Over the last 6 weeks, there have been many diagrams on Facial Wrinkles and what they reflect about a person’s state of health, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. This column provides a list of tools to consider to help clear those wrinkles. Details of the techniques may be located in a variety of places; from the columns on Wrinkles, past columns accessible through the Island Sun or my blog; Donna Eden’s book Energy Medicine, or my website. The following list is not exhaustive; since we all have many tools that help us shift the energetic habit fields via our own neurotransmitters.

• Meridian Facial Massage (See Column on Wrinkles). Do the Crown Pull 1^st (5 Minute Routine)
• Process what you feel, let it hurt, sink into the emotion while holding the forehead with one hand ( main Neurovascular points and the back of the head with the other hand
• For that sense of hopelessness or fear- rest, mediate and be still. Live mindfully
• Do 5 thumps (K27; thymus; spleen; stomach points on face; & outsides of upper legs
• Clear the chakras associated with emotion (use counterclockwise circles to clear)
• Rub the Neurolymphatics associated with the emotion
• Do Connecting Heaven & Earth exercise
• Hold both temples at the same time, while imagining a ball of energy moving between the sides
• Rub your Ming men point on back (directly behind navel)
• Do the 5 Minute Routine

Try one or all and watch your reflection change!

As you gaze into the mirror, you see your authentic self, who you really are and it reflects how you really feel. These facial changes provide us with a wakeup call to “face” the feelings and emotions that perhaps we have avoided or perhaps to be joyous at what we don’t see! Over the last month, the meaning of many wrinkles has been learned. By feeling and experiencing the emotion, flow, motion and movement are created-all releasing trapped energy!

Today’s image of transformation lines on the forehead reflect that a shift has occurred bringing the person into alignment with who she/he really is; they indicate the ability to see through the 3rd eye, with broader, wise and accepting perspective. The pain lines on the side of the eyes reflect some type of pain, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual. The lost love lines over the cheeks reflect that when you lost someone you loved deeply you lost a part of your own self as well. Lines under the bottom lip may indicate one who has followed the “rules” his/her entire life and has not experienced a sense of be rewarded; he/she may have expected to receive recognition, a reward for all the hard work and has discovered there will never be any recognition or reward .

Compare each of these lines to the diagram from the first Column on wrinkles to find the organ to which the emotion is associated. It gives you clues on where to focus your own attention to shift the emotions to begin to remove those wrinkles. Next week’s column will provide a summary of the tools referenced over the last 6 weeks! Enjoy the journey- we do have much power for healing ourselves.

Why do we care about the wrinkles on our face?  Ok, I admit it is an entirely new language, but if you look at the face of a loved one and see lines that denote deep sorrow, or disempowerment or worry, isn’t it nice to know to gently suggest concern? It is one more piece to provide self-healing tools of empowerment to “Tap the Radiance of Well n Being” (my mission statement).

Observe the lines in the diagram. The skepticism lines on the forehead reflect someone who was lied to as a child, found people weren’t honest; and this person will tend to weigh and measure what others say. These lines can be good if eyes are not narrowed. Lines by the nose indicate one who swallows their feelings, stuffing them by an outward attitude “that’s OK” no matter how he/she feels; thus disempowering the person. Lines above the lips reflect one who puts others before themselves. Lines on the side of the mouth indicate one has experienced much disappointment. A line horizontally across the chin reflects one feeling overworked doing something they don’t really want to do (they may tend to project lack of care about what others think because they can’t afford to care & take more on). A vertical line on the chin may indicate someone who wants to be on stage, feels compelling desire for attention and feedback.

These are general guidelines. Look in the mirror and reflect with these diagrams. Address the emotions that are stuck in the ways set forth over the last several weeks. Use the Facial Meridian Massage, Crown pull, Neurolymphatics, trace or flush the meridians. Do the 5 minute Routine. Sit quietly experiencing the emotion while holding the main Neurovasculars (palm on forehead) and the other hand on the back of the head. Be empowered. Imagine the shifts of old habits and your neurotransmitters will change!

EEM does not diagnose or cure illness, but working with subtle energies of the body has been shown to help many conditions.

                Wrinkles are our gift of warning, our wake up calls, our map of trauma and joy! We do have joy lines too (crow’s feet at the outside of our eyes); humor lines (vertical lines on bottom lip); and purpose lines (from outside edge of nostril to corner of the mouth). The focus of these columns is to provide information to enable reflection on the deep emotions that sometime haunt us, but may not be recognized since we have become so comfortable in living with and emotion or old trauma.

                Observe the image. The straight downturned lines are indicative of sadness, which becomes sorrow if not resolved and then grief if left unexpressed. These emotions are directly associated with the lung and large intestine meridians (the Metal Rhythms). How often we hear “Susie has really aged since her mother died”-because her face has the wrinkles of grief.  Remember that the emotion and thus the wrinkles don’t need to be permanent!

                To begin to shift, do the Meridian Massage Facial ,massage the Neurolymphatics, trace or flush lung or large intestine meridians, make the sounds SSSSSSSSSSS on the exhale of each of several deep breaths (this sound soothes the Metal Rhythm) and focus on expressing letting go of guilt, anger, shame and fear associated with the loss. See the 4 prior columns on Wrinkles for additional tips.

Beginning to feel that wrinkles can shift? Gazing into my mirror, I do already notice a slight reduction in my liver lines-yeah!  Remember that each wrinkle shows where energy is stuck and trauma has not been released from the system.

                Observe in the image the deep lines between the eyes. These wrinkles are associated with the liver, reflecting one who is frustrated, irritable, or annoyed– which has likely been unexpressed for many years, perhaps even beginning in utero. If these same lines extend further into the forehead (see image) they are reflective of deep worry, which will be indicative of energy imbalances in the pancreas or perhaps the spleen. Bags under the eyes are directly connected to kidney health, with the emotion of fear, futility or a sense of hopelessness.

            These wrinkles are wonderful wake up calls to get the underlying emotion “unstuck”, enabling the energy to flow and thus reverse the wrinkles! How?  Feel what you really feel, express what you really feel, be yourself and not what someone else desires… change your habits and patterns. Do Meridian Facial Massage (last week’s column). Additionally for each organ effected, rub the associated Neurolymphatic points and  trace or flush the meridian, as described in previous columns or refer to the Energy Medicine book. For example, look at the Expel the Venom exercise for Liver or the Spleen thump for worry or the K27 thump for liver while experiencing the emotion associated with the organ. There are many options to address the underlying emotion. These tools are at our own fingertips to self-empower own healing journey.

                When gazing into the mirror and finding new wrinkles suddenly appearing, did it ever occur to you that these wrinkles are a direct reflection of the health of the energy in and through your organs? Each emotion we experience is directly associated with an organ of the body. For example, if you are feeling irritable and annoyed for an ongoing period, you will likely find vertical wrinkles starting at the inside edge of your eyebrows and extending about ¾ of an inch into the forehead. Over the next several weeks, you will learn the meaning of some wrinkles on your face and what to do about them.

                Having just returned from a week long International meeting with energy medicine practitioners in San Diego and being so intrigued by a workshop on wrinkles presented by Chana Klein, MSEd, EEM-AP, MACA, it seemed beneficial to share.  Next week you will learn how to help clear the wrinkles-really it does work. The presenter was 72 and had virtually no wrinkles on her face (and no cosmetic surgery either). So, let’s start with this diagram of the face, which depicts the location of the organ energy and emotion.

                See the notation liver between the eyes and over the eyebrow? If there are wrinkles in these locations or no eyebrows, this is an indication of liver dis-ease. Liver filters toxins, emotionally and physically. If no eyebrows-there are likely too many toxins in the body. You will discover that by tuning into what your body is speaking, you can begin to shift habits and reduce your wrinkles!

                To get started on clearing, begin by making 15 figure 8s around the orbit of eyes (while they are open) with both hands held together, crossing at the bridge of the nose. This takes consistent effort so include it in your daily routine!
