Rejuvenate Our Spirits and Looking Younger

By Juanita A. Davenport

The largest organ in the body is the skin! Women's skin seems to age more easily than men's do because women's skin is thinner. The biggest factor that ages the skin and causes wrinkles are smoking, free radicals, and excess sun damage. By nourishing the skin, as well as our mind and spirit, we can reverse the sands of time, and turn the clock back on aging.

University studies have proven the fact that stress is a major cause of sickness and disease. Trauma in your childhood also causes stress. Because you could not express your true emotions in your childhood, the anxiety may have been carried over into your present life. When we can reduce stress and anxiety accordingly, we can improve our natural radiance and health.

For example: repressed anger, stress, frustration, blaming others, and harsh judgments about your employment, your sexual relationships (or lack of a relationship), or even the world situation cause stress at a deep level in the muscle tissue. With this in mind you may see the emotional reason for the body to increase wrinkles and lines in the face or even identity the beginnings of the disease called Fibromyalgia. People with Fibromyalgia have 11 to 18 identifying painful points in different muscle areas.

Going within through meditation helps release stress. Exercise, therapy, and Reiki energy clearing can also help you relieve stress. Most people have heard about Transcendental Meditation. It is commonly called "TM" and its practice has given notably positive results in some peoples' outward appearance, well-being, health, and longevity.

Anytime you connect with your inner being (your higher self) you are helping establish a sweet relationship with the health and appearance of your body.

One of the most important health practices is getting a complete night's sleep. The needed 7 to 8 hours of sleep is essential to beauty and good health. Count the hours that you have in bed - eight hours are best. See if you can go to bed at the same time every night. When you have to get up early try to go to bed earlier the night before. In the morning you will feel much fresher.

When you eat organic fresh foods that you prepare yourself you are working with the body in a joint effort to increase better health. Partly cooked food contains more enzymes and life force energy than overly cooked or processed food. Giving the body the correct "fuel" will help you start looking younger and stay youthful.

There are so many simple, easy methods you can practice that will restore and revitalize you. Rejuvenating our spirits and looking younger will bring the glow back into your day. - 16036
