10 Ways to Improve Your Microbiomes in 2023✨

Yes, I meant to say microbiomes with an S✨

💚Microbiome Health (ie. Gut Health, Skin Health, Oral Health, Mental Health, Emotional Health, Nervous System Regulation, etc) is a major facet of Holistic Health because human beings intrinsically live intertwined with microbes. They are our symbiotic buddies, which means that our lifestyles are interdependent. If you're not thriving, neither are they. Self-care is not at all selfish, because it's always influencing at least millions of these tiny creatures💚

1✨ Eat a diversity of whole plant foods (extra points if you get a lot of fresh ones in your belly).

2✨ Establish high standards for rest for your lifestyle. Live more slowly. Stop the worrying (it's not necessary nor is it useful!). Meditate deeply. And focus on getting rejuvenated from your sleep. I recommend herbal adaptogens & relaxing nervines to learn more how relaxation feels on a physiological level.

3✨ Leave off or reduce products with synthetic ingredients in your life where you can. They tend to have a pH which is unsupportive to certain microbes or not "play nice" with certain populations.

4✨ Get probiotics in your diet. Condiments like ketchup, mustard, and soy sauce were always probiotic before these extremely shelf-stable versions. You can DIY those. Or kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, natto, yogurts, kombucha, drinking vinegars/shrubs, fermented bean pastes, poi, ginger bugs, coconut water kefir, and so many more. Every culture has their own. Probiotic foods are a great way to get more connected to your ancestral lines & explore other cultures.

5✨ Incorporate more herbs into your life. Many are digestion-supportive, gut-building, prebiotic, cell-regenerative, tissue-moistening, wound-healing, etc.

For the rest of the tips & elaboration on the tips, see the Patreon post scheduled to post @ 8pm EST today Jan 2nd 2023 for the Healing Babes Tier+!

May all beings be blissful 💚

Hey crazy thought but maybe Kairi wouldn’t seem like such a ‘wasted character’ if this fandom would quit taking everything of narrative and thematic significance about her and assigning it to Riku constantly all the time.

(The evaluation of the ways in which Kairi and Riku are important and vital foils for each other got kind of long so it’s under a read more; to be clear, I love Riku so much, and it makes me super mad to see his narrative also being undermined by this trend, this is not a hate post.)

Kairi and Riku serve opposing but complementary purposes in the narrative. Kairi represents light, but she also represents the stagnation of the light. Many characters who are associated with just light are also associated with stagnation and a resistance to change. Hoder and Eraqus are particularly extreme examples, but Aqua exemplifies this as well. They want a predictable world where things stay as they ‘should’ be and they are threatened by changes to the status quo. Eraqus in particular refuses to change anything about himself for 60 years, only taking on students at the last minute because he’s running out of time. Kairi, like Eraqus and Hoder and Aqua, stands as the bold, sharp light that casts others into shadow.

However, the other side of “resistance to change” means that Kairi represents restoration. She is able to restore Sora in KH1, pull them home in KH2, and hold Sora back from death itself in KH3, because her power is one of restoration. She holds so tightly to their old way of being that she can stop death itself in the interest of not changing too drastically. But she is unable to move forward on her own, because she fears change too much. She wants to chase after the boys when they keep leaving her behind…but she isn’t able to keep up, because what she actually wants is for them not to run at all. 

She wants to go home, and restore their previous status quo. This desire is consistent in her for the entire series; this is also why she is unable to let go of her childhood crush for Sora, even though he’s obviously not the person she wants him to be anymore. For Sora, Kairi is the rock, she is the home that will always be there, he feels that she is the secure dock he can always return to after the storm. He relies on her not changing, which reinforces her fear of change. Lea is similar, and they can bond in KH3 over both their mutual desires to restore a prior, idealized status quo where their friends were reliably there and not at risk of disappearing on them or running away from them or changing.

Riku on the other hand embodies transformation. He represents change to the status quo, growth and development and a new way to be. Too much change is as much of a problem as too little; Kairi in KH1 sees Riku wants change, and it scares her, and he does in fact go too far. At the same time, she’s the catalyst for Riku’s desire to change their circumstances. Kairi’s arrival at the islands in the meteor shower incites Riku to dream of going to the outside world. This too is a tension that creates an anxiety in Kairi - in a way, she can see herself as to blame for Riku’s desire to change. But Riku was always going to change, because that’s who he is. He is radical change, the change that cuts away restrictive dogma so that the world can advance. Riku drives Sora to also want to grow and change, to excel and challenge himself. Sora wants to be like Riku, whose strength and internal drive he admires.

Ultimately Kairi and Riku are in BALANCE with each other. Ironically, while Kairi is themed as ‘the sea,’ her narrative purpose is to be steady as the earth. Riku’s name is ‘the earth,’ but he is changing and dangerous as the sea. They are one another’s reflections in the narrative. Kairi’s arc is about learning to let go and move forward, even though it scares her. Riku’s entire arc is about finding balance, not throwing away the comfort of the past, that inoculates him from falling too far the way Baldr and Xehanort do. Riku can drive Kairi to join them by giving her a Keyblade too. Kairi can pull Riku back from fleeing from them by seeing him even under Ansem’s face. He is able to be in contrast with Kairi in a healthy way, in a way that honors her fears while also refusing stagnation. They have to work TOGETHER to find Sora, because they are one another’s narrative and thematic opposites. Kairi is too stagnant on her own, and Riku too volatile. Sora is the healthy middle between them, the center-point that can bind the light and the dark TOGETHER for one purpose. 

Kairi is narratively and thematically important to Kingdom Hearts. She represents something, and trying to take the things that reinforce her narrative importance to the story (her representation of the light, her narrative purpose of ‘disruption’ in her arrival via the meteor shower, her position as the one who grounds Sora in opposition to Riku’s position as the one who drives Sora to push himself and achieve more) not only undermines her story, it undermines Riku’s.

Unlock the Secrets to Health and Beauty: Natural Remedies, Wellness Tips, Skincare Routines, Anti-Aging Solutions, and Cellulite Creams Revealed

Welcome to the ultimate guide to health and beauty! In this guide, we will cover everything you need to know about natural remedies, wellness tips, skincare routines, anti-aging solutions, and more.

Let's start with natural remedies. One of the most popular natural remedies for sore muscles and joint pain is horse balm. Horse balm is a natural topical cream that contains menthol, camphor, and other natural ingredients that provide a cooling and soothing effect. It can be found at many stores, including Etos.

Another natural remedy that has gained popularity in recent years is CBD oil. CBD oil is a natural extract from the cannabis plant that has been found to have many health benefits, including reducing anxiety, relieving pain, and improving sleep. It can be ingested or applied topically, and is available at many health food stores.

Now let's move on to wellness tips. One of the most important things you can do for your overall health is to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help improve your skin, boost your metabolism, and even improve your mood.

Exercise is another important aspect of wellness. Regular exercise can help improve your cardiovascular health, strengthen your muscles, and even reduce stress and anxiety. Find an exercise routine that you enjoy, whether it's yoga, running, or weightlifting, and stick to it.

Skincare is also a crucial component of health and beauty. One of the most important things you can do for your skin is to protect it from the sun. Wear sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Additionally, make sure to cleanse and moisturize your skin regularly to keep it looking healthy and radiant.

Now let's talk about anti-aging solutions. One of the most effective anti-aging ingredients is retinol. Retinol is a form of vitamin A that has been found to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and even out skin tone. Look for skincare products that contain retinol, or talk to your dermatologist about prescription-strength retinoids.

Another popular anti-aging treatment is Botox. Botox is a cosmetic injection that temporarily relaxes the muscles in the face, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's important to do your research and find a reputable provider if you are considering Botox.

Finally, let's talk about cellulite. Cellulite is a common concern for many people, especially women. While there is no cure for cellulite, there are many creams and gels on the market that can help reduce its appearance.

One popular cellulite gel is the cream against cellulite by Elancyl. This cream contains caffeine and other natural ingredients that help improve circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Another popular cellulite cream is the anti-cellulite cream by Nivea. This cream contains coenzyme Q10 and other natural ingredients that help firm and tone the skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

When looking for a good cellulite cream, make sure to read reviews and do your research. While there is no miracle cure for cellulite, regular use of a good cellulite cream can help improve the appearance of your skin.

In conclusion, this ultimate guide to health and beauty has covered everything from natural remedies to anti-aging solutions to cellulite creams. Remember to stay hydrated, exercise regularly, and protect your skin from the sun to maintain your health and beauty. And when it comes to cellulite, do your research and find a good cream or gel that works for you. With these tips and tricks, you'll be on your way to looking and feeling your best.

Allow the modern everyday sounds (the engines of cars and trucks and buses, church bells, cell phone notification tones & vibrations, drones of radios, overhead train announcements, television chatter, vacuums, lawnmowers, car honks, even the shouts of impatient rush hour drivers) become a part of your daily sound healing experience.

Technology can easily bring down our vibe, or pull us into mindlessness, but it's much better to keep a mindset of bliss💗

Healthy lifestyle tips for you...

A healthy lifestyle is one that prioritizes activities, attitudes, and routines that advance one's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. It is a way of living that takes a holistic approach that considers all facets of life, including social interactions, diet, exercise, and sleep. A healthy lifestyle can have a wide range of advantages and is crucial for preserving long-term health and vigor.

Balanced Diet: is a fundamental component of a healthy lifestyle. Consuming a range of nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, is necessary to achieve this. For the prevention of chronic diseases and to maintain a healthy weight, it is essential to limit the intake of processed meals, sugary drinks, and foods high in sodium.

Regular Exercise: For you to stay physically and mentally well, you must exercise. Regular exercise helps to increase flexibility, muscle mass, mood, and cardiovascular health. As advised by health professionals, strive for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.

Adequate Sleep: The body renews and restores itself as you sleep. The recommended amount of sleep per night is between seven and nine hours. Numerous health issues, such as reduced cognitive function, weight gain, and a higher chance of developing chronic diseases, can be brought on by lack of sleep.

Stress Management: On both physical and mental health, chronic stress can be harmful. Effective stress management can be achieved by practicing stress-reduction practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature.

Hydration: The importance of staying well hydrated cannot be overstated for maintaining excellent health. Drinking enough water maintains good skin, improves digestion, and aids in body temperature regulation. In conclusion, leading a healthy lifestyle entails making deliberate decisions to give priority to one's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is a lifetime commitment that calls for self-control and work but has many advantages, such as better health, more energy, and a higher quality of life. People can live a more active and happier life by implementing these healthy practices into their everyday routine.
