Anything that is not a vibrational match for you and your destiny is going to fall away. When you feel that things aren’t going your way, a job opportunity falls through, a relationship ends, you don’t get accepted into a course ect. Shift your perspective to interpret this as an opportunity to continue on a more aligned path. Now look at how much space and energy you have to create a new reality. 🌹 Then close your eyes, hand on your heart (we do this to help engage the vegal break that helps us to switch from sympathetic nervous system-fight/flight- to parasympathetic nervous system-rest and digest). Take a couple of deep breaths, focusing on the exhales. Repeat lovingly to yourself: “In spite of my.... (guilt,fear,shame) the will of my heart is to be open. Nothing in my reality is more powerful than the vibration of love.” Pain doesn’t chase pleasure away, that is an illusion from the ego.
Q- What are your thoughts on the current stigma around beauty, influencers and instagram? And how do you personally maintain internal happiness when you see the ‘highlight reel’ or ‘flawless’ lifestyles. A- The highlight reel is but a carefully curated moment in time, captured and then edited to depict a “flawless” face, body, life. Life is far from flawless, and in that fact is the beauty. I feel it is becoming more widely recognised that this is the case and I feel an important topic to continually address, as mental health issues are rampant and this is certainly fuelling the fire. I don’t feel Instagram is necessarily solely to blame, although it is contributing to the issue.  I feel as you invest more in how you feel, emotionally and mentally, doing things that light you up and make you feel balanced, radiant and healthy, this translates into your sense of self worth and how you view yourself. I urge you to stop giving your power away. If an account you're following on Instagram effects your self esteem negatively and isn’t making you feel light, inspired and happy, unfollow. Curate your life to reflect what lights you up! This isn’t limited to scrolling, consider the shows you’re watching, books you're reading, people you're spending time with and your living and working environment. * read more from my interview with the beautiful @sabbiaco - link in my bio 🌹🌹
What does a Cosmetic Acupuncture session involve? ☯️Lymphatic Drainage: Massaging the face gently with a Jade Roller promotes circulation, tightens pores and helps with the natural process of draining excess fluid around the skin. The jade stone has been used for many years as it exhibits anti-ageing benefits through its cooling effect on the skin. ☯️Cosmetic Acupuncture: A combination of small, fine needles and intra-dermal needles are utilised to stimulate specific acupuncture points to assist in treating individual concerns. ☯️ Body Acupuncture: Acu-points are chosen on the body to assist to improving any deficiencies or imbalances that have been discussed during the consultation. * Removal of needles: After 25 minutes needles are removed. ☯️ Application of anti-ageing serum and day cream: products are chosen as they are 100% natural and free of any nasty chemicals. ☯️ Care instructions provided and dietary and lifestyle program discussed to assist in improving overall health and wellbeing. It’s important to understand ageing is a natural process but the speed in which it happens can be either accelerated or slowed down according to our general health, and dietary/lifestyle choices. With that in mind, many people opt to firstly address any health concerns that may impact the benefits received from such anti-ageing treatments.
