In our fast-paced digital world, we’re constantly surrounded by screens, devices, media and other people’s opinions—whether it’s checking emails, scrolling through social media, or watching endless streams of content. While technology has its benefits, it can also leave us feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the present moment. Enter: the Digital Detox. This is your opportunity to step away from screens and focus on restoring balance, mindfulness, and a sense of inner peace.
At Lisa J Healing, I believe that incorporating holistic wellness practices like aromatherapy, crystal healing, reiki and meditation into your digital detox can deepen the healing experience. Let’s dive into how you can reclaim your peace and presence with a simple yet powerful digital detox.
What is a digital detox?
A digital detox involves taking a break from all things digital—social media, emails, texting, and screen time in general. This time away helps to reset the mind and body, allowing us to reconnect with the natural world and those around us. It’s also a great way to realign your focus, reduce stress, and come back to your center.
The Benefits of a Digital Detox
- Improved mental clarity: Without the constant notifications and distractions, you can refocus your mind on what truly matters.
- Reduced stress and anxiety: Technology can add to our daily stress levels. Stepping away from it all allows time to breathe and relax.
- Better sleep: Unplugging from screens, especially before bed, improves the quality of your sleep.
- Boosted creativity and productivity: Less screen time allows for more time to focus on personal growth, creativity, and hobbies you have put aside.
How To Plan For Your Digital Detox
1. Pick Your Time Frame: Start with a small window of a few hours or challenge yourself with a whole day unplugged.
2. Create a Soothing Space: Dedicate a peaceful area in your home for relaxation, mindfulness, and connection. Add candles, soft blankets, and your favourite crystals.
3. Set Boundaries: Inform your loved ones or colleagues that you’ll be offline. Create an out-of-office email response if necessary.
4. Focus on Self-Care: Use this time to nourish your body, mind, and soul with wellness activities like meditation, journaling, and spending time outdoors.
Affirmations to Use During Your Digital Detox
“I choose peace over distractions”
“I am fully present and fully connected to myself”
“My mind is clear, calm, and focused.”
“I deserve time away from technology to restore balance in my life.”
Crystals to Enhance Your Digital Detox
- Amethyst: Place amethyst near your crown or third eye to enhance intuition and calm the mind. Amethyst helps to alleviate stress and encourages mental clarity.
- Clear Quartz: Known as the master healer, clear quartz can be placed in your detox space to amplify positive energy and cleanse your environment.
- Black Tourmaline: Use black tourmaline near your electronics or hold it during your detox to absorb any lingering electromagnetic radiation and ground your energy.
Aromatherapy Ideas to Support Your Digital Detox
Consider using essential oils to complement your digital detox. You can diffuse oils like lavender for relaxation, peppermint for mental clarity, or citrus oils like lemon for an uplifting and refreshing atmosphere.
Add a few drops to your bath or inhale directly for instant peace if using one essential oil. Create a blend using 2 or more essential oils by first adding the drops to a small beaker or glass dish. Blend with a stirring rod whilst focusing on your intention. I find that saying the words aloud is a powerful tool.
“I call upon the powers of these essential oils to work together in this blend for the intention of supporting my digital detox. Clear any energies that no longer serve, and help me find peace in the present moment.”
After the words have been said, stop stirring and sit with the blend on your table/altar or hold the container in your hands to allow the energies to combine. When you feel the energies are ready, mix with a carrier oil or base product. If you are creating something for use over a period of time, like a balm or a lotion, or bath oil, make sure you label the pot with the date and ingredients. Dilutions must be kept to 2% or below to prevent irritation and allergies, drug interactions. Consult a dilution chart.

I have been attending the Max Meditation sessions with Lisa regularly for about 6 months now and can confidently say it’s changed so many aspects of my life and provided me with so many tools to live my empowered self 🧘♀️✨🌌 Before starting, I just couldn’t truly meditate, didn’t feel the point to it and got frustrated when people used to talk about the power of meditation. After the first session, I truly felt the power of meditation and the affect it has on my mind, body, soul, and the decisions I make every day for my highest self. I can not integrate the meditative tools at any moment to support me. I feel like my truest self and light can now shine freely and unapologetically. Lisa is an amazing mentor and support in the lives of so many 🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
I had the most amazing experience with Life Activation and would certainly recommend to anyone!Lisa’s knowledge and professionalism takes you to another level, l can’t recommend her highly enough.
Lisa is amazing at what she does, very welcoming, open and honest. I had the Cinderella Facial and it is by far my favourite treatment to have, products are gorgeous and it’s so relaxing and rejuvenating. Definitely recommend x
If I could give Lisa 10 stars then I would. My nails have been so weak due to going through cancer treatment. Lisa did my nail extensions for my nieces wedding and I've had 2 lots of infills since. They have all stayed in place for over 3 weeks at a time. Lisa is wonderful, she puts you at ease and will happily chat about anything and everything. Looking forward to having some healing therapy soon.
I had the huge pleasure of having Lisa's new Indian head massage treatment. I must say it is nothing like I have had before, and the effects it has had has been phenomenal. When Lisa initially said it will ground me, calm me etc I was thinking surely this is just a head massage! I was wrong. Gratefully so, I am calmer in my day to day, and I feel like I can actually face the world again! Highly recommended. As always Lisa is exceptionally gifted in what she does.
I'm very happy with my nails, which have won lots of admiration from friends and family. Lisa is lovely and gives a great, highly professional service.
Wow! First time seeing Lisa and I had the Divine escape signature massage. I have never felt so relaxed and pampered in my life, a wonderfully indulgent treat and a must if you need to de-stress. I will most certainly be visiting again, such a lovely space and amazing therapist. Thank you Lisa
Lisa was very welcoming and professional and put me at ease straight away. I had a lava shell massage which was very relaxing and I was given a heated eye mask for added relaxation, a lovely touch. I definitely felt the difference afterwards. I would highly recommend her and have already booked my next treatment.
I had an amazing back massage with Lisa on Thursday. It was incredible, I felt so relaxed and think I fell asleep a couple of times. I have been having various treatments with Lisa for many years now. She is so professional, caring and always looking at ways to improve the services she offers.
Lisa is very nice and works very professionally. Her work place is clean. I felt very relaxed after my anti pollution facial and would highly recommend this service.
Love seeing Lisa. Always feel good when I leave. Have been visiting Lisa for many years.
Have been coming to Lisa for quite a few years now. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Always a relaxing 'me" time
Excellent and careful execution of service. Lisa has a very professional and caring attitude.
After my nails suffering so badly with lockdown , one treatment by Lisa has restored them and I am back to being complimented on how fantastic they look . Forget the rest you should only use the best.
I had a distance reflexology/reiki session which to be honest I was sceptical about but I was completely blown away by it. The information and energy that Lisa picked on was incredible and I cannot recommend this service enough. Lisa picked on the colours that I was seeing and even the visualisations I was seeing too! I have moved from being a sceptic to someone starting out on my spiritual journey. Love and light 🙂
highly recommend Lisa, very professional and excellent quality nails every time...wouldn't go anywhere else
I had a ekseption facial peel with Lisa. She was very professional and went through every step of the treatment very thoroughly so I had a very good understanding of the treatment and what to expect and talked me through the aftercare. The results were amazing my fine lines and wrinkles are a lot less visible and my skin feels smoother and looks healthier, I can't wait to start a course of facials to help my skin. Thank you Lisa xx
On Tuesday 15th November I had a 'Life Activation '. I have been going to Lisa for a few years now starting with nails and brows and as the Spiritual side of her business grew it helped me to grow in strength....both mentally and spiritually so the life activation was the next natural step. I wasn't nervous as I knew that I was safe with Lisa and I could trust her totally. After the Activation I felt different but it wasn't until the evening that I realised that I felt 'Complete' .... It's a very difficult feeling to express but I just feel calm and at peace with myself. I have for many years suffered with 'anxiety and depression' but now as soon as a negative thought gets into my head the 'problem' somehow gets sorted.....I write the solution down for my own benefit.....just incase I forget. Thankyou Lisa for being one of the most amazing people that I've ever met 💞
Lisa is a fantastic nail technician, her skill, knowledge and attention to detail are fantastic. Lisa took the time to discuss the different products and options for my nail service. I love that I can come with absolutely no idea what colour of design I want, and Lisa knows me so well that she creates amazing designs that are so me. My nails last so well. I highly recommend, and most of all it’s great to have a good chat and proper laugh 😆
My first treatment very relaxing, closed my eyes I could feel my feet like pins and needles not hands, then all my relations that passed away came forward to say hello which was an amazing experience in its self, lisa managed to pick up all my health issues too, would I do it again hell yes 👍 everyday if I could 🤗
