We’ve all heard of the Zen of "x" or the Zen of "y", and imagine it or not the Zen of males’s grooming actually does exist! As Perfect Glow" , we aren’t taught at any stage of our lives about grooming. Somehow we’re simply speculated to magically work out what to do when it comes to shaving, skin care, physique hair trimming, hair upkeep, etc. It’s just implausible to assume that girls at a really early age, are enjoying with makeup and watching (and studying) how mama cleans her pores and skin every night. All boys are taught to do is wash their arms and brush their teeth earlier than going to bed! In terms of boys, maybe they see father shaving in the morning, however most probably they’re busy getting dressed and consuming breakfast. Instantly, puberty hits, the facial hair begins coming in, and the pimples begin showing. With no talk about such things from household or associates, and seeing how the media caters to teenage girls clearing their skin, what is a younger man to do? Possibly, just maybe, the father will see that his son needs a shaving lesson and some help with clearing his pores and skin. But I ask, are the fathers of the world educating their sons how to shave, how to take care of their pores and skin, methods to look their finest? I wish to say Sure, however I worry that in most households that is not happening. Fathers of the world must begin educating their sons good grooming methods so it’s not such a thriller. There’s greater than throwing the soccer, taking part in video video games etc., that can be shared between father and son.
Hopefully as an adult you have taken the time to search out out the way to take care of your grooming wants. You have realized the right way to get the proper shave (whether it’s a wet or electric shave); how to maintain your skin looking great; basically, the way to look your best.
Here comes the Zen part! When it comes to meditation, I wish to observe and recommend Vipassana meditation. Vipassana meditation is a method of self-transformation through self-remark. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and physique, which can be experienced instantly by disciplined consideration to the physical sensations that type the life of the physique, and that continuously interconnect and situation the life of the mind. It is that this statement-primarily based, self-exploratory journey to the frequent root of thoughts and physique that dissolves mental impurity (leading to a balanced mind filled with love and compassion). The most commonplace manner of practicing is to simply observe the breath going in and out of your nostril. Merely concentrate on the breath, observing the body sensations. After even simply a few minutes you can really feel your self grow to be more centered and calm. You too can practice meditation if you walk by simply observing each step you’re taking – the foot hitting the ground, the movement of the foot in each step, and many others. Doing this brings you again to the "now", calms the thoughts and focuses you.
This will also be practiced whilst you groom yourself. Sure, believe it or not you may meditate whereas you’re doing all your grooming routine morning or night time. This is an instance of how you can deliver zen into your shaving routine. The primary point of any such meditation is to observe your physique throughout an exercise. One approach to do that is to decelerate your movements. Be 100% conscious of your arm as it picks up the razor. When you apply doing a wet shave, observe the movement of the arm soaking the razor in the heat water. Merely observe each step of your routine listening to the assorted movements of your physique. Keep your attention as much as attainable to the present second. In case your thoughts starts wandering about what you are doing for dinner or what assembly it’s a must to get to, merely return your consideration to the present moment. Comply with the sensations of the blade because it glides across your face. Observe how your physique is standing, what your hand is doing. Do not choose something. There is no "right" method to do that. The hot button is to simply observe the expertise. Chances are you’ll even get a better shave since you will be extra conscious of what you’re doing! You can even do that when taking a shower, and even at night when your cleansing your pores and skin. When cleansing your pores and skin observe the sensation of the cleanser in your hand, the swirling sensation as you swirl it over your face, etc. It’s a wonderful behavior to get into. The extra you do it, the more targeted and calmer you’ll be. The purpose of most meditation is to deliver you to the present second, keep you in the "now". This is a superb approach to remain in the present and give yourself the reward of a calmer life.
