Take it easy, take it slow.
Try setting intentions prior to your next CBD dose.
Regardless, of where you are, and no matter how busy that you are, 60 seconds of mindful presence can make a world of a difference in your day/night, especially when incorporating CBD in these moments.
how mindful dosing creates a better cbd experience
Have you ever noticed the difference between taking a slow, mindful morning, carefully brewing a cup of coffee or tea and enjoying it in complete presence, versus mornings when you’re rushing to get out of the door? The same applies to your experience with CBD. You may notice that you experience a greater sense of full-bodied presence after consuming CBD, however, it’s so crucial to begin this presence-process prior to consumption.
Try this out: The next time you take CBD, find yourself a quiet moment in a comfortable space. Take a few deep belly breaths, thinking of your intentions and remind yourself of why you chose to add CBD into your daily routine. This process will bring you into complete mind-body awareness, allowing you to be in a divine, enhanced state of self.
It’s not magic, but it certainly feels like it! Let’s say, for example, that you’ve been experiencing some mild aches surrounding your knee or shoulders, and would like to relax at the end of the day with one of our CBD products. Once you’re in your quiet space, set your intention to find temporary relief from the aches, and achieve a comfortable night’s sleep. 20-30 minutes after consumption, you’ll likely find yourself inspired to do a gentle self-massage of the muscles in this area. Your state of relaxation and presence will guide you throughout the massage, and you’ll be able to pinpoint the exact areas that need direct care. This degree of self-care and self-awareness will relax the mind and the body to a degree that will allow you to drift off into dreamland with much more ease and peace of mind. Alternatively, you could try this method in a similar fashion with situations and thoughts that are causing you to stress. Despite the density of the thoughts and feelings surrounding the situation, find yourself a few moments of clarity to state your intention before taking the CBD. After consumption, you’ll find the CBD has had some impact, lifting some of the weight off of your shoulders, and temporarily relieving the tension of the stress. Without the mental clutter, you’ll have an easier time to think through your stress, and to pinpoint what it is about the situation that you’re in that is causing so much tension and resistance.
you’re in control
Grounding and setting your intentions allow you to cruise through your relaxed state with ease. If you have aches and pains, or subconscious worries, grounding allows you to unravel your thoughts, and experience bodily sensations without the automatic “receptive” response that the brain will sometimes take.
Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, and won’t facilitate a mental or bodily “high”. However, both derived from the hemp plant, and binding to receptors of the endocannabinoid system, you can control your experience, and use CBD to navigate where you would like it to go, and how you would like it to assist in your health and happiness.
the mind, the breath, and the ECS (endocannabinoid system)
While mindfulness and intention-setting do involve the brain, the process is first initiated in the body. The truth is, one of CBD’s greatest strengths is its ability to harmonize the connection between the mind and the body. Which is incredibly easy to lose when feelings of stress arise. Breath-work or a few intentional deep breaths are incredibly powerful, almost as much as CBD, to bring harmony between the mind and the body during any given moment as well.
