RE: A (Vague) Resolution or Two for 2019: Response to The Natural Medicine Resolution Challenge (Plus Weekend Away in Strathbogie - Photos)
Strathbogies! Gorgeous!!
Firstly, don’t do a Naturopathy course.... another mortgage for information you could probably learn within the NM community (and probably learn better stuff anyway). I know there’s a free online herbalism course my partner is doing, and I think I saw someone mention it in our group.... maybe it was @ofsedgeandsalt?
The biggest mistake I ever made with teaching Tai Chi & Qigong was that what I was teaching others wasn’t what I needed for my own personal practice.
I became so obsessed with ensuring I was practicing the forms and movements I was teaching others, that I ignored the ones I needed for where I was at. I read an interview with yogini a year or so back that gave that wisdom — for your own practice do what is appropriate for you. Of course we’re going to be at different levels than our students...
You’ve got this!

Both good bits of advice, babe, and thankyou - muchly appreciated. If you've got the link to the herbalism course, that'd be awesome. How is your partner finding that course? I guess I still wonder about some kind of personal legitimacy you gain from a certification but that's bollocks of course. And no way would I contemplate naturopathy - no way do I want the debt just as I'm scaling down work life! Don't you worry about that!
I was trying to explain that to J. and friend - hence why I got teary. The thing is, I know I'd be good at it, but far out, it's sooo much work and energy when really what do I do it for? My own personal development and joy. And yeah, I certainly don't want to teach what I can't do myself, which kinda worries me too, as I'm always going through such STUFF that I dont feel responsible enough to guide others through their own stuff! Does that make sense?
Love you x
Oh and yeah, the Strathbogies - gee it's nice up there! The swimming creeks/holes were definitely needed - it was really hot up there too!
Yeah and the way things are going, anyone with a Naturopathy degree is not going to be able to see clients anyway, and they’re all just trained to peddle our nutraceuticals and supplements.
There’s a couple of good podcasts she listens to also, I’ll find some info and shoot it your way.
And despite all the positivity gibberish, I feel that if I’m not confident to teach something to someone it’s because I’m not meant to. Personal opinion, not a popular one.

Well that's a shame. My naturopath is BRILLIANT...
