A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON OUR ENERGY CENTERS/ CHAKRAS AND COLOR

At the core of our bodies there are 7 energy centers or "chakras" that receive and transmit light energy. Our chakras are associated with our physical, mental, and emotional well being. Each chakra vibrates at a specific frequency that, when measured, matches the exact frequency or vibration of the color associated to that chakra. When you are tired these emotional centers become depleted and your body begins to crave balance and color associated with that chakra. Here is a brief look at how the color choices you make can have a measurable impact on how people perceive us and how we perceive ourselves.

White ( crown chakra - top of the head) White is the color of enlightenment. It is is your connection to your self, to your spiritual center.

Indigo ( Third eye chakra- center of forehead) This is your third eye and is associated with your intuition and perception.

Blue (Throat Chakra-Throat) Speak the truth, this is associated with communication and how we express ourselves. The throat chakra is also tied to creativity.

Green ( Heart Chakra) Responsible for your love and compassion and your immune system. Pink is also a color related to the heart chakra and represents love, laughter and promotes healing.

Yellow (Solar Plexus Chakra) Just below the rib cage. This is where you cultivate abundance, courage and self-esteem.

Working from the inside out by improving your complexion with balancing foods

Eating foods that comes from "clean" sources helps reduce our intake of toxins-

Every day the skin is bombarded with oxidative stress from processed foods, environmental toxins and UV rays along with other environmental aggressors. The end result is premature aging and hyperpigmentation.

Antioxidant rich foods that help restore the skin include: Red and black currants, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate and sesame seeds. Grapes and red wine contain resveratrol - a super antioxidant with strong anti aging properties. Veggies like spinach and kale contain lutein, ( an antioxidant) that helps to hydrate the skin. Yellow and Orange root veggies including carrots, sweet potatoes pumpkins and squash are rich in beta-carotene. Honey is very rich in antioxidants!

To improve any complexion we need to consume food that helps balance our bodies from the inside out.

Raw Chocolate in a facial? Yes with fantastic results!

Studies have shown that chocolate in its purest form does indeed have health benefits. Its antioxidants help protect the skin from free radicals. Chocolate also contains stimulants such as caffeine and theobromide that enhance the circulatory system; therefore promoting skin firming and restoring its glow. It also increases the levels of serotonin and phenylethylamine, which act as natural mood elevators.
