Beauty - discovered and exposed!

What is beauty?
Is it attraction? Is it physical, spiritual? Is it something you see or something you feel?

All the dictionary definitions I found indicate that it is a feeling that is generated by the thing which is being perceived as "beautiful."
For example:
beau·ty [byoo-tee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun, plural -ties.
1.the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).
("beauty." Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 04 Oct. 2008. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/beauty>.)

It is a quality that causes a sense of deep satisfaction or pleasure to the person perceiving it. As the old saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

It also seems that a thing of beauty has a spiritual aspect to it as well. It is something that resonates deep in your soul. It is something that will resonate with me if it's component can be found inside my own soul, which is why some things are universally considered beautiful while others are very specific to the individual. I find transient things in Nature beautiful. Something about a things that change so rapidly and yet with such precision resonates with me and brings me joy. Others might be very uncomfortable by a bed of decaying leaves, but I see the potential for new life. Some may feel dismay at seeing bare leaves against a gray sky, but I revel in the contrast of it and derive pleasure at the beauty of the changing seasons and the systems and the cycles of the year.

As women, this is not a foreign concept to us. We exist in a cycle with our bodies, and in order to see the truth and the beauty in our bodies, we need to be in harmony with those cycles. It is so alarming to me to hear what people do to avoid getting a period, and yet there are so many women out there that would do anything to feel those familiar discomforts and the ability to create life which it brings.

Take a moment to breath with me, and become completely one with the beauty of your body. The beauty of a body that was created as God desired (Jewish women have the opportunity to say this every day, in the morning blessings it says, Source of Blessings, God, who created me according to His desires.") How deep is that? How excellent a thought? Who is the Ultimate Beholder if not God? And you were created, not only in His image as all humans are, but more so, according to God's desire!

You, personally and individually, you were created in this way. So stop stressing about what you're doing on the outside to make sure that other people think you're beautiful! Take a deep breath and consider that if you can find the true beauty inside yourself, if you can tap into that and access it and exude it through your actions and your words, then - and only then, can you posses the kind of beauty that is universal and cannot help but be perceived by everyone you encounter! Even while you inspire them to delve into their own souls and come in contact with their own true beauty as well!

Blessings of joy and love and (of course!) beauty,

Create Your Most Beautiful Life

Whole Body Beauty is my gift to each and every woman to be able to create beauty in every aspect of her life. As we grow through each stage of life, beauty means different things. As little girls, we dream of the grace and precision of ballerinas, of the ethereal fantasy of fairies, and the splendor and magnificence of princesses.

As we grow, we become awed by actresses, singers, models. Stepping into a higher level of maturity, we begin to see the beauty in nature, and in knowledge, and in art. Beauty is in the careers we choose, the relationships we create, the families we build.

As women, multitasking is our trademark, juggling is something we do better than any trained performer. We balance our spouse, children, boss, clients, the teachers, the neighbors, the extra-curricular activities, often our spouse's boss and clients as well... until the goal becomes "keeping it all together" instead of "loving every minute!"

Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths. Imagine you are looking into a magic mirror, and this mirror reflects the most ideal version of you. The image in this mirror can only be the perfect image of how you desire to see yourself. Notice every aspect of this image. What does your hair look and feel like? What color is it? How radiant is your skin? Are your eyes clear and awake? Are your lips smiling? Or are they content? What is the overall condition of your body in that reflection? What are you wearing? Look around you in the reflection. Notice the people that are in your ideal life, and if the images of those people are unclear, at least notice how they make you feel.

Open your eyes. How close is that image to reality? On a scale of 1-5, 1 being "I am right on target!" And 5 being "I don't even recognize that imaginary reflection" rate your thoughts.
If you answered 1 - that's wonderful! Keep doing what you're doing and continue enjoying your life! If you answered 2, 3 or 4, ask yourself if you have any ideas of how to bring reality closer to your vision? Could you benefit from getting some feedback about some of the aspects of your reality that are out of sync with your ideal "you"? And if you answered 5 - well, then don't hesitate for a minute! Take the first step towards that ideal "you" by calling or emailing me for a free information session!

I have been helping women create beauty in their lives in so many different ways over the past seven years, and I have created a network of professionals who do the same. Stress relief, and pain relief through massage and reflexology is just as important to your inner beauty as proper skin care and cosmetics are to your outer appearance. Other connected areas include general health and nutrition; information and support around fertility, gynecological health, pregnancy and menopause; the truth about product and drug safety; alternatives to allopathic medicine, such as chiropractic care, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, homeopathy and naturopathy; family and couples counseling; life and business coaching; your living environment and interior decorating; even financial health is something that affects your ability to feel and experience joy and beauty in your life.

I have spent my life in pursuit of true beauty and I am so pleased and excited to be able to offer what I have found, and what I have done to every mother and daughter and sister. We are women. We have an internal connection to each other, and to those that have come before us - and intrinsically to those who we will bring into this world after us. We are created to be creators, and our strength is in the beauty that we have within us.

Welcome to Whole Body Beauty, welcome to your most beautiful life!
