Break Free from the Burnout: Release Your Harmful Energetic Patterns

Rituals go back to ancient human history. Many of these have transcended culture and religion. The purposes of habits and ritual includes having a reminder of what you are doing, the symbolic connection and develop an automatic way to remember it. No energy depleting decision making is required.

Rituals are ways to circumvent decision making for doing the steps to making you feel better, more productive and creative. https://www.scientifichealersuniversity.com/download-your-travel-tips

What is the purpose of rituals and how far back do they go?

Rituals go back to ancient human history. Many of these have transcended culture and religion. The purposes of habits and ritual include having a reminder of what you are doing, the symbolic connection and develop an automatic way to remember it. No energy depleting decision making is required. This is what morning rituals do for you.

One of these is the use of a cake of sorts (called koliva) in memorial services, a tradition that goes back more than 5000 years, well beyond the beginnings of Christianity. In fact, it goes back to the Gods and Goddesses of Greece.

This content starts at 1:54 and finishes at 5:12, but it is an amazing part of our Greek Orthodox ritualistic history. It is used today in modern services: this is an image taken a year ago from a service for my mom and grandmother, showing the koliva that I describe in this broadcast.

 

This koliva on the table is made of wheat, sesame seeds, almonds, ground walnuts, cinnamon, sugar, pomegranate seeds, raisins, anise and parsley. Each ingredient has a special meaning associating with Demeter, the sweetness of life, and everlasting life.

How do rituals start?

Rituals develop by first starting a procedure, then it becomes a habit, until it becomes a necessary part of your life. Later in the broadcast, you hear about some of the different practices and some of the things I do to get my day going. These include getting up with a thought of gratitude, breathing deeply, exercise, and a healthy breakfast.

Some of these rituals are also part of my travel itinerary that you can read about when you download my 18 travel tips. Most highly productive and successful humans, whether entrepreneur, executive or academic have morning rituals that get them on the right track every morning. Millionaires and billionaires count amongst these.

The results of having a set of morning habits include mental clarity, productivity, and preservation of your energy from decision making. Once you get one set of rituals done, it brings you a feeling of accomplishment that breeds more accomplishment.

And think about what rituals you might start to get your day going right One of these include travel tips that have developed into rituals for me: https://www.scientifichealersuniversity.com/download-your-travel-tips

Standout Quotes:

•  "A ritual is designed to be a repetitive behavior, to remind you of something."
•  “Every decision you make is an energy suck.”
•  “I discovered that when I didn't do it, I didn't feel as good even though it felt good to kind of be lazy sometimes.”

After a relationship energy healing, you are always in danger of being reinfected with the same low energy feelings and ties that brought you unhappiness in the first place (https://scientifichealer.com/relationship).

You’ve probably spent years in old bad habits with regard to your relationships. Discover how to break those bad habits fast. 

One of mine was being defensive and thus setting up an adversarial relationship out of every relationship. This based on the long years of relentless criticism I received as a young child that I carried into adulthood with my significant other relationships. Interestingly, I did not allow this in my friendships but the tendency was nonetheless there. What about you? Do you have habits like this?

Once I recognized this habit, I could release the blame because I played a part in the interaction as much as the other did.

Releasing the blame is the first major step in letting go of old habits and allowing something new and a great deal healthier to replace this. It doesn’t mean that you will never go back to old habits. Old habits tend to be the place where you retreat when things get sticky with others.

An energy healing of your relationship to key people will facilitate in releasing the old energetic connections and old patterns you learned as a child in this lifetime and maybe others. The free five-step program is a first step to healing your issues with a key caregiver when you were younger (or even partner. However, I will add that your behavior with partners will mimic behavior with other significant people in your life.)

 

After releasing blame, do these tips to help stop the energy pattern of dysfunction

The second thing that is most helpful is to cut the cords to the thoughts you keep having over and over, the angry upset and outraged ones. Let them go but cutting them from your thoughts and dropping them into the earth. This is a very powerful energetic release and works instantly for a lot of people. What it does is bring you out of the past and into the present. Those hurt feelings are long over.

Next, you can use your grounding cord, the one that drops off the base of your spine into the Earth. Use it to drop all those dark and low energy emotions off to bring you again into the present. Many times, those that have upset you are still doing the same things that drove you crazy in the first place.

Many times, people don’t realize that this person does this particular behavior to everyone around them, not just you. One of my female science professor friends thought that a colleague was picking on her particularly because of her gender. It turned out, he did it to all the young male professors in their department as well.

How long you stay stuck in those old pattern is up to you

You can use a guided meditation to bring you into the present moment and away from the past hurts. Two great ones for doing that (they are both under 15 min and do your energy hygiene for you as well include: https://scientifichealer.com/wakeupbrain and https://scientifichealer.com/emotional.

Using these simple tools can help you break long years of bad energy habits when it comes to behaviors between you and others. The releasing blame also applies to you. You were young and didn’t know how to do this.

The bonus tip is to start stepping back and observing what is happening around you, especially when you see the person that upset you so much do this to others. Watch what happens an

 2/3 of Americans are suffering from adrenal insufficiency due to stress and overwhelm. Get your energy tips here. https://scientifichealer.com/wakeupbrain

Adrenal insufficiency leads to lack of restful sleep, wooziness when standing up, tiredness, and inability to wake up with your old energy. The longer it goes on, it leads to other glands and organs being overtaxed and failing.

What happens if you ignore the stress?

The problem with ignoring the stress and keeping on going is that your body has redundant systems and once one is used up, then it starts overtaxing the next. After; your adrenal glands, comes the liver, another energy organ. After that, the thyroid starts kicking into overdrive. On top of that, environmental and food toxins tax your precious energy organs further. Using adaptogens helps here to a certain extent.

Furthermore, while you are stressed, your body is in the sympathetic system, which tears your body down. Healing doesn’t happen and the rest of your body weakens, including your immune system. As long as your body is pumping out stress hormones, your body doesn’t rest or heal properly, and you’re subject to burnout and reduced productivity. It’s another reason stress kills.

Which parts of your body need immediate attention?

After working with thousands of people, the other two systems most affected are your thyroid and your liver. These are what I heal the most to help people feeling better, getting their energy back and feeling like their younger selves again. Liver support might include milk thistle and doing a detox. Thyroid support includes getting enough iodine (seaweed) and taking extra tyrosine: recommended dose to try – 1 gm 30 min before breakfast: You’ll know you need it if you feel better in two to 3 days.  Supports brain function (dopamine precursor) and thyroid function. https://amzn.to/3blBweh

Here are 5 tips from preventing burnouts and energy crashing:

You’ll hear about 5 tips for helping heal your adrenal glands, bringing them back to their youthful state. You’ll stop needing stimulants like coffee, regular tea, energy drinks, and colas. This includes a one minute breathing break, something you can do any time and any where. The problem with this is you have to remember to do it, which is much harder than actually doing it.

You can also download the 11 minute wake up your brain audio, that really takes you in a relaxation state very quickly, calms your adrenals fast, lowers your blood pressure, and brings your mind to clarity. Italso boosts productivity and does the energy hygiene for you. Https://scientifichealer.com/wakeupbrain Your mind will eventually rewire to a calmer state, something research shows you

Keep your blood sugar stable by reducing your consumption of white foods. It keeps your blood sugars from soaring then crashing. Add healthy fats to allow digestion to slow. Make sure you drink 2 to 4 quarts of water daily. And last make sure you get sleep before midnight, which is when you sleep the deepest. Last, use adaptogens early in the day. Here are some that really help!

Three adaptogens I use frequently that really help:

1. ginseng: Eleuthero, mornings https://amzn.to/2Vre7kQ

2. ashwaganda – helps adrenals – https://amzn.to/2Voa2xG  mornings (and evenings if really stressed): one of best adrenal supports

3. maca root powder (I put it in shakes) https://amzn.to/2V6XDPC, you can get pill form too.

There are many different kinds of clearing and healings that are explained in this broadcast. You will also hear of examples of how this might affect you, especially if you have that one or more difficult relationship you haven't been able to solve or move past a stopping point. The energetic clearings ease the path to moving beyond the block.

Discover the 11 energetic ways you connect to others and energetic clearings keep these connections healthy so you can have the best relationships ever. https://scientifichealer.com/relationship

Holidays good time of year to examine your relationships more closely, because of the fallout often experienced during family get togethers during the holidays, even if you’re not having them. You often recall painful memories which keep you stuck in the past.

Listen in to hear of the ways your connections can be energetically cleared quickly

There are many different kinds of clearing and healings that are explained in this broadcast. You will also hear of examples of how this might affect you, especially if you have that one or more difficult relationship you haven’t been able to solve or move past a stopping point. The energetic clearings ease the path to moving beyond the block. The free relationship healing gives you part of what’s needed to keep your relationships healthy for years to come.

First, you exchange energy by a variety of ways. That includes conversation, sharing a meal, a hug, personal touch, a look, any way you connect meaningfully with others. There are also those that take your energy because they think that is the way things are done. They didn’t learn that they have their own infinite source.

Energy balance between people is key to healthy relationships

 

The person giving over the most energy in an exchange will find that after a while, they will feel depleted. In conversation, that’s the person who gives up the most information. Even extroverts that thrive on human contact will end up depleted unless they are skilled at drawing out the other and having them give up information instead.

We connect with our fields, lines of energy, thought exchange, emotional connection, through your DNA, past lives, and more. Each connection can be cleared energetically so that relationship is satisfying and healthy. It only requires the healing of one person in a relationship and this shifts.

You can go through a small program that covers some of these connection with homework. As you do the exercises, you will likely discover new insights about yourself and your relationships: https://scientifichealer.com/relationship

Standout Quotes:

•  “The criticism needs to be balanced with praise."
•  “Your timeline is the life path that your soul takes through lifetimes.”
•  “You can have everything else the same, but community is the big difference.”

Key Takeaways:

•  A relationship can not only affect your heart and your livelihood and how you feel about yourself, but it can also affect how much money you're earning, and it can affect your health.
•  Having especially a one on one conversation with somebody, you are exchanging energy with them,every interaction exchanges energy.
•  When you are confronted with a difficult scenario, your spirit is intended to animate your complete body from head to toe, begins to withdraw from some areas of your body. What occurs is that your body disembodies totally, wh

Research at Harvard pointed out your long term health is more dependent on your social connections, your support system, consisting of family, friends and community. When these are beneficial to you, they can be more important than adequate sleep, good nutrition and not smoking.

Of the eight most important factors to keeping you healthy and happy, your relationships are the number 1 factor.  https://scientifichealer.com/relationship The others include in the following order career, creative expression, spirituality, financial health, sexual health, mental and emotional health and physical health.  All must be attended to.  

Research at Harvard pointed out your long term health is more dependent on your social connections, your support system, consisting of family, friends and community.  When these are beneficial to you, they can be more important than adequate sleep, good nutrition and not smoking.  That’s a lot coming from one of the top medical schools in the country.

Research bears out that longevity is greatly improved with great relationships

Conversely, a lack of social ties leads to depression, cognitive decline later in life and premature death. One study, which examined data from more than 309,000 people, found that lack of strong relationships increased the risk of premature death from all causes by 50% — an effect on mortality risk roughly comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and greater than obesity and physical inactivity.

Their premise is that great social connections relieve harmful levels of stress, all of which are contributory to illness and prematurely aging.

Speaking of stress levels.  Another study examined the stress levels and successful relationships.  Not all relationships are successful and we’ll get to how to help those in a moment.  This study examined the levels of stress in the first year of marriage as predictors to long term success and health of the marriage and people in it.  

If stress levels were high during the expected disagreements in the first year of a relationship as measured by the adrenal hormones

Study of newlyweds, stresses during arguments that produced the greatest number of stress hormones predicted the happiness ten years later, and the strength of their immune systems.  Those that were highest were likeliest to get divorced.  these correlate: greater stress hormones= lower immune systems, shorter lives, less happiness.

Studies at UCLA show that these successful relationships alter your genetic code, known as the epigenetic response, positively.  In other words, you become less prone to illness and disease.  Your illness genes are switched off.  

Conversely, in unsuccessful, meaning stressful relationships, your genetic code becomes altered into a negative pattern.  That is one in which your genes are switched on for diseases.  

Even more interesting in another UCLA study, is how your relationship to yourself can alter your genes in much the same way.  you can look at it as your relationship to yourself.  

 What path did you choose for yourself. 

One in which you seek pleasure and avoid pain?  Or does your life have a deeper fulfilling purpose. 

Both people reported the same level of positive emotions but their genomes said otherwise.   Those with the deeper fulfilling purpose showed favorable gene expression in their immune systems while those that were what they termed hedonistic showed and adverse genetic profile in their immune system.  

This is an interesting development when it comes to energy, it’s as if the subconscious knows your life has little purpose and choses to end it early.  

What can be done to help those rela

Discover how to protect yourself from distant and near field interactions with others (and exactly what they are) so you can improve your immune system.

We humans are designed to interact with others.  Our biology is designed to pick up on emotions and even thoughts of others.  It is how we stay connected to one another and how we propagate the species. Get your free relationship healing program: https://scientifichealer.com/relationship

This connection energy is beyond what meets the eyes. Some of us are keenly sensitive to these energies, you call them over-sensitive, empaths, and even crazy.  The thing is that instruments are just now beginning to detect the energy flow between one another, something that we knew all along.

The current events have made it really hard for many of us to stay upbeat.  In the first month or so of the lockdown, I felt utterly dragged down by things although my life had not changed substantially.  The only big difference was our weekly shopping habits.  Otherwise, it was totally similar.  The difference was absorbing the group thinking that has been happening across the country.

There are two types of connections we form with others: near field connections, which means you have to be in the presence of other  to feel them.  And long distance interactions, meaning that the person could be in the next city, state, country or continent and you still feel them.

In near field interactions, that is usually with our friends and family members, it is the energy field around you that interacts with them.  But if you are out shopping, traveling or in a classroom with other people, you are also susceptible to foreign near field interactions. 

These type of interactions develop from the energy field surrounding your body to that of others.  Just like when you have a below par functioning immune system, the condition and size of your field can leave you susceptible to the thoughts and emotions of others.  Most people have negative thoughts all day long, of all the way things go wrong.  This is an obsolete way of thinking when we as humans in the not too distant past had to think that way to survive.  

Here are the ways you become susceptible to those grumpy, fearful thoughts: 

1. You are in one of those funks yourself, it’s like eating white food and trying to stay healthy.  There  is nothing nutritive about it.  To keep your energy field edges strong and intact, upbeat thoughts and emotions play a strong role.  It’s like saying yes to yourself over and over again.  You can physically lift more weight or run faster in this up-beat state.
2. Second is if you give away or power too often or too easily.  What this means is that you are allowing others to make your adult decisions for you.  This leaves gaps and holes in your energy field allowing others an easy way in,
3. Third is if you are off center in a way that you want to fill a room with yourself.  This kind of thinking is borne of insecurity, worried that the people around you don’t think highly enough of you.  It’s like keeping tabs on everyone.  If you grew up in a dysfunctional household and have to keep an eye on things for fear of getting in trouble.  When you are younger, it is a survival strategy.  When you are an adult yourself, it stretches and expands your energy field all over the place allowing you to pick up other people’s uncomfortable thoguhts.  

In all three cases, the result is similar, You are absorbing thoughts and energies that are not your own.  You could call this not having healthy boundaries

How to have a healthy boundary.

Learn the difference between being centered and being grounded. The first is a powerful step to getting to a mentally healthier place, while grounding clears up your overloaded emotions once you're caught up in an emotional maelstrom.

In this broadcast, you'll hear the difference between being centered and being grounded, not the same things.  The following healing audio does both for you quickly: https://scientifichealer.com/emotional See timeline below.

In today's current climate, I hear of people giving up hope. Even in newspapers, they are saying it’s too late, illness has overtaken us. We hear of new tragedies every day. The news is putting it in our faces all the time, That our country is being overrun by the coronavirus. It has changed complexion now, it is hitting hard in the whole Southeast of the country. The Midwest and West are doing better. Taking precautions is the best we can all do right now, and basically stop the anger and fighting. This is really what today’s broadcast is about.

From today forward, boosting your immune system is moving into the energetic realm. Energy is really everything, even all those previous eleven steps I mentioned. Every step you take towards keeping you healthy is telling all your cells that’s what you want. It really changes your prospects of getting healthier. Giving up hope is the first step to having problems.

The two things I’m focusing on today is being centered and being grounded. These are two different things, let me focus on the first, as it is a powerful first step in getting you to a mentally healthier place. The second clears up your overloaded emotions once you’re caught up in the emotional maelstrom.

Nothing in your life is so debilitating as being off center. 

There is a very clear reason for it.  Centeredness is a state of mind that changes the energy of your entire body, how it is fed, animated, and your anxiety or stress level.  

Centeredness means you view the world from your own point of view, rather than how others are making you react.  

Anytime you are feeling fear, guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, and other low energy emotions, your world view is from the outside in.  Not that you can’t feel those things.  It’s part of the human condition.  You feel those things as part of a warning system to tell you what’s next to resolve that issue.  

An example of being pulled off center.  You are going on a trip and are in a hurry to pack, rather than doing it consciously, so you know what you put in your suitcase.   Then you are late to the airport, and you think of things you didn’t pack, then you’re distracted the whole time to the airport on how you are going to manage your trip without them.  

This is only a small thing, but like this small thing, the way you do one thing is the way you do everything.  

When you have an argument with someone, how long do your thoughts linger on it.  When someone cuts you off on the freeway, when someone breaks your favorite thing.  

All those things can really pull you off your center.  The way it looks energetically is that the thing that is you, your spirit, is pulled up out of your body.  Your thoughts are elsewhere, so you go elsewhere.  

There is an easy way to counteract this, it’s to bring yourself down into your body every morning.  When you sleep, you slip up out of your body often.  Your dreams can take you there, your worried thoughts as you fall asleep.  By bringing yourself back to centeredness every morning or even several times a day, you can really help bring yourself into the current moment.  

I did this long ago when I was in a bad place.  I asked myself every time I felt panic, if I

These 5 foods and 5 supplements don't just increase the general health of your body but improve many important aspects of your immune system.

Simple and inexpensive solutions to helping your immune system function better.  

So far, you’ve heard about a variety of topics from me about the various glands, organs and systems that help protect you from pathogens and foreign invaders.  This is the last of the practical or things you can do for yourself.  I’ve talked about reducing the emotional stress, environmental toxins, consumed toxins, and lifestyle changes.  Today Im going to talk about foods you can ingest that will improve your immunity sometimes dramatically.   

Why practical steps first rather than energy healing.  

Question: Can you run faster uphill or downhill?  By doing all the practical lifestyle changes to help your immune system, it’s like adjusting your personal ramp to a downhill slope. It just makes energy healing much more effective and it takes less of it to achieve your best results.   For example, the results people I’ve worked with improve dramatically each time they take on a healthier lifestyle, even if it is just to meditate for ten minutes a day.  

5 Foods That Actually Change Your Immune Response

These foods and supplements don’t just increase the general health of your body but improve many important aspects of your immune system.  As I’ve mentioned before, your immunity is found in all cells of your body.  For example, the way it detects virus infected cells is that your body has an editing process that destroys the cells that are replicating in the wrong way.  In order to keep up with things like cancer, colds, flus, and other virus issues is to keep your immune system supercharged.  Here are some of the ways you can do it.

 1. Bitter flavors – bacterial and fungal pathogens, exude a bitter flavor in flavor receptors not just on the tongue but in the esophagus, lungs, sinuses and stomach.  The bitter flavors set a chain of biochemical reactions in place that supercharge the immune system.  Studies have shown that those that eat bitter foods have activated immune systems and are sick less often. 

These bitter foods include grapefruit, arugula, radicchio, cranberry, dandelion greens and curly kale.  If you are a supertaster, meaning you are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors (2% of the population), then most green food is bitter including broccoli, most lettuces, brussel sprouts,  even asparagus.  You are luckier than most as your immune system is always supercharged to fight bacteria.

2.  Vitamin C –  You’ve heard people speak of vitamin C but you probably don’t know why.  It increases production of your white blood cells.  It’s better to eat the foods containing them, like strawberries, all citrus, tomatoes, bell peppers, and leafy greens, than to eat the supplements.  Even better is to do both, have your vitamin C supplements with healthy produce. 1 to 2 gm a day, and those under a lot of stress need more, up to 3 gm a day, like marathon runner. https://amzn.to/3hDMajt

3. Garlic contains an organo-sulfur compound called allicin which stimulates certain immune cell types, such as macrophages, lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils.  These are used to surround pathogens and help move them out of the body.  

4. Ginger reduces inflammation, which is a great support to the immune system, keeps it from being on all the time and wearing out.  It also reduces pain and is rich in antioxidants.

Turmeric

5.  Curc

How to release your “negative” emotions to empower you and your immune system.  Get your guided healing audio to do that here: https://scientifichealer.com/emotional

Ever noticed that when you go into a room full of happy people, you start feeling happy?  How about if you go into a room of people arguing?  Don’t you start to get irritated?  

It’s kind of like mob mentality, people pick up on the emotions the others are feeling.  With today’s issues, first starting with the fear and anxiety of the pandemic, a lot of people declared that they were feeling anxious too. 

These emotions run hot but are low energy and really bring your energy down.

Human emotions can be divided in four basic categories.  Everything else is a nuance or mixture of the four,  much as all colors we perceive are mixtures of three basic colors plus lightness/darkness.  These four basic emotions are fear, happiness, sadness, and anger.  I find them easy to remember as mad, sad, glad, and fear.  

Nuances of fear emotions are anxiety, dread, worry, insecurity, terror, and nervousness, of anger emotions: bitterness, guilt, hatred, resentment, and jealousy, and of sad emotions: grief, discouragement, sorrow, sadness, depression, heartache, and feeling forlorn.  This is by no means and exhaustive list.

On any one day, we have a range of emotions.  We were made to have them, the negative emotions serve as protection and impetus for change.  Any time you experience emotional pain, you’ll seek to move out of it. 

How we pick up each other’s emotions:

Each emotion has its own frequency so to speak.  Just like two tuning forks attuned to the same frequency, when one is rung, the other will vibrate in resonance.  That’s what a mob does, they start vibrating together.  A party makes a happy mob, while a protest is angry.

As soon as you change the emotions that vibrate in your body, you alter who is around you and even your fate.  You will attract people similar to you.  You will repel those that don’t want to deal with your emotions because basically, you wear them, no matter if you feel positively or negatively.  You would think that positive people would attract everyone, but they don’t.  Haven’t you ever heard the term “Pollyana” behavior as if it were derogatory or wrong?  

All low vibrating emotions hurt us if they stay in your long term.   

You could ask, “why do we have those negative emotions if they’re harmful to us?”  The dark emotions such as fear, anger, and sorrow do bring our energies down because they consume us.  They are actually meant to protect us and propel us to change.  In reality, you feel them temporarily and are not part of your basic makeup.  They do not reflect who you are, only who you are being at the moment. 

How you store or trap emotions in your body.

No one wants to be feeling the low energy emotions.  Some of us tend to bury them somewhere so we can move forward without acknowledging them.  We stuff them somewhere in our bodies to avoid feeling the discomfort.  Fear is to help us survive in dangerous situations.  Anger for us to realize when our boundaries have been crossed.  And sorrow to slow us down to accept a loss.   

Most of us do not take the time to recuperate, to process them, and go back to nature and self-care.  We try to keep going, keep functioning, and keep doing what we’ve always done.  

It happens like this: When you first encounter something, your first reaction is an emotion, then the thoughts follow.  You start thinking of the reasons you’ve had that emotion and its intensity, filling in a full story.

 What is your skin?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body.  It is your connection to the outside world, tactically, emotionally, and spiritually.  It is also a major protection to that world.  It keeps bacteria out and most other compounds except small molecules like water or solvents like acetone.  

There are things you should be careful of what you put on your skin as I mentioned before in avoiding skin toxins like methylparabens or sodium lauryl  sulfate.  

Functions of the skin

Your skin is the primary protection that keeps germs out of your body and just below the surface, your white blood cells fend off the germs.   It also expresses impurities through sweat, so is a major detoxing organ. 

Sweat serves to cool the body.  You need to evaporatively cool your body due to metabolism, either through your respiration or through perspiration.  You can perspire up to 8 quarts of water per day, depending on the temperature and amount of activity. 

If you did not sweat or exhale moisture, your body temperature would raise by about 25 degrees F in one day!  It’s that important for keeping you cool.  

Structure of the skin

There are three main layers of the skin:

• The epidermis is the sealed outer covering, a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone with melanin.  
• The dermis contains the tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands.  Collagen is the most abundant protein in the skin, comprising 75 to 80% of the organ.  
• The deeper subcutaneous tissues, also called hypodermis, is made of fat and connective tissues.  It’s where most of your excess fat resides.  Considering this, adding excess fat could mean that you are building a protective layer for yourself to the outside world. 

The layers of the skin are subdivided into further layers but for the intents and purposes of understanding the skin, three layers are enough.

Today, I’m going to take about other ways to care for your skin.  You probably didn’t realize how complex it is, like many of your other systems in your body.  It reflects what is going on inside the body emotionally, physically and spiritually.

It needs to function well for you to be healthy. It also should look good : If your skin is sallow, lacking moisture, vitality, have dark circles under your eyes, or are prematurely wrinkled, then you can imagine that there are problems on the inside of your body.  

Skin expresses emotions

Skin expresses emotions detectable by others through pallor, coldness, “goose bumps”, redness, warmth, or sweating. 

In fact, there has been scientific (psychologic) evidence of how your skin disorders reflect the emotional and spiritual position of the person suffering them.  Persons with visible skin disorders have often been stigmatized or treated as outcasts.  Or those suffering them have taken themselves out of contact with others from shame or embarrassment.  

One of the themes that comes up often with those
