how is your sleep? how is your menstrual cycle? how is your skin? how is your digestion? what is your body trying to tell you?... END THE HUNT TREAT THE SYMPTOM The doctor just treats your symptoms, I treat the cause . This is one of the most misleading and inaccurate lines I hear all the time from healers and therapists. It’s problematic because it leads people to believe in (and to seek) one single cause for the ill-ness they are experiencing. . This is counterproductive because as the ancient Chinese would attest it is IMPOSSIBLE to pin-point the cause of any given disharmony. There are multiple factors which contribute at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels which manifest in utterly individualised imbalance. . To analyse the possibilities may offer some mental satisfaction but ultimately it is an endless hunt. Most people I encounter are exhausted by it and no closer to improving their health. . But all is not lost. In fact, if you are willing to #freeyourself from the victimhood and the fear of dis-ease you’ll realise that all the body is doing is speaking to you. And that nobody else can hear it as well as you can. . Whispering at first and shouting if required. It’s messages are physical / emotional sensations. . When you turn your attention to the symptoms that bother you today and take measures to treat them you change the whole game. You FEEL the body is not working against you but offering everything in your favour. . And if you have a simple framework to work with (something like DCZ) you’ll know exactly what to do to care for yourself effectively in response to each clue. These words are never more true than they are now as we head toward the busy holiday season. Give yourself the gift of listening and the tools to respond to your body's messages. Book in for your DCZ Italian Facial Reflexology session and start your 28 day challenge. All the tools you need are already in your hands.

DIEN CHAN ZONE FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY This beautiful offering is available at Daya spa. If you have yet to check it out or are curious about what messages your body is sending you and how you can work with them, book in a treatment to discover more. L I S T E N I N G T O Y O U R B O D Y .... Natural medicines are the ever more popular choice. With so many complex and systemic disorders on the rise we are forced to seek an alternative to the allopathic measures we grew up with. . That said, I meet women every day who are lost in this new terrain overwhelmed with choices and not always benefiting wholly from the transition. . They may be following all the experts, reading all the books, drinking the recommended juice each morning and stocking up on the most exclusive supplements but many aren’t getting the RESULTS they need. . Here’s what’s missing an awareness of the body! We’ve been conditioned to seek diagnosis from our doctor and to follow the advice of someone who is well studied. But the truth of the matter is nobody knows what you need right now better than YOU. . Not the mental you, not the frazzled mind which is over-flowing the you that you’ve been trained to ignore. . The cells of your body are more intelligent than you can ever fathom. They are speaking to you all day long, but do you know how to listen? . Dien Chan Zone puts you into conversation with that intelligence by hacking your nervous system in response to the laser focused messages we call SYMPTOMS. And the results speak for themselves. . It is time to enhance your senses, build your body-awareness and participate in your healthcare >>> commence exploration with a FREE e-book when you subscribe at link in bio @mirrormedicine . .#selfcare #selfagency #intuitiveintelligence #dienchanzone #knowthyself #healthyself #buildawareness #youarethehealer photo credit to Alexandra Ross Acupunture

During the 18th century in Western Europe full eyebrows were considered so essential to facial beauty that some upper-class women and courtiers would affix mouse hide to their foreheads. Thankfully we no longer have to go to such extremes but eyebrows still have the same importance aesthetically and emotionally. We always hear the expression the eyes are the windows of the soul. This is true, but they are complemented by the eyebrows, which frame the eyes and the face, giv...ing us different unique characteristics, personality and expressions. Eyebrows have a great impact on self-esteem and a well-crafted brow can effect self-esteem, make you look younger, enhance your natural features and save you lots of time if you pencil them in every day. If you are wanting to frame your face and create the perfect brow, come in for a consultation to see if you are a good fit for microblading, a semi-permanent make-up.

Believe it or not, fall is right around the corner. Once again that tricky time between seasons will ariseyou know, when it’s not quite warm enough to sport that crisp new peacoat yet somehow last month’s newly purchased, open-toed wedges just don’t fit the bill. Gone are the high-humidity, sun-drenched afternoons and in their place, dry wispy winds, causing the onslaught of cracked cuticles, parched lips and, unfortunately, transitional skin.The changing of seasons requires... a shift in products, too, even for the most paired-down of routines. Switch to a creamy cleanser that doesn’t foam up, so skin doesn’t get stripped of its natural oils. Skipping daily toner (It can be harsh) and incorporating a hardworking and hydrating serum. Laser hair removal in the fall is ideal. Laser treatments for skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, tattoo removal, hair removal, post acne and more are so popular today.I hope you found this article interesting and valuable. If you have any questions about laser hair removal or numerous other skin treatments, I invite you to contact us at the Daya Spa. It will be our pleasure to answer your questions.
