Happy Day Two of Mental Health Awareness Month! Today’s Topic: Cold Plunging 🧊 After starting a more spiritual and holistic journey, I kept hearing about cold plunging. I was intrigued… but it sounded miserable 😂 A few years ago, I tried getting into the cold pool at Spa Castle (about 65°). I made it to my knees and said “nope… not for me.” A little over two years ago, I came across a reel from Andrew Huberman and decided to try again. So I booked a session at Sweathouz and committed to 3 minutes. The water was 38°… and brutal. But I stayed. I focused on my breath and pushed through. When I got out… the rush was unreal. Mentally, I felt AMAZING. There’s something powerful about choosing discomfort and proving to yourself you can handle it. It grounds you, clears your mind, and almost feels like hitting a reset on your nervous system. I did them consistently for about two years… then I stopped taking my meds. Ironically, when I probably needed it most, I couldn’t get myself to go. I’d book sessions but couldn’t get out of bed. Eventually I had to cancel my membership… and I missed it. Today, I did my first plunge in over two months. 3 minutes. 38°. And it was just as amazing as I remembered. I’m working on getting back into a routine because I can truly feel the difference. If you’ve been thinking about trying one… this is your sign 🤍 First two pics from today, third video from my cold plunge at retreat where I broke the record, saying in over 15 minutes. Something about being surrounded my a supporting group really makes it. 🫶🏻 #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth #coldplunge #healingjourney

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Ironically, this photo popped up in my memories from 2020. I’ve been wanting to tell my story for a REALLY long time… but it’s hard, and I’m scared. Every time I start to feel ready, I shrink in fear. I follow so many women on social media who inspire me—women fighting the patriarchy, standing up for what they believe in, choosing different paths—and the unsolicited, unwarranted, and sometimes repulsive comments they receive honestly blow my mind. I know I’m going to have to grow thick skin to do this… So I’ll start with where I am now: Day 111 off my meds. And let me tell you—it’s a roller coaster. I started antidepressants when I was 15. Along the way, one stops working, so they add another… and another. Then anxiety shows up—add Xanax. You can’t sleep—add Trazodone. Nightmares—add Prazosin. Restless legs—add gabapentin. You lose focus—add Vyvanse. You crash in the afternoon—add Adderall boosters. Your heart races when you present—add Propranolol. And that’s just to name a few. I can’t count how many times I’ve tried to stop taking them. I’ve never made it past about three weeks… until now. 111 days. I’m not saying I’ll never take them again. And I am absolutely NOT saying there is anything wrong with medication. Please always do what is right for you and your body—you know yourself best. This is simply the path I’ve chosen for myself right now: to explore a more holistic way of living. By beginning to share my story, I hope not only to help others—but to find support, too. Because this isn’t easy… and we don’t have to do it alone. Follow along—and please, be kind. 🤍 #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth #healingjourney #holistichealth

Yesterday I was doing breathwork at home and had a very real energetic release. IYKYK Normally I practice on a week day during the day when neighbors are out, but being iced in, my nervous system needed the release right then. My neighbor, out of genuine care, heard yelling and reached out to management to reach out to me to make sure I was okay. While it was a little embarrassing 😅, I was honestly touched by the concern. I baked her some gluten-free snickerdoodles and left a note to say thank you for being a caring neighbor. Breathwork is a powerful tool for moving stored emotion and energy — just maybe give your neighbors a heads up… or cookies 😂🍪 Check out @kindofcosmicpodcast first episode on Spotify to hear about why I love breathwork so much!

ASPARAGUS KITCHADI SERVES 3-4 Recipe by @simpleveda_ayurveda INGREDIENTS: 1 cup basmati rice ½ cup split yellow mung beans 5 to 8 cups pure water ½ b fresh asparagus (or zucchini, okra, carrot) 3 Tosp clarified butter or ghee 1 tsp yellow (or brown) mustard seeds ½ tsp cumin powder 1 to 2 cloves freshly minced garlic (optional) pinch asafoetida powder (hing) ½ tsp turmeric powder / cup chopped cilantro (optional) Garnish with optional grated coconut, sea salt, fresh lemon for asparagus, or lime DIRECTIONS: Clean the rice and dal separately. It is easier that way to see and remove any debris or stones. Rinse two or three times in cool water, until the water runs clear. Add water to a medium sized, heavier bottom soup pan and bring to a boil. Allow rice and dal to simmer about 35 to 40 minutes while you prepare the spices and any desired vegetable in small diced pieces. When your rice-mung mix has cooked for about 30 minutes or more, heat a heavy skillet over a medium flame and add the ghee. Add mustard seeds to the hot pan, then cumin shortly thereafter with minced garlic. Within a few seconds mustard seeds will start to pop. When garlic is beginning to turn golden, add the asafoetida (or cumin, if using powder). Add asparagus or other vegetable and sauté briefly to sear and protect color. Add turmeric powder to warm with any other easier burning spices like nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, leafy herbs, cardamom and cayenne, just before you pour the oil, spices and vegetables directly into the boiling rice and dahl mixture. Cook until vegetables are tender. Reserve a teaspoon or so of cilantro per serving; add the rest to your pot just before removing heat source and cover. Serve with favored optional condiments, such as sea salt, cilantro, coconut, and a squeeze of lime. #ayurveda #kitchari #kitcharicleanse #simplevedarecipes

BREAKFAST KITCHADI | SERVES 4-8 Recipe by @simpleveda_ayurveda INGREDIENTS: 3 cups water 2/3 cup yellow split mung, soaked for 20 min + rinsed until water is clear 1 cinnamon stick Large pinch salt 1/2 cup basmati rice 1/2 cup grated carrots ½ tsp of turmeric 1 tsp of cinnamon powder ½ tsp of ginger powder 12 tsp cardamom powder 4 dates, pitted and chopped 2 tablespoons cashew pieces 1 tablespoon shredded coconut 2 teaspoons ghee 2 to 4 teaspoons honey (maple syrup is ok) Cinnamon and Coconut, for garnish Heat water in a medium sauce pan + bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low-medium setting. Stir in the mung dal, cinnamon stick, and a large pinch of salt Cover the pan, cook for 15 minutes, stirring half way through. While cooking, begin to grate the carrot. Add the basmati rice and the grated carrots. Stir well and replace the cover cook for an additional 12 minutes and stirring every 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add in the spices, chopped dates, cashew pieces, coconut, and ghee. Turn the heat off but leave the pan on the hot burner. Cover the pan completely and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes. Once the kitchari has cooled slightly, add in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey per bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon and coconut. This was so yummy y’all!! I’ve officially finished my pre cleanse and entered into my cleanse. This was my first time ever making kitchari and I was very pleased with how it came out! 😋 #simplevedarecipes #ayurveda #kitchari #kitcharicleanse

✨ My heart is still glowing from the magic we created together ✨ While I guide three sound baths a week at @breathemeditationandwellness , this was my first full event hosted here—and it overflowed with love. Not only did we sell out, but we even squeezed in an extra mat for one more beautiful soul. The energy in the room was magic, and my heart is so full. We welcomed everyone with bright 🌻 sunflowers at the front—symbols of warmth, optimism, and joy to set the tone. Inside, my best friend @soulsoakvibrations and I created a sacred altar space filled with intention: 🌹 Yellow roses tipped with red to honor transformation and rooted strength 🌞 A sun-shaped mandala made of daisies and yellow blooms to represent clarity, vitality, and divine light 🐸 And of course, Frog Spirit, my faithful companion who joins every sound bath, bringing his medicine, reminding me to clear out the clutter and take a leap forward Thank you to each and every one of you who came, softened, and surrendered to the sound. This gathering was pure magic—and just the beginning 💛 🦋 KC Lou
