All Hopped Up - Medicinal Benefits of Hops Herbal Jedi 2022-09-21 | Join me in exploring the many benefits that Hops offers, both as a hoppy wobbly pop (beer) and as a herbal medicine..Int his video you will learn how this potent plant can be helpful for issues such as: Anxiety, Tension, Insomnia, Digestion, Pain, Reproductive health and more… Even though beer is by far the most common way Hops is used these days, I find find a fresh tincture to be the most therapeutic, though it can also be made into a tea, poultice, or dream pillow, and makes a great addition to other fermented beverages such as kombuchas and meads. If you're looking to drink beer for its hoppy benefits, remember to go easy on it as many of the benefits become the opposite after 3 or 4. As well, it is best to look to local artisanal high hopped brew rather than a conventional large scale produced beer, if you are planing to get "All Hopped Up."Do you have experience in working with Hops as a Medicine? Please share your comments below.

One of my favourite Herbs for Anxiety Herbal Jedi 2022-08-18 | Join me in exploring the benefits of a group of herbs that are commonly found in the glacial wetland of the subalpine. Pedicularis spp.In the case of this example - Pedicularis racemosaPedicularis is primarily used as a skeletal muscle relaxant, though it also can be very effective at calming down certain types of anxiety and overwhelm. It can be a great choice if there is muscle tension and conditions associated with an overactive sympathetic nervous system, such as insomnia, emotional upset and overthinking. Its relaxant properties can help relieve tension headaches, as well as joint and muscle pain from sprains, strains, and overuse.Do you have any experience with this plant?If so, please share in the comments below...Botanical blessings, Yarrow www.yarrowwillard.comwww.harmonicarts.caSubscribe:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TheHarmonicArtsInstagram: http://instagram.com/herbal_jediFacebook: http://facebook.com/harmonicartsFilming and editing by Shane Philip: http://youtube.com/islandsoulfilmsWebsite: http://islandsoulfilmsFacebook: facebook.com/islandsoulfilms.youtube.com/watch?v=8eZMmZmrnnY&index=33&list=PLK38vasBbkM_KSrkueKgyZvC0MPsZQCyv

Spring Into Your Best Self in 2022 and Beyond... Herbal Jedi 2022-02-06 | The season is here for planting our seeds of intentions for the year to come.It's time to re-evaluate our priorities and make moves that align with our deepest values and most authentic self. In this video I share some thoughts on stepping out of reaction mode and into our more powerful selves. Let's face it, humanity has been through a lot the last few years. We've faced a major global pandemic. We've made bold movers towards tackling deep underline social, sexual and racial equality issues. And collectively we've shifted the majority of our social and business interactions to an online screen based environment. These shifts have many of us feeling disconnected from our roots, they have disrupted our communities and left us to our own devices to process the challenging emotions that come with such big changes.This is compounded by societies continual move towards external experts and social acceptance and away from self authorization and embodied wisdom. It is more important now than ever that we actively develop tools and practices to help realign with our inner voice and rekindled a deeper sense of inter-connectedness with the living world. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I appreciate you taking the time to hear this message and look forward to your thoughts in the COMMENTS below.Warm Blessings community, Happy Imbolc, Year of the Water Tiger,2022 and beyond..

Yellow Pond Lily | Medicinal Use and Health Benefits Herbal Jedi 2021-06-15 | Join me in learning about the medicinal uses and health benefits of Nuphar lutea, the Yellow Pond Lily. I’ve always had a deep love for the feeling I get when I’m sitting next to pond lilies in bloom. To me they are one of those transformational medicines... Not only do they have a beautiful clean flower that emerges from the stagnant muds of the marsh, but they also contain potent chemistry that is astringent, demulcent and cooling for hot and inflamed conditions. Plus the research being done on the nuphar alkaloids in Pond Lilly roots has shown some promising results for some forms of cancer and other chronic conditions.

This makes it the perfect time to get curious and tune in with wild chemistry. As a Rewilding practice, I love adding as much local genetic diversity and plant wisdom to my diet as I can in the spring. I believe this strengthens the immune system and helps teach my body how to be more resilient, and adaptive to the environment in which I live.I hope you learn something and enjoy this Spring Herb Walk. As part of the mission of deepening connection to plants as medicine,We put a bit of extra energy into this video as our Earth Day (Week, Year, Lifetime) offering. Ps.

3 Powerful Practices for setting Solstice/NewYears Intentions and Manifestations Herbal Jedi 2020-12-22 | Solstice and New Years Blessings Herbal Jedi Community. I appreciate all the time and energy each one if you have put into watching these videos and growing your own earth medicine Kin-nections. This video is of three practises I have found to be extremely useful in supporting my year and visioning work. Below is a list of each exercise in detail. I would love to hear from you in the COMMENTS below if you found this video useful. Y~1.) One word message burning release. Take a few minutes to distill your intentions for the new year down to one word. Keep that word in your minds eye and write it down on a piece of paper. Sit with it for a moment then light it on fire and release it to the universe with intention to grow into the message behind that word. When things are challenging, come back to that word and remind yourself of what your intention was. 2.) 30 minute reflection exercise, set a timer and spend 5 minutes on each journaling prompt. Put pen to paper, and let anything that comes to mind pour onto the page; there is no wrong answer.1. What were your darkest moments this year?2. What were your brightest moments this year?3. What did you learn?4. What are you ready to let go of, to compost?5. What are you seeding? What does your heart and soul really yearn to grow?6. Take the last 5 minutes to read over your writing. You may like to underline or highlight anything that stands out to you. 3.) Active Appreciation highlight reel journaling exercise. Start by recapping each month in chronological order writing down at least 3 to 4 bullet points or up to 1 page of details. Make sure to do this in chronological order as it builds momentum throughout the year. Use whatever tools you have to help jog your memory. Some examples to use that may help your memory are photo reels, Calendar, messaging apps, or banking statement. Only list the positive accomplishments and events. One day to one week later review your highlight reel give yourself a big congratulations for all the things you were able to accomplish this year and make a list of goals you are setting intention to achieve next year.
Entity Attachments 101 Herbal Jedi 2020-12-10 | All of us are prone to various forms of Entity attachment disorder throughout our lifetime. These are the holding patterns we develop as coping mechanisms for our disconnection from source, each other and the natural world. Think of entity attachments as the pathogenic side of your mental and emotional microbiome.They are a root cause for much of our modern day mental illness. If we want to be the best version of ourselves, it is essential that we do the work of removing these types of toxic attachments and patterns that don’t serve us. So I’d like to share a few ideas on how to do this work. 1. Make space to feel into the pain, suffering and struggle in yourself, others, and the world around you. Don’t avoid this work, don’t let distraction, numbing or busyness consume your free time. 2. Build a practice of mindful connection. Meditation, Nature walks and journaling are a great place to start. 3. Do regular cleansing work. Cleanse the diet by removing simple carbs, dairy, stimulants and alcohol. While adding in herbal protocols that support the kidneys, liver, digestive system. Do this for 2 weeks 1-2 times a year (spring and fall are ideal).Also take a social media and or Internet fast for 2 weeks to a month every year. 4. Entity attachment clearing. There are many ways to do this, but here are 2 simple meditations I have found useful. —————————6-8 breath clearing meditation. In a quiet place sit with hands on your knees and your fingers forming mudras. Start with pointer finger and your thumb connected. With each breath connect your thumb to the next finger. When you reach your pinky go back to your pointer. 5 second inhale, 5 second exhale, 5 second hold. At the end of holding, pulse your eyes in, up and down. Move on to the next mudra with each breath and repeat 6-8 times. *This can also be done without the mudras, envisioning pyramidal focal points above the head and below the feet, like mentioned in the video. —————————Ball of light meditation. In a quiet place, sit or lay on your back. Calm your mind and deepen your breath. With each breath, build a ball of light at the centre of your navel. After 5-8 breaths, purse your lips and blow out your breath with force, expanding the ball of light around your body. Take 5 more breaths to stabilize this space, this is a safe container for higher-self connection.www.yarrowwillard.comwww.harmonicarts.caSubscribe:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TheHarmonicArtsInstagram: http://instagram.com/herbal_jediFacebook: http://facebook.com/harmonicartsFilming and editing by Shane Philip: http://youtube.com/islandsoulfilmsWebsite: http://islandsoulfilmsFacebook: facebook.com/islandsoulfilms.youtube.com/watch?v=8eZMmZmrnnY&index=33&list=PLK38vasBbkM_KSrkueKgyZvC0MPsZQCyv

Shadrack Interview - Kenyan Herbalist Herbal Jedi 2020-06-09 | Hey Herbal Community, With all the awareness around inequality and privilege bubbling to the surface in the world right now, it struck me as odd that there is little information or knowledge being shared from African Herbal Traditions. Why is this the case, when we have so much shared from other parts of the world? If you have any links to good African herbal resources, please add them to the comments.I wanted to share this interview Dionne Jennings did for Wild Rose College with my good friend Herbalist Shadrack Moimett, who traveled all the way from Kenya to join us for the 2019 Vancouver Island Herb Gathering.I first connected with Shadrack a number of years ago online when he reached out to me to learn more about western herbalism. Since then, through our dialog, I feel I have learned more from him than he did from me... What I love about Shadrack's message is that it is a simple and universal one.

Willow Bark Medicine, Magic and More... Herbal Jedi 2020-04-11 | Willow Medicine:Willow bark has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic (fever), and analgesic (painkiller).Therapeutically, willow bark can provide relief to those suffering from back pain, recurring headaches, muscle pains, menstrual cramps, arthritis symptoms and more.Willow bark contains a chemical called salicin which works in similar ways as aspirin. It also contains glycosides, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and other antioxidants, which support its anti-inflammatory and immune protective properties.Some other uses for Willow are as a digestive tonic, blood thinner, diuretic and as an antiseptic for eyewashes, dandruff, eczema, wound care, and gargle for sore throats and gums. Willow Magic:Willow also has a rich history of magical uses. It is one of the seven sacred Irish trees as well as sacred to many old world northern European cultures. Willow is considered to be ruled by the moon and associated with dreaming, finding deeper insight, enchantments, and spellbinding. It was believed to work on the emotional level, helpful for moving out of negative states, enhancing awareness of deeper purpose and protecting one from harmful outside influences.Willow More:This video shares my personal experience and insights, ID and harvesting tips, as well as practical ways to make Willow into Medicine. Willow is a "people plant" that grows all throughout the world in many forms. It is easy to work with, and its relative abundance makes it a relatively sustainable plant to harvest from the wildlands.Willow Safety:Although it’s generally safe, white willow bark extract taken in high doses can cause side effects including increased bleeding, skin rashes, itching, and upset stomach. Allergic responses are also possible among individuals who are sensitive to salicin.I hope you enjoy this video and get out to make your own personal connection with willow this year.Please give it a Thumbs UP and SHARE your thoughts and experience in the COMMENTS below.Botanical Blessings,~Yarrow~www.yarrowwillard.comwww.harmonicarts.ca Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TheHarmonicArts Instagram: http://instagram.com/herbal_jedi Facebook: http://facebook.com/harmonicarts Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/harmonicarts Twitter: http://twitter.com/harmonic_arts Filming and editing by Shane Philip: http://youtube.com/islandsoulfilms Website: http://islandsoulfilms Facebook: facebook.com/islandsoulfilms . youtube.com/watch?v=8eZMmZmrnnY&index=33&list=PLK38vasBbkM_KSrkueKgyZvC0MPsZQCyv
