Upstate New York April 2024 Get yo butts outside and see the beauty of spring!

Do you know about the healing power of music? All organisms have means of expression, to induce the flow of energy. Vocalization has been shown to alleviate stressors and angst (aka stagnant and congested flow) that otherwise are incredibly difficult to move. I'm not much of a singer by any means. But you don't need to be a trained professional to utilize this beautiful part of you. Sing, sing ...

Here, I demonstrate my method of using a French press to press the herbal tincture. You could use that extracted liquid as is, or you could further process it as you wish. I also demonstrate a DIY filtering funnel where I cut a piece of 200 mesh filter and put it between the funnel body and the funnel tip. There are many ways to go about it. What do you like to do? Symphyotrichum novae-angliae,...

Who is ready for the full moon tonight? I am! And I have prepared some special tinctures for a protection spell using a banishing potion made of nightshade and hot chili pepper, along with my entheogenic elixir - Tincture of Monotropa uniflora. The full moon of March has been called the Worm Moon as it is associated the abundance of worms in the ground at this time of year, especially with all ...

This meditation is done with intent and good will to channel positivity and uplifting energy. The dandelion represents the sun and its life giving force to the soul. The mullein represents the wind and cleansing of the breath. The plantain represents the skin, a protector and healer from the harsh environment. The ginger represents the fire of the heart and blood vessels, warming the life force...

Dried Amanita pantherina and regalis caps were powdered, boiled, then a portion was strained for tincturing. The remaining slurry was reduced, then dehydrated on parchment paper. This is the result. #amanita #amanitapantherina #amanitaregalis #medicinalmushrooms #meditate #entheogens #handpan #handpanmusic

this gorgeous handpan is in the familiar key of D minor with beautiful resonances. BUT! It also has extra notes to really give this pan the mood to move around when activated. I love how expressive and dynamic this instrument is. I can't wait to explore it more with my meditations! check out Telson Handpans on Facebook, Instagram, and TH-cam. see my tincture/elixir/entheogenic potions menu on F...

I got a large "Tibetan Singing Bowl", which is basically a highly resonant metal alloy bowl. It can be used in various ways for meditation. Here, I am using it empty. I will show you a "Water Dance" bowl meditation in a future video. Visit my main page on Facebook. Aptenodoggo Apothecary Namaste 🙏💜 #singingbowl #tibetansingingbowl #meditate

Even a seemingly mundane act can be one of meditation. This exercise is calming for me. Yes, it is inefficient and slow. But speed is not my priority at this moment. Thoughtful processes provides my mind with a small goal with every movement. I recognize that my gestures are imperfect, reflecting human nature and perhaps indeed all life and all things. Yet, I am perfectly satisfied in the imper...

Aptenodoggo Apothecary visits Telson Handpans! Today, I visited my friend Sean of Telson Handpans. I met him a couple years ago at an open jam session at Stumbling Monkey Brewing Co. and he had his pan with him. We clicked right away and not long after, I ordered my first handpan from him (G# Phrygian!). Fast forward to today - the second handpan is complete - D melodic and harmonic minor! Craz...

My first video! Just showing the very useful, edible, and medicinal plant during winter in New York. Rhus typhina is a species of tree in the very large cashew family of plants that is native to North America. A very astringent plant, it has historically been used to make beverages, support the function of multiple organ systems, as well as GI support. check out my fb page - Aptenodoggo Apothec...
