February Edition
WHY DO I LOVE MYSELF
It feels as consciousness moves forward, we are being asked once again To know ourselves better. This Seems To Be A repeating Trend Ive Seen Over The Past Few Months. Asking us the collective To Not Find Comfort In the People and Things Around us But Find Comfort from Within. Why do i Love Myself? asking this question to the feeling of what it feels like to be me. Rather than finding reasons outside of myself, I Turn Inwards. Finding a new reason Something we don't know yet, Something That comforts Us. Tuning into ourselves may seem as if we are separating From The Present. But going within is how we grow closer together And Further Become Present in Ourselves. When We Go Inward We Influence The Energy of Those Around Us To Do The Same Further Allowing Us To Be In Collective Connection Without Awareness.

NEW SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
BENEFITS OF DRY BRUSHING
Although this is a fairly new trend, this self-care practice has existed for centuries. It was traditionally an Ayurvedic ritual of gently exfoliating the skin (while dry), using a special bristle brush, this Practice stimulates circulation, increases lymphatic flow and Moves galvanized energy From The Skin. This Energy that lies on the top of the skin can be thought of as a static which can block the sensation of external energies. Removing This Energy With A Simple Brushing Technique Will Increase the Purity Of The Energy That Enters Your Body.
I have been doing this practice for several months and have significantly noticed changes in my skin and Energy. Once I removed all the dead skin cells it felt as if I had removed stagnant Energy from my body, and felt an instant sense of clarity and lightness within my Energy. The appearance of my skin has changed dramatically also, leaving it more supple and glowing. You don’t realize the heaviness of the dead skin cells until it’s removed. It’s truly an amazing routine I’ve fallen into and would highly recommend trying it out.
DRY BRUSHING TIPS
Make sure you choose the right brush. (some can be abrasive)
Natural Fibers with firm bristles that are strong enough to help stimulate and remove dead skin cells without scratching the skin.
I purchased my brush at Walgreens for $8.00. I’ve found the rounded brushes work the best so you can use circular motions while brushing, and choose Wood over Plastic backing. The wood is more grounding and helps stimulate blood flow as well.
Dry Brush your skin before your Shower
You want to dry brush before your shower so the skin that was loosened by brushing can be rinsed off. Use light pressure, the brush does the work for you, so no need to scrub hard. You don’t want to scratch the skin or have it be painful.
Always use strokes of brushing toward the heart
The Direction of the strokes should always be toward the heart for that is the direction of your circulatory system. Tracy Adkins (an Ayurvedic practitioner) suggests this and in my experience, I feel it definitely makes a difference.
Apply Oil after brushing
Applying oil after brushing is great for restoring moisture and balance to the skin after brushing. I usually wait 5 minutes before jumping in the shower to rinse. (Oil is recommended but not imperative, you can always moisturize after your shower. If you do decide to oil before the shower, be careful as you rinse it off as the shower floor could become slippery. Another issue I’ve run into in my experience. lol. Not fun ;)
FEBRUARY SPIRITUAL CHANNELING
I feel Spirit wanted to touch on the subject of Unconditional Love and what it truly means; and with Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I would share with everyone.
Unconditional Love is loving with no bounds. It means never having to say Sorry. Just a knowing that the other understands you and knows your true heart. To Love Unconditionally is to love constantly, and stay through the not-so-shiny moments, the arguments, the hurt. It's loving even when it seems hard to Love. Unconditional Love is a slightly higher vibration of Love; this consists of loving through and through. Through the ugly, Through the Hurt, Through the Pain. Through Emotions that you didn’t even know existed. You truly have to understand yourself and love on yourself in a completely selfless manner to offer unconditional love. There is no blaming or shame unto that unconditional love for that person, it’s just there staring you in the face with a smile; even if you're broken.
Imagine… Just for a moment how that might feel. To know you have that from either side. Really, think about it.
How fucking gratifying that unconditional love would feel from either side. Pretty Amazing. Someone who loves you no matter what. No matter the consequence.
This is Pure True Unconditional Love. It’s a feeling most people think of when they think of their children or parents, but not seen so much in relationships or marriages. People get caught up in the Emotions of everything, and I’m not saying to not feel the hurt or pain but what I am saying is to stop and think of why things are happening or why they might have happened. Don’t make things so black and white. If there is a problem it can always be resolved, especially when there is unconditional love involved. When you have a person in your life who has unconditional love for you there are no mistakes. Realize that Sometimes the people who treat you the worst are the people teaching the lessons. Always flip the script and see things from a different perspective. Like “ What is it I’m learning from this?” Why did this happen? Try not to hold on to the emotions for too long, because, in the end, you are truly only hurting yourself by holding these negative emotions within your body. Remember Negative emotions/Energies are something we have taken on during our life here on Earth and are something we can heal with Energy work.
The one thing to remember here is that we are all beings of love and light. The Heart's true nature is to love. Throughout life, Guilt, fear, jealousy, and misbeliefs imprint negativity on our precious hearts. When we are children we know nothing else, but Love. As We get older we tend to get stuck in a wheel of negative patterned emotions, we are human, and that's okay. Always remember, Underneath all that hurt is still a heart that only knows love.
Stay Stunning and Grateful.
LOVE & LIGHT
