Hey babe, happy August! So…did you check the site? Because…we did a thing! We released the revolutionary "Sol Meditations" EP Vol 1 as a standalone offering- a total golden ticket item to add to your radical self-care journey! And yes, it’s the first in a series, so stay on the lookout for Vol 2 later this year!
So let’s talk about meditation, my incredible rebels and why it’s such an important key to your wellbeing mind, body and soul. You know how we're all multi-committed and have responsibilities at work, at home, in our personal lives, our communities and in our businesses, etc., but we also love and know we need balance to stay on our square AND we want/need that zen to actually work and not be a fluffy time-suck, am I right? That's why these short guided meditations are so on point!
Each meditation is layered with curated, highly effective sound healing tracks that are matched to the meditation topic to enhance efficacy making these gems super effective and the cherry is that each one comes in under 15 minutes. So whether you are looking to melt away stress, reduce physical tension, get a self-love boost, improve mental focus and function or just need a personal time out, we’ve got you covered. Studies show that incorporating just 5 minutes of meditation a day improves focus, self compassion, mood, immune function and quality of sleep. All of which help reduce inflammation throughout the body, which ultimately also helps regulate the nervous system and support whole self wellbeing.
If you know me, you already know I am super passionate about radical self-care and you’ve likely heard me use that term before. If we’re just meeting, you might be wondering…what’s the real deal with that? What is radical-self care anyway? Well babe, we are not talking about some basic face mask and a cup of herbal tea. No no, honey! We're diving deep into the art of caring for yourself like the divine being you truly are. And guess what? You totally deserve it! 👑 While we totally encourage and love things like spa days and such, we consider those to be self-maintaining activities - much like the icing on an already incredibly well made cake. Radical self-care is the cake - it’s the care of our very foundational wellbeing that includes physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, environment and relational wellness.
When we engage in radical self-care activities, like meditation or clocking time on your Sol Alchemy acupressure mat, that fill up the cups in those areas, then not only can we continue to show up in all of our multi-committed spaces as calmer, less stressed, more focused and present versions of ourselves - for ourselves and others.
And, if you have the Sol Alchemy Acupressure Mat aka the magic carpet ride LOL, then you already know how the acupressure points knead away those pesky knots and melt the tension like having a personal masseuse in only 15-20 minutes and without the hefty price tag! And just to get a little nerdy, together, they're like the ultimate dream team to help you restore your nervous system by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Translation: total relaxation mode ON - flight or flight OFF.
So grab your Sol Meditations EP and your Sol Alchemy mat, if you have it, slide into your comfy zone, hit play on those guided meditations - It's the ultimate recipe for a mind, body, and soul makeover and begin to wonder “Why didn't I do this sooner?!"
So, let's raise a glass my rebels, to more moments of radical self-care into our beautiful lives. Cheers!
