Healing may really be peace,
A peace that comes to rest in the body,
that is a reflection of the
“Peace that passeth understanding”.
We see it come to the body much as peace is
Allowed to come to Earth:
A nation here and a nation there.
When we find real peace in the Earth,
We may see a state of health
Having come to all bodies.

A simple & fun way to improve your health!
Did you know you could give yourself a wonderful Lymphatic Massage right at home?
And as often as you want with a minimal cost to you!
It is so easy and you are all ready doing an aspect of it and doing it a several times a week anyways!
This is so easy and feels so good.
What you will need:
A brush for dry skin brushing
A pair of exfoliating gloves
A pure & natural soap
Coconut Oil
A bathtub or shower
Start with a dry skin brushing of your whole body. This begins to remove dead and flaky skin cells as well as stimulating the lymph and circulatory systems.
Begin your shower or bath as you normally would.
At some point put on your exfoliating gloves. They are available at most health food stores or online. I use Earth Therapeutics Exfoliating Gloves available for around $5.
I like to add some Coconut Oil Soap to the gloves. I use unscented NutriBiotic Pure Coconut Oil Soap I get from Amazon.
Now For Some Fun!
I like using the gloves because my hands and fingers are involved and I can work the more delicate areas such as the arm pit nodes, groin lymph nodes and surrounding areas, breasts, abdomen area, head, throat, etc.
Some of these areas are hard work with a loofa. Also the gloves allow you to feel your body better as well as have more control of the treatment.
Once you have your gloves on add some soap and you are ready to begin.
The general rule is to do what feels good to you. It is important to be gentle especially those tender areas such as the throat, breast, groin area, and abdomen.
Try out different strokes such as long movements up and down the limbs and then across the muscle groups. Try circular motions for the abdomen and breasts. Apply gentle massage strokes around the jaw and throat.
Do not forget your hands and feet!
The important thing is to remember that gentle and easy is better than rough and deep.
Lymphatic Massage does not need to be deep to be effective.
The massage movement stimulates deeper inner body movement!
When you have massaged as much of your body as you can reach you can take off the gloves. If you have a back scrubber this makes getting to the back areas much easier.
Finish your bath or shower as you normally would.
Pat yourself dry and then rub coconut oil all over. You do not need much to be effective!
Coconut oil is such a healthy addition to our lives.
Internally it does so much good. We will be talking about using coconut oil and its benefits internally in an upcoming newsletter.
Externally it is a wonderful oil. It helps to reduce winkles and well as replacing oils to the skin cells to help you look younger and feel and look more radiant.
Adding this practice to your health regime is going to help you feel so much more alive and rejuvenated.
