Hair is the crowning glory of men and women alike. But in the modern world, the problem of hair loss has become commonplace due to several reasons. But whatever the reason, it negatively affects the self-esteem of a person. Apart from its cosmetic concerns, it is an indication of a deeper health issue and therefore we need to dive deeper into the causes and find the resolution.
Here is a primer on how to beat this problem and get back your lustrous healthy locks:
Nutrition
‘Food is thy medicine’ – is the most relevant axiom that applies to hair growth, and I have observed it several times in my practice as a health coach. Whether the hairloss happened because of PCOS or thyroid dysfunction or telogen effluvium (temporary hair loss due to stress), the clients could completely reverse it. The body needs all the nutrients in balanced quantities and if there are any deficiencies or imbalances, it first caters to the needs of the rest of the organs and directs it towards the hair only once the requirements for the rest of the organs are met. So it is important to take a diet with the proper balance of all the macro and micronutrients. You may Reiki your food before ingesting it and set the intention- ‘This meal nourishes every cell of my body including my hair. Thank you Universe for this wonderful meal’.
Reiki
The ritual of full body Reiki helps to optimize all the chakras to the state of balance. It relieves stress, improves your digestion, assimilation and improves your immunity. Better digestion is equivalent to better hormones and definitely faster and better hair growth. If you practice Reiki regularly for three months, you would see all the amazing benefits on hair because that is the minimum time that hair takes to complete its life cycle. So give it enough time to recover from the damage.
Visualization
Every morning and evening, set aside a few minutes to practice visualization for healthy hair. Here is a brief exercise that you can adopt:
- Sit quietly (away from any distractions) and breathe deeply for 2-3 minutes or until your thoughts subside or slow down.
- Imagine yourself standing in front of the dressing table of your home and combing your hair. See your hair as voluminous, long, healthy and as you wish to see. Make it as vivid as you can. Access the feeling you would have if your hair were already like that. Don’t let any interference from your internal dialogue. Remember there are no limits to what you can have and you deserve to have the best hair possible. Run your hands through your smooth hair, feel its texture, smell it and feel the confidence. Put on your perfume and feel ready to rock the world.
- Imagine you have reached your workplace or home, with that hair and people appreciating how wonderful you look with that beautiful hair. Thank them for the compliments. Stay relaxed.
- Reach back home with that hair and then sleep with it. Now you may open your eyes and let it go.
Affirmations
Refrain from any negative self-talk about your hair. Instead use affirmations for healthy hair:
- I have super soft, healthy and voluminous hair.
- I take care of my hair.
- I love my hair.
- My hair is wonderful.
- My hair grows strong and thick every day.
Give your body and mind the stuff it needs and watch your hair grow in abundance. Our body is one unit and anything that shows up on hair is simply an indication from your body what it needs. Listen to it intuitively and it will do what it needs to do.
Love and light
