What if boredom is not a problem to fix, but a passageway toward balance? In this reflection, I explore the sacred discipline of withdrawal—the quiet, often disquieting process of coming down from adrenaline and re-entering rhythm with life. Through practice, nature, and the words of the ancients, I trace what it means to find steadiness in a world addicted to speed. Healing often begins in disquieting discomfort, in the slowing, in the choosing not to escape—but to stay.

Last year, as eclipse season approached, I playfully sent out a “Recipe for Disaster”—a grounding oil blend meant to soothe the body and steady the mind. Days later, a hurricane hit our community, and that simple ritual became my anchor through the storm. A year later, as the body remembered, I turned again to the wisdom of Tantra, Yoga, and Ayurveda—this time healing through scent. In our newest episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, The Power of Scent, I explore this journey with Sage Apprentice and perfumist Kaitlin Rose Procknow, as we discuss how aroma can calm the nervous system, restore trust in the body, and reconnect us to Dharma.

Matangi is the Goddess of the Outcast—the Keeper of What Was Once Shunned. She is the Devi who does not polish herself for approval. She is not here to be palatable. She is here to be true. This post is in ode to the energy of this deity, who is celebrated on the 3rd day of the waxing moon in April- Matangi Jayanti.
