Gentle reminder during this season to slow down, breathe deeply, pause, enjoy an island of respite if even for a few moments. It’s easy to get swept away by activity and perceived responsibilities of the season.
The body responds to these nods and whispers that you are wearing your earth suit with compassion.
I love breath practice because you can do it anywhere, you have to do it so why not bring consciousness into the equation.
Deep
Slow
Quiet
Rhythmic
Heart focused breathing will restore and harmonize your heart rate and nervous system.
Slows you down even if you are on the go.
So easy.
So simple.
Free.
Available to you 24/7.
Your breath is the most innate part of who you are. It blends the physical and soul into the tapestry that is the beautiful you❣️

Here’s looking at you babe!
In case we run into each other, which we will, I thought you might appreciate knowing you are no longer looking for a light brown haired woman.
After more than two decades of concealing the graying and whitening of my hair, I decided it was time to try a color that was moving in the direction of my natural color. My every three week maintenance appointments had become a drag.
This is the scoop. When something depletes your energy, it’s time to switch it up and make a move towards something that fuels you.
Following where your energy wants to flow with no resistance is a key to sustained long term health and happiness.
I’ve had a positive buzz since I embraced my inner silver 🦊

The condition of your energy body is the bedrock of your health.
Be curious about what is fueling vs depleting. Go in the direction that provides emotions that are fueling to your system. You will find positive health outcomes there.
That’s researched and scientifically proven by

What does self care mean to you?
I’ve learned that self care is so much easier and cheaper than I use to make it.
AND it is more vitally important than I previously acted upon.
Today I treat self care as a sacred daily practice.
Bonus: #selfcare is actually free.
It starts some place so very basic that it’s easily missed.
Can you guess where self care begins?

You’ve got it.

Your breath.

Your breath is the entry point for self awareness, self compassion and self care.

Your breath reflects the state of your nervous system and your heart’s condition and the over all health of your physiology.
Self care goes way beyond fleeting activities that provide a temporary boost and quickly fade away.
As we slip into the holiday season where many of us women leave ourselves behind, self care is a compelling conversation.

I’ll be facilitating an intimate conversation about self care tomorrow night @The.Wing #Chicago sponsored by @womenoftheworldnetwork
DM @lisayogamom to RSVP
This conversation is on us but we do need to know if you’ll be joining us.

Today is World Mental Health Day. ✌🏻🥰🌈
At this moment in history, a collective recognition of mental health feels utterly necessary. We’ve come a long way but there’s still a stigma attached to mental health.
Do you have #mentalhealthpractices ?
My mental health practices are grounded in a practice I’ve enjoyed for many years.
It’s simply dedicating time before I start each day for a quiet time. This is my non-negotiable.
Through the years, the elements have varied but the essence is to connect with myself, my higher power and guides.
In this photo, I’m using a prayer mala designed under the direction of @golden_sol_malas
Inhaling and exhaling as I touch each bead, slows my heart rate, quiets my thoughts and centers my spirit.
That’s one way I experience mental health.
I also get help from my #mentalhealthprofessional when I feel “over my head.” There have been four distinct times in my life when I needed the support of a mental health professional.
I have been fortunate to have found amazing therapists through the years who are real healers and helpers. Community is another Vitally important component of my #mentalhealth

I s l o w e d our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding way down by purposefully Be-ing present in every moment.
I put my phone,distractions and insecurities aside and stood in each moment with a spirit of love and gratitude.
Two people loving each other, coming together before their community to join their lives and families. That deserves a celebration, and celebrate we did!
This cute Swedish practice called #fika embodies how I felt during the week’s worth of festivities.
These are the good things in life that deserve a pause and a deep bow.
My heart can barely contain my joy and gratitude.
p.s. we have the best in-laws ever. Thankful.
Shout out to our #weddingplanner @debililly for creating the ambiance and minding the details so that we could enjoy fika❣️

This is me.
Thinking.
Listening.
Strategizing.
Putting the pieces of a client’s story together. 🥰🤸🏼‍♀️💚💛🧡💙💜🧘‍♀️💐 Functional Nutrition Health History Timelines provide a foundation for my work with clients.
We start from pre-birth and move through a client’s life to gather information that creates the story of where they are today. There’s a lot of paperwork and information sharing.
The process takes time and creative problem solving as we seek to understand with empathy what is going on inside their body that is inter-dependent on their mind and spirit.
Everything that has ever passed through a life is potentially noteworthy.
On the client side, this work, to quote one of my clients, is “not for the faint of heart.”
There are no quick fixes, not even just one or two.
It’s really a commitment to show up for yourself body, mind and soul.
Most of the time, I have a hard time explaining my process because although the tools I use client to client are similar, individuals are just that, individuals, unique and divinely created as a one and only.
Só, that dynamic makes my work deeply rewarding.
I stand on sacred space in each session.
You’ll hear me talk and write about #aromatherapy #functionalnutrition #kaiutyoga #nature #foodasmedicine #stress #energy #makingpeacewiththepast #forgiveness #mentalhealth #hormones #guthealth
#issuesinyourtissues #essentialoils #PTSD #lighttherapy because they all factor into the healing process. Empowering women’s wellness and health is one reason I created my #VitallyYou holistic health mastermind. The process offers the 1:1 support necessary for the bio-individuality of each health journey and group support in honor of the power of having a tribe behind our efforts.
Maybe you are at a crossroad in life and you need that kind of full on 💯 up-leveled support and understanding of your body, mind spirit health and wellness.
When you are ready, I’m here. 🙏🏻Namaste💫 #fnlp photo 💛 @rhondaholcomb
