Dr. Lisa Masterson Explains the Power of VR.
Have you ever wanted to just escape?
This new technology can take you anywhere you want to go. And it’s not just for video Gamers, It is also being used to help people meditate and treat certain mental issues and possibly diagnose some medical conditions. Patients receiving virtual reality therapy navigate through digitally created environments and perform certain tasks often tailored to treat a specific disorder. It is most often used currently for phobias, PTSD, body dysmorphia, to help stroke patients and those diagnosed with autism and improve social skills.
VRT uses specially programmed computers and visual immersion devices and artificially created environments to give the patient a simulated experience that can then be used to diagnose and treat certain conditions. We have it in the spa for patients to relax with but give it a try. I think it is a whole new frontier. Exciting!
Just to give you a brief intro, Erin started getting into the lifestyle, teaching and training of yoga about 20 years ago and over the last 7 – 8 years, she really discovered she wanted to teach and be of service with the practice. She was fortunate to be raised around Kundalini Yoga and meditation, as her dad is a teacher and practitioner so it was always around her and her environment – so she has a lot of valuable experience with yoga and she is so excited to share it with everyone!
For Erin, yoga makes her feel like she has a place in the world, a purpose for herself and other people, and most importantly being able to give to others – which is such an amazing feeling. I can also really relate to that, because I find when practicing medicine, when I give to people and see their joy, it ten folds back to me. So when we watch people, we can see them go to another place, which is extremely rewarding!
I find that yoga helps everything work together and it’s really great when you get that feeling of freedom, relaxation and for some people, it might even be another level of consciousness. Also I have found that ultimately yoga really helps us want to become better people, which is something we all should be striving to do! Yoga not only helps us look good, but it helps us feel good as well, so I think it’s important to try to keep finding that balance. And sometimes one serves the other, so when we look good we feel good too!
Most people when they think of yoga believe you have to be super flexible like many of the crazy yoga poses you see on Instagram, but Erin reassured me that is absolutely not the case. She thinks yoga is actually in the mind and not just the body. Basically, if you can see it in your mind, you can do whatever you want and everything is possible!
I am so excited to share this ancient and beautiful practice with everyone! Keep tuning in on our journey together and I hope we can encourage our followers to get out and try some yoga if you haven’t already. If you would like to keep up with Erin you can follow her on Instagram 
Barrier methods are what we are most familiar with. These include products that block the sperm from getting to the cervix and usually include nonoxynol-9 spermicide.
4: Ditch the waterproof mascara (or any oil based product for that matter). Waterproof eye make-up contains oils that destroy the lash glue and will result in your lashes falling out prematurely. Check the ingredients of your makeup and removers before applying them near your lash extensions.
Follow these tips and you’re sure to have the perfect lashes you will 
It’s going to hurt, especially if it’s your first time. Why? The bulb of a first-timer’s hair is larger than the pore it’s being pulled from. Regular waxes make the hair finer and the bulb smaller. But even if you are a regular, it’s still going to hurt. You can use an OTC Lidocaine spray [recommendation] 10 minutes before your wax to help with the pain.
If you are on your period, you can still get a Brazilian, but alert your waxing technician in advance and wear a tampon. Most technicians are OK with working around the string, but it may hurt more since your skin is more sensitive during your period.
Also, do not go tanning right after a Brazilian wax. The waxing removes a layer of skin vital to UV Ray Protection.
