A quick & simple practice for your mental health in the moment & longevity...
☀️ Each morning: Calm your mind & protect your brain
🌙 Evenings: Calm & induce good sleep
Putting oil on your scalp - especially the crown chakra when weather is cool & dry (very !!) - is an excellent way to maintain your COGNITIVE VITALITY, memory, vision, and support EMOTIONAL STABILITY and quality SLEEP.
🌿 The main reason I’ve returned to this quick daily practice…. most IMPORTANTLY for me as a Vata type...this helps protect against the brain & nervous system kind of drying out with the cold, dry air, and thus neuro-degenerative slowly developing, such as alzheimers and dementia.
Here I’m talking about a quick dab and rub on the central of your scalp
- stay tuned for the SHIRO-ABHYANGA HEAD MASSAGE TECHNIQUE…..
HOW TO
1. Use a herbal oil with bhringraj, brahmi or kalonji (black cumin seed) oil or even just cold-pressed black sesame oil (contact me if you need some).
2. Warm up a little if you have time.
3. With your fingers or a dropper, apply a generous dab of oil to the top, soft centre of your scalp - Adhipati - that slight depression that hasn’t fully closed up (direct access point of spiritual energy!).
4. Rub oil in a circular motion, with gentle pressure, at least 8 times….slowing and lengthening your breath OUT….ahhhh.
5. Got an extra 20 seconds to spare? Extend your fingers across your scalp and massage a while. 😍
🌟Besides being so beneficial for COGNITIVE function, this simple practice is IMEEDIATELY , soothing and for your nervous system.
THE HERBS:
🌿 BRAHMI - famous as the herb for bestowing ‘intelligence’ on the user and improving cognition, mental function, clarity, memory, awareness. A rejuvenative - - herb too.
🌿 BHRINGRAJ - regarded as the “King of Hair Herbs”in Ayurveda. Bhringraj improves hair health & growth, strengthens hair roots and prevents them from getting damaged by pollution. Helps in reducing the dryness of the scalp and dandruff.
