 Chakras are vortices of energy through which the life force flows through us. These correspond to different aspects of our being and influence the physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Each of the seven Chakras influences a certain area of the body and life; However, so that we can feel good and comfortable in the environment, the fundamental thing is that everyone is in perfect balance. When that happens, there is a sense of general well-being: we feel in tune with the universe, open up to receive the universal energy of love. However, if one or more Chakras are blocked, all others start to malfunction, and we lose our inner balance. Therefore, taking care of our Chakras and keeping them balanced is extremely important for life. Below we present a resume of each of them and an exercise to activate and balance them.

Simple exercise: Activate and balance your Seven Chakras  Now that we know about our Chakras, you may be interested in keeping them always open and activated. with this simple exercise you can give yourself a moment to balance your energy. It will only take a few minutes and it will make an immediate change in how you feel.
1. Sit quietly so that you are about a meter and away from an empty wall. Create an imaginary bubble around you. 2. Imagine that in the place of each of your chakras there is a light. Each of these lights can have a different color, or they can all be the same color. 3. From top to bottom, turn on all your lights and aim their rays at the wall in front of you, being aware of the strength of each light, noticing the reaches of the wall and not the problems. 4. Imagine that the room is overflowing with incredible light. It can be white, blue, gold or silver. 5. As you begin to see and feel the light, you will notice that it is surrounding your bubble, crossing its limits and beginning to fill it. When your bubble is full of light, it will begin to enter your chakras. 6. Be aware of the chakras that you can enter well and which ones have some kind of difficulty entering. Try to inhale and direct the light deeper and deeper into the chakras where the light has not been able to fully penetrate. 7. When you have inhaled enough light to balance the chakras, rest in the light for a few minutes before dissolving your bubble and returning to your normal state of consciousness.  Mother nature always knows best. Did you know that the orange not only provides antioxidants and promotes good digestion? Today we will tell you about the benefits of orange so that your body and skin looks radiant and healthy. One of the things I like about Malta are the Maltese Oranges, and luckily the island is very fertil because they are everywhere, literally. With a high content of vitamin C, it helps to have a strong immune system and protected from infections. In turn, it prevents colds and other types of ailments. Good digestion makes the body work properly, so it affects healthy and nourished skin. Take note, these are more benefits of orange:  A fruit rich in antioxidants
Being a natural food, orange peel contains antioxidants such as vitamin C that rejuvenates the skin. In other words, it prevents cell disorders and preserves fresh, healthy skin. Contains calcium Another of its properties is calcium, which also helps regenerate the skin. Natural scrub It has the function of cleaning and protecting the skin as an exfoliant, but in a natural way. By applying the peel, remove blackheads and pimples, so the skin is clean and polished. It also has the benefit of not appearing easily again. Returns skin tone On many occasions, the sun creates spots on the skin, especially during the summer. The skin of the orange has the advantage of removing these marks and leveling the tone of your skin. Faced with poor protection from the sun, orange is a good companion to restore health to the skin. How to consume the orange to have more benefits on the skin? There are very varied ways of consuming orange to generate greater benefits on the skin. The best way is to drink a freshly squeezed juice, with the possibilities offered by our Zummo machines. They easily and quickly squeeze the orange so you can consume. Another option is to eat the fruit, but you can also take it in infusions with the peel of the orange, grate the skin and add it in different desserts or dishes, as well as to season the meat or fish.  Due to the global health emergency, everyone is called to stay at home with the aim of preventing the proliferation of the disease from continuing. Although many currently work remotely, others have free time for other activities. Reading a book, watching movies and exercising are among the recreational options that we can develop at home. However, at this time it is also possible to dedicate a space to take care of our skin and feel better. If you can´t go to Spa, the Spa comes to you! We will share 3 amazing scrubs for your face and body with ingredients you can find on your kitchen! Banana and Sugar Scrub  Bananas are a great natural choice for body care. Its creamy pulp is delicious and relaxing. It is nourishing and hydrating and can be used for gentle exfoliation and skin tightening. In this simple formula, Banana and Sugar combine for a body or facial scrub. When the bananas are starting to turn black they are perfect for this recipe. Ingredients: - 1 ripe banana - 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar - ¼ teaspoon of essential oil. Preparation: Mix the ingredients with a fork (don't mash it too much as it will get very thin). If you want to use it on the face, save a little banana and mash it without sugar. In the shower, place the mixture on your skin and massage your entire body. Rinse with lukewarm water. Rose and Sugar Scrub  For a long time, rose petals have been used in different beauty products. Sugar scrubs are already great for your skin, but this Rose Sugar Scrub is even better for the skin than most. Now you can nourish and heal your skin while smelling like roses! Ingredients: - 1/4 cup organic coconut oil - 14 or 15 chemical-free rose petals - 1 and a half cups of white sugar (you can use brown). Preparation: Microwave coconut oil for about 30 seconds or until melted. Not over hot. Add the coconut oil, roses, and sugar in a blender or food processor. Mix everything for two or three seconds just so that everything comes together. Do not liquefy it too much so that it does not become liquid. We want to have a sandy mix. Lemon, Sugar and Honey Scrub  Sugar will simulate the granules or microspheres like any exfoliate. Lemon contains Alpha Hydroxide Acid, a natural acid that works as an excellent exfoliant and helps remove dead skin cells. While Honey is a natural antioxidant and antibacterial. Thanks to its properties, this scrub helps you hydrate and care for your skin. You can also use it as a mask. Ingredients: - 1 Lemon - 1 Tablespoon of Honey - 2 Tablespoon of Sugar Preparation: Mix a tablespoon of honey with the juice of the lemon and sugar until is compact. Use: Place your face in a pot of boiling water. In this way the steam will open your pores and you can do a deeper cleaning. Apply it all over the face and avoid the eye area. Let the skin absorb the mask for 15 minutes. Then wash with warm water and finish with a little cold water to close the pores. Don´t forget to always before applying any of the masks or scrubs to clean your face with your daily cleaning product, micellar water, cleaning gel, etc first. To finish, moisturize with facial moisturizer. Enjoy your smooth and renewed skin!
 Coronavirus is life-threatening for certain risk groups, which are defined based on age and previous disease. According to statistics, it is potentially dangerous for people over 80 years, or with some disease or low defenses. Increasing our body's defenses is at the top of our list of priorities to combat this virus that is revolutionizing the world. To protect ourselves, apart from staying at home, we must strengthen our immune system to ensure that we face with sufficient force. How to know if your defenses are low? Analytics and other tests show the presence of elements harmful to our body and also the lack of certain substances that it produces naturally, but they are not able to show if a person is weak, tired or if the body is especially vulnerable to diseases. Food to help raise your defenses It is common for us to use vitamin supplements or other medications to increase our defenses. But we must bear in mind that we can hone our defenses naturally, with a well-varied diet, and choosing foods with micronutrients that help us raise white blood cells, strengthening our immune system. 
 But we should not forget other equally important pillars to reinforce our defenses such as physical exercise and emotional well-being, since they are an essential part for our immune system to function properly.
Other ways to increase your defenses Eliminate stress Studies do not fail to corroborate the direct relationship between high levels of stress and suppression of the immune system. In addition, chronic stress increases blood pressure, blood sugar levels and alters the hormonal system, making the secretion of cortisol, adrenaline and endorphins constant, which could lead to being overweight. Sleep Science shows that when we are sleep deprived, inflammatory cytokines increase while T cells decrease, two responses that weaken the immune system. Also when we are tired we have a tendency to consume not so healthy foods like caffeine or sugary drinks and ingredients. Sugar feeds the overgrowth of candidiasis, unbalancing the intestinal flora and weakening our defenses. Move Practicing sports regularly increases defenses. The cause is still not entirely clear, but this fact is associated with the fact that the rise in temperature when practicing sport fights some germs, or that physical activity reduces stress levels, sweat helps to eliminate bacteria and toxins from the body and stimulates a better blood circulation. So now you know, do exercises at home like yoga, pilates, etc. Now, a word of warning: Overloading the body with too much exercise can weaken the immune system, so don't overdo it! Hydrate yourself Water helps flush toxins from the body and keeps mucous membranes moist and prevents germs that induce colds and flu from sticking to the walls of the nose and lungs. Green juices will be one of your best allies. If we take care of our body with a good diet and healthy habits, we will create a “terrain” that is not conducive for germs to nest and we will be giving our body the necessary tools to have defenses at the point of battle.  As the years pass, the natural mechanisms of each person are altered, for the most part, by the lifestyle, since we contribute to the oxidation process being accelerated and therefore, aging occurs prematurely. Just as there are certain health tips that you must follow at 30 or some secrets that can elevate your style at this age, there are specific beauty care for women in their thirties. If you follow them, you will fight the first signs of aging, you will avoid the imperfections that still appear (remember that adult acne is a reality) and you will protect your skin from the attacks that it usually suffers, from contamination to hormonal imbalances. We reveal the four keys that, if they are not yet part of your life, should become your new habits today.  1. Change Routine every Morning and Night
The needs of the skin first thing of the day and last are different, so you should use different products at all times. In the morning, your face needs, mainly, protection since throughout the day you will suffer the attack of sun rays, pollution and free radicals. When you wake up, therefore, use a serum and a cream with antioxidant ingredients, together with sunscreen (in the cream or makeup, or both products better). After the day, focus your cleansing and hydration ritual on helping the nocturnal regeneration of the cells. Remove makeup and dirt from your skin with micellar water, follow with a retinol serum, and end with a moisturizer specifically created for the night. 2. Use the eye contour daily It is one of the most delicate areas of the face because the skin is very thin and does not contain fat cells that keep it young. Therefore, the eye contour is the first area to show wrinkles or age spots and a specific cosmetic is, at 30, an indispensable product. Apply it with delicate touches in the area that remains on the cheek bone and keep some distance with the eye to avoid irritation. 3. Include the neck and neckline in the facial ritual This is another extremely delicate area that often does not receive the necessary care, because you consider it part of the body and not an extension of your face, as it should be. The neck and neckline also need cleaning and hydration twice a day. This will keep your beauty longer because, even if they still look young, they will be the first areas of your body to reveal your age sooner than you think. 4. Understand makeup as a daily protector In addition to a way to enhance your beauty, smooth your skin and camouflage imperfections, makeup (both the base and powders) are a way to create a protective layer against toxins, sun rays and free radicals. If you think it is better not to put on makeup at all so that your skin 'breathes', you are wrong. Whenever you leave the house, apply at least one BB Cream to prevent the consequences of the harmful agents listed. 5. Get Facials Frecuently To fully enjoy glowing skin, it’s important to give your skin the care it needs. One facial in your lifetime isn’t enough to keep your skin happy. The best way to ensure your skin is healthy and clean is to have routine facials coupled with a good at home skin care regimen. To maximize the results of a facial and reap its benefits, set up a routine that works best for you and your skin. and book professional facials frecuently to keep your skin young and healthy.
