Sounds like bliss right? Read on to create your very own sacred healing space.

  1. First of all, you need to find a place where you won’t be disturbed. If you live in a busy household investing in a lock on your door, a decent set of head phones or ear plugs is a great place to start!
  1. Next in your chosen space clear the clutter! This will eliminate old stagnant negative energies & allow for fresh new positive healing energy to flow through your special new healing space.
  1. Now the fun begins! Time to decorate your new special scared place! You could hang a screen, beads, or a billowy curtain to emphasize the importance of the environment as a place of solitude.
  1. Place a special rug & pillows on the floor to induce a state of comfort & nurturing.
  1. Next, set up an altar with spiritual objects to bring in the energy of spirituality. Each object can be placed with an intention for going deep within your heart and soul. Crystals are great for this.
  1. Creating your altar can be as simple as draping a small table with a special fabric. On top of the table, place items such as a scented candle, incense burner, essential oil diffuser, or natural objects like rocks and seashells that bring in the earth element.
  1. Add plants and flowers for energy, colour and increased oxygen. Lavender and purple symbolize spirituality, pink opens the heart, green brings in nature’s balance and yellow stimulates health. Read up on chakra colours & trust your inner guidance while choosing your colours.
  1. Hang pictures of gardens, mountains, angels, spiritual symbols, meaningful quotes & affirmations to impart a feeling of peace and harmony. There are many beautiful ones to choose from, pick the ones that sing to your soul.
  1. It is also a great place to play soft music (the spa radio channel on Pandora is great for this) Keep your personal development books & any spiritual guidance cards in this special place to offer you inspiration & further guidance.

    This sacred place you’ve just created is a perfect place to ask for guidance, connect with your higher self, do yoga, practice deep breathing & meditation to create a positive vision for your life. As you refocus on your inner life, you’ll find yourself calmer, clearer, happier and more inspired to follow your heart.

Enjoy your new scared healing space!

Natural Beauty & Self-Care Guide

Looking your best doesn’t have to be expensive or unnatural. Here are 10 easy ways to get beautiful, naturally, right now!

1. Dry skin brush

Use a bristled brush and stroke your skin while still dry a few mornings a week before you shower. This simple morning routine increases circulation of lymph and blood and removes dead skin cells! You’ll get glowing, smooth and touch-worthy skin, guaranteed.

2. Sauna

Sweating is good for us and a dry sauna helps the body excrete toxins. The skin is one of the body’s elimination organs and when we allow it to breath by removing dead cells (dry skin brush) and sweat it can do its job a lot better.

3. Exercise

Get the blood flowing with some kind of exercise of your choice. It will bring colour to your skin and the increased amount of endorphins and confidence looks good on you! Include some exercises like Pilates or yoga for good posture. Hold your head high, be present and smile – you are beautiful!

4. Have sex

After an orgasm your body gets flooded with the feel-good hormone endorphin and growth hormones that make you look and feel young. That’s right – these hormones help wipe out damage from sun and stress. The deep breathing you experience during sex also increases your oxygen intake and decreases stress. So go forth!

5. Green Juice

A green juice is like a loaded liquid multi vitamin! Cucumber is hydrating, especially for your skin, and the greens are alkalizing and aid the body’s detoxification process. Try this as your one-a-day multi and see what happens.

6. Eat fat and make an oil change

We need god fats to maintain a skin that’s well hydrated – that stays plump, dewy and wrinkle free. Eat avocados, salmon, chia seeds, sardines and coconut oil and ditch the processed oils (canola, sunflower, corn, soy etc.) – they are much more likely to oxidize and cause inflammation in the body – and is therefor not a beatifying food at all.

7. Get a shower filter

Our body absorbs what we put on it –  and that goes for the water we bath and shower in too! There is added chlorine in all our tap water today. Chlorine dries out the skin and can even cause rashes and itchiness. Get a shower filter that filters out chlorine and other chemicals from you water. Your skin will thank you!

8. Lather your skin with oils

Avoid the toxic perfumes, parabens and additives and lather your skin up with 100% pure oils like coconut, jojoba, argan oil and Shea butter. Jojoba oil is especially great for oily skin as it help balance out the skins natural occurring oils.

9. Eat the rainbow

Fruit and vegetables with bright colours are also high in antioxidants that help fight free radicals in out body. Free radicals are a main source of aging for our skin and body, so beat it at the cause with natural foods, not with fillers and expensive topical magic potions.

10. Cut the sugar

By now you’ve probably heard that sugar is toxic and can lead to a range of chronic diseases. But it also causes inflammation, which make you age faster, cause wrinkles and even acne. Stick to fruits and sweet vegetables as your main sources of sweetness. (Bonus: you’ll get all those good antioxidants in too!

Go & embrace your beautiful self naturally!
