- 1:56I'm so excited to talk with you.
- 1:59I'm excited to talk with you.
- 2:00And I think that, my listeners are really going to be excited.
- 2:04I'm sure they have seen.
- 2:06Yes, I'm sure that our listeners have seen, you on the internet, on Instagram and so forth, but I just want to before we get started, I just really want to say that I, I just did your summit about a month ago.
- 2:22It was like a three day summit.
- 2:24And then you could purchase like the last day.
- 2:26And I was so impressed because I think we all know, like you do, a summit, and the whole time it feels like they're just trying to sell you a membership or upgrade.
- 2:37And it was not like that at all.
- 2:39It was full days of real information, real, you know, things that you could take away and start using.
- 2:48And it was just I just felt the generosity and it was so positive.
- 2:52You just kept.
- 2:53And your team is so positive.
- 2:53So thank you.
- 2:56Oh thank you, thank you.
- 2:57I'm so glad to hear that because for us it's a give away like a giving thanks to people who've been following us for so many years.
- 3:06And I just love to empower women.
- 3:09I love to give.
- 3:10I can't help myself.
- 3:10I think let's start that way because I started my journey.
- 3:16I don't know if you know this story, but 22 years ago, I had a near fatal car accident and I could be dead right there on the spot.
- 3:25So when I survived, I feel like there's something I can do with my experience.
- 3:31And the first I started doing the face exercises, I created this poses just for myself.
- 3:38Why? What happened to your face in the accident?
- 3:40Because it was a hit.
- 3:42We were hit.
- 3:43I was in a passenger seat and it was from the side.
- 3:46So my body went out like out of alignment and as a result, my face became asymmetrical.
- 3:53On top of that, headaches and of course, I was mid-thirties.
- 3:58I was 30, 35.
- 4:00So I started seeing sign of premature aging.
- 4:04And I wanted to do something.
- 4:05And when the face became asymmetrical, I started getting panics like, oh my gosh, I'm getting old.
- 4:12Why old?
- 4:14And then I want to do something.
- 4:16And I started doing all the facials and buying expensive creams, and they didn't work.
- 4:22And I started feeling like, do I have to pay this much money for the rest of my life, not seeing that result?
- 4:30So that's how I started.
- 4:32And I wasn't planning to make a business out of it.
- 4:35But people start noticing.
- 4:37And especially when my mother, my mom said, did you do something?
- 4:41I never done anything but like, did you do something?
- 4:43You look different.
- 4:44So that's when I thought, oh, this is working.
- 4:47And yeah, I decided to take this as a full time job.
- 4:51Before that, I was teach get teaching at one of the oldest women's universities in Japan.
- 4:58So I was pretty happy.
- 4:59But when this opportunity came, I just feel like this is my calling because really combined beauty, women and empowerment.
- 5:10So yeah, I've been doing it over 22 years.
- 5:14Yeah.
- 5:14I mean, well, what did you teach at the university?
- 5:17I was teaching at like English, but also teaching, international communication.
- 5:24So cultural was really fun.
- 5:27Yeah. That's great.
- 5:29I yeah, I mean, it really, it set you on your trajectory.
- 5:33So what, did you just start researching it, or how did you come up with this?
- 5:38I you just started exercising your face.
- 5:41Yeah.
- 5:41Because I, I well, I've been practicing yoga since I was ten, so I love you knew it how the body mind connects and respond to your thought and then you know, when you turn your body, when you exercise your body, it shows on your body.
- 5:59So I was thinking one day I was about to actually go to the gym and I looking at my body like, oh, it's I'm pretty fit.
- 6:06But a face was like, you.
- 6:08I just can't look at myself.
- 6:10I just cannot even imagine. There's no.
- 6:13But I was Lauren.
- 6:14I was very asymmetrical. Like, I was like, this.
- 6:17So people look at me when I talk to people, they don't look up my eye.
- 6:21They look at my mouth like.
- 6:23So you kind of made me look like you had a stroke or.
- 6:26Something or something.
- 6:27And I was very, very self-conscious.
- 6:29So, I thought, wow, this is a muscle, so why not exercise of muscles of your face?
- 6:36No. I'm sorry. The body has a muscle.
- 6:38Face is a muscle, so why not exercise your face muscles, and then you can create the, you know, the desired look, but also, I'm a cultural anthropologist.
- 6:49I went to graduate school.
- 6:51So I understand that when you use different language, you use different muscle.
- 6:55So when is when I speak Japanese, I use different muscle.
- 7:00And when I speak English I use different muscles.
- 7:02So I cannot pronounce certain words.
- 7:05Even after living in us for a long time, because I have a muscle memory from Japan.
- 7:11So my pronunciation cannot be perfect because I have a Japanese trained facial muscle.
- 7:18So yeah, it sounds pretty perfect to me, says someone who could never imagine being able to speak Japanese.
- 7:25I mean, that's just how even you know, I was born in New York.
- 7:28I haven't lived there since I was ten years old.
- 7:30But people are always like, oh, are you from New York?
- 7:32And I'm like, no, I live in Texas.
- 7:35I mean, I live in Austin, Texas.
- 7:37It's just how it is, right?
- 7:38But, you know, the other thing that I love about this is that for me, I like to try to address the root cause and do things from the inside out rather than the outside in, you know, and this that's why this is so appealing to me.
- 7:56And, you know, people can spend a lot on Botox and fillers and that's fine if they do that.
- 8:02I mean, I don't want to judge anybody for what they do, but for me, at least I would want to give this a thorough investigation and really try this out before.
- 8:11And like I said, I've been doing it for about a month.
- 8:14Actually, I bought your book, a booklet, online book about five years ago, and it sits on my desktop and occasionally I pull it out and I do some exercises.
- 8:24But I have to say the, the summit really was helpful because it was video and it was, you know, people talking you through it.
- 8:33And I'm sure as soon as you looked at me, you know, where my problems lie and what I've been working on.
- 8:39And, you know, I have I know I have the volume loss and the sagging.
- 8:43And I will tell you, I feel like in a month I've, I've made some progress.
- 8:49I know, especially with the volume loss, it takes a long time to replace it.
- 8:52But let me tell you just the thing that you did where like you put your, I guess, your index and your middle fingers in the corners of your eyes and at the side of your eyes, and you try to lift up your cheeks to smile.
- 9:08Yeah.
- 9:09And I couldn't do that at first.
- 9:11I really couldn't do that because of the sagging and, you know, after, like, a few times, I really could feel the apple of my cheek between the V in my my fingers.
- 9:24So like that I see you definitely that feel.
- 9:27Yeah.
- 9:27You wake it up, your lazy muscles like.
- 9:30Come on, I'm waking up my lazy muscles.
- 9:32Yeah, they're.
- 9:33Very super active muscles.
- 9:35We giving them a little break, right?
- 9:37Yeah. Calm down.
- 9:38Don't do it too much.
- 9:40And then it's a balance.
- 9:42But I love that, Laura.
- 9:43And I'm so I'm so honored to hear that too.
- 9:46Because the body mind connection.
- 9:49What is the root cause?
- 9:50I often say face yoga is a lifestyle, but also why it's so important a good posture.
- 9:56Because let's try this one too.
- 9:58I think I did this, I think I did this during a summit too.
- 10:02But let's open your arms up.
- 10:05Palms up. Yep.
- 10:06And and forget.
- 10:07Don't forget that a lot of people are listening instead of watching.
- 10:10So. That's right.
- 10:10And you describe what you're doing.
- 10:13Yeah okay.
- 10:14So then look up slight.
- 10:16We're we're lifting our arms. Arms.
- 10:19Hey palms up to the sky.
- 10:23Chin up slightly little smile on your face and think something positive.
- 10:28Happy moments. Whatever you feel so happy.
- 10:31And then try to create 11 lines, a frown line.
- 10:35Can you do that? Little smile.
- 10:38Think something happy.
- 10:40And 11 line.
- 10:42Okay, come out.
- 10:44How is it?
- 10:46Yeah. It's harder.
- 10:47It's harder to frown when you're smiling.
- 10:49And when you're thinking something happy, it do.
- 10:53And what do you mean a connection?
- 10:54Yes. Yeah.
- 10:55And everybody, you know, I think people know by now there is a huge mind body connection.
- 11:02Can you, can you.
- 11:03I want to do more of the exercises with you, but can you give us some of the science behind it so that we can understand a little. Yes.
- 11:12So what happened is the first thing is when I started teaching or creating the poses, of course, I wanted to know because I saw the result.
- 11:21My mom saw the result.
- 11:22But what is it exactly happened?
- 11:24Yes, that was a big question and I took my exercises to a research institute in Japan and they took a demographic image.
- 11:34I had a 20, I think over 22 people participants for this research, and we did one pose.
- 11:40It's called a big oh, one of my signature poses, which is very easy.
- 11:46We can do. It every day.
- 11:47Yeah, sure.
- 11:48Let's do it.
- 11:48So just drop very naturally.
- 11:52Don't overdo it.
- 11:53Just drop your jaw as if you're yawning.
- 11:56Right. This is it. And then with your gaze.
- 12:00Only don't wrinkly or forehead very slowly move your gaze to the ceiling.
- 12:05If you wrinkly your forehead, you can put the palm on your forehead and then hold this for ten, nine, eight.
- 12:13Keep breathing. Seven, 54321 and come out.
- 12:24I think I missed six, but anyway, would you.
- 12:27Okay.
- 12:28We know how to count times.
- 12:28Yeah. Two ones.
- 12:30That means 30s you get massive blood circulation, your face and the neck.
- 12:38And every single person who participate this research get the same result.
- 12:42So 30s, it's not three minutes.
- 12:45It's not 30 minutes.
- 12:46So what does this mean?
- 12:47So this means that you're creating a lot of circulation, more nutrient, more oxygen to the skin as a result your skin gets supple, your skin gets more, hydration.
- 12:59And so many beautiful things happen without even touching it.
- 13:03So that's a first reason or scientific, you know, background.
- 13:07Why this face?
- 13:07So the method works because we all know the benefit of massage, right?
- 13:12Like we love to get a massage facial, but why not just do it without even touching your face.
- 13:17And everybody can do this one.
- 13:19Even the busiest person on this planet can do it because we have a time or when you go to bathroom, just look at yourself, the facial, relax your forehead and then hold for 10s and three sets.
- 13:34Yeah.
- 13:34So Lauren, I want you to drop your job a little bit more, but not too much.
- 13:38Just drop as if you're unique. Beautiful.
- 13:40Yes. That's it.
- 13:41Just enough? Yeah.
- 13:42Just enough.
- 13:43And then very slowly move your gaze up.
- 13:46Yeah.
- 13:47That's it.
- 13:48And don't hold your breath.
- 13:49Oh, I think I've been overdoing it.
- 13:51Yeah. Oh, yes. People.
- 13:52Yeah.
- 13:53That's, That's what I've been doing.
- 13:56Yeah. Okay. Yeah okay.
- 13:58That's good to know.
- 13:59Okay.
- 13:59I know it's really it's and I think that was another thing I learned is that it's a little easy to overdo it. Okay.
- 14:06But I just want to go back to the science for a minute because I'm really fascinated by it.
- 14:10And I've seen those thermal thermographic pictures that you're talking about.
- 14:14That's amazing.
- 14:16But what's the connection between facial movement and collagen production and lymphatic drainage?
- 14:24I know that that's a big one, too.
- 14:25And I can tell you, I know I have a ton of, lymphatic fluid because I can feel it back here, behind my ears.
- 14:34And my job.
- 14:36And I've been shaking it loose and then trying to drain it, you know, as as you've told us to do your fingers gently down your neck, past your collarbones.
- 14:46But you were talking about yoga.
- 14:48I go to yoga all the time, and I usually have excellent balance.
- 14:52I've been doing it for 30 years, and now that I'm shaking this fluid loose in my head, I can feel that my balance is off.
- 15:00Isn't that interesting?
- 15:02Interesting?
- 15:03Yeah, very, because I'm shaking it loose.
- 15:06But yeah.
- 15:07Can you explain a little more about the collagen production in the lymphatic drainage?
- 15:11Okay.
- 15:11So let's start with the lymphatic system too, because it's such an important part of our health, not just the face to but for body too.
- 15:20So lymphatic system, they don't have a pump.
- 15:23You know, pump like a heart.
- 15:25So you have to move your body.
- 15:26You have to move your muscle.
- 15:28That helps.
- 15:28The lymphatic fluid moves smoothly.
- 15:31And in many times, I think because of a lifestyle, especially the form, people look down, so much so that we create the tightness and the stops or kind of stop the healthy lymphatic flow and not only that, as we age, our neck gets tighter and shorter.
- 15:50So when you combine the aging plus lifestyle, which is lots of time, we look down, everything is getting kind of stacked, or let's say, almost like a traffic jam happening.
- 16:03Yeah, especially the neck area.
- 16:05And then when you have that stagnation, what traffic jam things does not move.
- 16:11Things do not move smoothly.
- 16:13So the first thing when you do face yoga of course, posture and a breathing.
- 16:17But really important thing is you need to release, release tension, release the tightness, release any spot that you are holding that you know, even the thoughts.
- 16:29Because when you stress out, when you focus, we often hold the breath and tighten the shoulder.
- 16:35You don't see people who are so focused and then, what do you call that stressed out and have a chest open, heart open looking?
- 16:44No. You see the people who are driving the car so stressed out.
- 16:48So when you release attention, you feel opening up all the lymphatic knots.
- 16:55And then sometimes, even after one session, people feel very light and their face gets so much more circulation, so brighter compression.
- 17:06And then you can see the changes very quickly, your face and my face, because we tend to lose volume.
- 17:12Right? I called it volume loss type.
- 17:14We need to rebuild the muscle after we get rid of all the lymphatic excess lymphatic fluid.
- 17:21So it might take longer.
- 17:22But the people who tend to store lots of fluid lymphatic fluid, they can see wonderful result them very quickly.
- 17:32So you and I have to be a little bit patient, but we get to the place that we feel very comfortable, happy with our face.
- 17:39So that's the main fighting system.
- 17:40So get rid of the things we don't need anymore.
- 17:43Yeah.
- 17:44And and the.
- 17:45Well, before we go on, how old are you?
- 17:47I think I know the answer to this and I'm going to be aggravated.
- 17:50I just turned.
- 17:5152 57th October.
- 17:54Me two.
- 17:55Oh in October.
- 17:56Yeah, I turned 57 in August.
- 17:59Okay. That's so aggravating.
- 18:01Okay, I don't want to say anything bad about myself, but I mean, you know, you've been you've been at this longer and you really look so youthful.
- 18:09So no Botox, no fillers. This is all.
- 18:12This is all facial natural.
- 18:14Yeah, I, I have I.
- 18:16Mean, your face is like 35.
- 18:18Thank you.
- 18:19No it is. Thank you, thank you.
- 18:21I think my personality, you know, my, mental age is maybe 18 because I moved.
- 18:25Yeah. So many things. So like curiosity.
- 18:28Yeah.
- 18:29But let's go back to the collagen.
- 18:31We lose collagen production of collagen as we age, and we try to, you know, do lots of things.
- 18:38But really, the good thing to do is activate our muscles like a user.
- 18:43Muscles get little things we don't need.
- 18:46And will we speed up the, what you call that, that production of.
- 18:52No. When we speed up the turnover of skin turnover, which used to be 28 when we are younger, but as.
- 18:58We 28 days. Yeah, 28 days.
- 19:01But now our age maybe takes 50 days to get everything you know turnover.
- 19:07So collagen production elastin production also slows down.
- 19:12But when we activate the muscles use the muscles.
- 19:14This is a key point.
- 19:15Right way to use the muscles it creates.
- 19:19It helps the collagen production because more is coming in.
- 19:22More oxygen is coming in and and getting rid of at the same time, things no longer we need.
- 19:28So speeding up everything, which I think we need that as we get older, more, more what do you call that?
- 19:37More support?
- 19:38We give our face and our body and also mind to lots of things we create in our head, clean up, create a new things, and then we start seeing the changes the skin to.
- 19:51Because my skin condition is actually better than, ever.
- 19:56And I didn't have a confidence on my skin until mid 40s.
- 20:01I didn't like my skin.
- 20:03I had a lot of skin. Is gorgeous. Really.
- 20:05You had acne.
- 20:06Your skin is glowing, plump and beautiful.
- 20:09Oh, beautiful.
- 20:11Can can you, talk about the three face types? Yes.
- 20:17And then some exercises for them. Okay.
- 20:20So the first type is like of course all of us have a combination type.
- 20:25But if I just, you know, categorize simply, the first one is a stress.
- 20:29Like a stress hold tension like a tension face type, which is really holding a tension, especially between the eyebrows clenching a TS the shoulder.
- 20:40So this type of people, I encourage them to release emotional stress because it's.
- 20:47Because you're usually like a driven person, right.
- 20:49Exactly. Yeah.
- 20:51So I started going over, you know what?
- 20:54No longer serving you get rid of it.
- 20:57How we do it, we do tapping.
- 20:59We can do tapping to tapping is okay.
- 21:01Yeah. Let's do let's do that too. Yeah.
- 21:03Okay.
- 21:03I'm going to ask you lowering your stress level I don't think you have much stress, but for the audience just think about your stress.
- 21:11Level ten you're stressed out.
- 21:13One is not stressed out.
- 21:15Just think about the number.
- 21:15How about you?
- 21:17I mean.
- 21:18I, I don't have a lot of stress.
- 21:20I am good at managing it.
- 21:22And also I'm very fortunate with a lovely life.
- 21:24But I would say three, you know, it's not it's not high.
- 21:29Okay. Three four you know.
- 21:31No, no it's great. Yeah.
- 21:32So the people who are listening to this just think about the number.
- 21:35Don't overthink okay.
- 21:37Now let's do top thing.
- 21:39So start from the top of the head using me.

- 21:51Just open a little.
- 21:54Smile on your face and then move your fingers to the side of your head.
- 22:02Temporal muscles.
- 22:03This is where we carry lots of tension.
- 22:06If you crunch your teeth, grind your teeth at night.
- 22:09This is I, I think I do that you do okay at night?
- 22:13Yeah, sometimes.
- 22:15And then back to the top.
- 22:16The crown of your head.
- 22:19And now back of your head.
- 22:23We had neck and head meet.
- 22:26Well, this is also the place many people carry stress and tightness.

- 24:20Breathe in from my nose and breathe out through your mouth.
- 24:29Last one.
- 24:30Breathe in.
- 24:33And a hold for three.
- 24:35Two. One, two.
- 24:36Breathe out and stick your tongue out.
- 24:38See how.
- 24:43I breathe out completely while I'm param on your heart.
- 24:48Another one on your lower belly.
- 24:51Find your heartbeat.
- 24:53Your heart is beating for you.
- 24:57You don't need to earn it.
- 25:01It just give into you.
- 25:03And as long as your heart beat.
- 25:06You are here.
- 25:09Send your love, send appreciation and say it loud or in your heart.
- 25:17I hear you, I feel you, I see you.
- 25:26When you're ready, open your eyes and come out.
- 25:31How do you feel?
- 25:33I feel so relaxed.
- 25:36Maybe too relaxed to be a podcast host.
- 25:39Yeah.
- 25:40So this is very beautiful. Thank you.
- 25:43So what we did is, we tap the meridians, the energy pathway.
- 25:48But also we are changing the posture by just lifting the chin slightly, but improving the, what you call that lymphatic circulation system.
- 25:57So we are doing lots of things.
- 25:59And by just putting the hand palm on your heart and lower belly itself really, really sustainable.
- 26:06So when I asked the student, so Laura, what's your stress level you cut it for?
- 26:11How do you feel right now?
- 26:123 or 4 000I feel great.
- 26:16I mean, honestly, I feel so relaxed.
- 26:19Thank you. Yeah. So that's what happened.
- 26:21And for the people who had this tension of holding tight, like really just slow down, take a deep breath and tap the spot.
- 26:31You feel tightness.
- 26:32But the way I guide you helps you because, it's, energy, what I call the pathway so that you feel much more centered.
- 26:43So I highly recommend this one.
- 26:45And then for the second type, people, meaty, meaty type face people so they think their face is fat, but it's not many times it's a retention.
- 26:58It's just an excess fluid stored in a face in a neck area, too.
- 27:02I had a so many students say, oh, I'm so fat, my face is so fat.
- 27:06And I look at the person's face like, I know you just stored lots of fluid.
- 27:11So for those who had that tension or not tension, that stored fluid, I highly recommend release.
- 27:19It's almost like a balloon when you have a balloon, and then you try to massage and get rid of the air, you can't do it.
- 27:26You have to release it a little bit, right?
- 27:29You have to get the air out.
- 27:30So that's what you can do.
- 27:32And let's do the pose.
- 27:34This is really helpful to, to release the tension and then beads and to get rid of that excess fluid.
- 27:42So make a fist.
- 27:44We seal both palms of both hands and the middle finger knuckles right next your nostrils right here.
- 27:52We tend to store lots of tension right here too.
- 27:56And the shoulder relax.
- 27:58Chest open, heart open, and you can change the angle of your knuckles.
- 28:02What I do not want people do is push too hard.
- 28:06Creates wrinkles under your eyes.
- 28:09So push enough so that you feel that pressure, but not creating anything extra.
- 28:17Yeah.
- 28:17So you want to go a little bit lower right here we are.
- 28:20Needs a level full.
- 28:21And who knows me.
- 28:23Yeah that's it.
- 28:24That's it. Yeah.
- 28:24Don't push up.
- 28:25Yeah. Push and push up.
- 28:27Good good good. Yeah okay. And a beat in beat out.
- 28:34Breathing beat out.
- 28:37And now move your knuckles to the center of your cheek.
- 28:42Under your cheekbone.
- 28:44Right there. Yeah.
- 28:45Same thing. Don't push up. Just push in.
- 28:48You can wiggle if you want.
- 28:50Yeah.
- 28:53And then front of your ears wiggle up.
- 28:57Push. Yeah. Good.
- 29:00And on the chin you can place palms toward you or out.
- 29:05Whatever works for you. Push.
- 29:08And then along your jaw line.
- 29:13Kind of your muscles under the corner of your mask.
- 29:16This is also many people hold tension right here.
- 29:19Yeah. Good good.
- 29:20Wiggle slide or move under the ears.
- 29:25That's where I feel it.
- 29:26And feel okay.
- 29:27So that might be clenching or holding the tension.
- 29:30Yeah. Just good.
- 29:31And now slide your knuckles along the neck. Beautiful wonderful wonderful.
- 29:38Good.
- 29:39Let's do one more time right next to your nostrils.
- 29:44And a wiggle or push in.
- 29:45Good, good.
- 29:48And then along a cheekbone.
- 29:51Yeah. And then push a wiggle. Yep.
- 29:54How do you feel right here.
- 29:56It's not too bad. So more jaw.
- 29:59Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
- 30:01And by my ears. Oh okay. That's one.
- 30:04So that means lots of rotation of the fluid fluid.
- 30:07That's I'm telling you I can feel the pain right.
- 30:10Yeah.
- 30:11Let's go to the chin.
- 30:14You can slide or I like to go very slowly.
- 30:17But when I find the tight spot it's treasure I call it treasure.
- 30:21Like, ooh, they just spot.
- 30:23Yeah.
- 30:23So many people have that.
- 30:25The excess fluid and, money. That line.
- 30:28This is the.
- 30:28So. Yeah.
- 30:29Right there the corner of your mouth.
- 30:32And to go down that, that's where you can.
- 30:35So if you have the marionette lines.
- 30:37It's usually this.
- 30:38Tension right here and right there, left corner of your mouth. Yep.
- 30:43And then under the ears this is a spot many people rotation.
- 30:48And interestingly this change is always like when you have stress or when you slept certain way or when you have cold infections.
- 30:58And this is a spot you want to release in a slide.
- 31:02Your knuckles and then you can.
- 31:05Even do your neck goes down your. Neck.
- 31:05Yeah.
- 31:07Yeah, we're doing it now to the neck.
- 31:11And this is. Getting rid of the.
- 31:11Lymphatic.
- 31:13Just beautiful.
- 31:14Let's do a couple times.
- 31:15But gentle soft touch.
- 31:17Don't force it because in the fighting system is this very sharp or not sharp shallow surface level.
- 31:25So when you do too much you're not really supporting the lymphatic system.
- 31:30So you want to go very gentle, as if you're touching the baby's face. Good.
- 31:36Let's do the upper face.
- 31:38Make a fist again.
- 31:40So now middle finger knuckles right next your nostrils where the nasal labial fold and nose meet and shoulder relax, chest open.
- 31:52Take a deep breath in and breathe out and up.
- 31:56Push along your nose.
- 31:59If you have a sinus issue or congestion, this may feel so good.
- 32:03Or maybe a little pain pain, but you can just do if you feel scared.
- 32:10And now we're going to move barnacles to the center of the forehead shoulder.
- 32:18Relax.
- 32:18Just open one more time breathing and a slide your knuckles to the side.
- 32:25Your face, your temples, and then push up.
- 32:30Beautiful. Good.
- 32:32Let's do one more time.
- 32:35Push along your nose, using your knuckles along your knuckles.
- 32:42Push, push, push your knuckles in the center of your forehead.
- 32:47Slide your knuckles to the side.
- 32:52Yes, to the temples and up.
- 32:54Push up.
- 32:56Beautiful, beautiful.
- 32:57All right, let's do the last one.
- 33:00Now I can feel fluid in.
- 33:01My target right there too.
- 33:02Wow. Yeah.
- 33:04You want to get rid of that sort of fluid?
- 33:06Lots of fluid.
- 33:07So let's do that one more time.
- 33:09So, knuckles along your nose.
- 33:12Do you feel anything right here, too, or not?
- 33:14Here.
- 33:16Oh, I know a little bit.
- 33:17Okay, so now the palms open your palms and up very gently swipe your fingers to the side of your face and then slide your palms along the face and the side of your neck, side of your chest, this side of your body.
- 33:45So what we did was pushing the tight spot and releasing a tension and opening the pathway so that you can get rid of excess fluid.
- 33:58And for those who have fatty face, they think it's a fat face.
- 34:02This is really, really good.
- 34:04Yeah, yeah, it's counterintuitive in a way, because you're kind of taking your fingers and sliding them down your face.
- 34:12And I think that we've always been taught don't know it, but you're not pulling your face.
- 34:17It's very gentle motion, but it seems counterintuitive to everything we've heard.
- 34:22Right.
- 34:23Don't do you pull your face up.
- 34:24You don't pull it down. Exactly.
- 34:26But that's why you have to go slowly.
- 34:28Like to activate the muscles.
- 34:31You want to go up. Right?
- 34:34The way we get rid of the, lymphatic fluid.
- 34:38You want to open a spot congested or tight spot, and then very slowly, as if you're touching, baby's face.
- 34:47Go slow and gentle and this is also good because you're sending a message to yourself like I love you.
- 34:54Yeah. It's not forcing you.
- 34:56I love, I love you.
- 34:57It's gentle, gentle. Yeah.
- 35:00We don't touch our dog.
- 35:02You have a dog, right?
- 35:03You have a dog? Yes.
- 35:04We don't dress up so strong. No.
- 35:08Yeah.
- 35:08Pressure.
- 35:09You're very gentle, so that helps a lot.
- 35:12And also, Really, relaxes your nervous system.
- 35:17So when you have lots of tension.
- 35:20This is a good tip.
- 35:21But this helps people.
- 35:23Who has who think they have a lot of fat in the face.
- 35:27Yeah. So this is that.
- 35:28Should I go a third time?
- 35:29That's your face and my face. Yeah.
- 35:31Yeah, sure.
- 35:32Okay.
- 35:32We need to rebuild a muscle because everything goes down.
- 35:37This is like sagging volume.
- 35:39Yes, yes.
- 35:40And then fat patch gets smaller, everything gets like, And what we can do is we waking up the.
- 35:49I called it lazy muscles very often the cheek muscles because we tend to use lower part of the face, the muscles around the mouth and a chain.
- 35:59That's why everything go down.
- 36:01So we can activate the cheek muscles.
- 36:04So let's do the exercise first.
- 36:06And I want people see and the feel where they are using the muscles.
- 36:11So ring fingers right next your nostrils and then middle finger toward the corner of your outer corner of your eye.
- 36:20Yeah.
- 36:21So you're kind of like making a V around your. Yes.
- 36:25Sort of like so your ring is for people who are just listening, your ring fingers in the corner of your eye, along the side of your nostril, and your middle fingers out the outside of your eye, and you have like a V open V in it.
- 36:39Thank you.
- 36:39Beautiful.
- 36:40And then touch your face completely with your palms so you feel your skin.
- 36:46Okay.
- 36:47And with this position, just smile as if you were just smiling.
- 36:52Naturally I smile right?
- 36:55Where do you feel the muscle movement?
- 36:58Where do you feel the most movement of the muscles?
- 37:03I think then yeah.
- 37:06I was going to say this is the one that I couldn't do.
- 37:08I was feeling it at the bottom of my palm, and now I feel it like between my fingers, because I figured out how to use that muscle.
- 37:19Okay, this was a big deal for me, right?
- 37:21So the people who tend to have a volume loss type use the lower part of the face.
- 37:28So when they ask them to smile, they feel most of the movement on the palm, like the lower part of the palm.
- 37:35The lower part of your palm. Yeah. Yes.
- 37:38So that means that using the corner of the mouth going down in a chin and everything going there.
- 37:44So what we do is yeah, you can come out.
- 37:46So what we do is we are going to activate the cheek muscles, which is very you have to retrain.
- 37:53But what we can do is place your fingers lower part of your face.
- 37:59So let's say how do you how do you say this one?
- 38:04It's like your fingers on the side of your mouth.
- 38:06Yeah. Under your mouth and smile.
- 38:08And the side of your mouth.
- 38:09Yeah.
- 38:09So, like, your middle finger should be kind of where your corners of are, and then your pinkies are touching on your chin.
- 38:17Chin. Yeah.
- 38:18Yep. And then, Yep.
- 38:20Okay. So is this.
- 38:22Try not to move these muscles.
- 38:25We're going to stop these muscles and then use only cheek muscles to smile.
- 38:36Can you move it.
- 38:38Can you activate.
- 38:41Yeah. Yes.
- 38:42You're getting it. Yes.
- 38:48Yep. One.
- 38:49Good. Good to three.
- 38:54Four.
- 38:56Do you feel a little difference?
- 38:56Let's do this.
- 38:57One. Two thumbs on the, On the chin I do.
- 39:02Yes. Yeah. And then your index finger on the peak of your cheek.
- 39:09Apple. Yeah. Okay.
- 39:10Do you find this spot? Hey.
- 39:12And then I want you to use your index finger.
- 39:16Don't push too much, but tap a couple times here.
- 39:20Hello. Hello.
- 39:21This is where I want to wake up.
- 39:26And then pull slightly.
- 39:30Pull your cheek slightly, but chin relaxed the corner of your mouth up.
- 39:36Yeah.
- 39:37Good good good.
- 39:42And let one finger go.
- 39:45Good. Beautiful.
- 39:46Another one. Go good. Okay.
- 39:49And hold this for five, 4321.
- 39:55Tap the lower part of your mouth.
- 39:55Yep. Good.
- 39:58Because I want this part relaxed more.
- 40:01Now make a ring with your thumb and index.
- 40:05So we're going to actually create the ring circles.
- 40:10This circle. Yes.
- 40:11And place this thumb along your neck Olivia.
- 40:15Hold. Yes okay.
- 40:17And then cover your cheek with your index and thumb.
- 40:25Good.
- 40:25Good.
- 40:26Chin relaxed shoulder relaxed.
- 40:30And then can you use your cheek muscles.
- 40:34Or you can even assist your cheeks by moving your cheek slightly.
- 40:41Yeah, a little bit more chin.
- 40:43Relax, chin. Relax.
- 40:45Yes, yes.
- 40:46Okay. Don't forget to breathe. Breathe.
- 40:49Keep breathing and open your eyes.
- 40:53Good.
- 40:54Don't wrinkly forehead and hold for five, four, three, two, one.
- 41:05And tap your chin and that.
- 41:07Keep the smiles.
- 41:09How is it? It's a heart.
- 41:10So many things to remember.
- 41:11Don't wrinkle your forehead, right?
- 41:12Right. It's just so easy to do. Wrinkle it.
- 41:16Yeah, but that's great. Come on, come on.
- 41:18How do you feel, cheeks?
- 41:19Who do you feel?
- 41:19A little burning sensation.
- 41:22Yeah.
- 41:23So what we did was that.
- 41:25The over waking up. Yeah.
- 41:28Right here we stop by moving the fingers and then activate that cheek.
- 41:34Yeah.
- 41:35And then when you are able to isolate these muscles, you can even.
- 41:41Oh, wow.
- 41:42Okay, you guys, she's just moving her cheek muscles.
- 41:45Like, I can't even describe it like a disco.
- 41:48They're just go this go. Let's go.
- 41:51Right.
- 41:52So really? Wow.
- 41:55Oh my gosh, look at you.
- 41:58You got strong face muscles.
- 42:00No kidding. Yeah yeah. About right.
- 42:03It is a workout. That's the whole point.
- 42:06Yeah I really recommend you put the fingers so that, the lower part of your face so they don't move too much.
- 42:12But use your cheek muscles and your face shape will change.
- 42:16But also you retrain your muscles.
- 42:18Overreacting muscles calm down, which is often right here.
- 42:22The lower part for people who have bony face or body loss and then activate cheek muscles so that you really change the shape of your face, but also lazy muscles.
- 42:34Your cheek muscles get much more, much bigger.
- 42:38Yeah. Oh, that's so good.
- 42:40Is this something you could do on your arms and knees?
- 42:44Like people get saggy arms and saggy knees.
- 42:48Can you.
- 42:49Do that?
- 42:50Yeah, there's a really good one, too.
- 42:52It's very simple.
- 42:53Okay.
- 42:54I can use, wall, wall or any place, but this is the easy I want.
- 43:00You rotate, but the key.
- 43:02Has your arms out to your sides. Out your side.
- 43:05Okay. All to yourself. A little bit so you can see.
- 43:07Oh, I got a sweater.
- 43:08Yeah. Okay. So like here.
- 43:11So palms.
- 43:12Are out to your side and you're twisting one. Palm.
- 43:15The other one is facing down and then rotate.
- 43:18So almost like a, what do you call that ringing that.
- 43:22Oh. Like wringing out a washcloth.
- 43:24So like, you have one palm up, one palm down, and then you're just switching, then your arms are straight out from your shoulders.
- 43:32You have one palm up, one palm down, and then you just switch the other way up.
- 43:36The other one switch. Yeah.
- 43:38The key is relax your shoulder because when you're tightening your shoulder you are blocking lymphatic systems.
- 43:44Chest open, heart open.
- 43:47And then go very simple.
- 43:52You can do anywhere.
- 43:52Oh, that's a good one.
- 43:56Right.
- 43:56You feel that. Do you feel that?
- 43:57Yeah. Oh, I totally feel it now.
- 43:59Already did weights this morning, So that could be wonderful for the arm.
- 44:05Yeah, that's a good one.
- 44:07Oh, gosh. You know, and.
- 44:10Oh, well, here's a good question for you, I guess.
- 44:14Okay, so I had this lady on Debbie Adler, and she was saying her one secrets.
- 44:20She does is she shaves her face instead of, like, you know, dermaplaning or whatever.
- 44:27She just flat out gets a razor like a man who shaves her face.
- 44:30So I hope my husband doesn't listen to this, but I've been doing that.
- 44:33And I just want to know, like, what direction is it okay to shave your neck down and your.
- 44:41Oh yeah, it's interesting, but when you think about the shaving, I don't I don't shave my face, I don't shave my neck.
- 44:49But shaving you have to go very gentle.
- 44:52Right, right.
- 44:53You don't want to go deep.
- 44:53Of course you don't.
- 44:54Right yourself.
- 44:55So when you think about that and lymphatic system, how you want to do is before you shave, I want you open that lymphatic knots under the ears.
- 45:06Well, that.
- 45:07So like tapping.
- 45:08Tapping.
- 45:09First, tapping on your ears, your collarbone.
- 45:12Because.
- 45:13Yeah, center of the collarbone.
- 45:14So that almost like, being fluid and ready to move.
- 45:20And then when you shave, you go along.
- 45:23So center to outer center. Okay.
- 45:27And then so. Like your nose to your ear. Yes. Yeah.
- 45:29And then down your neck, like you would getting to the point.
- 45:35Okay.
- 45:35That you're almost doing it two things at once.
- 45:38And now how do you really get. Yeah.
- 45:40Yeah I think that is a good one.
- 45:43And then the other thing that I love about, you know, what you were teaching us is that in the, in their program is that you teach us how to incorporate it so that you can do this all day long because you know, I've have all these experts on and they're like, you got to do this.
- 46:00You get so like, you know, I had this lady on so you don't pee on yourself.
- 46:03You got to exercise your vagina.
- 46:05The vagina coach.
- 46:05You got to exercise your facial.
- 46:07You got it. Now you got to exercise your face.
- 46:09You got to meditate.
- 46:10You got to do yoga.
- 46:10You got to do it like you don't have to.
- 46:13Time for one more thing.
- 46:14And I love that you teach us how to incorporate it into your daily life.
- 46:19So can you tell like, a few things that we could do, like, and when we can do them?
- 46:24Yeah, of course, because I totally understand.
- 46:27I have a lots of routine.
- 46:28And when I started piling them like, oh my goodness, I needed two hours for self-care.
- 46:33That's a stress.
- 46:34Yeah. Right.
- 46:35Yeah.
- 46:35So face yoga, the beauty of facial guy guys that, like I said, it's not just the exercises.
- 46:41It's more like a lifestyle combined with a mindset to first thing I tell people is you can do it anywhere, including the first thing I do is in that I'm still half awake, half asleep.
- 46:54I start tapping, I start doing a release like we just did for the second phase.
- 47:00So I touch and I do the acupressure so that I know, like, oh, why I have a on this slide, but you don't need to think too much.
- 47:10Like, okay, this is side to side to side.
- 47:12So I'm going to do a little bit more.
- 47:14So I pay a little bit attention.
- 47:16And then I might even do that a little bit of let's say breathing like take a deep breath in my nose and I breathe out.
- 47:24And even though when we did the arm, I might even do the arm in bed so that the five minutes I'm still in bed, half asleep, half awake, I'm doing a face yoga because face yoga is not.
- 47:37It's not exercise, it's lifestyle.
- 47:38It's a mindset.
- 47:39Now when I go bathroom buddy, gold bathroom, this is what I tell people, please don't say I'm too busy.
- 47:45I didn't go bathroom.
- 47:45Everybody goes bathroom.
- 47:48Yeah, so why not do that one exercise.
- 47:51When you go bathroom, it can be.
- 47:53I called it, you know, like the big girl we did.
- 47:56Drop your show and lock up and then hold for 10s.
- 48:01And then three sets.
- 48:03You improve circulation massively.
- 48:06So instead of going bathroom and then sit, do nothing, why not just do the one pose?
- 48:12And when you look at yourself in the mirror instead of just like, oh, I got wrinkles, I have a spot, you can do one face yoga pose because there's a mirror.
- 48:24It won't take long, maybe 10s.
- 48:26So throughout the day you're just editing one pose.
- 48:30Whenever you have a time and the end of the day you have maybe did ten poses, maybe five poses.
- 48:38But what's important is you started noticing how you carry your attention, how you hold your face or how you have, let it go.
- 48:49That the 11 lines and the forehead. Yeah.
- 48:51And how you can release that.
- 48:52So combination of self awareness and add it into your life.
- 48:58It's not hard.
- 48:59And also I recommend people do a face and a time face flush which is just flush water.
- 49:04How many times it sounds like oh my gosh 100 times it's a lot.
- 49:09I don't use soap in the morning.
- 49:10I just flush my face with lukewarm water hand at times and then save the water for my plants.
- 49:16I have lots of fun.
- 49:18Do you are you using, Or are you, bending over the sink like, is it okay?
- 49:26Because I think you say don't bend over, like in your phone, but like, you just if you have your shoulders back and.
- 49:31Yeah. How do you do that?
- 49:33So I wash your face.
- 49:35I bet my knees and then I don't look I don't because I don't you.
- 49:39Don't crunch up right.
- 49:39You don't round your shoulders. Yeah.
- 49:42You just straight bend from your looks like your back is straight.
- 49:46So you bend from your knees to bend.
- 49:49But you also bend from your waist.
- 49:51Yes. Like and then use okay.
- 49:53And then splash your face.
- 49:54100 times with lukewarm water.
- 49:56This change your skin condition dramatically.
- 50:00I from my.
- 50:00What does it do?
- 50:02It clears your pores.
- 50:03You know you cannot, reduce the poor number of pores like everybody born with certain number of pores.
- 50:09Now, face.
- 50:10But what it does is a couple things.
- 50:13It does.
- 50:14Mild simulation of the skin because you're water splashing.
- 50:18And the second thing is, is clearing your pores in circulation.
- 50:23Yeah.
- 50:24And then I don't know why a hundred times you can do 80 times, but when you do that you also stimulating the vagus nerve.
- 50:30So you parasympathetic nerves are getting so much activity now you feel so much more calm centered.
- 50:37So that's what I do that that's really something like.
- 50:40That's a good way to start the day.
- 50:40Yeah. Yeah.
- 50:43And then you can finish with cold water colder than body temperature.
- 50:47You can do 80 times lukewarm water last 20 times cold water like boom okay.
- 50:53It gives you wonderful glow. Yeah.
- 50:56Oh man.
- 50:58That's good.
- 50:59Good advice. So it's hard. Yeah.
- 51:02It's yeah I mean you could do a little bit at a time like I've been starting to do it, in bed.
- 51:09Open up my shoulders, tap on my collarbone.
- 51:12All those things tap all over my face, I do that, then I like, the skincare routine when I put on my products, I start, you know, I do my knuckles on my forehead.
- 51:24Yeah. I mean, I'm just I'm trying to.
- 51:25I'm incorporating it into my life.
- 51:28And, Yeah, I like the way that that goes.
- 51:31So you're not taking another 30 minutes to sit there and try to do something?
- 51:35It's crazy. You can't.
- 51:36You just can't fit all those things into your life.
- 51:39So it's good that like you say, it's a lifestyle.
- 51:44Is there any other things that we didn't cover that you think are important, that we should know them?
- 51:50I think there is one one thing I want to add to why I called it face yoga method.
- 51:56Why mind body connection?
- 51:58Because people often think, oh, face exercise, face yoga.
- 52:04And now there's lots of, you know, people doing face yoga or teaching face yoga.
- 52:08But what I want people realize is that it's a journey.
- 52:13It's not just a quick fix.
- 52:15An aging is a privilege.
- 52:17I lost a couple of my friends already.
- 52:20They were in early 40s and the 50s.
- 52:22I recently lost my friend.
- 52:24She was 49 and not everyone can actually experience the aging.
- 52:29So instead of focusing how to fix the things and how to use a new things or like, oh, if I get this, get rid of this, I'm going to be happier.
- 52:39No, let's accept you know who we are.
- 52:43Like self-care should not like another things to do, but self-care should come from self-love and self-respect so that it becomes very natural.
- 52:55It's not the things you have to do.
- 52:57And then when you combine that, the impact of whatever you're doing, even reading a book will give you so much more wisdom.
- 53:05And that's what I want to tell people.
- 53:07So with that, can I do one more post together?
- 53:10Because this course everybody and the combined, the philosophy I always want to share.
- 53:16So this called in some picked me up why I named this Einstein picked me up.
- 53:21There's many reasons.
- 53:23It picks up your energy, picks up your mood easily because physically we lift our chin up, open chest, open heart and lift a forehead and then slide down the fingers.
- 53:35So a feeling good.
- 53:38And then the physically we are opening up a chest and a moving and lymphatic flow.
- 53:45So that helps to get rid of extra toxins from the face and a body.
- 53:51And another one is at the end of this is to pick me up.
- 53:55I always encourage people to add some affirmations if they have, or I guide them with affirmation.
- 54:01And like I said, a goes bathroom.
- 54:04So when they go off and when you go bathroom, when you put sunscreen or skincare, whatever you put, just finish with this pose and you feel so good, it's almost impossible to feel bad after this pose.
- 54:19So okay, should we do that? Let's do it. Yeah.
- 54:21Okay, so thumbs on top of the head.
- 54:24Crown of your head.
- 54:26Shoulder relax.
- 54:27Chest open, heart open.
- 54:30This is important.
- 54:31And then with the rest of your fingers, lift your forehead.
- 54:36Up. So let me just describe it for people who are listening.
- 54:39So your thumbs are on top of your head and your fingers are on your eyebrows.
- 54:44Eyebrows. Yeah.
- 54:45And then okay, relax. Shoulders are down.
- 54:48Yeah I know always want to go up.
- 54:49Yeah. And the chest open.
- 54:51Beautiful and little smile on your face.
- 54:55Good and in very slowly move the fingers up to the hairline.
- 55:01Your thumbs are still on top of the hair.
- 55:04Breathe in and in and beautiful and beautiful.
- 55:08And then when you cannot breathe in anymore, put the palms on the side of your face very slowly.
- 55:16Now slide them very slowly.
- 55:20And now slide your fingers, the face and the side of your neck.
- 55:27We are moving. Lymphatic system and and the chest is side of the body.
- 55:36Slide them down very gently, slowly.
- 55:43And let's do one more time.
- 55:44I'm gonna add a little affirmation this time.
- 55:48Thumbs on top of your head and the crown of your head.
- 55:50Rest of your fingers on your eyebrows.
- 55:53Shoulder. Relax.
- 55:54Chest open, heart open.
- 55:57Breathe in and the fingers up to the hairline so you're smoothing your forehead to a beautiful little smile on your face.
- 56:06Chin up.
- 56:08Think something beautiful.
- 56:09Wonderful.
- 56:11Keep smiling in the fingers this side of your head and say it loud or in your heart.
- 56:20I'm beautiful.
- 56:23My life is wonderful.
- 56:25You're sliding your fingers side of your neck.
- 56:29I love myself.
- 56:32Fingers sliding this side of your chest.
- 56:35And I'm sexy.
- 56:40And close your eyes, palms up and little smile on your face.
- 56:48Take a deep breath.
- 56:49In and out.
- 56:54Do you feel.
- 56:57Delicious?
- 56:58Relax. Oh, delicious thing that is.
- 57:01Yeah.
- 57:02This show is so good.
- 57:04Yes. Yeah, because we often see something negative with something not happy about ourselves, but by saying it or changing the posture itself, it instantly makes you feel good.
- 57:17Yeah.
- 57:18I love it and I appreciate all your self-love that you instill in others.
- 57:25You know what I feel like you've already given us, but you have just one best piece of advice or best piece of advice for aging.
- 57:33Well. Yes.
- 57:36Maybe because of a near-fatal car accident and maybe because, At this age 57, I really feel so fortunate and, grateful that I'm at this age.
- 57:51So I tell people, you know, we are here for a short visit.
- 57:55Might as well enjoy it.
- 57:57Just true to yourself.
- 57:58It doesn't matter how old, how young you are in a fully enjoy your life.
- 58:03I think that's what I want to say.
- 58:04Because when we, you know, the end of our day, we don't say, oh, I wish I had less wrinkled my face.
- 58:12We don't say it right.
- 58:14We just literally, yeah, live our life to the fullest.
- 58:17So that's what I want to say.
- 58:19And for those who want to explore, these are lots of, lots of poses you can practice with.
- 58:25Facial.
- 58:25Yeah.
- 58:26The how how can people, find you?
- 58:31Yeah. Well, first let me ask one.
- 58:33Do you, do you have a favorite health or beauty product.
- 58:37Beauty.
- 58:37Products aside from face yoga and.
- 58:40Oh, don't you have a skincare line too?
- 58:42I do, I do have a skincare line, that I actually also created the collagen powder.
- 58:49I it took me two years to make a collagen powder because I added it.
- 58:53Not just a collagen, a hydronic acid and apple.
- 58:56Pure powder.
- 58:57And then saying on cinnamon and all the things, goop things.

- 59:04Where is where do we find that?

- 1:00:39Thank you for doing that.
- 1:00:41For our customer or for our listeners.
- 1:00:43My pleasure.
- 1:00:44Because I think everybody should be able to practice face yoga and also everybody's so beautiful.
- 1:00:53But we just need to re discover our passion of a beauty.
- 1:00:59And every beauty is different.
- 1:01:01Like why we have a standard beauty.
- 1:01:03I don't believe that.
- 1:01:05And by doing the exercises, what I want people to understand is connect with your inner self and rediscover who they are.
- 1:01:14And a passion, no matter how young or old they are.
- 1:01:18And yeah.
- 1:01:20Yeah, that's really honestly one of the things that just really struck me as I can I can feel your love.
