5 step self-lymph massage

The lymphatic system is one of the key parts of the immune system. If you feel congested it may be because you have some extra lymphatic fluid in the head.

So… do you want to upper-cut the cold season?! Get rid of head-aches from congestion, dizzyness, vertigo and all the side symptoms with having a cold.

Here is an easy 5 step self-lymph massage you can do on yourself to get this fluid down out of your head!

1. To start we will find the VENUS ANGLE wich is the primary place where all the lymphatic fluids drains back into the body. It’s located between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and in a small divit where the clavicle is. Take your ring fnger and put it in the inside of the collar bone on each side. Lightly start to pum towards the heart once every 2 seconds about 50 times.

2. Take the flat partof your finger and palms on either side of the neck and hold on and pull down allong the angle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle towards the heart once every 2 seconds about 50 times.

3. Cup your hands, put your fingers and the top part of your palm on the back of your neck and pull down gently every 2 seconds about 50 to 100 times.

4. Put your hands in the live long and prosporous symbol (shaped your fingers like V with your thumb out), surround your ear between your middle finger and ring finger on both sides and pull down lightly towards the bottom of the cheak every 2 seconds 50 to 100 times.

5. Do steps 3-2-1 again.

Now you have pumped your fluids from the surface of the skin and drained your head and neck!!

Do this as many times as necessary and please share this with your family and loved ones.

2012 – the year of great change

Do you feel like you have been riding a rollercoaster?

Have you been experiencing great change in life? Relationship? Work? Career?

Are you noticing stuff within you that you want to change…. or let go of?

Well…. that is all very normal for all of us this year! It is 2012 and the pivotal point of this year is this Friday 21st December – Winter Solstice, when the sun lines up with the “plane” of the Galaxy – the actual “moment” is 12.12 precisely Ibiza time.

Some of the conversations happening in the North of Ibiza are about how time is speeding up,  the energy is becoming faster and lighter so that your “karma” ie: the thoughts that you “put out there” (or send within yourself) have a faster cause – and – affect boomerang.  This means that we have got to purifty ourselves more, become cleaner in how we think towards ourselves and others.  It is taking us more into a place of compassion, of working with others, of learning how to focus on qualities rather than points of criticism.  Yet on some points we really want to be critical – why?  Because the cleaner we get, the more old stains have been showing up!

We can no longer ignore truths about ourselves and others in our lives, no matter how painful they may be.   Many couples have gone separate ways because they know that it is eventually for the greater good, they deeply feel that this will bring them greater peace and harmony.

And to do this…. takes courage, takes strength and also has become non-optional, as we are reaching for richer, fulfilling lives, with those that complement our own unique qualities and encourage us to grow, support us through their intentions to follow our dreams.

Its as if the layers are peeling back, revealing layer after layer of beautiful qualities that maybe we never noticed before and also patterns of behaviour, uncomfortable, destructive or disruptive patterns that no longer serve us. And all why?  Because we are searching for deeper meaning…. that lasts.  We recognise that anything that we can buy or achieve brings only a temporary “high”.

We are looking to restore our connection with the space of love, of being, of GOOD genuine, authentic, real feelings.

Like plants we are all growing towards the light. Letting of the old lower energy thoughts, emotions and feelings.

Jealousy, gossiping, comparing ourselves and our lives with others is all low vibration stuff.   It brings us down in ourselves and cuts us off from the creative force of life, which is a source of endless love and growth and enabling energy.  The old ways of living, founded on pushing hard, working until we drop, taking things to far…. all in a quest for more, more, more, were egged on by the old cycles that advertised the way our lives ought to be.  Yet these sold to our needs…. which told us that we were not complete, that we did not, or could not, feel as good as the people on the telly, the magazines, the advertisements and the promotions, unless we bought their ideas, their options, their products.

The new world…. is one that we are already creating.  Because we are becoming more and more aware that we can choose the way that we think and feel.  We can choose how to be, towards ourselves and other people.  More and more of us are “remembering” that we all come from love, are made from the source of love (even if the parents were not at the time 100% aware of it).  We come from the seeds of the purest kind of love: creation.

Remember on 21st December that you ARE your life’s creator.  You were born, resourced, with everything you need to live an abundant, full and vibrant life in harmony with others and the world around you.

So lets say THANK YOU to mother earth, from where we come and we return.  Lets give thanks to each other – for sharing in this imperfect journey or learning how to love ourselves – and each other more, lets share in the feelings of connectedness, of safety to be ourselves, to live and breathe and be in unity.
