Mental Health Tools

After sharing a bit about my journey with mental health here, I wanted to share some of my favorite tools and resources in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. If you found your way here, I hope you find somethings that serve you. We can look to our charts to see what tools may serve us best with things like: Moon placements, Earth Gates (how you ground), Determination, Environment, Cognition, Houses of Health placements, where we need emptying out, etc… For instance someone with a Mountains environment may need to get away to gain some perspective or particularly benefit from breathwork (4 lines as well) or someone with a Sound determination may be super supported by sound baths, binaural beats + frequencies. Someone with a fire sign Moon may need to process healthy aggression. Folks with Smell cognition may be helped by essential oils. Two lines, Kundalini. That being said we can always look to what we most need in each moment. Here are some of the practices I have found most useful for myself + clients.
