Lately, I've been on a journey—one that's pushed me to re-examine my approach to well-being. In a world that constantly demands more of us, it's easy to get swept up in a “go-go-go” mentality, forgetting the importance of stillness and ease. For a while, I was trapped in this cycle of doing and achieving, until my body spoke up and forced me to listen. Here’s what happened and what it taught me about finding balance, both within and on my skin.

The Story:

Recently, I found myself feeling disconnected from my health and well-being. I was deep in “masculine energy”—always focused on taking action, getting things done, and checking items off my endless list. I was going non-stop, without taking time to pause and breathe.

In the midst of this busy period, I started experiencing persistent pain in my right arm, hand, and shoulder. It felt relentless; nothing seemed to help. I tried acupuncture, massages, and researched all the best pain-relief methods. Still, nothing changed. I kept questioning myself—“What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?”

Then it hit me: our bodies are always speaking to us, sometimes in very literal ways. For me, the pain was a clear message: I was carrying too much weight on my shoulders, both physically and emotionally, grasping too tightly onto outcomes and struggling to let go.After sitting with these realizations (and with some uncomfortable emotions), I understood that I had been putting in too much effort, and not enough space for reflection or pause.

I was looking outward for answers when I needed to be looking within. The pain was my body’s way of urging me to soften, to release my grip, and to allow things to flow naturally. Almost immediately after this realization, the pain began to ease.

I was reminded that true well-being isn’t about constantly pushing forward but about finding ease—allowing softness and surrender to take their place in our lives.



This experience was a reminder to me (and perhaps to you) that healing is a journey of uncovering our deeper dimensions. It’s about listening to our bodies, finding moments of stillness, and allowing ease to replace effort.

As a part of this journey, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of mindful beauty rituals that encourage calm and connection.

That’s why our Global Calm Soothing Face Oil holds a special place in my self-care routine—it's my way to slow down, breathe deeply, and soothe both my skin and spirit.

As you move through this month, I invite you to find your own moments of ease.

Whether it's through skincare, meditation, or simply taking a break from “doing,” let's soften, let go, and let ourselves flow.

With love & calm,
Lina
