want to strengthen your relationship(s)? start here.

need a little more oxytocin in your life? the smell of Mother Earth (soil, dirt, humus) has been proven to have a psychological effect on us – stimulating the release of this hormone. it gives us the same feeling that promotes relationship bonds, so a living plant in your space can be a really good thing!

a few other ways to tend to the *people* energy under your roof:

use charcoal (available at art supply stores) when you need to slow down or pull energy inward – especially during emotional challenges or when arguments seem to be happening more often. buy a few sticks and place them in a bowl somewhere near the center of your home.

make it a ritual to put fresh flowers out when you want to enhance your relationship with a loved one – living chi (especially at the center of the home) strengthens those bonds.

once a day, step outside into the grass and speak your thanks to Mother Earth – that brief moment of gratitude and restoration will bring her reciprocity and energy back into the house with you. xo
