Mountain S/pine

The elegance of suspension within stabilty.

Mountain S/pine suspends .
Connective tissues support our skeletons, aiding our functionality as humans.
This period of contemplation with Mountain S/Pine tree and extract has led me into deeper relationship with my own bones. Layered, dense, and porous… bones moving through space with ease and grace. Awareness of various tissues … tendons, ligaments, muscles , and fascia. They melt ,and we can begin to feel the distinctions between them all.
Revealing … allow the bones to be.
Have you ever envisioned moving, and feeling supported by nourishing space from only your bones? The practice is mundane…while walking , talking , washing , cooking , reaching , turning , etc.
See how it feels for you.

The awareness this conifer tree has re – introduced into my own system , simply through contemplation … has been medicinal on its own. It has brought back a special (to me) delicacy of being and moving. Within that delicacy I find a native sense of relaxation and peace. This does not equate to weakness or fragility though … things dont simply need to be as hard as we think they do. We have the potential to receive from these beings , in sometimes very unexpected ways that are not as linear.

Mountain Pine gemmotherapy extract , worked with internally can support all bone and joint pain , fractures, and degredation along with Silver Fir. It does well with resolving inflammation , and can decrease pain. Blackberry, Redwood, Lingonberry, and wild grapevine can also be added to Mountain Pine when Osteoporosis , Osteoarthritis or Osteopenia is in need of support. It tonifies the bones , and activates the osteoblasts which are the main cells for the formation and regeneration of bones.
