Custom Self- Care Packages by Blue Sky Botanicals & Inner Awareness

Locally curated with delivery available

October 11, 2020

Sarah Gibbs, herbal educator at Blue Sky Botanicals, and Jennifer Speiden, yoga therapist at Inner Awareness have joined their areas of passion and talent to offer a unique way to incorporate self-care into our lives.  They wish to offer people a way to support themselves during these stressful times we are all experiencing. Far too often, during stressful times, one tends to put themselves at the bottom of the “to do” list. However, simple practices (such as guided meditations and herbal teas) can change how we move through our days, build resilience, and create a little more space to support our individual and collective needs.   Our “Self-Care Share” is a monthly offering of goodies that will include and herbal portion and a mindfulness portion.  This monthly share can be picked-up at Sarah’s home in Blacksburg, or for a $10 fee you can have 3-months of home delivery if you live in Blacksburg, Christiansburg or Radford.

The herbal portion may include a custom tea blend, a syrup or tincture, a food, drink or culinary blend, and another herbal surprise blend, spray or bath delight.  Sarah will offer everyone that signs up a "conversation" with her about how herbs can be used in your specific situation to support your overall health goals. In the spring, she will offer you an herb walk in her yard in Blacksburg to talk about growing and using our plant friends.

The monthly mindfulness practices provided by Jennifer will include 2 recordings (mp3 and/or video).  One offering will have more movement and the other will be more stillness based.  Each will be 5 – 15 minutes in duration for a total of 20 minutes of recorded material that can be streamed and / or downloaded.  These brief but potent practices can be easily integrated into your busy day for much-needed refuge and TLC to help settle and soothe our bodies, hearts, and minds.
