We like to start our day with a ritual that benefits our MIND, BODY and SKIN—as well as our spirit.
In the second week of the Dry Body Brush Challenge we focus on kickstarting wellness throughout the BODY with this quick and easy morning ritual.
We’ve jotted down what we love most about getting our brush on for our beautiful bodies.
Get the Body Flowing
Dry body brushing with vigorous strokes towards the heart inspires the circulatory system to flow.
“I get my blood flowing each day, and it feels so good.”- An affirmation by Miranda.
A stimulated circulatory system delivers fresh nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body.
Like exercise does, dry body brushing can offer the same invigorating essence as soon as you wake.
A Natural Skin Detox
The job of our lymphatic system is to remove toxic waste from our bodies.
The act of dry body brushing can create momentum within the skin organ to flush out toxins and encourage a healthy flow of lymph around the body.
As the skin organ is nourished by a healthy flowing lymphatic system, toxins and waste are kindly asked to leave. A healthy lymphatic system also means a healthier immune system.
Target Cellulite
As a favored chain reaction, a stimulated circulatory system, and healthy flowing lymphatic system, can be your best friend for ridding cellulite.
In a nutshell, cellulite is an accumulation of fatty deposits sitting in connective tissue under the skin. The act of brushing the skin can stir up these tissues and help to break down the deposits and eliminate excess fluids.
The intention being to create firmer, tighter, plumper and smoother skin.
Body Love Temple Meditation
“My body is a temple and I treat it as such.” – An affirmation by Miranda
We love this affirmation as it has a simple and powerful premise: body appreciation.
Declaring these words to yourself each morning, while you brush, can begin to change (over time) lacking thoughts for yourself.
Start the ritual with one hand over your heart and one hand on the brush.
Repeat these words several times as you begin to brush from your feet, up: “My body is a temple.”
Sweep away any negative thoughts that arise—and replace them with loving thoughts of appreciation for your body by repeating: “And I treat it as such.”
Use a breathing technique to dissolve out-dated thoughts while affirming that you are treating your body with love and respect.
Embrace the shift to healthy body consciousness by choosing which thoughts you give your power to, positive or negative.
We choose body appreciation daily—yet being human—some days we may have to call on this practice more than others.
Remember: practicing this daily is the act of treating your body like a temple!
You can choose your own affirmation by using our free affirmation tool here.
Join the challenge by sharing your joy on socials, and tagging @koraorganics with the hashtags #bodylovebodybrush #bodyloveritual.
We’ve also created this Body Glow Duo to share the message of healthy body love—every day.
Miranda’s Skincare Ritual
“I try to Dry Body Brush each morning before I shower. It doesn’t take long, two minutes max. It’s so energizing for the body and increases circulation and blood flow.
In the shower I start with the Renewing Hand & Body Wash, which is an incredibly gentle cleanser that helps bind moisture to your skin even after rinsing, followed by the Invigorating Body Scrub. It scrubs away all my dead skin and leaves me feeling silky smooth and glowing.
Post-shower, I use the Nourishing Hand & Body Lotion and then to lock all the moisture in, I use a layer of the Noni Glow Body Oil all over my body. I feel like a whole new person after using this combo.” – Miranda
