Rejuvenate Our Spirits and Looking Younger

By Juanita A. Davenport

They say that -- The largest organ in the body is the skin! -- and it's true! It's also true that men have thicker skin than women therefore feminine skin seems to age more easily than men's do because women's skin is thinner. In addition, the biggest factors that age the skin of both men and women and cause wrinkles are smoking, free radicals, and excessive sun exposure. Our inner health and wellness reflect in our skin as well.

It is a proven fact that stress is a major cause of sickness and disease. Stress may be caused by trauma in your childhood where you could not express your emotions and it has carried over into your present life. If we can reduce stress then we can improve your natural radiance and health. Just by doing a little homework you can create a healthy lifestyle.

Wrinkles can be the result of repressed rage, frustration, shame, and self-judgment about yourself, your job, your relationships (or lack of a relationship), or even the world situation cause stress at a deep level in the muscle tissue. Along that line of thinking you may see the emotional reasons for the body to accumulate wrinkles and lines in the face or even be the root cause of the disease called Fibromyalgia. Lyme disease often looks and feels like Fibromyalgia.

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.

When you connect with your inner being (the spiritual force within) you are helping establish a harmonious relationship with the feeling, health and development 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.
