How did we do? Any feedback or recommended edits?
Thank you! I'd love to hear your impressions so we can improve it further.
I was on a nature walk yesterday where we looked at edible and medicinal plants. The guide pointed out mugwort and mentioned that it’s sometimes called the “dreaming herb” because it’s believed to stimulate more vivid dreams.
I looked online afterward and saw that some people drink mugwort tea to encourage lucid dreaming or more vivid mental imagery. That made me wonder whether anyone has tried using it before hypnotherapy, either personally or with clients, to deepen imagery, trance, or dreamlike experiences. According to my internet search the answer appears to be yes.
Has anyone here experimented with mugwort in that context? Did it seem to have any noticeable effect?
My grandfather was a Lemko Rusyn from Southeastern Poland. His family was a member of a church here in the USA heavily associated with the Lemko people of Poland.
What I'm trying to understand is how my grandmother fits in. From my genealogy research her family came from a small village just North of Lviv, Ukraine. It isn't geographically too far from Poland, but from what I can tell it isn't exactly in the mountains of Carpathia. Her family were members of a church in a different town.
What I'm trying to understand is whether my grandmother's family was also Carpatho Rusyn or simply "Galician" outside those bound. Both were both here in the USA (NEPA), both were able to speak to each other in Rusyn, and culturally they never seemed at odds as far as I could tell. I just assumed they came from exactly the same culture, but a few people online have made the distinction between the two locations.
Any thoughts or insights people might have here? Was it likely they were both Carpatho Rusyn? Or just both broadly "Rusyns?" Is it possible the two families differences were minor anyway and just got smoothed out in the USA communities when they came together?
I'm curious if anyone has had this experience or witnessed it as a hypnotherapist?
Is it common in past life regressions? If so, does it appear equally in men and women undergoing the regression?
