Feeling Beauty


I think most of us agree that the mainstream media is challenging on the self esteem of a woman. The constant barrage of advertisements trying to convince you that you "need" to look like "this" in order to be loved and admired. So easily we can fall into their trap, feeling inadequate, until we're uncomfortable in our own skin.

One simple truth is
" When you Feel glorious...you Look glorious"

When we can pull away the layers of negative self-talk, and kick the "saboteur" to the curb, we can begin to heal our goddess within. When we allow her to emerge, a sense of grace returns and it emanates through us.
It brings a glow to our skin, a kick in our step, and a surety in our voice. We seem to stand a little taller. Through our grace we begin to love ourselves and each thing about us more and more - with an understanding of gratefulness for every square inch of this vessel we reside in.

How do we feel this grace? We can feel it when we enjoy every aspect of taking care of our body, as if tending to a garden, with patience and tenderness. Allow yourself  Time; time to devote to rituals that make you feel divine. Surround  yourself with colors that make you feel vibrant. Do you have those colors in your wardrobe? Keep vases of cut flowers in your home, maybe even a vase of them where you get dressed or do your hair. Adorn yourself with jewelry and accessories that you normally save for "special" occasions, reminding yourself that every day is a special day. Fill your home with beautiful smells from candles, incense, essential oils, and flowers.
When we take the extra time and care in honoring ourselves, it confirms to our spirit that we love ourselves and becomes apparent on the outside as well as on the inside.

Namaste
