Perimenopause and Me
Perimenopause is not something anyone told me about. These past few years I have been struggling with a constellation of symptoms….
Chant out loud
Music is a form of medicine and our nervous system is particularly tuned to the act of using our voice. This connection is due to the wandering nerve, also known as the vagus nerve or the 10th cranial nerve pair. This nerve innervates the vocal cords and the muscles of the throat (along with the heart, lungs, diaphragm, and digestive track – hence its “wandering” nickname). Turns out that the sages were right: chanting is a powerful tonic for our body mind.

I recently did an entire reframe around cleaning and it has made my life SO much better! I don’t mean to blow your mind but It turns out cleaning is exercise.
