India Rose Therapies

With October being Menopause Awareness month I have created Duo packages of my menopause-sensitive treatments for the month of October.

Until the end of September the Glow Pamper is available at £44. This is a gorgeous treatment using Neal's Yard Wild Rosehip range. It includes a back cleanse, scrub, massage and moisturise; facial cleanse, polish, massage and moisturise; finishing with a hand and arm massage. A beautiful floral pamper.

The final technique is the Five Senses (also known as the 5,4,3,2,1 Meditation) and is a nice one to do at home during study leave to help refocus.

Take time to notice 5 things you can see from where you are.
What 4 things can you touch - what do they feel like, what sensations do you experience?
What 3 things can you hear?
Two things you can smell; can you recognise them?
One thing you can taste - perhaps you can still taste the last thing you ate or drank?

This only takes a few minutes but is an effective grounding technique for anxious times.

Today's breathing technique is the Figure of 8 (or infinity) Breathing.

With the exams season upon us, I thought it might be helpful to once again share some breathing techniques.
I've selected ones that don't require resources and can be practiced discreetly, making them ideal before an exam, even when surrounded by other people.

The first technique is Square Breathing. Click on the image to see the whole technique.
Happy breathing!
