• Seaweed Body Butter (8oz/250ml)
• Hand Grip Strengthener Ring
• Accu Reflex Spiky Massage Ball

Overview:

Your well-being is important and too much stress and excessive muscle tension can certainly have a negative impact on your body, mind, and spirit. With this natural muscle relief gift set, you have great tips and tools that you can implement right away, to help you feel better, manage stress, and achieve muscle tension relief. When we feel rushed all the time, we don’t tend to spend much “me time”, so it’s important you are reminded that you matter and deserve to be empowered with supportive strategies to help you feel balanced. With these effective, yet simple wellness products and rituals, you will help your brain release an assortment of feel-good chemicals that alleviate stress and anxiety. Additionally, your skin is going to get some amazing hydration and nourishment unlike ever before. Perfect to help combat the dryness of all that excessive hand washing and sanitizing we do these days.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your space according to the experience you would like.
2. Relax in a comfortable spot and close your eyes. Practice a mindful breathing exercise: Breathe in deeply and slowly, then exhale out your mouth. Repeat this in and out like a wave, until you feel relaxed and calm. You can even follow along with a guided breathwork video you can find online. Connect with yourself and be present in the moment. Mindfully feel your shoulders drop away from your ears on the exhale and relax. Take a few moments to enjoy the inner calm, connectedness, and increased oxygen to your brain and all of your cells. Your body will thank you.
3. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: Breathe in through your nose 1-2-3-4. Hold 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Exhale out your mouth 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Repeat as needed.
4. Give yourself a heart hug: place your hands over the center of your chest. Take a deep breath in and long exhale out your mouth. While keeping your hands over your chest, think self-affirming positive thoughts and connect to your inner self.
5. Slow down. Even if just for a micro-break. When we feel rushed all the time, we don’t tend to spend much time on ourselves and we end up disconnecting from our inner self. It’s way too easy to get lost and stuck in a rut. Mental health is a really important thing to keep positive. It’s a good idea to make sure you are doing things to keep your mental health strong. If ever you feel stuck, please make sure to talk about it with someone safe and seek professional help at any moment. Therapists and coaches are a wealth of information and support.
6. A quick fix to feel good and connect with yourself, is the simple application of a nourishing moisturizer. When your skin feels good, so do you! When the skin is kneaded, it increases the oxygen and blood circulation in the area. Our brain then releases an assortment of feel-good chemicals that alleviate stress and anxiety. Use this luxurious Seaweed Body Butter. A light non-greasy formula that is highly moisturizing, soothing, and bursting with nature’s best. Fast absorbing and smelling great, it has therapeutic essential oils of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Sweet Orange, and Rosemary. This is holistic skin care, with self massage on hands, feet, and full body. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma and the benefits of vitamins (A, C, E), fresh seaweed, anti-oxidants, and essential oils to protect the skin and improve elasticity over time. Keeps the skin toned and youthful. The Seaweed Body Butter makes a great gardeners cream.
7. Learn to use these massage and stress relieving tools included in this wellness gift set. Add to your collection as you expand your knowledge on what is available on the marketplace and what suits your needs. Foam rollers and massage canes are awesome, as are yoga balance balls. A yoga mat is also a must have and will come in very useful.
8. Hand Grip Strengthener Ring: An easy to use and quiet tool for use at home, at the office, or on the go. It can be used to relieve stress, help you self regulate, and help improve overall strength in the fingers, hands, wrist, and forearms. Great tool to use when you are frustrated. Helps with grip strength – so it’s great for rehabilitation and sports training too!
9. Accu Reflex Spiky Massage Ball: Roll away tension and muscle knots with deep tissue body massage and trigger point tension release, by simply leaning into and rolling on the ball. Great for full body massage on the back, arms, legs, feet, and hands. Try the shoulder blade region up against a flat wall surface. Lean your shoulder blade into the ball and roll around it, keeping the ball tight against the wall. If you are doing trigger point release, ensure you breathe in and out to bring oxygen and circulation to ease the tension. Hold on the trigger point at least 30 seconds to one minute, while maintaining deep mindful breathing and exhalation. Try rolling the ball along the bottom on your foot; to help relieve pain from Plantar Fasciitis, or just get a nice energy boosting foot massage. Stand on the ball against the ground and slowly rock and roll to deepen the massage. Make sure to keep a steady balance, or sit down while you are performing that maneuver.
10. Keep your body moving. Strengthen, resistance training, and interval cardio is the best way to keep your body going strong. Also frequency matters. We all know being sedentary is bad for our health and yet we do it all the time. The human body was not designed to sit in the same crouched position, for hours on end. A good rule of thumb is to get up for one to two minutes every 30 minutes. Set a reminder on your fitness tracker or phone.
11. Keep hydrated. Drink water and lots of it, it’s important to stay hydrated. Soak away tension and help transdermally hydrate the body – in baths, hot tubs, and thermal pools. Add magnesium to your baths by adding 1 to 2 cups of simple epsom salts. You can find it at your local pharmacy.
12. Stretch your muscles; to keep them lengthened and supple, instead of bound up in knots. Do random stretches at odd times of the day; like while you are talking on the phone, waiting for the bus, or reading this guide. Another way to add a little movement to your day is to make a conscious effort to walk over to a coworkers desk instead of sending them an email or go for a walking meeting together. We encourage you to take a couple of stretch breaks throughout your day, to get your body moving to help avoid muscle fatigue and long-term health issues from being overly sedentary. Ensure you are counteracting all the sitting and ill computer posture you most likely have. Get up and walk around whenever you think of it. If you are working from home these days, you don’t get to go to the water cooler as often, or do any commuting for that matter; so make sure you make the time somewhere, somehow.
13. Steam and sauna rooms feel great, as does contrast bathing with a nordic plunge pool or shower. (Important: If you have any underlying heart or medical conditions, please consult with your doctor prior to taking this step.) Adjust your shower’s water temperature, or fill a bath to run the coldest water you can stand. You can increase the coldness, the more you get used to this practice. Allow the cold water to refresh your skin for five to ten seconds – while breathing deeply. Deep breathing is crucial here to ensure your skin and body reap all the benefits of this temperature shock to your system.* You can increase the benefit with hydrotherapy, by going back and forth between hot and cold, a few times. If you want to be alert after – finish with a cold water rinse. If you want to go to sleep, finish with warm water rinse. Either way, when you finish, you’ll feel fantastic!
14. Take care of yourself. You are important and loved. If ever you incur an injury or have a persisting pain that just won’t go away, make sure to book yourself a doctor’s visit, or physiotherapy appointment; to see what’s going on. A lot of the time some simple procedures and exercises can be prescribed – to help solve it. Be preventative with your body and mind health and persistent. Take care and be kind to yourself and others along the way.

* This is an ancient Scandinavian hydrotherapy treatment that dates back thousands of years. It is an effective way of releasing tensions in both – the mind and the body. The cycle of applying heat, then a cold shock, followed by a short period of relaxation energizes and rests the body. It can improve blood circulation and activate the lymphatic system to help detoxification. As a bonus, it also actively promotes the release of endorphins – making you feel great!

A deluxe, luxurious, and now premium signature muscle relief gift set, featuring a Healing From The Ocean Advanced Body Detox Wellness Kit. Inside the detox kit, you’ll discover thalassotherapy. With hand-harvested Pacific seaweed from the Northern Coast of British Columbia. It’s one of the most concentrated seaweed personal care products in the world! This highly detoxifying and therapeutic soak contains 98% pure raw Pacific Macrocystis seaweed. It includes mineral-rich Canadian glacial clay high in vital micro minerals, fatty acids, vitamins, and a range of other nutrients that feed the skin. In the kit, you’ll find a user instruction and product information sheet. This breaks down the various ailments and concerns these holistic skin and body care products can address.

Otherwise, you can follow along with this premium guided experience – for a royal, tension soothing escape, just steps away in your own private oasis.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your space according to the experience you would like.
2. From the dry 6” Seaweed Frond included, cut a 1-2 inch piece off, to later use over the eyes during the treatment.
3. Start filling the bathtub with warm water. The ideal temperature is only a few degrees above our internal temperature of 37 degrees, so ideally your bath should be between 40 to 45 degrees. Preference and room temperature will make things vary. Avoid using exceedingly hot water, as it tends to dry out the skin. While starting the filling of the tub, add 1.5 oz of the Pacific Seaweed Soak/Concentrate. Once the tub is filled to the desired bathing level (the deeper the better), toss all the seaweed fronds into the warm bath. You can also soak these separately in a small bowl of warm – hot water for at least 10 minutes prior to using any time.
4. While you wait for your muscle soothing soak to fill: using clean hands, combine in a shatterproof bowl, scoop out 3.5 tablespoons of Green Tea Seaweed Salt Glow. To boost detox and re-mineralization benefits add ½ tsp of Pacific Seaweed Concentrate/Soak to this mixture and add just a few drops of drinking water. Mix well. Make sure your hands and tablespoon are clean and dry when handling the products from their main containers; to ensure they last longer, without risk of contamination.
5. Disrobe, step into the warm shower, and quickly wet your body.
6. Turn off the water and gently apply the freshly mixed scrub by scooping a small amount of the mixture in your hands. Hold the scrub in your enclosed palms for a few seconds to warm it. Massage the scrub in gentle circular motions across your entire body, avoiding the face. If your facial skin is tough enough, you could use the liquid at the bottom of the bowl, avoiding as many salt granules as possible on the face and décolleté (i.e. your neck, chest, cleavage, as these areas have more delicate skin). There’s no need to scrub hard, just let the product do the work. Avoid applying to any sensitive areas, and on any damaged or broken skin. The scrub on your body should feel a little gritty as you apply it. However, if it is not gliding smoothly, moisten your hands with a little warm water and re-apply until it glides easier. Sometimes the exfoliation may feel active on the skin, but quickly subsides.
7. With salt still on your body, carefully immerse yourself into the tub. You made it to the soak. Deep inhale…Hold….Long, slow exhale. Try that 4-7-8 breathing: Breathe in through your nose 1-2-3-4. Hold 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Exhale out your mouth 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Repeat as needed.
8. Give yourself a heart hug: place your hands over the center of your chest. Take a deep breath in and long exhale out your mouth. While keeping your hands over your chest, think self affirming positive thoughts and connect to your inner self.
9. Those seaweed fronds soaking in your tub with you: take the large piece and gently massage over the face and neck. Fronds help to soothe, heal, reduce redness, and infuse minerals into the skin. Massage the gel secreted from the seaweed frond, onto your skin, for it to be transdermally absorbed. Simply place the fronds back in the bath water as you soak. You can use them again massaging your entire body with the large piece.
10. When you are ready – no rush here. Secure the optional hair band, to prepare yourself for Hydra Skin Renewal Facial Mask, while you relax in your re-mineralizing soak. This formula is created with therapeutic ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, magnesium vitamin C, and 98+% plus whole Pacific seaweed with pure essential oils, showing remarkable effects to restore the youthful qualities of the skin. Only ½ to 1 teaspoons maximum is required. Mix in 5 drops of Seaweed Concentrate to the mask, in the palm of your hand. Apply the mask in a thin layer over the face, neck and décolleté; using your hands. (Make sure you avoid rubbing the mask in, as it is not a moisturizer. You are applying over top of the skin.) Relax with the mask on for 10-20 minutes two to three times a week. Fantastic mask to apply before full makeup application, as it will hydrate the skin and allow your makeup to lay smooth.
11. Those seaweed fronds soaking in your tub – take the piece you cut for the eyes and gently place the frond over your eyelids. When the seaweed fronds are hydrated, there is a clear gel that is secreted. Apply the pre-moistened seaweed frond piece over the eyes. If possible, twist the seaweed frond in the middle and place the ends of the frond over the eyelids until the mask is removed. (You can even place a damp face cloth over top of the fronds, if they need securing.) This will help to address dryness, puffiness, and fine lines around the eyes. Very soothing for tired eyes.
12. Take at least 20 minutes here to clear your mind with focus on your breath. We recommend following the 4-7-8 breathing technique: Inhale for 4 seconds. Hold your breath for 7 seconds. Then exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat three or more times – as often as you’d like. The longer the better. Lay back with support. If you have a bath pillow, or rolled towel, you can place it behind your head or neck.
13. As you relax in the tub, you can use the Accu Reflex Spiky Massage Ball to roll over your body. Roll away tension and muscle knots with deep tissue body massage and trigger point tension release – by leaning into the ball. Great for full body massage on the back, arms, legs, feet, and hands. Try the shoulder blade region up against the back of the tub. Lean your shoulder blade into the ball and roll around it – keeping the ball tight against the wall. If you are doing trigger point release, ensure you breathe in and out to bring oxygen and circulation to ease the tension. Hold on the trigger point at least 30 seconds to one minute, while maintaining deep mindful breathing and exhalation. Try rolling the ball along the bottom on your foot; to help relieve pain from Plantar Fasciitis, or just get a nice energy boosting foot massage.
14. Should you wish to give yourself a bit of a nourishing hair and scalp treatment. Take 1 teaspoon at a time of the pacific concentrate into your hands and begin a gentle scalp massage adding more seaweed water as needed and running the seaweed water through the hair. You won’t need to add more than one tablespoon in total. Focus some attention on acupressure points located at the base of the neck, temples, and forehead. Wrap hair in a towel if possible, while the product sits, even a plastic bag will do. Tied up snug after covering the hair. This therapeutic treatment promotes an infusion of minerals and rebalancing of the scalp’s natural pH. Helps to detoxify and replenish the scalp and hair. Revitalizing hair texture and hydration. Also helpful to reduce falling and thinning hair. Hair is left healthy and shiny. It is recommended to keep the concentrate on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before washing out completely with cool clean water.
15. When you are ready to get out of the tub, carefully lift yourself out of the bath onto a secure bath mat.
16. Half way – dry your skin off with a soft clean bath towel. While your skin is still damp, apply 2 to 3 pumps of the Green Tea Indian Spice Body Serum into the palms of your hands and distribute to various areas of the body. Go back over these areas thoroughly massaging in the oil. Take particular attention to areas of concern.
17. Lock in all the nutrients you’ve indulged yourself with, by applying 3 tablespoons of the Seaweed Body Butter. A little goes a long way, so be mindful of how much you use. You do not need to apply a moisturizer after applying body oil, but if you have dry skin, or it’s cold outside; you can not go wrong with a little extra for a nice treat, especially at night when your skin will repair itself.
18. Put on your favorite plush bath robe, or get right into your pajamas and head off to bed, for a wonderful deep sleep. If you are starting a relaxing day with this ritual; simply take a few moments to enjoy the inner calm. Wrap your hair up in a towel, to keep you warm. Lay down to enjoy some stillness.
19. Give yourself a heart hug: place your hands over the center of your chest. Take a deep breath in and long exhale out your mouth. While keeping your hands over your chest, think self affirming positive thoughts and connect to your inner self.
20. If you need any extra muscle pain relief, you can use the cryoderm products once your skin is good and dry.
21. Seaweed frond can be reused up to 6 times. After use, rinse the pieces and shake off excess water. Place in a zip lock bag or closed container and keep in the fridge or freezer for 2-3 weeks. Once the seaweed pieces break down to smaller pieces, feed this to your houseplants. They will love it! Reduce, reuse, recycle, renew.
