It's Aortic Disease Awareness Month - Grounding Techniques

✨ It's #AorticDiseaseAwarenessMonth and what if you didn’t need a vacation from your own life? ✨

The biggest shift we can make is learning to live relaxed. When we create calm in our daily routines, we build a reality that nourishes us instead of drains us. 🌱

The good news? Relaxation is a practice—and it can be explored through the senses:

👃 Scent

• Try calming aromatherapy (lavender, jasmine, chamomile + more)

• Experiment with breathwork like alternate nostril breathing 🌬️

  
  

👀 Sight

• Clear clutter for a peaceful environment

• Surround yourself with nature (or even just a photo of it) 🌿

• Light a candle and let the glow shift your mood

  
  

👅 Taste

• Slow down while eating to truly savor your meals

• Keep a regular rhythm with meals for digestive ease

• Stay hydrated 💧 and lean into anti-inflammatory foods

  
  

✋ Touch

• Try self-massage (abhyanga) with nourishing oils

• Explore restorative yoga or Reiki to soften and restore 🧘

  
  

👂 Sound

• Practice affirmations in the mirror with intention: “I am enough”

• Soak in calm music, nature sounds—or embrace the power of silence

  
  

💫 Living relaxed is a daily choice. What’s one sense you’ll focus on today?
