Living Sublimely Well Integrating holistic modalities to help you tap into the joys of life. That's Living Sublimely Well. What was I trying to do that humid morning?

The Backstory...
At 6:38 AM, I flew over the handlebars and crashed to the ground, my bike pinning me under it. Too many things to name! Most of my career I was a non-stop, can’t sit still, mover and shaker. A successful nurse researcher, living the dream, and then…

BAM! Everything changed. I fractured my elbow, required surgery, and developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It took me close to six months to realize… there’s more to life than running the hamster wheel. With time & space for healing, I found truth in the saying, “Everything happens for a reason.”

I've left my nursing career for a healthier, happier life at Living Sublimely Well. I teach gentle yoga and qigong, providing healing modalities to the community. As a certified holistic nurse, yoga instructor, and plant grower, I help people stay accountable to the joys of living a healthy, happy life. Feel free to reach out.

GRASS

Honestly, I hate grass. Despise it.

In my opinion, grass is the MOST OBNOXIOUS w**d there is. Crab grass. Stilt grass. Bermuda grass. I hate them all. If I could get rid of all the grass I would.

And, to think, I enjoy cutting the grass 🤣🤣

Seriously- worst w**d ever. Hard to pull. Invades everything. Creeps and crawls everywhere.

Grass is the worst w**d in my gardens… what’s yours?

Cardinal Flower

What a beautiful plant 😍❤️😍

This is one of the reasons why I love planting perennials out in the garden in the fall.

I have about two dozen red Cardinal flowers ready to go. $10 per plant or three for $25.

The red Cardinal flowers are hummingbird and pollinator magnets!!

Located in Parkton. Grown from seed. Message me if interested; by appointment only.

This second week of chakra yoga was fun cause orange is such a cheerful, vibrant, and grounding color.

Orange combines the physical energy of red with the happiness of yellow, emulating vitality, warmth, and self-respect.

Orange represents creativity, passion, and emotional flow.

What activities put you in a flow state? What are you passionate about? When or where do you feel most creative?

Crescent Moon

Tonight we practiced Banana pose. As we get into it- I often offer the image of the crescent moon as a way for students to visualize what we’re aiming for.

Banana pose is one of the yoga poses that stretches the hips.

Since we’re going through the second chakra this week, the Sacral chakra, we focused our practice on hip stretches.

We also practiced low lunges, half splits, twists, zen swings, willow tree, and others.

What’s your favorite way to stretch your hips? Do you notice when your hips are tight? How do you stretch them out? Favorite yoga poses for hips??

O R A N G E

Orange you glad you came to yoga tonight?
🤣🤣🤣

All (corny) jokes aside, this week’s yoga classes are focused on the second chakra… the Sacral chakra.

The second chakra is located in the pelvis/hips/waist region and the associated color is orange.

The element is water and because of that- the related foods are those with more water. Think teas, juices, water (🙃), and juicy fruits and vegetables. Citrus, berries, cabbage, melons, etc.

Honestly, orange is one of my favorite colors (besides blue). I love a bright, vibrant orange!

Do you like the color orange? Why/why not?
What’s your favorite orange colored food/drink?
What’s your favorite body of water? What do you like about it? How do you enjoy it?

Don’t let the frost end your tomato season. Before the frost comes for your tomato plants, harvest the green tomatoes for green tomato jam.

Gather 3-4 pounds of unblemished green tomatoes. Give them a rough chop. Add about two inches of roughly chopped ginger. Pulse until chunky in the blender or food processor.

Put green tomatoes and ginger into a large pot and add 28 ounces of sugar (about 4 cups), the zest from one lemon, three tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon (or more if you like) of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, and (I added it, but it’s optional) 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.

Bring everything to a boil, mixing well to dissolve the sugar and combine everything together. Once boiling, reduce temperature and allow to simmer 30 minutes to an hour. You’re aiming for apple butter consistency.

Then, you can pour into jars and run it through the water bath canner for 10 minutes or you can simply refrigerate and enjoy.

So, so yummy!

Have you ever made green tomato jam before?

My heart

This week in our first class of the season, we’ve been reflecting on feeling grounded, connected, and stable.

Is this guy all of that all the time? (Any of the time 🙃)

That’s a BIG he!! NO 😂

However, providing him with a joyful experience, seeing his ridiculously adorable face, and knowing he trusts in me- yup. I’d give Buster the 100% security blanket. 💜

What about you? Who lights you up? Brings a smile to your face..

GROUNDING

In our autumn yoga session, we’re adventuring through the seven chakras (aka, energy centers in the body).

The first is the root, located at the base of the spine. It’s all about feeling connected, grounded, secure, and stable.

There are certain yoga poses that energize the root chakra. Some are mountain, childs, dragonfly, butterfly, locust, bridge, forward folds, tree, and warrior I/II.

Which one makes you feel the most grounded? Any of these or any others that make you feel steady and stable??

For me, it’s wide legged forward folds. When you intentionally pull the tail towards the sky, let the head/shoulders hang heavy, and firmly plant the feet— ahhh…. So pleasantly grounding 💜

Which is it for you?

Where do you feel safest? When do you feel most connected? With whom do you feel most uncomfortable?

Yoga is often focused on flexibility, specifically spine health. An ancient yogi philosopher said, “We are as youthful as the spine is flexible.”

The spine is not just a physical part of the body, but has an energetic element as well. The chakras, subtle energy centers of the body, are found up and down the spine.

The first is located at the root- the base of the spine. It is the center of stability, safety, and security.

A healthy root chakra means you’re grounded, connected, and sure. You’re supported and feel safe.

So…

Where do you feel safest? When do you feel most connected? With whom do you feel most uncomfortable?
