Did You Know Tummy & Heart Massage Boosts Self-Worth and Calm?
By stimulating tummy nerves you can help support self-esteem and digestion. A great time I find to do this is at night before bed, helping the internal systems and organs to relax and reset overnight.
How to Apply Oil:
-
Take a small pea-sized amount of carrier oil (sweet almond oil, grapeseed, or your favourite massage blend).
-
Warm the oil in your hands.
-
Apply to your tummy and belly button, massaging in circular, clockwise motions until absorbed.
-
This supports digestion, self-esteem, and nervous system balance.
Tip: Add essential oils like Sweet Orange + Geranium to enhance calm and emotional uplift.
Heart Massage for Self-Love
Alongside your tummy massage, a gentle heart-space massage encourages self-compassion and emotional balance:
-
Rub a few drops of oil between your palms.
-
Place your hands over your chest and massage in small circles around the heart and collarbone.
-
Breathe deeply, letting the oil’s scent lift your mood and release tension.
This practice gently encourages oxytocin release, promoting calm, contentment, and self-love.
Why It Works
-
Oxytocin (“love hormone”) increases feelings of calm and security
-
Tender touch supports:
-
Skin & hair health
-
Immune system balance
-
Lower cortisol (stress hormone)
-
Endorphin release for natural pain relief
-
-
Regular self-massage creates a repeatable ritual of self-care and mindfulness
