It came to me yesterday that as the world becomes more intense all the time, with people killing each other, starving in most of the world, and holed up in their homes craving touch, I had a solution to the ills of human nature. Brushing your hair. Nobody is brushing their hair anymore. When did it stop? The stress goes right to the scalp. In fact, I will start polling scalps and give you an update on how many people have tight scalps, and how many people brush. I can guarantee you this, most people do not brush their hair. I touch scalps all day long, and at least 75% are tight. So, now we have tight scalps, and more people do not brush their hair because of hair color, or hair products, and then we go to bed with unbrushed hair(yuck!), then we wake up and do it again. More product, more air pollution, more stress, and no brushing, then back to bed again. Then we do it all again. I wonder what goes on for our skin too, resting on that yucky pillowcase over and over.
The perfect anecdote is to BRUSH your hair! Not only does brushing feel good, it relaxes every part of you, but all the toxins, and tension gets brushed away. And as if that wasn't sweet enough, the oils get brushed out to the ends of the hair, which mostly are dry. The softness starts to permeate everywhere. You can't just use any brush...you have to check out the Mason Pearson brushes at www.masonpearson.com. These brushes feel so good, and last a lifetime they say. You will never need another brush, nor will you want one. These brushes get right down to the scalp, without digging in, and without little plastic, tips coming off.
While you are at it, brush right down over your body, with your clothes on. Brushing in downward strokes the arms, the sides of the body, your legs, your back, your legs, right down the feet. You've never felt anything like it.
When you brush away your stress, you are tuning into your own body, you can feel your own energy again, and you are tending to yourself. Isn't this where world peace begins? Maybe you will want to do it for someone else. We will have hair brushing parties...we will do it for our kids.
