Feeling freedom through body brushing

27/3/2018

Picture
After reading Donna Moon’s article, 5 Steps To A Vibrant Life, in the Spring 2018 edition of She Who Knows, I knew it was time to take action for my body. I started with the third step, body brushing. Dry skin brushing is something that has been on my radar for almost 30 years. I have owned various soft brushes in that time but I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have actually entered into the practice. Living off-grid I don’t get to do full body immersion bathing very often and this Winter I have not been to the pool once. So, after I had purchased an absolutely super-duper new brush, complete with detachable handle for ease and comfort, I was ready to commit myself to new habits.
 
The first time I used the brush I can honestly say that, on certain parts of my body (namely, thighs), it was as if I was sanding a piece of wood! Small piles of dead skin built up just like sawdust as I went over and over these neglected areas and great clouds of “dust” filled the air, causing much perturbation to my husband as he worried for his lungs! That night I slept soundly and awoke feeling refreshed rather than still tired which is my usual disposition in Winter.
 
I have been brushing regularly now for almost three weeks and, last week, I had my bleed. Usually I really do suffer with period pain but this time I sailed right through with no pain or lengthy discomfort, and no clots or sickness, just a wonderful, healthy flow and beautiful, sensual feelings that all women should be able to experience at this time of the month. Of course I can’t be sure that this was due to the body brushing, but nothing else has changed in my life, and it makes sense that sweeping away toxins and greatly improving the circulation would benefit the womb.
 
Now, my body asks to be brushed. It cries out for the soft sweep of bristles on my skin, it is excited at the tingling feeling that each stroke creates as blood rises to just beneath the surface, and it delights in the soaking in of oils that are now massaged into its layers. How things have changed! No more living inside a crust! But rather in a body that delights in a new found freedom and lightness, and that wants to dance with the sweetness of Spring!

Hello sweet you!
I have a very dry skin, itching as well and specially winter time. Finally spring is coming here in North (Sweden) and I would love to know how I do this body brushing if you like to share. Also what tool you recommend?
Have a wonderful day....
And happy Full Moon blessings soon
Blessings / Anna

Hello Anna,

Lovely to hear from you.

You can buy brushes specifically for dry skin body brushing. I am not sure of the make of mine but I got it in my local "green" shop. They are also available in health stores. Mine is made from beech wood and the long handle is detachable which then leaves you with just the brush part for easier to reach parts of the body. It has a strap over the back of it - like a currie comb for a horse as my friend pointed out - which makes it really easy to use.

There are a number of postings on YouTube which show the best techniques to use. The one I followed was 'How To Dry Body Brush For Beautiful Smooth Skin' by Olivia Budgen.

May I suggest that you take it very gently if you do this with really sensitive skin? It may be that you just need to slough off the dead layer but if it's itchy it could be that you have a condition that you need to take in to account.

Good luck! Hope it works for you.

Blessings, Cheryl
