  • Herbs and Plants are wonderful beings to help us when we need a little Self-Care. For smudging I was using Bay, Sage, Mugwort and Rosemary - details of their properties below. We all need to love ourselves and herbs and plants can help us to do just that. Here I share several ways that I include my favourite plants and herbs in Self Care. Please let me know what you do. I do mindful walking, pick a bouquet of "weeds" from my garden; enjoy a Rose infused oil for a hand massage; smudge my auric field with Bay; enjoy a footbath of Rose and Rosemary and a lovely cup of tea with Chamomile and Rose.
    If you are interested in Herbal Medicine consider my course I"ntroduction to Herbal Medicine" - www.danusirish... and my course - Wise Woman Way includes working with plants using druidic and shamanic techniques - www.danusirish... The Weed Handbooks are collections of monographs that detail the medicinal and magical uses of herbs and they can be found here along with cards and flower essences www.danusirish...
    My latest course is one that can also help you feel closer with plants and a deeper connection with Nature - www.danusirish...
    The energetic properties of the plants I worked with here are -
    Bay Leaf - Purification, Protection, Psychic Powers
    Sage - Protection, Longevity, Wisdom
    Rosemary - Protection, Purification, Healing
    Rose - Protection, Healing, Love,
    Mugwort - Protection, Healing, Strength, Psychic Powers
    Chamomile - Purification, Protection, Healing, Sleep
    Other herbs and plants for protection include - Agrimony, Angelica, Birch, Figwort, Nettle and St. John's Wort to name just a few. For purification you could also work with Cedar, Euphorbia, Fennel, Lavender, Vervain and others.

    As women we have been taught to always take care of the people around us. Unfortunately, that doesn't usually include ourselves. Self-care seems to be near the bottom of our to-do lists. Thank you for this very important reminder and helpful ways to take care of myself! Being in my garden or just sitting and watching the birds calms me. I'm also learning about the art of doing nothing, and that it's OK to ignore my never-ending To-Do list for a while.

      Yes to everything you said! When I'm walking in the summer, I have a hard time not veering off before I even get a mile in. I walk in a very long driveway.....so I then see the chicken coop....did they poop in the water?...... Oh, I need to check the beans, or whatever.... This month, I'm putting my health first. A few 'floor exercises', sit-ups and such, walking without veering off, etc.

    Thank you for these great self-care ideas and the reminder to practice them regularly. As I've gotten older I'm much better at self-care. On my walks I've been using the alphabet to inspire positive "I am" affirmations starting with the letter A. "I am awesome" for example. I find I'm walking with a big smile, often laughing and feel fabulous. Bubble baths, taking time to read novels, eating delicious wild food (mostly weeds and berries), petting my purring cat, tending the garden, getting a good night's sleep, laughing with friends and my dear 4 year old grandson, are some of my favorite self-care activities

    Dear Terri and Lol... Well that was timely and wonderful at the same time. I believe we are all in need of a bit of self care. Lifes daily goings on cause stress whether we know it or choose to ignore it, it's real. These were excellent suggestions and I plan to do each one this week ! I loved seeing your wildflower bouquet and the foot bath looked especially inviting. I'm on my feet a good part of every day and often forget that they need attention too. Thank you both for taking part of your Sunday to encourage and enlighten us every week. Much sincere love to you both, along with jazz and brock for the smiles they bring us 💜🕯🐾🐾🕯💜

    I try to avoid stressful situations. As an empath, my feelings get severely wounded very easily. I do not watch the news. I do get some news online, picking and choosing what to watch. Since I'm retired, I don't have to get stressed out by people at work. Here on my little farm, I have my horses, dogs, cats, chickens. I prefer animals over people. The birds sing, the trees sway in the breeze. Right now, it takes me hours a day to pick red and black raspberries, blueberries, and vegetables. I DO need to take time for self care, even though growing most of my own food is self-care! And herbs, too, are always 'hanging around'. When I'm walking, I do my 'gratefuls', "Thank you Universe, for my land, my animals, the ability to walk, hot and cold running water comes out of my faucette, etc." I will also walk and say, "Let....go...." in a sing-songy way, The 'let' tone decreasing to a lower 'go' tone. I also enjoy music at different frequencies, like 852 Hz for example. You can feel the music working in your chakras, there are different frequencies for different chakras.

    Beautiful video Terri and Lol. How I envy you your cooler breezy sweater weather. It's sweltering here in Canada. Bad enough in ON, but the western provinces are burning up. I love your feather wand. I used to collect Canada goose feathers (all naturally discarded) yearly from a nature area. I've made many feather bouquets as smudge gifts. Your wildflower bouquet idea is uplifting to the spirit. Have a beautiful week and blessings from my place in the world.

    I spent two years homeless, which is hard the feet. So I would take coconut oil or grape seed oil down to the springs with me. I would soak my feet in the spring and find the perfect rock to use as a pumet stone. Then I would would massage the oils into my feet and hands. I need to get back into that routine. The minerals from the springs and the oil were amazing 😍

    Hi Terri…great suggestions! Will be incorporating the hand massage into my routine of self care. I use the sage clearing in my home as well as over myself and pets…I follow up with some sweet grass to invite good, positive spirits into the space. Another way to clear your aura is when showering use Sea Salt by scattering around the tub as you shower. Above, side to side and around your feet. Have a great week. Blessed be

    Hi Terri!
    My Sunday morning isn't complete without your mini meditation video!
    A shower is one of the main ways I cleanse. I have social anxiety so even just going to the store, or being with friends can do me in! I can only be with other people for maybe an hour or two. When the water comes over me, I just imagine all the negativity washing away with it. Incense is another way I cleanse. We are big incense burners in my house!
    I love your theme this week of self-care. My friend recently told me I should date....my response was, "how can I love someone else when I'm currently trying to love myself?" that may seem grim, but it encourages me to keep on going with myself love and acceptance!
    Anyway I'm rambling!😹
    As my favorite music group always says:
    Love Yourself, Speak Yourself!💜

    My best remedy for “all that is happening in the world today”, and most of which I can’t do anything about, is to stay away from television, the news in general, Internet Media, Social Media Platforms etc….it works the best for me along with Self - Care as a routine…ya know people say there are so many challenging circumstances going on in the world today than ever before. I don’t necessary think that there is more today than ever before, it’s just that communications have evolved so that we all hear and see about it so much more. Unless I can change it first hand for the positive, what I don’t know is for the better …. I’m sure, if gets close enough where I can make a difference, I’m certain to hear about it …no getting around that 😉❤❤❤

    I smudge all new and pre used stuff I buy, books, china, clothes, all things, I used white sage in the past, I use my home grown dried sage, I haven't made my own smudge stick yet, just burn the dried leaves in a shell, I have an eagles feather too waft the smoke round me. I do mindful walking, I like that chant, I will use that in future. I am surprised how much beauty is missed by people they don't seem to have the time to smell the roses. I love walking in woodlands, and we often see rather grumpy looking buzzards sitting on the branches I also spend time with trees they are so wise, I have often with the trees permission downloaded negative and damaging energies all done while hugging the tree, I thank the tree and leave a gift of flowers or crystals. Trees love a conversation as well, I have often been guided by tree spirits and trees love to make us feel better and I like to heal the trees as well, I always know like with my animals if a plant, insect or trees are under the weather. I love a foot bath, I usually put lavender or peppermint in my foot bathing water I will try your mix next time I bathe my feet, making my own cream to massage into my feet, thought of rose and lavender. Thanks for all the wonderful tips💖

    Busy, Busy, Busy. 😢
    An old medicine man friend of mine traveled some in Europe. He found a certain type magnolia tree, that he said had the same properties as bay. He brought back home some seed, and now there is a huge magnolia tree in his side yard.
    He said that the tender new leaves of spring were the best time to harvest. His tree put out new baby plants each year at the base of the tree. He seemed to have found it in some emperor's special herb garden.

    That Navajo mantra reminds me quite a bit of the ancient Celtic Christian invocation that many now attribute to St Patrick as “St. Patrick’s Breastplate.” Christ before me Christ behind me ect. Beautiful how many cultures recognize that in all places and all times, the divine can be/ is there.

    I think it's very important to get outside our houses and into nature. I live in a big city (Nottingham), but even here there are "green-ways', what used to be railways, but shutdown, which many thought to be a bad thing, but now we have these green-ways dotted about all over, at least here. I am 2 minutes away from the nearest one, a good source of food and medicine too, we have dandelions, blackberries, apples (crab and regular), rosehips, nettle...

    • @DanusIrishHerbGarden

      I think it is vital to get out -when I lived in England we had some of those old railway tracks near to us and they are great assets for town and city dwellers. xx

    As soon as there are spring daffodils in my yard I start bringing in bouquets of blooms. At this point, early July, I'm cutting peonies and delphineum blooms for indoor bouquets. I also cut and bring in herbs that grow in my garden and around this place. There are tied bundles of herbs hanging and drying all around this one room cabin. All those plants make me feel better too. At the end of summer I'll have bouquets of dahlia blooms to bring inside and enjoy. Yes the big bad world is out there. All that negative disturbs me a lot. Fortunately I'm one of those lucky ones to have my home, in this small village, on the side of this tall mountain (9090 feet) with forests and glaciers all around along with my beautiful garden full of herbs, flowers and vegetables. Enjoy your summer and garden. Cheers!

    Thank you for this lovely video, Terri! These are all wonderful tips for self-care. For my own self-care, I would also include cooking and eating healthfully. When I'm "on the edge," I'm so tempted to eat junk. But that only makes me feel worse! If I can hold it together long enough to remember this, the act of cooking and eating something healthful (and beautiful!) can nourish me body and soul. ~Audrey
