I've definitely learned how important it is to really take care of yourself

so that way you can give so much more back

in everything you do and to everyone you meet

Morning!

Spirituality, health and wellness is something that I've been so passionate about

from such a young age

I love constantly learning about the mind, body, spirit connection

and I feel we can really learn something from each other

if we're able to share that knowledge

and I'm so excited to share with you some of the tools that have worked for me

and I really hope that they'll work for you too

In this series, I'll be opening up my little black book of wellness

to share to you all the special people and practices that really helped me in my life

First up, how to cultivate a healthy mind

I'm super excited to introduce you to my wonderful friend Holly Star

Holly Star is an intuitive energy healer

I love to do many different types of meditations

and TM meditation

is Transcendental meditation

where you get a mantra that's specifically for you

and you're not allowed to tell anyone else the mantra

medication in general is just an incredible tool for me

to just really calm my mind and help me go deep inside myself

You start to find your own language with it

You know just like crystals are medicines

or herbs are whatever

you start to resonate to certain ones

and I feel like meditation I think just keeps leading you down into a deeper and deeper

path to get to know the self

You really begin to create a relationship to what the self is

and it's connecting into it a little by more

by universal force

I use crystals throughout my daily life and throughout my house and even in my skincare line

Kora Organics

Cause I really believe in the healing power of crystals

so crystals have been used for thousands of years

they have incredible benefits

what's your take on crystals

I think each one has their own resonates

and I think you know everybody has their own unique experience with them

I think for some people they uplift

some people there's transformational qualities

So you're saying amethyst you feel is good for opening the intuition

yes opening the intuition and I think it's a great creative stone

just cause it's more of a visionary stone

and I think it connects with kinda finding home

which is inside of ourself I believe

I think it's a great mirror for that

so every time I come in I notice at the entry point this huge clear crystal quartz

that is undeniable

I feel like clear quartz always have this way of really setting a tone of positivity

higher vibrations

When people are coming through my front door

It's just great to kinda clear the energy and set the intention of positivity before

they work in the door

and that's why I really like having the clear quartz in the front

yeah it's a great welcoming

Another important part of my daily routine is the use of aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils.

Different essential oils

are super helpful for your general state of well-being

one of my favorite aromatherapy to use

is this little heart chakra aromatherapy blend

This oil was actually created for me by my aromatherapist

when I was going through a challenging time in my life

it really helped transformed that negativity that I was feeling at the time

and I carry it with me all the time now

in my handbag

and I put it on throughout the day

all my pulse points so

I put it on my wrist here

and I put it behind my ears

and I put it on in my actual heart chakra

and I find it that it really helps

and it's little things like this that you find

that really can work for you

It's a supercharged blend for aromatherapy oil

and these oils really help support your heart chakra and your general well-being

Next is the use of positive affirmations

We have the power over our mind and if we choose positive thoughts then we can uplift

ourselves

and we can uplift those around us

I'm such a big believer that I've written two books, actually for young women

Treasure Yourself and Empower Yourself

with that I've made these little positive affirmation cards

so, I can keep these little affirmation card next my bed at night

and so when I wake up in the morning, I pick them up and I shuffle them

Then I just randomly pick a card

I'm the creator of my life nothing happens by chance

Every thought

Every action has a reaction

I choose my words and thoughts carefully

as they create my world

so there you go

just as what I was talking about

so sometime's I'll even right a positive affirmation on my mirror

just as a little reminder

one of my favorite messages is

actually a positive message from my mother

and that is "Shine Your Light"

Shine your light

Finally I like to trade screen time for green time

so sometimes if I'm feeling overwhelmed or exhausted

I'll simply walk outside and put my feet in the grass

and it really helps energize and ground me

It connects me to nature and really helps me be in the present moment

It's a simple and effective tool
