Sidewalk Chemistry's Holistic Guide to Foot Care!

Keeping great care of our feet is not just a superficial and aesthetic practice. Our feet are, of course, what literally hold up our bodies, connect us to the ground, and help most of us to have mobility. However, the feet are an afterthought to most. This guide shares an exhaustive list of methods for caring for your feet that will help you to establish a relationship of utmost respect for your feet, which will in turn support your life path and purpose.

Read it in full on the Sidewalk Chemistry Patreon, where detailed formulas, codes, and challenges for holistic leveling up are shared. Everything is written by me (I'm a classically and traditionally trained herbalist & holistic health practitioner). Becoming a patron funds upcoming Sidewalk Chemistry projects and allows me to continue sliding-scale consultations 🌼☺️

The Healing Power of Vibrational Therapies

Emerging research confirms what ancient traditions have long understood – that frequencies profoundly impact matter, mind, and spirit. Just as releasing the grip loosens a Chinese finger trap, relaxing into resonant vibrations can free us from disharmony’s hold and restore wholeness on every level of being. Rediscovering Frequency Medicine Indigenous cultures have used sound and vibration for…

holistic wellness series: cycle synching

🌱 what is cycle synching?

in short, cycle synching is coordinating your lifestyle habits with the phases of your menstrual cycle.

🌱 benefits of cycle synching

cycle synching can help you optimize energy levels and improve your understanding of your cycle, which, in turn, can boost estrogen levels and even boost fertility. it can also improve your hormone balance overall, which helps ease stress and period symptoms.

the menstrual phase (days ~1-5)

exercise: since the energy is low during this phase, focus on low-impact movement. this can include yoga, walking, and stretching.

food: focus on comforting and easily digested food. soups, decaf tea, veggies (lots of greens!), etc.

the follicular phase (days ~6-14)

exercise: in this phase, energy begins to rise again. great exercise options can include moderate weight lifting or cardio, jogging, swimming, and pilates.

food: light veggies and fruit and lean protein, such as eggs, salmon, poultry (like turkey), and cheese.

the ovulatory phase (days ~15-20)

exercise: energy is the highest in this phase, so high-intensity and sweaty workouts, such as hiit or vigorous weight training are optimal here.

food: lots of fiber and water to support digestion and healthy fats such as fish, nuts, and avocado.

the luteal phase (days ~20-28)

exercise: energy begins to decrease before the cycle repeats. focus on moderate exercise such as bodyweight strength training, pilates, more intense yoga, and cardio.

food: healthy fats and lots of fiber! veggies such as sweet potato and squash, seeds, salmon, and dark chocolate are good options for this time.

🥑 Healing With Avocado 🤔

The higher you vibrate, the purer your aenergetic field becomes, ironically the harder it becomes for your body to tolerate common ‘normal’ modern-day products that are laden with toxic chemicals~🫐

In many ways, you could say it’s because now you know you deserve better. You want purer things for your body. You want the real things—not fake things that look like food. You want high-quality. You want true beauty~🍒

Did you know that modern Japanese workers are some of the least nourished people in East Asia because they eat so much instant and frozen shit? TIME IS MONEY, BABY!! What’s in efficiency when it only leads to nutrition-deficiency? Ironic? Or moronic?🍋

It’s time we all learnt to go back to nature🥬

The true Revolution of Humanity is Environmentalism🍊

But you’ve gotta be smart about real knowledge! Otherwise the evil powers are just gonna trick you with jargons, semantics and optics!🍄

Just because the healing isn't happening as fast as you think it should doesn't mean it isn't still happening. Keep going.

100 Days of Holistic Self Care Challenge

Challenge and self care, both these things sound a bit counterproductive together but I think this combination can bring immense growth to my life. I don't think I'd get certain things done unless I challenge myself to. I'm nudging myself to be more mindful and present and calmer. It's about my whole life, my body, my fears, my bravery, everything. I got inspired by @thelastneuron, @mindfulstudyquest and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment.

I'm going through a very stressful time right now and my mental health is in pieces. So here we go.

So here is a list of things that I am going to do in this challenge, it's gonna be

an everyday thing,

one time thing,

a thought I need to revisit, or

something else that I need.

You are veryyyy welcome to join anytime you want. It's alright if you don't wanna join too. This challenge is about comfort but also doing the best for oneself.

I'll be updating the list and adding and taking out certain things. You guys can recommend me things too.

Everyday things:

Waking up before 8 am.

Taking a bath within an hour of waking up.

Eating food/breakfast only after taking a bath.

Prayers/mantra before at every action.

1 hour without stimulation from any gadgets.

Go for a 30 minutes walk everyday.

Skincare before going to sleep.

No stimulation/media 30 minutes before going to sleep.

If I start a task, I'm going to finish it no matter what.

Read 20 pages of a book.

Meditate (guided or otherwise) for 10 minutes.

Do not touch the phone/social media apps/Netflix while studying.

One time things:

Social Media DETOX for a week. (no instagram, no tumblr, no whatsapp, no youtube, no spotify)

No stimulation for a whole day. (no spotify, no social media, no tv)

Thoughts to revisit (journal-ish):

How am I feeling? Am I feeling tired? Why am I feeling tired? Are you okay, Tanishka? Are you fine? What made you sad? What made you tick? How do you feel about feeling this way?

Were you brave today? Did you do something that was out of your comfort zone? Did you conquer your fears? How did you feel when you did conquer your fears?

Are you feeling worthy today? Are you feeling like you deserve your dreams? Why do you feel that you don't? Why do you feel that you do? Prove to yourself that you do.

Did you make any mistakes towards yourself or towards others today? If you did its okay, it's fine. Think about it but this thought, or this action doesn't define you. You are maleable, you are the one who can fold themselves into whoever you wanna be.

Did you take care of yourself, Tanishka?

I'll be starting this today. Good luck to anyone else who wants to join. You can start your own challenge or join in on mine. Have a beautiful day.
