Skin Cleansing
Today I’m writing about a small topic called cleansing, cleansing your face that is! Many clients who come in to see me for the first time tell me that they cleanse their skin in the shower with the same hot water they’re using for the rest of their body. Well, at very least the face is getting cleansed, however not without jeopardizing the skin in the long run. Let me tell you why this is a bad idea.
When it comes to cleaning the face temperature matters. Hot water can strip our facial skin of its natural barrier leaving skin feeling dry, depleted and vulnerable to the elements. Another problem is extra hot water enlarges capillaries and blood vessels in our dermal layer. Some of these little capillaries may even burst. This can ultimately cause irreversible redness in the skin and no one wants that. Lastly, a higher water temperature can cause unnecessary sensitivity in our skin.
A simple ritual of cleansing your skin over the bathroom sink with cold to tepid water is the best way to care for your face. Apply preferred cleanser with fingers, massage cleanser into skin, rinse with cold to tepid water over the bathroom sink, pat dry with towel. Treat your skin with tender loving care.
Never use hot or super warm water on the face! This may be a couple of extra steps, but your face will thank you.
My Healing Journey
It all begins with an idea.
My healing journey began about 14years ago when I went through a very traumatic divorce. Everything felt brand new to me, like who am I, what am I doing in the world, and how do I begin to reinvent myself? As I look back at that time in my life it felt pretty hopeless, however something larger than myself kept urging me to move forward.
The journey began! I started reading books on self-help and spirituality, signing up for classes at a metaphysical store in town, I devoured anything spiritual in nature. My circle of friends and community started to blossom. My intuitive sense told me there was so much more healing and wisdom to attain.
As I write this today, my healing journey is ongoing, and may be for the rest of my time on the planet. However, as I look back on my path, I realize I became the person who I was supposed to be and have an understanding of what my soul purpose is for my life -SERVICE.
While I continue my own healing journey, I am here to serve you on yours. Over time I began to open the gifts of energy healing by becoming a Reiki practitioner. I have also been certified in Oneness Blessing, sacred geometry healing, crystal energy healing, Tibetan singing bowls, and my latest addition is sound healing with crystal singing bowls. I also facilitate a drum circle, which is a beautiful way to create your own healing medicine in community.
We live in a 3D world that is full of fear and density and can be very tricky to navigate. People, now more than ever, are looking for ways to heal and create more harmony in their lives. Energy healing is a very impactful way to do just that. When we are open, present, and grounded, we can begin to align with the higher part of self, or soul. Alignment with the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bodies can bring us into higher states of consciousness which assists us and the collective in our highest evolution.
There are so many blessings that come along with healing service, and I am endlessly grateful to share these gifts with you.
