ALWAYS LOOK LOVELY

I love Roald Dahl's wise and whimsical children's books.

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” 
― Roald Dahl, The Twits

Oh it is so true. So to help you use the "smile beauty" muscles of your face I created an audio (I also made it a video) to share. You can see it on youtube. You can also own it as an audio or video download by purchasing the FACELIFT TO GO online e-course. Here is a discount coupon for my blog followers. INNERBEAUTY

This video is called Inner Beauty - Shine from the Inside Out. It is the most viewed video on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. It infuses you with feelings of peacefulness, security, self-esteem and confidence.  It is super relaxing so listen to it when you are not needing to focus on anything else. Don't worry if you fall asleep while listening. That just means you need the sleep. Take it. Your subconscious mind will still hear the loving suggestions.

ENJOY!  And BE BEST!

ROCKING THE FACE ELVIS & MADONNA STYLE

It's the new year and that means resolution time.  People are taking action to look and feel better. Online course enrollment is up for both my weight loss and my facelift course. Excellent. I am happy to share my powerful techniques. Let's all look and feel MARVELOUS in 2015!

It is Elvis Presely's birthday today and in honor of The King of Rock n' Roll I am extending the discount coupons for both of my courses. Take advantage now by following these links. FACELIFT TO GO and NO EFFORT WEIGHT LOSS.

JANUARY 8, 1935 - AUGUST 16, 1977

So what is the connection between Elvis's birthday and my online courses? Well just look at that face. Elvis is the master of THE SNARL which is the BONUS Facial Renewal Exercise in the Facelift to Go course.  That's right, his sexy sneering lip action helps to reduce PUPPET FACE.  It pulls up the muscles that sag on both the sides of the mouth.

Ladies we have ALL done this.  We have all stood in front of the mirror and placed our fingers to the sides of our eyes and ever so slightly pulled up the skin to the hairline and thought, "Just a teeny tiny bit higher and I would look SO MUCH YOUNGER."

Yes, you are correct.  You would definitely look younger.  But surgically taking a little tuck in the skin wouldn't do much of anything.  Your skin is attached to the muscles underneath.  If the muscles are the same saggy mess the skin would just follow suit and sag again, quickly. What you need to do is tighten the underlying muscle. Going the surgical route would mean time off from work, swollen black eyes, pain, sleeping sitting up for awhile, covering up from the sun and counting on the help of a caregiver to do all of the bending for you for at least a week. No reading unless you hold the newspaper or book out in front of you. You are not supposed to look down. Horrors - no laptop? It may seem nice to have someone clean the cat little for awhile but to help you put on your socks and tie your shoes? To keep cold saline soaked rags on your eyes to reduce the swelling?  To drive you to all your appointments? And GOD forbid what if the doctor makes a mistake? What if there is an added infection and scarring? Wouldn't you rather get the results naturally? Of course.

You could tighten those muscles by SMILING - A LOT.  That would be a simple way but it's not necessarily the easiest way. Life is life. Most people have way too much stress to be smiling all day long. So why don't you simply tighten the muscles with the safe and easy facial renewal exercises in the Facelift to Go Program? It is an option and a very good one at that.  :)

AND NOW THE BONUS EXERCISE...

ROCKING THE FACE WITH RENEWAL EXERCISES

"ELVIS & MADONNA STYLE"

THE SNARL INSTRUCTIONS

With your face relaxed lift up your top right lip as if in a snarl. Using just your muscles and your willpower try to touch your lip to the top of your ear. Hold for 3 seconds and repeat. Do 50 repetitions on each side (more if possible). Fit this exercise in wherever and whenever possible.

Note: One side of your face will move easier than the other. Most of us have a dominant side. You may have to hold down one side with your fingers and mentally concentrate on the movement on your non-dominant side. Since it is preferable to have a symmetrical face you should always try to do more repetitions on the weaker side.

This exercise will help with that Puppet Face that appears beginning in peri-menopause. Instead of kegels at red lights perform the snarl.

COUGH SUPPRESSION - CHOP THAT COUGH

I am sure that this has happened to you.  You have a cold with a nagging cough and it interrupts your ability to communicate.  You need to stop chatting on the phone or presenting in a meeting.  I posted several weeks ago about what to do about the first onset of a cough to boost your system before it goes too deep.  You can find that post HERE.  But this situation is different.  The cough is already deep and down right annoying.  What can you do about it?  KARATE CHOP IT!

In this short video I demonstrate a really nifty technique to quell the need to cough in a pinch.  It was taught to me many years ago by a Japanese bodywork instructor.

You do not have to be so precise in the location of the acupuncture points because by hitting the two meridians or channels of energy you give the electrical circuitry an energetic jolt.  If you really want precise points look to these graphics below.  The specific points are LU 6 and LI 7 but chopping the areas work just fine.

I hope that helps!

I cover so many more acu-points and techniques in the workshop Relief at Your Fingertips  Let me know what is important to you and I will do my best to post helpful information here on the blog.  Check out the main web site @ BEBEST.COM

A SCREAMING PAIN - SOOTHING VOICE STRAIN

Now that Halloween is over are you finding your throat a bit raspy from all the screaming in haunted houses or watching horror movies?  Or maybe you have been yelling during the World Series (congratulations Boston Red Sox!) or these autumn days of football.  Or maybe like me your passion is talking for hours speaking in front of audiences. Well I have another Super Duper Tip to help relax your throat muscles and help them heal up.  Singers take note!

 

The acu-point to use is called TH 3 or TW 3 (triple heater or triple warmer). It is important to note that this point is used for voice strain and not for a sore throat due to a cold or virus.  Sorry, but it will not work for that.  It is specifically for the discomfort from over working your voice singing, screaming, shouting, yelling and speaking.  The point is very simple to find.  It is located between your ring finger and your baby finger just past the knuckle on the back of your hand.

You can lightly pinch between your fingers to stimulate the point or use your fingertip to genttly rub the top of your hand.  Either hand will do just fine.

So there you go, another quick and easy tip to help you feel better and keep you out of the medicine chest.  For more tips keep checking the blog.  And SHOUT US OUT to your friends.  You can follow the posts by email using the link on the top right sidebar.  Check out the youtube channel and of course visit BEBEST.COM for more information on Patricia's International Wellness Workshops.

DON'T BE A DUMMY - LIFT UP YOUR PUPPET FACE

Note:  Happy Anniversary to the BeBestBlog.  We have been posting for one month and now have readers in 16 countries!!!   Keep passing these great tips along.  Thank You for checking in.

In the workshop Be Ever-Young - the Natural Non-Surgical Face-Lift I teach a segment called "What Your Face Says About You" (Oriental Visual Diagnosis).  One thing I mention is Puppet Face.  Puppet face is a term used for the vertical lines on either side of the mouth that appear as a women gets older.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine this area reflects the state of the reproductive system, more specifically the ovaries. The closer a woman is to menopause the deeper the lines become. Be Ever-Young's Facial Renewal Exercises and the Acupressure Face-Lift Routine can aid immensely in keeping the area toned and the energy freely moving. It is however, a tough battle to fight.

I have found in years of clinical work that my clients who have had a hysterectomy or were forced into an early menopause quickly developed these puppet face lines.  Learning the Facial Renewal Exercises and the Acupressure Routine and performing them regularly will help keep you from looking like a "wooden dummy".

Here’s a Bonus Facial Renewal Exercise that you can do whenever you stop at a red light.  It helps pull up the muscles on the side of the mouth.

The Snarl

50 repetitions

With your face relaxed lift up your top right lip as if in a snarl. Try to touch your lip to the top of your ear. Hold for 3 seconds and repeat. Do the same on the left side.

One side of your face will move easier than the other. Most of us tend to have a dominant side. You may actually have to hold one side down with your fingers and really concentrate on the movement on your non-dominant side. Since it is preferable to have a symmetrical face you should always try to do more repetitions on the weaker side.

What Your Face Says About You is just one segment of the Be Ever-Young - the Natural Non-Surgical Face-Lift workshop.  Other segments include:  An explanation of how the face is structured differently than the rest of the body, Facial Renewal Exercises, the Acupressure Face-Lift, and an Inner Beauty Guided Imagery Session.  You can find the Inner Beauty Guided Imagery session on my youtube channel.  Have Fun!
