Self-Care Practices for Protective Energy and Rejuvenation
Anne-Caroline guided the group through a series of self-care practices to help strengthen their protective energy, or "Chi," and wake up their bodies. The practices included knocking on the doors of their bodies, massaging the long marriage meridian, and gently tapping on the face and neck. Anne-Caroline also emphasized the importance of using high-quality flower water or oil, such as blue lotus and rose duet, for rejuvenation and antioxidant benefits. She encouraged the group to use these practices to start their day and to relax the neck, a thin muscle called the Platysma.
Chinese Face Reflexology Techniques for Emotional Tension Relief
Anne-Caroline discussed various techniques of Chinese face reflexology and acupressure for managing grief and emotional tension. She demonstrated how to use the Chow line, a specific point on the face, to alleviate tension and reduce stress. She also highlighted the importance of the stomach meridian and encouraged participants to practice massage techniques on their own faces. Anne-Caroline emphasized the benefits of these practices, especially for those who frequently clench their teeth.
Acupressure and Face Yoga Techniques Demonstrated
Anne-Caroline demonstrated acupressure points and face yoga techniques. She showed a point called "welcome fragrance" that helps prevent nasal congestion and promotes openness to new experiences. Another technique involved massaging the inner corner of the eye, which is relaxing and helps release tension. Anne-Caroline also mentioned that a tendency towards dry skin could indicate a metal imbalance.
Minimalist Lymphatic Massage and Japanese Forest Blend for Detoxification
Anne-Caroline demonstrated a minimalist lymphatic drainage massage to support good skin health and aid in detoxification. She emphasized the importance of the massage being slow and light. She also introduced a Japanese forest blend for the fall season, which is beneficial for strengthening the metal element. Additionally, Anne-Caroline and Dianne discussed the importance of the ' Lung 7' acupuncture point for grief processing and clearing the lungs. Dianne showed how to locate Lung 7 on the thumb side of the wrist and how to use the Shinrin Yoku oil in conjunction with the point for enhanced benefits.
Acupressure and Essential Oils for Self-Care
Anne-Caroline and Dianne discussed the practice of using acupressure and essential oils for self-care and emotional release. They explained how to locate specific acupressure points, the use of a pointer finger to sense the 'Chi', and the importance of allowing the 'Chi' of the oil to meet the 'Chi' of the point. They also recommended keeping a roll-on essential oil with you for moments when you need to let go of something. Anne-Caroline emphasized the importance of having a personal story or affirmation while doing self-care practices, which can enhance their efficiency. Dianne added techniques for finding the acupressure points and highlighted the relationship between the lung and kidney points. Finally, Anne-Caroline led the group in a guided meditation to close the self-care tool, inviting participants to share any words or images that came to mind.
