If you’ve been tossing, turning, or just lying awake with a brain that won’t quit—it’s okay. You’re not doing anything wrong. Life is full, your mind is busy, and rest doesn’t always come easy.

I want to share something that’s been making a huge difference for me …. my favorite before bed yoga sequence.

Just a few slow stretches. A couple of deep breaths. A pause before the lights go out. It’s less about doing yoga right and more about giving your body a moment to catch up and exhale from the day.

Feeling scattered or low-energy? This simple EFT (emotional freedom technique) tapping practice can help you clear the mental fog and shift into focus.

Tapping is used to:

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Improve focus and energy

• Process emotional overwhelm

• Break negative thought loops

• Ease physical discomfort

• Create a greater sense of clarity and calm

⚡ How It Works

The idea is that tapping on these meridian points helps to calm the nervous system, regulate energy flow, and reduce the intensity of emotional or physical symptoms. It's like acupuncture without the needles — blending the body's subtle energy system with mindful awareness.

Want to try making kitcheri yourself? Here's the recipe we’ll be using: Healing Ayurvedic Kitchari Recipe. We use these kinds of lentils sometimes instead of the mung beans also add avocado on the side and my kids love adding Bragg’s Coconut Aminos on top. Whether you’re an Ayurvedic foodie or just looking for something new to try, this recipe is a keeper!

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of it all. But what if you could take just a few minutes to pause, breathe, and reset? Meditation is a simple, powerful practice that can help you:

• Ease stress and quiet the mental chatter.

• Feel more connected to yourself and the people around you.

• Navigate life’s challenges with a bit more ease and grace.

Your Cozy Guide To Wintering Well….

Winter is the quieter season where our lives have the chance to gently reassemble.  So often, we try to keep the same pace as before, but what if we followed our true nature instead—expanding our spare time and embracing the cozier, more contemplative rhythms of the season?

And when spring arrives, you’ll emerge stronger, more whole, and more deeply yourself.
