One way of waking involves aligning ourselves to the cycles and seasons of nature. Our bodies are nature. They’re made of the same elements as the cosmos. Healing arts are holistic healing traditions that build us strong in body and spirit in harmony with nature’s wisdom.
The healing arts are also forms of essential self-care. In a modern world that pushes unbound expansion, progress, and mechanization (and which capitalizes on the illness that arises as a result), aligning our rhythms with nature is a radical act. Taking responsibility for our own vitality means we are not only healthier and more whole, but more free.
This section includes resources on physical body cultivation and sensuality, breathwork and plant medicine, cyclical eating and living, and the embodied joy of creativity and craft.

Look into ancient cultivation traditions like yoga or qigong. Try meditation and breathing practices. Experiment with food and herbs as medicine. Get up with the sun. Walk barefoot on the earth.
