Allow gravity to support us.
Allow the sky to adopt us.
In the daily life of the city there is a great need to reduce stimulating habits. There is a great call to slow down to create spaces for relaxation and repair, and take advantage of those spaces to cultivate essential vitality.
When we allow ourselves the opportunity to relax, the body can focus energy on its maintenance routines. Relaxation and rest result in:
When we relax the central nervous system, we reduce our susceptibility to stress, anxiety, hyperactivity, panic attacks, and insomnia.
We can connect with our space of Peace without having a rigid posture. Constantly observing how each part of the body feels. We review from feet to head how the skeleton, organs, tissues feel. Is there tension? We can do this lying on our backs, with legs open to hip width, arms along the torso, palms facing upward, chin slightly toward the chest. This allows gravity to support us completely and our awareness can go to the breath.
There are many techniques that help us relax: meditating, walking in nature, breathing, yoga, tai chi… Plants complement by helping to moderate the endocrine and nervous system, energizing the flow of energy in the body, improving our moods.
We can live from a place of inner peace when we take healing plants and lead a harmonious lifestyle, of conscious activity, serene sleep, spaces of silence, balanced and natural nutrition, sexuality and dynamic exercise. There are essential plants to help release tension from body and mind, which can dilute the impact of stress on our physiology, and possibly also prevent the consumption of antidepressants, anxiolytics, stimulants, sedatives, and other chemicals so common in our society today.

Likewise, to relax the mind we seek plants that relieve tension, calm the central nervous system and relax the mind; they usually have sweet, citric and floral qualities. Through infusion we not only take the healing virtues of plants but we also inhale their oils that enter directly to ease the mind.
