Mary Pratt Wellness

Everyone knows how I feel about Finn.

He is the definition of BIG love.

BREW

Drinking caffeine post noon does not work for me, but some days the sound of an oat milk latte sounds perfect…

BREW is a herbal and mushroom blend for coffee lovers, but not caffeine…

What am I sipping today?

“Love is a living capacity within us that is always present.” - S. Salzberg

Sending a little extra 💗 your way.

You know your path - only you knows the depths of it all.

People will view you from their own experiences and judgements.

My wish is for you to step into this week knowing that you got yourself here. Here you are - can you acknowledge and feel your strength, your own abilities, your goodness?

It is all there.

It is so interesting to really look at our habits and stories.

I have had to ‘unlearn’ many things through the years in order to heal and grow.

Allowing ourselves some space to really look at our perspectives - do they still serve us? Can we see it differently? Is there another form of support needed?

Thank you for this.

This is always the message I receive from my body after spending time in a practice.

Breathing
Listening
Feeling
Nurturing
Befriending

Meeting myself in each practice and allowing authentic, embodied movement.

Here I Am

A simple mantra of connection.

A simple reminder that I am part of the abundance and beauty in the world.

Hi there -

Just sharing some Echinacea blooms from my yard.

Watching my yard come to life is one of my favorite things…each plant is so unique in its own beauty.

Hope you all find some simple joy in your day.

This is Nancy

Nancy’s Message: Kindness Matters

I drive by Nancy every morning on the the way to work.

Nancy has been standing on a corner every morning for 2 YEARS ✨

I stopped today to thank her for making an impact on my day.

Nancy shared so much of her beautiful story and feels that this reminder is essential in our world at this moment.

As I drove away I thought about what I give to the world daily and repetitively.

Slow, Stretch & Restore pop up class tomorrow night - 7pm.

We will welcome and connect to ourselves through both movement and stillness.

Class is in person and online.

There is so much noise - we can stay in it or we can pause.

In the pause we feel our own noise - the beauty is that we can learn to quiet it.

At times, this is hard.

I sit and breathe.

Just feel my breath.

Listen to the birds

Listen to the morning

Feel my heart beat.

Here I am

Even if it’s just a moment.

‘Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings.’
- RUMI

I have found restorative yoga to be a beautiful space of sensing the held tension and relaxation.

Sometimes, unknowingly, I arrive with fists and clenching.

Inviting in support and allowing space to slowly breath has helped me softly land - my fists loosen - my body softens.

Join me this evening for a restorative practice - 7 pm - online.

Be conscious of every breath that you inhale and exhale.

Feel the way your chest rises and falls, the way the current moves through your body.

Imagine yourself as rising mountains, the glowing sun, the running river.

There is a world within you, earth in your heart, air in your lungs, fire in your soul.

Picture every breath working to make you whole.
- C. Peppernell

Join me for restorative yoga tonight @ 7pm

A reminder to myself…

‘Remember to look at yourself from your heart - a space of compassion. When you find understanding through this kind space, it broadens your hearts capacity. As you continue to work with yourself in this way you will see others with this same lens.’

The more I have held myself in a more loving way, the more I am able to do so with others.

The more abrasive I am with myself - you will know - you’ll feel it.

How do you invite in understanding towards yourself?

I woke up this morning to a note from someone regarding hot flashes and the correlation to alcohol.

Waking up in the middle of the night after drinking is unpleasant, but add hot flashes or night sweats? Ugh an No thanks.

For the majority of us who partake here and there, we may feel the heat once the shift of perimenopause begins.

What’s a girl to do?

We need to make some shifts or we can continue with the cycle.

If we have less or eliminate alcohol we will most likely feel a difference. There are also other ways to support ourselves through this shift in life.

I have taken a heart centered approach to this phase in life. I have invited in heightened compassion and awareness. Do I have frustrations and discomforts? Sure, sometimes. I always ask - what type of support is needed in this moment - with an understanding that it is always shifting.

What has been a positive shift you have felt through this phase?

“Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into an instant flame by an encounter with another human being.”
- A. Schweitzer

It’s there, your light.

Surround yourself with those that remind you and help you not only see it, but own it.

Meet me on the mat tonight @ 6pm.

Offerings from the the heart are free from conditions and expectations.

I see this in myself at times - when I find myself in expectation - the ifs and buts of what the mind offers.

I feel incredible freedom when I simple offer from my heart - there is a purity and truth to it.

What do you think? Can you see this in yourself?

It’s interesting to look at our relationship with our version of condition and expectation.

and I said to my body softly, “I want to be your friend.”

- N. Waheed

Breathing, moving, listening, nourishing, supporting….

Meet me on the mat tonight @ 6pm

I am back from my ‘California Dreaming’ vacation. I have actually been home for almost a week, but have been easing my way into life. Does that happen to you after vacation?

A week of sunshine, sunrise, sunset, walks along the coast, connecting, laughing, eating, playing…

I feel renewed to teach (meet me tonight), to connect, to create and share.

I love to step away and pause, these moments are essential for my growth.

This photo was from the walk Rich and I took each morning.

Lumi Tea

The inspiration behind the name is light - the light within all of us.

As we live in a space that includes consistent habits towards wellness, we begin to gain glimpses and connection our light - this also enhances our ability to see the light in others.

The ritual of Tea and herbs have been used for hundreds of years because of the benefits - they nourish through vitamins, minerals, calming qualities, support our stress response, enhance our senses, build mindfulness, enhance connection and so much more.

Each Lumi blend is created with organic herbs, packed with flavor and has a different supportive intention.

I believe a cup of tea brings connection to self, to wellness and to others - it is nourishment for our soul.

I invite you to follow me and I will share my blends along with the overall goodness of herbs.

My tea continues to be located on my website www.maryprattwellness.com/lumi-herbal-tea for purchase.
