Julie shares her extensive knowledge about face mapping and how different areas of the face correlate to different organs and emotions, and explains techniques like gua sha massage that can help reduce inflammation and drain lymph nodes.Julie emphasises the importance of gentle, loving touch when working on the face. She encourages deep breathing to relax the body and reduce stress. Julie also suggests tracking what triggers feelings of overwhelm in order to reorganize one's energy and set better boundaries. She recommends expressing emotions through healthy outlets like exercise or screaming into pillows.Julie provides insights into what different facial features could indicate in terms of emotional patterns and health. The discussion covered topics like the mind-body connection, traditional Chinese medicine concepts, and ways to support overall wellness through simple lifestyle shifts and self-care practices. It was a fascinating look at holistic facial treatments and the wisdom the face holds.Some key takeaways from the discussion include:- Different areas of the face correlate to different organs and can provide insights into emotional patterns and health issues.- Gentle gua sha and facial massage techniques can help reduce inflammation, drain lymph nodes, and support overall wellness.- Deep, relaxed breathing is important for reducing stress and tension on the body and internal organs.- For the mouth, a straight line where the top and bottom lips meet can indicate someone who is straightforward, honest and direct in their communication. A wavy line could mean they have challenges with transparency and sharing everything openly.- Looking into someone's left eye rather than their right eye if you want to truly get to know them. Julie explained that the right side of the face is more practiced and armored, as it's what we show to the world in social interactions and media.Links:Julie's Instagram @julieciviellopolierWebsite:  https://www.julieciviellopolier.com/How To Glow: 4 Weeks To Radiant Skin Health: https://www.julieciviellopolier.com/how-to-glowGua Sha & Crystal Massage: Techniques for Healthy, Clear, and Glowing Skin By: Julie Civiello Polier ____Connect with us @the.selfishpodcast @chloe_cocks @conscious.consulting.cc @ninelemonsfengshui 2026 The Woman Within retreat6 days, 5 nights from 15 - 20 July 2026This is an invitation to journey to the woman within.Join us for an all-inclusive retreat designed for women to reconnect with themselves, prioritise their well-being, and tap into their deeper desires and power.All details here.Mailing listSign up to our mailing list to be the first to know what we are up to.Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoyed the show.  If you liked what you heard there are a number of ways you can show your support ❤️- share with a  friend- give us a 5 star review on your podcast platform Thank you again and see you next week  xx Chloe & Steph
