14 Days of Beauty: Day 4, The Forehead

Give yourself a forehead massage sometime today. We carry a lot of tension in this area. Massage is a good way to increase circulation and smooth out those worry lines we often create.

Lift the heel of your hand to the center of your forehead, to the space between your eye brows.
Allow all the weight of your head to fall forward into the heel of your hand.
Breathe long and deeply.
Begin making small circular rotations with the heel of your hand on your forehead.
Do this first clockwise and then counter clockwise.

Rub a small amount of essential oil on your temples for an increased relaxation effect.

Chakra

This chakra is known as the "third eye." The color assocation with this chakra is indigo and

relates to self responsibility. We are responsible for our own lives, we have a responsibility to ourselves to follow the our path and we need to trust our intuition. We need to focus on the whole picture and act with knowledge, love and compassion. We must not act upon satifsfaction or ego. This energy connects us to our unconscious self, and creates the experience of being part of the whole universe.

14 Days of Beauty

We crave beauty. Whether it be in ourselves, our loved ones, our relationship or in our surroundings. This month, I will give a daily beauty tip. Make it your goal this month to pamper yourself daily, even if it is just for a moment. It is so important that we love ourselves first before we give a part of ourselves to others. Know that YOU are important, beautiful, unique and powerful.

Let's focus on the head: the crown.



Today, take care of your crown by massaging the scalp with jojoba oil or shea butter. This invigorates, while simulating and increasing the blood flow and circulation to this area.



For those of you that enjoy reading about or connecting to your chakras, or main energy centers, this is the crown, the seventh chakra, and the color associated with it is violet. This is the connection to your higher self. Disease can result from an imbalance of energy in this chakra. The violet energy connects us to wisdom and inner strength. It also purifies our thoughts and feelings, giving us inspiration in all of our duties. It develops artistic talent as well as creativity.
