Nurture | Home | Womb
With more moon light hrs then day light hrs signaling the earth's body and our body into deep states of rest, a time to listen to nature's rythmn.
How are you nurturing your home (body) this winter?
Have you heard of dry brushing? This is one of the best ways to remedy winter stagnation by detoxify your lymphatic system while boosting your immune system and giving your nervous system a little happy positive boost.
There are many benefits to dry brushing
1. Lymphatic Support
The lymphatic system is a major part of the body’s immune system. It is made up of organs and lymph nodes, ducts, and vessels that transport lymph throughout the body. Many of these lymph vessels run just below the skin. Proponents of dry brushing claim that brushing the skin regularly helps stimulate the normal lymph flow within the body and helps the body detoxify itself naturally.
2. Exfoliation
This benefit is often noticed the first time a person dry brushes. The process of running a firm, natural bristled brush over the skin helps loosen and remove dead skin cells, naturally exfoliating skin. No more need for expense exfoliators or plastic microbeads in our waterways.
3. Clean Pores (& Smaller Pores!)
The added benefit of exfoliating the skin is clearing oil, dirt, and residue from the pores. Use a smaller, gentler dry brush for the face.
LET'S GET NAKED
Start at your ankles and move up your body, brushing towards your heart. Move your brush in long, upward strokes - as if painting on a masterpiece that is your body.
Whilst you dry brushing different parts of your body, thank them for the gifts they have bestowed on you. There's nothing more that lifts the spirit then the simple act of gratitude and thanks to what God has gifted you
●To our strong legs, we thank them for allowing us to run far and wide. They take us to the highest mountains, swim in the deepest of oceans and walk us away from people who no longer serve our highest self anymore.
●To our chest, we thank them for holding our precious heart safe, opening the gates to let precious moments slip in.
And so on...
