June is dedicated to Brain Health, a crucial aspect of our overall well-being. Our brain is our connection to the universe, and maintaining its health and clarity is essential for our intuition, alignment, and universal connection to flow seamlessly. Today, June 13th, is National Dance/Movement Therapy Advocacy Day, highlighting the significant role physical activity plays in mental and emotional health. Let’s celebrate by exploring how physical activity and targeted nutrition can enhance our brain health and overall well-being.
Movement and Brain Health
Engaging in physical activities such as tai chi and yoga benefits the body and boosts brain health. These exercises stimulate neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Supplements like CoQ10 and B vitamins support cellular energy, optimizing both physical and mental stamina. Research shows that physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, enhancing cognitive performance. Maintaining a strong body-mind connection enhances our alignment with the universe. For women, this alignment fosters a sense of balance and harmony, enabling us to feel more centered and grounded. This connection helps us manage everyday stresses, stay mentally sharp, and feel more in control of our lives.
By incorporating targeted nutrition and physical activity into our daily routines we can enhance brain health and overall well-being. Here are a few of our favorite movement supports.

Ritual for Self-Care: Connecting with Your Brain through Movement
In honor of National Dance/Movement Therapy Advocacy Day, create a self-care ritual focused on movement to enhance brain health and mental clarity:
- Set Your Space: Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you can move freely. Light a candle or use an essential oil diffuser with calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus.
- Warm-Up: Begin with gentle stretching to awaken your muscles and joints. Focus on your breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling fully to center yourself.
- Dance/Movement Session: Put on your favorite music and let your body move naturally. Whether you prefer structured dance, yoga, or free-form movement, allow yourself to flow with the rhythm. Focus on how each movement feels and the joy it brings.
- Cool Down: Finish with a few minutes of slow, mindful movements or stretches. Reflect on how the movement has made you feel and any shifts in your mental clarity or emotional state.
- Hydrate and Nourish: After your movement session, hydrate with water or a nourishing herbal tea. Consider taking your Naked Organs Bison Heart or Organifi Collagen to support your recovery and brain health.
- Journal: Spend a few minutes journaling about your experience. Note any insights, feelings, or thoughts that arose during your movement practice.
Prioritizing brain health through physical activity and proper nutrition is essential for mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
