News from Mama Love

Happy New Year!

I hope the new year brings you all love and joy and more of whatever you want. As this year wound up I found myself thinking about topics I don't address that often. This was a challenging month for me—my mother (the actual Mama my business is named for) is in the process of dying, my day job felt stressful, world news was extremely distressing, and I had a health scare that shook me up. I've been getting help with that and things are better, but it made me look at the importance of several things differently in my life. As always, I can't keep myself from sharing what I've been exploring with you and hope you find something in value in what I've been writing about.

Musing on Flower Essences for Addressing Fear Versus Cultivating Resolve

About the importance of the true calm that comes from inner strength.

Sometimes You Have to Cry

Sometimes you have to cry. Sometimes you have to shiver and shake. Sometimes you have to stomp around and shout. I'm usually sharing flower essences for relief of emotional distress on this blog, but today I want to talk about something else. Flower essences are not about not having feelings! I admit that it often enough seems that way when an essence suddenly pops you out of a bad mood and helps you feel good again. But that is almost aways . . .

Cultivating Happiness

"Happiness runs in a circular motion" is a line from an old Donovan song that comes to mind as I write this, particularly because I remember an old Tai Chi teacher of mine saying pretty much the same thing. Tai Chi movements are usually circular and are never forced. The idea, as my teacher described it, is to relax and allow, to move with the natural flow of energy, and grow in strength and flexibility naturally. She would say "happiness," too.

New Year Resolutions to Help You Enjoy Your Life

It's quite natural as one year comes to an end and another is about to begin to think about the past year and what you would like to be different. And, while there are many things we can't control in our lives, there may be specific actions or attitudes to adopt that could make a positive difference in your life.

Holy Basil (Tulsi Blend)

I haven't been able to get Tulsi Rama (Holy Basil) for awhile so I decided to restock with a Holy Basil blend (Rama, Krishna, and Vana Tulsi). It smells wonderful (better than Tulsi Rama alone) and tastes good, too. Holy Basil is an adaptogen, which means it can be helpful for managing stress, providing balanced energy when you need it or being calming and relaxing when you need that. I like it mixed with Mint but it also blends well with warming spices like Cinnamon.
