Reclaiming Inner Strength: Synergy Wellness's Path to Empowered Healing

Yoga nidra was devised by Swami Satyananda Saraswati in the early sixties and is  a practice and a state of consciousness that exists between wakefulness and sleep. This ancient yogic practice is also known as "yogic sleep,"  and serves as a profound form of meditation that offers deep relaxation. Yoga nidra is an accessible form of meditation that beginners and experience meditators can enjoy.   Unlike many other meditation practices, you don't need any previous experience in yoga or meditation. Lying down in Savasana, or sitting up supported by cushions for 10 minutes can provide the benefits of meditation, making it highly accessible for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. The traditional practice of yoga nidra (as taught by    Swami Satyananda Saraswati)  typically begins with setting an intention or sankalpa, which is a positive statement or affirmation that aligns with your deepest desires and goals. This intention is repeated mentally...

Scars are an important part of the healing process, and properly healed scars should exhibit certain characteristics. Here are some key points to know about scars. Properly healed scars should not be painful and should have a normal color. They should also be soft, flat, flexible, and move with the surrounding skin. [1] Abnormal scars, on the other hand, can show various characteristics such as being thick, rough, lumpy, dimpled, or puckered. They may also be less flexible and mobile than healthy skin, and can appear paler or redder than the surrounding skin. [1] Scarring can be influenced by different factors, including systemic inflammation, poor wound healing due to infection, genetics (keloids can run in certain families), the depth and size of the wound, the amount of tissue lost or removed, pre-existing health conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart, kidney, liver issues), age, stress, smoking, and excessive tension or rubbing of the scar before it has fully healed. [1] [2] To prevent ...

Scars are a natural part of the body's healing process, but their appearance and potential discomfort can affect individuals both physically and emotionally. Scar massage is an effective  technique that offers  benefits for improving scar appearance, promoting tissue healing, and enhancing overall well-being. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of scar massage, exploring its advantages and why it should be considered an essential part of your scar management. Enhanced Circulation and Tissue Elasticity Scar tissue tends to be less flexible and more prone to adhesions than normal skin. Regular scar massage helps increase blood flow to the area, promoting oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues. This improved circulation aids in softening and loosening the scar tissue, making it more pliable and reducing stiffness. Increased tissue elasticity can contribute to improved range of motion and reduced discomfort around the scar site. (1) Minimized Scar Hypertrophy and ...

As scars mature, they can become hard and raised, adhering to underlying tissue or muscle. To promote  scar healing, I suggest that you massage the scar using moderate pressure and a slow, circular motion  with your fingertips. This technique helps in achieving a flatter and softer scar as it matures. To aid in lubrication during the massage and nourish the scar and surrounding skin, I recommended  that you use a vitamin E oil or balm with no perfume or chemicals as part of your scar management  routine.  Vitamin E is easily absorbed by the skin and acts as a nutrient and antioxidant, possessing anti- inflammatory and skin-healing properties. Initially, it may feel strange to touch your scar, but regular massages can help  desensitize the area and reduce sensitivity over time. Following a consistent scar management, routine  not only assists in scar healing and increased flexibility but also stimulates the production of new  collagen, resulti...

If you choose to conceal your scar with a tattoo, make sure the scar has completely healed. The healing process usually takes up to 18 months to 2 years, so getting a tattoo over your scar should  not  be done before that time. It is important to note that tattooing over your scar will not change the texture of the scar or make it disappear. If you decide to get a tattoo, it is crucial to choose an experienced tattoo artist who has worked on people with similar scars. Ask to see photos of their previous work covering scars before scheduling your tattoo appointment. Additionally, be aware that the scar may not hold the ink, and inquire whether the initial tattoo price includes any subsequent visits. After six weeks following your surgery, once your stitches have been removed and you have received clearance from your doctor, we suggest you begin moisturizing and gently massaging your scars using a non-perfumed moisturizer. This practice helps soften and hydrate the sca...
