Gift Ideas from Pulling Down the Moon

Holiday Gift Ideas

Have you become an influencer in your friendship and family circles?  One of the silver linings of a fertility journey is that it often comes with a “PhD” in self-care.  Because of the challenges that come with fertility treatment - mood swings, disappointment, stress and frustration - it’s essential that we cultivate light and joy, and learn to treat ourselves with loving kindness.  Women who had never even considered a down dog before are now sharing the news about the awesomeness of yoga and therapeutic massage has been promoted from a luxury to a necessity. 


But let’s be real - our “thing” might be fertility challenges, but everyone in our lives is dealing with something, especially as we navigate this seemingly endless pandemic.  And the tools we have chosen to support our patients on their road to parenthood have benefits outside of the fertility realm. 


Choose three items from our Gifts With Meaning Collection (excluding gift cards) and take 15% off with code GIFTSWITHMEANING.


Ear Seeds:  One of the tools we use from Traditional Chinese Medicine are Ear Seeds, literally small seeds that can be adhered to different acupressure points in the ear.  When massaged gently, the seeds stimulate the point, generating a specific therapeutic effect.  At Pulling Down the Moon we offer seed kits specifically geared to fertility, depression, stress and anxiety.


Ear seeds are great whether or not you are seeing an acupuncturist on a regular basis.  If you are in treatment, your practitioner may recommend you wear them between treatments to extend treatment benefits.  If you aren’t currently seeing an acupuncturist, seeds are another great tool to help you manage specific conditions - like anxiety.  We even have Swarovski Crystal ear seeds for the glam gals in your life!  

Abdominal Wrap:  Abdominal wrapping is the ultimate self-care for stress, digestive issues and PMS/menstrual pain. Wrapping increases blood flow to the abdomen, lowers inflammation in the pelvic region, warms the belly and promotes relaxation.  From the yogic perspective, abdominal wrapping provides care and stimulation of our second chakra, the energy center that holds our power of creation and capacity for joy.  


Who should wrap?  Who do you know that could benefit from 20 minutes of self-care?  Who is suffering from PMS, constipation and/or blocked creativity.  Any way you look at it, abdominal wrapping is essentially a “prescription” for taking time out of your day to nourish yourself.  We think it’s a winner of a holiday gift!  


Intention Candles:  Here’s a secret about our Intention Candles, they’re not just for fertility!  Each beautiful, non-toxic scented candle comes with its own unique ritual to unlock the power of intention and includes dried botanicals and a unique gemstone to amplify your message to the universe. 


These are just a few of our amazing Self-Care Influencer gift selections.  Check out everything we have to offer at our online store!

Spring arrives next month, and with it, more cold days (perhaps even snow)! But March also brings the promise of new life. We love this time of year. The ground starts to smell fresh and ripe. Small green buds begin to swell from the earth reaching up, up, up. Birds chatter in the trees. The sun stays in the sky a little longer each day. After a long, cold winter of hibernation, spring restores nature’s beauty. Spring inspires us to restore ourselves, too and these self-care techniques will lead you to restoration of mind, body and spirit. Hydrate. Drink a glass or two of water first thing in the morning. Keeping yourself hydrated helps boost your mood, improves brain power and protects you against disease. Make a gratitude list. Spending just a few minutes a day writing down what you are grateful for can dramatically shift your day. The more gratitude you have, the more open to abundance you become. Breathe. Set aside a few minutes each day to practice breathing. There are so many benefits! Among them, diaphragmatic breathing alleviates stress, reduces pain, strengthens internal muscles and moves blood to organs and tissues. If you’re not sure how to get started, try our Breathe & Restore Workshop or schedule an Soothe the Senses: Calm the Nervous System Fertility Enhancing Massage™ to receive some hands-on breath work coaching. Stretch. Five to 10 minutes of stretching in the morning increases energy levels, enhances circulation, reduces injury and centers your mind. Even better is a regular yoga practice. Get started by downloading the Fully Fertile App today to give you a jump start! Our next Signature Yoga for Fertility Series begins on Monday, February 24th to reduce anxiety and stress by 20% or more in just six weeks. Eliminate something from your diet that isn’t serving you. I nstead of overhauling your entire diet, start by taking out one food that doesn’t nourish your body. Replace it with a different item that supports your desire for restoration. Learn even more by working with scheduling a nutrition consult ! We look forward to seeing you virtually or in-person at one of our centers to help you get started. Many wishes for a beautiful spring!
