Are you feeling unhinged? If so and you are willing, go outside. Have a seat. Then, softly gaze with the natural world around you.

Have you looked up lately?

Gaining another perspective is always helpful. Especially, if your mind and/or emotions are spinning. As inspired, lay on the earth and look up.

Mind You + Food

These beautiful flowers have endured so many unintended acts of “death,” when in truth, their nature is to remind us of BLISS—the remembrance of LOVE. I hear Alanis Morissette singing in my head… Isn’t it ironic?

And yet, within the irony of our human tendency to grasp—whether for pleasure, escape, or meaning—there’s a collective lesson emerging. One about pain, bypassing, and the constant search for relief. While that’s a deeper conversation for another day, today I want to invite all of us to receive the beauty and emotional support these poppies offer.

Welcome them into your garden, your home, your workplace. Their vibrant colors—red, orange, golden yellow—don’t just brighten a space. When observed in nature, they have been shown to lower cortisol levels and promote relaxation.

Just by gazing at a poppy, your mood may lift. These blooms can help trigger the release of dopamine and serotonin, easing anxiety and symptoms of depression. When we pair this with the gift of presence—pausing in quiet, reflective repose—we enter into a natural state of healing.

As a bonus, standing with them under the sun, you receive a gentle boost of Vitamin D, another loving nudge from Mother Nature to tend to your mental and emotional well-being.

So, as inspired, spend time with the poppies. Let your gaze linger. Let your heart soften. Make peace with what we’ve misunderstood in the past, and offer gratitude for the quiet medicine these flowers continue to bring.

From deep within, two guiding lights pulse at the

From deep within, two guiding lights pulse at the center of our being: the rhythmic echo of the heart and the quiet whisper of intuition, often linked to the pineal gland’s “third eye.” When these two centers—heart and intuition—learn to dance together in harmony, we discover a state I call fluid living and knowing: an intuitive ease, a clarity of choice, and an unforced flow in life’s unfolding. What follows is a first pass at weaving the threads of science, spirit, and practice into one tapestry—one that illuminates how our heart and intuition can synchronize to support soul-aligned choices.

The Heart’s Wisdom

Long before the brain can analyze a situation, the heart has already responded. Scientists have discovered that the heart houses its own intricate neural network—tens of thousands of neurons—earning it the name “heart-brain.” In experiments, subtle shifts in heart rate variability (HRV) occur several seconds before a person consciously perceives an emotional stimulus. The heart appears to pick up on energetic information first (we receive transmission from each other near and far), then passes the baton to the cerebral cortex. In practical terms, this is why that sudden “heart feeling” often proves reliable: it is the heart’s early-alert system, tuned to nuance and feeling.

Beyond neural pathways, the heart generates the body’s strongest electromagnetic field. When we practice heart coherence—steady, rhythmic breathing paired with heartfelt emotions like gratitude or compassion—our HRV smooths into a harmonious wave, and the nervous system shifts from stress into a state of openness. In that vibration, we feel more centered, more present, and our decisions begin to flow from alignment rather than anxiety.

Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins) Another way to

Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins)

Another way to make an amends with Poppies. One of my favorite combos in the kitchen Lemon and Poppy seeds.

Yield: 1 loaf (8-10 slices) or 12 muffins Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 50-60 minutes (loaf) or 18-22 minutes (muffins)

Total Time: ~1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients (organic and/or clean when possible)

Dry Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tbsp poppy seeds
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
½ cup (120ml) sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: For a loaf: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal. For muffins: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers until fragrant (this releases lemon oils). Whisk in melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.

5. Bake: Loaf: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.

Muffins: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool: Loaf: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Muffins: Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to lov

A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to love her child unconditionally is beyond words. No doubt you’ve felt this from your own mother, grandmother, and/or another maternal presence in your life. Ideally, we all receive that limitless compassion from our mother—but that isn’t always our reality. And if your inner work originates from “mother issues,” it isn’t something to hold onto or feel jilted by. It’s simply part of your dance as much as it is hers.
This arises from the law of cause and effect—Karma—our eternal dance with the universe and each other. In Eastern teachings, the first practice for anyone is to become like a compassionate, protective, loving mother. A mother’s love for her child is innate, regardless of soul histories. Those histories reveal themselves in myriad ways for mother, father, and child. As a child, you may have wanted to scream, “It’s not fair!” Yet whenever aversion or longing toward another arises—especially toward our mother—the practice is first compassion for ourselves and for that relationship. Aversion and longing are two sides of the same coin: grasping. And grasping is the root of all suffering.
A mother’s capacity to hold unconditional love and compassion comes from the Divine and from her journey of creating and holding her child in sacred space—from conception, through gestation in the womb, into birth, and beyond. As I mentioned before, the conduit between heart and womb is the energetic pathway linking a mother to her children.
If you’d like to honor the life your mother gave you, take a few moments now. Close your eyes and imagine yourself back in the warm waters of her womb: feeling her heartbeat, her breath soothing you, her voice reassuring you as you transform and grow into your physical form. Sit in that miraculous space of metamorphosis and give silent gratitude for her strength, her love, and the suffering she endured to bring you into this world. #motherlove #divinecompassion #karmaandhealing
