Daily Mindfulness

Kelly Moore • 1 January 2023

Mindfulness has become a bit of a buzzword in recent years, but if you can cut through the noise, you might find something that truly impacts you. If you find that life can be overwhelming or you struggle to find peace within yourself, daily mindfulness practice is a good place to start.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness in this context is defined as:


"a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique."


It has similarities to meditation, as both aim for calmness. However, meditation typically aims to empty the mind, which can be difficult to achieve. Often, this is frustrating in itself, which completely defeats the object! Mindfulness, in contrast, aims to tune in to what you're feeling, and let the thoughts pass when they're ready. The act of taking the time to zone in on your own experience can be deeply calming, and simultaneously energising. Therefore some people find that it's a great way to start the day, and well worth building into their daily routine.


Mindfulness practice can be as simple and accessible as going for a walk and letting your focus fall on the present moment. What do you observe around you? What do you feel physically and emotionally? Tuning into these features and tuning out of everything else can take you to a new mental state in which you feel calmer and more focused.


How Can Mindfulness Become a Daily Part of My Life?

There are so many different avenues to try. If you have tried mindfulness techniques in the past that haven't suited you, try something else, such as:


  • Gratitude journals
  • Adult colouring books
  • Mindfulness podcasts and apps


Some people find that a combination of approaches work best for them, such as regular reiki, less frequent journaling, and taking a walk with focus and intent. In a similar vein to the colouring books, any repetitive but calming hobby can help you achieve a mindful state. Knitting or crochet could work for you, with the added bonus of being left with something that you've made yourself!


Mindfulness at Rejuvenate Within

We offer therapies for body and mind at Rejuvenate Within. You might even find that some treatments have a secondary mindfulness effect- having a massage and laying still with your eyes closed might be the perfect environment for you to focus on your own feelings and let them wash over you.


Kelly is currently studying to provide reiki for her clients in Cheshire. Reiki is non invasive, with the practice moving the body's energy without physical touch. Clients typically leave a reiki session feeling profoundly relaxed. Practice your mindfulness during a reiki session to combine that relaxation with a feeling of peace.

The Key to Hydration

by Kelly Moore • 1 March 2023
Hydration is important for a number of reasons- not just for skin. Well hydrated skin is more plump and elastic. It's also stronger, and looks more healthy than dehydrated skin.

The Benefits of Sleep for Skin and Body

by Kelly Moore • 1 February 2023
We all know that sleep is vital for health- but what are the details? The first signs of getting insufficient sleep are often psychological, cognitive, and emotional. Physical changes might take longer to manifest, but eye-bags might develop pretty quickly in response to being under-slept.

Why Our Bodies Need to Move

by Kelly Moore • 1 December 2022
We all know that we need to keep active, but have you ever wondered exactly why? There are a myriad of benefits to physical movement, both in preventing new issues from arising, and managing existing problems.

The Power Ingredients Your Skin Needs

by Kelly Moore • 1 November 2022
Although there is no "one size fits all" skincare routine, there are some key ingredients that we all need. Some of these compounds can be found in diet or produced by the body itself, but most can also be absorbed from products applied directly to the skin. We offer facials and other treatments that incorporate some of these ingredients where appropriate- read more about our therapies here .

The Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

by Kelly Moore • 1 October 2022
At Rejuvenate Within, we offer a range of massage therapies- you can read more about what's on offer here . But have you ever wondered why we utilise massage, and why it helps you feel better? The power of touch We are hard wired to benefit from physical touch from someone else. Combine this with the context of a cosy, relaxing treatment room, and maybe some oils, and your body and mind will soon be ready to be thoroughly relaxed. Touch can be especially beneficial when you are suffering with pain. There's a reason we instinctively apply pressure to an injury- it helps to override the nervous system and take the edge off the pain. Massage can give a similar effect in three different ways : directly overriding the way pain is processed (analgesic touch) breaking down psychological or emotional barriers to pain relief (affective touch) showing the body that pain is not warranted, and that this touch is safe (somatoperceptual touch)

Kelly Moore: Why I Do What I Do

by Kelly Moore • 1 September 2022
Kelly is the director and lead practitioner at Rejuvenate Within. What do you do and what is your background? I am both a holistic practitioner and a Dermalogica professional skin therapist. Holistic practitioner As a Holistic practitioner I use the body's natural healing abilities to treat. I use a number of therapies, such as massage therapy, reiki, reflexology, acupressure points, crystal healing, cleansing, life coaching and more. Holistic health is about caring for the whole person: it's about honouring the mind-body connection and treating the whole person providing for your physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs. The foundations are rooted in the understanding that all these aspects affect your overall health, and being unwell in one aspect affects you in others. With all of these points considered, it's also about developing a strong relationship with a doctor who is committed to getting you healthy and keeping you that way. A holistic therapist helps to empower you with the education and motivation to make good choices. Rather than suggesting a long list of lifestyle changes, they include you in the conversation and help you determine which changes would make the greatest impact on your health. They help you set wellness goals and then provide you with resources — whether that's a personalised plan or a referral to a specialist. Dermalogica professional skin therapist I am also a Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist. The qualification behind the title is recognised by The International Dermal Institute and is a step towards becoming a skin care expert. My background I’ve always been into health and fitness, and I love nature and the outdoors. From the ages of 16-18 I was a race jockey. Then between 18 and 24 I moved to the fitness industry, working my way up to a level 3 personal trainer, class co-ordinator, spin class instructor and gym coach. I started to dabble within the beauty industry, I wasn't sure why I didn't really like beauty (doing nails and waxing for example), but it led me to skin working with Dermalogica. I loved the science behind skin and helping clients meet their skin goals. Skin led me to opening my own clinic to go more away from level 2 beauty completely and focus more on private skin care. My health then changed my life again, and led me to my holistic path. This was always waiting for me, even though I didn’t know it.
