Key to Vitality

Most days, I sit with my face. Not to look. To feel. To listen.

Our face is a map. Every organ. Every system. Every place energy stagnates at times. 

I move the wand across my skin. Small. Precise. Zingy spots pop up. Under the left nostril today. Not good or bad. Just stuck energy asking for attention.

I’ve long believed that keeping energy flowing is one of the best ways to stay well. I’ve tried many practices. I use all of them.

This one is special… You see, my bestie on the Azuero Peninsula, where I spent two years, taught me. Her first career was as a nurse. She walked away from the medical system. She wanted to help people truly tend their health. Help them be vital. Alive. Not manage disease. For many years she has trained practitioners to offer the healing power of facial reflexology. 

To me, it feels like tending a garden. Water. Weed. Give extra love to the spots that need it. 

The magic wand finds the spots your hands might miss. You notice a zing, tension, sensitivity. You breathe and give it a little extra love. Ten seconds or so of circling it with your magic wand. 

It’s quiet, intimate self-care. Communion with your body’s innate capacity to heal.
