Holistic Skin
Many people look at their skin as just a canvas to
decorate with make-up and clothing without realizing it
is so much more. Our skin is a primary detoxification
organ as well as a reflection of our physical, mental and
emotional harmony. It functions as a covering for the
entire body as the first line of defense to prevent
microorganisms and other substances, such as heavy
metals and germs, from entering. When our skin reflects
signs of beauty, such as clarity, softness, and firmness
it lets us know that our internal organs are working
efficiently. If our skin reflects blemishes, sallowness, or
fatigue it lets us know our inner organs, emotions or
energy is not in harmony and may need attention.
When we are going through emotional or mental stress
or tension our skin will reflect this by displaying a dull,
fatigued or blemished appearance. There is no
separation betwen our thoughts, emotions and our
physical body. They are all made up of energy, and
when there is a deficient flow of energy running
through the body our skin will tell us. When we have a
free and even distribution of energy harmoniously
flowing throughout the body we can recharge our
fatigue, it is our fountain of youth, and it enhances our
health. Best of all it is availabe to all of us. In Jin Shin
Jyutsu it is recommended that if we hold our thumb it
can aid in digestion. This can help us to assimilate and
eliminate toxins from our body, physically, mentally or
emotionally. If we hold our ring finger, we harmonize
energy flowing through the lungs and large intestines.
This means we can improve our intake of oxygen to the
blood stream and elimination of carbon dioxide, which
can improve our skin's appearance, especiall skin with
projects such as acne. Regular sessions of energy work
can be as vital to our overall health as regular check
up's, facials, dental visits, or eye exams.
