Be Still ... and Be Beautiful

Sometimes to get in touch with our inner beauty we need to be still and get quiet. I have discovered an awesome way to do that.

I just finished a little routine that I often do in the morning or anytime of day really. The one thing I did differently today was that I set the routine to relaxing spa music. Wow! Did that ever enhance the experience. So much so that I just had to share it with my dear readers.

The activity that I'm referring to is a 5 minute morning yoga routine. The video is at the end of this post so you will get to see it and even give it a try. It's only 5 minutes!! I hope that you discover as I have that it truly impacts the whole person - body, mind, spirit.

1. Body: This activity will get your body moving in a very gentle way. It's energizing yet calming and it just plain feels good. Plus done on some regular basis you will see and feel physical changes.

2. Mind: Your mind will relax and let go of all the tensions of life. It will sooth the stress brain waves that cause us to do crazy things like overeat.  

3. Spirit: You will feel so nurtured that your spirit will sing. A little activity like this will speak mounds of love to your inner self.

In body, mind, and spirit your body will thank you. You will be surprised at how something so small can not only add a bounce to your step but actually be healing. Depending upon your day and where you are, it can even give you warm fuzzies. I've had that experience! =)

Try this simple 5 minute yoga routine with calming spa music in the background. (See my Amazon Picks for suggested music.) Let me know if you walk away feeling relaxed and beautiful from the inside like I do.  

What kind of things do you do to get still and quiet?

What does my 1st giveaway & a facelift have in common? Read on!

For a chance to win a FREE copy of The Yoga Face - Eliminate Wrinkles with the Ultimate Natural Facelift be sure to read to the end.

Whether you want to lessen the appearance of current wrinkles and/or avoid wrinkles this book is for you.  The Yoga Face was recommended to me by a mentor friend who I deeply trust. I couldn't wait to get it and when I did I went to work right away. The face exercises are simple, quick, and fun.  But what I like is that Annalise is very comprehensive in that she includes the whole body.  Yes, you can just do the facial exercises and be done.  But if you want more you'll want to use the entire program.  It includes:

* Facial movements 

* Full-body routines & poses

* Massage, breathing, & meditation techniques 

* Tips on nutrition & natural beauty products

I'm excited to provide You Tube videos with Annelise demonstrating some of the facial movements.  You get to see first hand how easy these moves are.  I know you will try them right along with her as it's hard not to. 

After viewing the videos you can click the Amazon link in the sidebar for more information about this fabulous book, The Yoga Face.  It's a must have for your library.
