Remote Traveling: Staying Connected to a Place You Love

If you ask me what herb I use for almost everything… the answer is probably dandelion 🌿

Kids have an ear infection? Dandelion.
Need immune support? Dandelion.
Honestly, if there’s a problem… I’m probably reaching for dandelion first.

I’ve been using dandelion tinctures for years, and not to be dramatic, but being able to forage it myself where I live and make my own tinctures and tea feels like a dream come true. There’s something about stepping outside, gathering what’s already growing around you, and turning it into medicine for your family.

But recently, this practice has started to mean something even deeper to me.

With my husband being a pilot, there’s a real possibility that we could end up moving. And if I’m honest, that’s been hard for me to sit with. I’ve never felt more at home anywhere than I do here. There’s a connection I feel to this land that I can’t fully explain. It’s grounding, it’s supportive, it feels like it’s held me and my family in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. So the idea of leaving feels really heavy.

But making this tincture has shifted something in me. Because I realized… I’m not just making an herbal remedy. I’m working with the energy of this place. And if we do leave, I won’t be leaving empty-handed. I’ll be bringing this with me.

Not just as a tincture, but as something that holds the frequency of this land. A way to stay connected. A way to continue receiving from a place that has supported me so deeply.

In astrocartography, there’s a concept called Remote Activation, originally introduced by Jim Lewis. It’s the idea that you can connect with the energy of a place without physically being there. And the way I experience that… feels like something I’d call remote traveling.

Like I can return to this place energetically.
Like its support doesn’t just disappear because I’m no longer physically here.

This tincture feels like a bridge between locations. Between chapters. Between versions of my life. And maybe that’s part of the medicine too.
