Mindful Moments...knowing when to take a breath
Wednesday 25th January 2017
As part of our recent training with the gorgeous UK based company Spiezia Organics, we were introduced to the concept of mindfulness within beauty treatments.
Mindfulness is defined as the physiological process of bringing your attention to internal and external experiences that are occurring at the present moment - in short being aware of what is happening to you right now.
This can be easily done by focusing on your breathing. By consciously slowing down your breath you reduce your heart rate and help to calm your nervous system putting the body into a state of relaxation.
As a nation we worry too much, are stressed to high heaven and can all be rather highly strung at times. By bringing ourselves into the present moment we allow the mind to focus and the body to relax.
Stress is often an overlooked factor of many common physical and emotional aliments, and stress reducing techniques can help us all become healthier on the inside and the outside.
Although all the treatments from Made for Life by Spiezia Organics use mindfulness techniques within them, there is one very special treatment called Mindful Moments which I would like to talk about.
Imagine yourself being guided through a breathing and meditation ritual, whilst your feet are soaked in warm water infused with one the 3 Mindful Moments oil blends.
The Connect and Nurture blend contains lavender, chamomile and geranium to help ground you and give yourself a well needed Mindful Moments hug.
The Uplift and Energise blend contains rosemary, sage and thyme to help even the most tired of souls feel re energised.
The Focus and Clarify blend offers invigorating vetiver, bergamot and frankincense to help you re align your focus.
You are then encouraged to drift off to a deep and meaningful back neck and shoulder massage finished off with a gorgeous scalp massage.
Physical and emotional stress simply melts away and you are left feeling totally comforted and relaxed with a new positive energy.
This is the power of combining mindfulness within massage treatments, this is Mindful Moments by Spiezia Organics.
