Take about four to six
deep breaths - in through the nose, slowly, hold and slowly out through
the mouth. This helps to calm and centre you. It lowers our blood
pressure and re-oxygenates our body. Five or ten minutes of deep
breathing is all it takes to relax us.
Run a bath, with some lavender
or rosemary essential oil, turn off the lights and light a few candles.
Place some soft soothing music on. Lie back in the bath and listen for
the sounds of your heart beating. Do some deep breathing and enjoy.
When did you last have a massage
or facial - you can even give yourself a lovely facial made from things
around the kitchen. Rolled oats, honey, egg yolk & kiwi fruit
make a lovely face mask, egg white beaten makes a nice toner (leave on
till stiff then wipe off) orange juice is a lovely natural toner.
Make your own hand cream (see my aromatherapy page)
