For the maximum benefit in all the exercises, I'd like to include the following to get you into the proper mindset. This might seem like a lot of information to read BEFORE WE EVEN BEGIN, but taking a few moments to read through the following will greatly enhance your mental state and prepare you to reap maximum benefit from the exercises. It is my wish that this site is not only informative, but also brings comfort to you through the often impersonal world of the internet.

Make sure to take deep breaths, as physical health and appearance is as much mental as it is physical. Breathing slowly helps control the mind and give us awareness and power over ourselves in areas we often lose our sensivity. So relax and try as much as you can to enjoy the process. As you become more skilled and begin seeing results, these exercises will focus your mind while invigorating you.

Remember, life is meant to be a process of living, not a forum for conquering. Breathe evenly while making movement and make them with as little distractions as you are comfortable with. The rapidly changing world of the early 2000's sometimes requires us to become addicted to DOING, CONQUERING, and GOAL ACHIEVEMENT. So although the sight of aging or the sight of visual of marks on our own face may cause intense anxiety, the process of healing asks that we be gentle on ourselves and love our bodies.

Simply stated for those who like straightforward directions:

1. Breathe Evenly
2. Relax, Don't try to relax - just focus on the movement.
3. Stay away from distractions. Try not to look for immediate gratification.
4. And most importantly - Be gentle on yourself - Love your imperfect self.

The links to certain types of exercises, along with the introduction will be listed on the top of the page and to the right. TOP AND RIGHT.

FOR EXAMPLE - This post is filed under the chapter MENTAL PREPARATION. It is also filed under the chapter INSTRUCTIONS to prevent some from getting confused. The computer term is a LABEL for what I call a CHAPTER. I think it's simpler to use the word CHAPTER. I want everybody to find what they are looking for with minimal effort for you, the viewer.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE - The CHAPTER (or label) called EYE EXERCISES will have all posts related to exercises meant to improve the appearance or reduce wrinkles around the eye. The CHAPTER (or label) called RELAXATION will include all posts having to do with learning how to relax the face. Some of the individual posts will relate to two different CHAPTERS and you will be able to access them by choosing either chapter.

That's all there is to know. I hope you enjoy this page and find it easy to navigate. Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing where to find what we are looking for. This page hopefully is a refuge from that confusion.
