I just realized it is Friday the 13th, chills. I've never been into what I may perceive as darkness; scary movies, anything gory, death metal or any music that sounds like intense screaming so Friday the 13th carries little weight for me. I'm a kind of a scaredy cat and when Grace wants to watch movies around Halloween, I simply I refuse. I try to explain to her that I am a vivid dreamer and the things I watch affect my dreams and I even though I am a grown up, nightmares still occur. 13-year-olds don't really understand this but someday when she had lived as much life as I have, she will.
I am on a road to wellness in complete form and I have been healing myself with my mind and music for as long as I can remember. That's not to say I haven't had to endure surgeries and illnesses, but what it means is that I am deeply aware of the mind/body connection. When I'm emotionally unwell, my body follows that path. This is my experience so only keep reading if you relate.
I recently posted a video that Fiona Apple posted five years ago which was a technique I hadn't known about but I have always tried to replace negative thoughts or scary thoughts with positive thoughts when they enter my mind. It's like turning a light switch, it's down, immediately turn it up. And it definitely takes time if you've been ruminating on a fear or trauma for a long period of time. So, we as humans must stay committed to the health of our minds and balancing our nervous systems; no one else is going to do it for us and energy attracts and affects energy. When science, specifically quantum physics meets the spiritual and mystical, this is where I live.
I've used these tinctures for quite some time and if you're looking for additional ways to keep balanced, these things have made a difference for me. Yes, we are all ONE, however our bodies are uniquely their own and respond differently so this is not medical advice and I am not a doctor; just an intuitive and sensitive slow earth worm soul who digs deep to find relief in a fast-paced society :)

I am heavy into Fiona Apple right now so I might list a couple tracks to check out on Spotify later from her but in the meantime, here is a song I recorded in my old home studio before I became MOM, now my bedroom. There are certain songs I never intended on releasing but I'm in a letting go mode, put it out there, share and maybe someone will get some peace or relatable feeling from it. It all ties together ;)
