Circadian Rhythm Beauty And The Cosmos

Over the years I have tried a large amount of herbs, supplements, adaptogens, all for health and beauty. Once, I really started to study the Circadian Rhythm and the key role it plays in defining the health of the body, mind, and spirit, I wanted to bridge the gap between nature, and our relationship with it, how the relationship with nature defines our relationship with the cosmos, how beauty and health are the key rituals to ground us in nature and tie all these loose strands together to create a holistic perception and daily life revolved around spiritual growth with ourselves and this planet Earth. 

Starting with the most basic of cosmological influence on this Earth is the acknowledgment of day and night. Day being gifted to us by the glorious Sun the energetic expression of the ego externalized, and night an even greater gift to offer us the reflection of the inner workings of the cosmos through our emotional body the Moon. Nature thrives on these two most basic aspects and so do we. All of Earth’s creatures thrive on this cycle of action and rest and its controlledby this shift from light to darkness. Thus the Circadian Rhythm was my spark of how to create a relationship with nature and help others to change their perception on the role nature and the cosmos play in our every day life. 

By supporting the Circadian Rhythm with nutrition you will find yourself becoming closer to your bodyand its inner workings and will feel and see your own beauty develop. When you sense your body is more energetic, your mind is calm, your feelings are balanced,  your beauty can flourish and you will have gratitude for what the cosmos and nature have provided you. Thus you will sense how to give back to others and nature its self. 

There are a handful of nutritional staples that over the years no matter what I introduce or am playing with and testing, these are tried and true.They not only help your skin to look radiant and clear they help support the Circadian Rhythm in innumerable ways.  Eluethero, Collagen, Tocotrienols , and Camu Camu. There are 13 vitamins that are an absolute must for the body and 9 amino acids that we as humans cannot synthesize. These four staples pretty much cover all those but a few. 

Eleuthero is amazing for the Circadian Rhythm it helps the adrenal glands to maintain their levels of vitamin C which is crucial in controlling cortisol output into the body, and it has your fat soluble vitamins such as A and D. Eleuthero also has your water soluble vitaminsB, B1, and C which are needed more often because the body utilizes these faster and are not stored in the fat tissue of the body. Eleuthero also supports noradrenalin and serotonin for quicker recovery from stress, improves oxygen uptake during physical activity, improves learning and memory, protects against environmental pollutants, regulates blood sugar levels just to name a few. 

Collagen from Beef, sorry to those vegans out their but I take beef collagen. I have not done research on plant collagen but that is next on my list to have options for all lifestyle choices. Collagen contains all your needed amino acids for healthy tissue growth in the entire body including skin, teeth, hair, and nails. Boosts skins moisture levels and plumps the skin through support and maintenance of skins natural collagen and elastin production!! Since amino acids are the building blocks to all the proteins needed in the body and proteins are the being used to create neural chemicals with in the body this directly encourages healthy Circadian Rhythm. 

Tocotrienols are an amazing source of vitamin E which is a much needed antioxidant in the body and are more powerful in tocopherol (other form of vitamin E). Tocotrienols have been found in studies to improve insulin sensitivity, protect vital brain circuitry, prevent bone loss, protects skin from photo damage, and free radical damage in skin. If the bodies inflammation is lowered its easier for the body to repair itself at night in turn calls for a more fulfilling night of sleep.

Camu Camu berry from South America is an amazing form of vitamin C and we all know that vitamin C is amazing for the skin topically and internally helping with collagen and elastin, clarity and skin’s vitality. Camu Camu berry is another super antioxidant for internal inflammation and lowered internal inflammation leads to better health and less auto immune issues. Above in the paragraph I mentioned Eleuthero and its affects on vitamin C in the adrenal glands. If your adrenals get low in vitamin c content they release more cortisol putting the body under more stress and inflammation. Since cortisol wakes you up in the morning your sleep patterns will be more erratic and your melatonin production will be off compromising yet again the amount of inflammation wrecking havoc on the entire body. 

Circadian Rhythm and beauty can be enhanced with just a few simple nutritional changes. Its best to evaluate your day and night cycles and how you can integrate more beauty as wellness in your life to align you with the cosmos.

Simple Rituals For Your Heart During Venus Retrograde In Aries

During Venus Retrograde in Aries I want to offer a few rituals that can be administered anytime of the day or evening. These simple rituals will center you and offer you space to align yourself with nature, your heart, your soul, and the cosmos. Once Venus retrograde moves into Pisces I will offer another set of simple rituals for the same alignments of nature, heart, soul, and cosmos. 

Rituals for Aries: 

Sit in a calm place preferably outside, if that does not permit then in a quiet place where you may have privacy indoors. Listen to your heart as you breath, calm your heart beat. Have a flower or beloved plant near you, or you may hold the flower or plant close to your heart. Also,  take a favorite all natural fragrance or my Transit of Venus Inspiring Facial Mist and spray your face or with the fragrance, your body with the scent. Breathe deeply three times. Focus on opening the heart and ask your plant or flower to converse with you. Ask it what you can offer it in return for its spirit to assist you, then listen to the knowledge it may offer you. This takes practice, because we must learn to listen to nature. Just feel and listen. Once you have given yourself and your plant or flower sometime, offer your gratitude and keep to what you should offer the plant in return for its gift to you. 

Burn some sage or palo santo wood while you restfully sit and do your clean skincare and makeup routine, make each step a conscious action of love for yourself and also imagine the faces of those you care for and send them your love as well.

Write a little note in your diary or on a piece of paper giving yourself and someone else a compliment and give it to yourself and give the other person their compliment. 

Take your favorite scent or any of the Kosmologically Influenced Facial Mists and take a minute to administer them, then breathe deeply three times with your eyes closed. Once you have opened your eyes take a look around you and find a unique detail of beauty that surrounds you. Feel the gratitude that you have for it. 

Beauty and spirit are one in the same. Align yourself with the cosmos…                         

Unveiling of the Transit of Venus

The Transit of Venus Inspiring Facial Mist, was created for two reasons one being very personal, the first being that I found myself at a cross roads with my heart. My heart was hurt, not just the kind of hurt from a failed marriage or a loved one leaving, but my hurt stemmed from not truly feeling the profound adventure of what, who, and whom I am becoming and even have been.  The Transit of Venus, is about inspiring the inner search and connection to my soul. Its about the process I am and will always be in as I unfold. Its the realization that I was so close to spirit as a child and let my life be influenced and enticed into a world that believed that material reality was with out this deeply held knowing of a deeper and greater realm where emotion and the foundation of time and space grows from. I lost myself and my connection to the cosmos. For so many years I have dreamt, heard, seen, things that others dismiss as not real but I know are. I found myself living in a society and trying to survive in it instead of thriving amongst it.  It caused me deep pain and at times it still does. My own inner struggle to follow my heart and stop my analytical mind from being separate instead of connected, and being amongst people I could not share my truth with, built me up to such a breaking point that I felt like I was going mad. It did bring out my anger, my frustration, and my sense of isolation and separation I have always felt, and that I feel more comfortable with out another person then with one.

 The Transit of Venus, I formulated to open myself up, to allow my heart to feel its utter vulnerability and go through the pain that it has been carrying. Through that I have found the darkest shadows and the greatest talents that I possess and have unlocked the gifts that I had concealed so deeply. I am understanding what love truly is, not the word, but love itself as an entity that is alive and growing just as a child in the womb. 

I am not perfect, but I am navigating what and who belongs in my life, and what value it has, and how much energy it deserves. Sounds simple but its a process. I am continuing to find my place in society while still being true to my spiritual longings for the two to coexist and support one another. Hence, thats why I started Kosmologically Influenced. 

The second reason I created the Transit of Venus, was for my objective observations and my astrological interpretation of the state of metamorphosis that the world is in. Since the last  astronomical Transit of Venus that occurred in June of 2012 a quickening of the imbalance between the feminine and the masculine in the psyche of our culture is so profound that its created a line between people, actually its unveiled all the multitudes of lines of separation between the Earth and the species that inhabit it. Us being the species causing such disarray and destruction to our only home. Im cool with Elon Musk but I personally don't want to resort to living on Mars. The astronomical Transit of Venus’s passage is trying to open us (humans) to our own internal projections onto the cosmos as a reflection back to us that somewhere in the deepest parts of our hearts and subconscious that we want to change the path of separation from spirit that we have been on for eons. Finding the balance between the feminine and masculine, spirit and technology (materialism) , is our greatest challenge in my opinion. 

The Transit of Venus, which was created to assist, as a part of the beauty ritual to align ourselves with our inner voice, to listen to our intuition, to enter a place of peace, so that we may not be distracted from the parts of the day that keep us from our true purpose, to share love, be of service to others, to drop the selfish part of the ego, and experience the divinity in nature, our bodies, our minds, and in our hearts, within ones self and within another. The ancients used the art of cosmetics (meaning order) as a ritual of mindfulness. If you perceive your beauty, you open your heart, then you have altered your perception to grow within yourself.  When you align your heart and your mind with nature you align yourself with the cosmos.  

The unveiling of the Transit of Venus, is my gift to you on Valentines’s Day. My gift to sincerely give, be of service, and hopefully offer support to your inner journey on this planet Earth as it is supporting mine.
