In an effort to detoxify all area's of my life I have been playing around with recipes not only in the kitchen for consumption, but also in skin care clearing out the chemical laden products more and more. This one is one of my favourites!

The clay is firming and detoxing for the skin. The honey is naturally soothing and cleansing. It is also naturally antibacterial and is great for the skins healing. Lavender is great for treating acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It is also a natural antibacterial and antiviral.  Rosemary oil has cell regeneration properties re-hydrating and toning your skin. Finally, Rose oil has an astringent property resulting in toning and lifting skin improving the skins health and texture.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1 teaspoon of water
  
• 2 drops of lavender essential oil
• 2 drops of rosemary essential oil
• 2 drops of rose essential oil
  

What to Do:

1. Mix the bentonite clay with the honey and mix to form a thick paste.
2. Add enough warm water to form a thin paste.
   
3. Add lavender, rose and rosemary essential oils and mix in.
4. Immediately apply to face and neck. Gently massage onto face in an upward circular motion, avoiding the eyes.
5. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
6. Wash off with a very wet wash cloth.
   
7. Gently pat skin dry.
   
8. Apply a couple drops of avocado oil.
   

Enjoy!

On my path to healing, self-care and rediscovery of mySelf, I am fascinated by the power of our thoughts and vibrations. The ripple effect of one loving thought, one loving word, one loving action is powerful!

A couple weeks ago I decided to try out Dr. Emoto's rice experiment for three reasons/purposes -
1. Curiosity! Would it actually work. You'll see below by the mass amount of mould on the Hate jar below, that yes, it did.
2. A context for conversation with my kiddos. The question about vocabulary and behaviour choices is now - would that go in the Hate jar, or the Love jar? It has been really shifting in our conversations. I love it!
3. A visual reminder to myself. The impact of words on others and yourself. The words repeatedly spoken and actions continuously presented toward me in a particular situation in my life (which is now dramatically shifting), has had a huge effect. Those interactions had time to fester. I need to remember to be loving to myself in order to clear the mould, if you will. And that takes time. Each layer needs care-filled, gentle, loving time to renew, repair, and regrow. Also, remembering that I don't need to add to that mould with self defeating/harming language. How can I choose to speak to myself from the Love jar? How can I protect myself more efficiently from situations and interactions that spew from the Hate jar? How do I clear the mould most efficiently?

Sending you loving thoughts straight from the Love jar!

A solo, silent meditation in the meditation room at the Chopra Centre. I cried with relief knowing that, for even just a few moments, I could fully shut off. There is something so powerful in those breaths of stillness.
