Wildflower Holistic Healing by Ashley Burnam

Simple stretching/yoga can do wonders for the body.

I had the honor of creating sound for an outdoor memorial service. Soul moving and am inspired to keep it simple and sacred for future planning of honoring loved one’s lives.

Harvested this abundant comfrey before freezing temps took her out. The leaves are still dehydrating, but will soon infuse in oil to add to my plantain and calendula infused oil. This will be used as a healing salve and body butter which helps with with eczema, dermatitis, inflammation, bruises, burns, arthritis, gout, and more. Will have some for sale if there’s interest. For those wanting to know more.... Comfrey’s healing properties also encompass the skin, with its wonde...r ingredient allantoin hydrating, naturally exfoliating, repairing, protecting and soothing the skin. Due to Comfrey’s high antioxidant status, topical application also helps to reduce free radical activity on the skin. Natural allantoin as found in Comfrey can actually help to reduce abnormal thickening of the skin caused by keratinisation - if this is out of balance more keratin than usual is produced and the structure of the barrier function is changed. Allantoin interacts with the skin’s keratin to thin out an abnormal, thick stratum corneum, and this is the reason that allantoin is known for leaving skin feeling smooth. Comfrey can also be used to relieve skin irritations such as rashes, sunburn and stings. Comfrey has been cultivated as a healing herb since at least 400 BCE. The Greeks and Romans commonly used Comfrey to stop heavy bleeding, treat bronchial problems and heal wounds and broken bones. Poultices were made for external wounds and tea was consumed for internal ailments. It is said that the Roman legions also used this herb to heal wounds suffered in battle.

Lovely 2 hour sound meditation with a small group (covid style) offering some new experiences. I have a new appreciation for artists who dance and sing live as I was catching my breath singing and moving around offering individual work for each of my participants. Also watched a beautiful wedding via zoom right after this. The bride was a teacher here and co-hosted an event with me so blew her kisses from the studio we have both spent special time in.

Lovely evening of sound and meditation. If you missed it and would like to join me for an extended meditation of sound, gentle movement, breath work, and more, I’ll be hosting a limited number at Yoga Sol Saturday the 24th 3:30-5:30.
