Life - An Inside Job

Inside balance with Lucy Blunden


Listen Later

The spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, is when there are equal amounts of daylight and nighttime, around 21st March in the Northern Hemisphere and 21st September in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the perfect moment to explore balance in our lives. I invited medical herbalist Lucy Blunden to explore what balance actually is and how we can move towards it in our lives. 

Lucy Blunden is a Medical Herbalist and EFT-Tapping practitioner in Hertfordshire UK. She has been in practice since 2008 working with people to support them in finding their desired health changes. She loves to work with digestive concerns as herbs have such great affinity to the gut. Lucy's specialist area is where the emotional and physical meet and she works with her astute understanding of folk in combination with herbal medicines and EFT-Tapping to find the perfect path for each patient. 

We also covered:

  • What herbs will bring balance at this time of year
  • How transitions can be challenging times
  • Finding rhythm after perimenopause
  • The paradox of Spring, how new life requires letting go
  • Foraged and cultivated foods to support you in spring
  • How to recover from a challenging year
  • Rituals for the equinox
  • Why Lucy doesn't use the word 'holistic' any more
  • How Lucy navigated 'too-muchness' and found the best place for EFT
  • Prompts to help you gain the benefit of the season
