sit down
beside your sister, second self, the woman at the well.

The Oil Cleansing Method 🥑🥑🥑
Fact: Oil dissolves oil. One of the most basic principals of chemistry is that “like dissolves like.” The best way to dissolve a non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent similar in composition: Other oils. By using the right oils, you can cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and effectively, while replacing the dirty oil with beneficial ones extracted from natural botanicals, vegetables and fruit that heal, protect and nourish your skin.
When done properly and consistently, the OCM can clear the skin from issues like oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, blackheads, whiteheads and other problems caused by mild to moderate acne–while leaving your skin healthy, balanced and properly moisturized 🤍

Have you or someone you know been sick lately? It seems like there are all sorts of bugs going around. If you suspect you or a loved one have a viral cold or flu, here are some things you can do! 🤒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕️ UP the fluids! Hot herbal tea, broth and good ol' water are your besties here. Jade Immune Defense can be made into a hot tea 3 times a day during infection. Eastern medicinals, Ginger, lemon, honey, here we come! Link in bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛁 Have a hot Epsom salts bath - as hot as you can handle, to help you break a sweat and vent the pathogen. Remember to stay hydrated while you bathe. Get out of the bath carefully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧂 Gargle with warm salt water after every meal, and as often as possible to soothe and clean the throat, the salt will also help to break up phlegm and mucus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫖 Neti pot! Once or twice a day, or whenever you need to take a break from congestion.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛏 REST. Cancel your plans, bundle up, try to sleep, or at the very least curl up with something relaxing. A pet, a book, your hot water bottle ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😎 Watch this space! Green Empress Herbs will be adding some effective and luxurious products to this space SOON! All to help you get and stay healthy. is almost here!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

REST | SLEEP | DREAM⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
People try to get by with not enough sleep all the time. We think we can train our bodies to get by with less sleep - and perhaps that is not untrue. We are SO resilient. However, sleep deprivation will catch up with you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consider the evolutionary benefit not needing sleep would afford any species. Time where we are not eating, mating, migrating or able to defend ourselves would be considered redundant - if it wasn't so crucial to our health and survival. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I highly recommend the book Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker. He delves deep into the dreamscape of sleep - how to make the most of your time at rest, why it is so important and what happens to our bodies and our brains when we are sleep deprived. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I try to do the following before bed overnight: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📲🛏 Put my phone to bed in another room ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Read a book or magazine with soft warm lighting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕️ I drink 1 tsp of CALM magnesium in a small amount of hot water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥛2g of Myoinositol in some cool water - the wonders of this supplement will be saved for another day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🦹🏻♀️Ear plugs in! Eye mask on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤤 In bed by 10:30pm, please oh please let it be! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your sleepy rituals? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Mango, by Mary Oliver
One evening
I met the mango.
At first there were four or five of them
in a bowl.
They looked like stones you find
in the rivers of Pennsylvania
when the waters are low.
That size, and almost round.
Mossy green.
But this was a rich house, and clever too.
After salmon and salads,
mangoes for everyone appeared on blue plates,
each one cut in half and scored
and shoved forward from its rind, like an orange flower,
cubist and juicy.
When I began to eat
things happened.
All through the sweetness I heard voices,
men and women talking about something—
another country, and trouble.
It wasn’t my language, but I understood enough.
Jungles, and death. The ships
leaving the harbors, their holds
filled with mangoes.
Children, brushing the flies away
from their hot faces
as they worked in the fields.
Men, and guns.
The voices all ran together
so that I tasted them in the taste of the mango,
a sharp gravel in the flesh.
Later, in the kitchen, I saw the stones
like torn-out tongues
embedded in the honeyed centers.
They were talking among themselves—
family news,
a few lines of a song

Bentonite Clay is one of the main ingredients in this fresh and uplifting combination of organic essential oils, herbs, minerals and salts.
Bentonite Clay works through a process of "adsorption" - where it attaches to oils and impurities and removes them from the skin or from the digestive tract if taken internally.
It is formed from Volcanic ash and contains calcium, magnesium and iron.
We'd love to hear how your skin feels and looks after a bath with our power packed salts!

You can see the whole plant here, leaves, branches, the little trunk, and roots.
We can't always see into the inner workings of our body, just like the roots of a plant are often hidden. There are always signs for those who are looking though!
In Asian medicine, we check in with all the body systems, as well as tongue and pulse qualities, in order to bring a full picture of one's health into focus.
Often, interesting "signs" are considered normal, when in fact they are simply common.
Using acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle modification, we can support all constitutions to come back into health or to excel from an already advantageous starting point.

Aaaaahhh - you can almost taste the fresh air! Our intestinal cell wall looks very similar to this, lined with "villi" which are finger like projections that wave up at our food to absorb nutrients and shoo the food matter down our GI tracts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Inflammation is one of the biggest reasons for not only malabsorption of food and gastrointestinal upsets, but can also contribute to feelings of fatigue, foggy-headedness and mood disorders. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In fact, when you catch a cold or the flu, the severity of your symptoms (or whether you catch one at all!) can have a lot to do with the state of your gut health! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep your Jade Immune Defense on hand this winter, but remember to nourish your gut! What are your favorite techniques? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mine are - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * chew food thoroughly⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * take a swig of Apple Cider Vinegar with bigger or heavier meals - HCL with pepsin is great too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * Add ginger to a meal once a day, or take a capsule if you cant fit it in!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * Give yourself a break from the most inflammatory foods once in a while and reintroduce slowly to check your body's response to them (dairy ahem! gluten ahem! eggs, nuts, grains ahem!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jadeimmunedefense #lemon #honey #ginger #keepyourfriendssafe #viralcoldsandflu #allergies #tastytasty #herbalmedicine #tcm #chinesemateriamedica #reusable #compostable #respectyourmama⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @moonjuice
