Soul Journey Guidance

Today I brewed myself a cup of wellness — a quiet ritual in my kitchen, a reminder that healing can be soft, simple, and sacred.

There are seasons where healing roars…

and seasons where healing whispers.

Lately, my body has been asking for gentleness.

For nourishment instead of hustle.

For intention instead of urgency.

For warm cups and slow breaths.

So I made myself a feminine wellness tea — a blend steeped not only in hot water, but in intention, softness, and presence.

The Feminine Wellness Tea Blend

• 🌿 Nettle — deep nourishment, minerals, grounding strength

• 🌱 Chickweed — gentle detox support, lymphatic flow, soothing hydration

• 🍃 Sage — clarity, hormone balance, cooling + wisdom of the feminine

• 🌬️ Peppermint — calm digestion, clear breath, uplifting freshness

A cup for strength and softness, both held at once.

Why Steeping Time Matters

Herbal tea isn’t just a beverage — it’s an extraction of plant medicine.

Steeping allows:

• Minerals to release

• Aromatic oils to infuse

• Healing compounds to unlock

• Your nervous system to receive the ritual of waiting

Rushing tea is like rushing healing — both need time.

Cover your cup while steeping.

This keeps the precious oils and medicine from evaporating and invites you to slow down and breathe.

Steeping Guide

10–15 minutes (standard brew)

Perfect for a daily wellness cup that is calming, nourishing, and easy on the body.

Add herbs to hot water. Cover. Steep. Sip slowly.

Extended Infusion (2–4 hours)

For deeper nourishment, especially for mineral-rich herbs like nettle and chickweed.

Let sit, strain, then gently warm to drink if desired.

Herb Timing Breakdown

Herb	Best Steeping Time	Why
Nettle	15 min – 4 hours	Mineral releasing, nutrient-rich; longer steep = stronger nourishment
Chickweed	10 min – 4 hours	Moisturizing + lymphatic support; long steep draws out gentle healing compounds
Sage	5–10 min	Strong aromatic + hormonal herb; brief steep keeps it balanced
Peppermint	5–10 min	Aromatic cooling oils shine best in shorter steeps

Tip:

If doing a long infusion, add sage & peppermint only for the last 5–10 minutes so their medicine stays balanced and smooth.

A Ritual Reminder

As the tea steeped, I sat with my breath.

Steeping isn’t just for herbs — it’s for us.

It asks:

• Can I soften here?

• Can I pause and receive?

• Can I let nourishment take its time?

Healing isn’t always about doing — sometimes it’s about steeping in stillness.

To the Woman Reading This

You deserve ritual.

You deserve rest.

You deserve nourishment that reaches your roots.

This tea is a reminder:

• To pour into yourself

• To honor your body’s rhythms

• To hold yourself the way nature holds you — steady, gentle, wise

Your body is sacred.

Your rest is medicine.

Your softness has power.

Sip slowly.

Return to yourself.

Let your healing steep. 

With warmth, softness & soul,
