Finding Your Higher Self: Your Guide to Cannabis for Self-Care

by Sophie Saint Thomas

Incorporate the calming effects of cannabis into your self-care routine with more than 100 activities for an elevated sense of wellbeing.

Self-care is an important part of modern-day life, as we all strive to slow down and take better care of our minds, bodies, and souls. Now you can add some THC (or CBD) to your TLC. This guide advises ways to incorporate cannabis into your self-care routine, with tips on creating a CBD topical to rub on stiff muscles, drawing a warm bath with essential oils and a soothing lungful of calming cannabis, or relaxing in child’s pose after a few gentle doses of your vape pen. This book has advice for infusing your day with the healing and soothing power of marijuana.

Use cannabis to unwind as a healthy alternative to a glass of wine or try adding it into your meditation practice, yoga session, or your bathing rituals to maximize your quiet moments. Finding Your Higher Self includes a multitude of activities to enjoy throughout the day when you need some “me” time.

I don't suppose I can actually get mad at a book just for turning out to be exactly what I thought it was going to be; but eh, I think I'm going to do at least a little bit of it here. That's because Sophie Saint Thomas' Finding Your Higher Self was supposed to be different than that, an actual well-thought-out guide to cannabis and self-care, full of unique and thought-provoking exercises you can do while high to really stir up the creative and emotional juices, and not just the same suburban New Agey Pinterest listicle collection that all these cutesy little point-of-sale books end up being. So that it turns out to be the same old recommendations about baths and scented candles and healing crystals should come as a surprise to no one, but was disappointing nonetheless, a book I thought was going to be interesting but instead was just the same old "commercialization of self-care" nonsense. Not recommended.

Extremely short with 30% being resources and index. Light and fluffy on the science, not helpful as a medical resource. It's very touchy feely and I'm very not.

Mind, Body, & Soul

This book has many ideas I will entertain. However, this isn't a book I read every word of. I feel some ideas like emailing (no thanks, I already hate emails as it is), and hanging with friends (duh this is an obvious) could have stayed out of this book. However, I think some may find this book helpful in giving them ideas like I did to relax and enjoy life & cannabis at the same time.

An okay read

Loved the recipes given to make our own topicals and tinctures, etc. but most suggestions were everyday things I already do. I was expecting something different.

Reads like a recipe book. Some good ideas in here, but best suited for a very beginning guide for those new to cannabis.
