What makes our faces age? The real reasons behind the facial tensions during years of life are excessive strained muscles of the face and neck, slouching, bad posture. What triggers all these processes? Behind the muscular stress there is usually emotional stress, negative emotions, chronic anxiety and suppressed emotions. That’s why any work to release the facial tension should be accompanied by the release of the emotional tension through the special techniques of neuromuscular relaxation.

Fine chocolate’s flavour is complex, influenced from the tree to the bar. When we place a piece of chocolate in our mouth, we are tasting the genetic profile of the beans; the soil, climate and environment where they grew; the fermenting, roasting and other processes. The beans themselves deliver astringent and bitter notes, and then the fermented pulp delivers fruity, winey and flowery flavours. Take a delicious mindful moment to learn about the flavours and compounds in chocolate .
