From an early age as young girls we are drilled about our appearances. It’s captured in story books, fairy tales, advertisements, music videos, magazines. They are all coloured with beautiful images of women (or so we think). How we look on the outside seems to be important in our society.

What is the secret to true beauty? How do we feel comfortable in our skin and happy with our reflections in the mirror, even as men, it doesn’t just affect women. The secret is not external beauty, it’s internal beauty. If we are internally beautiful, the love and acceptance we have for ourselves will be reflected in our outer appearance. If we give, share generously and show compassion for our human race and our planet we will not see the outside so much but the inside. If we work and perfect our exteriors and allow our interiors to rot the external beauty will never last. To feel truly beautiful you have to work on your interior, on your soul, carve and chip away at the flaws in our personalities not the flaws in our physical appearance.

So how do we carve internal beauty? We work on our character, in Arhatic Yoga it is called “character building.”  The protocol for Pranic Facial Rejuvenation and Body Sculpting involves doing the Meditation on Twin Hearts, why? Because this makes you loving, it activates your heart chakra and your crown chakra, love transforms, we cannot sustain external beauty without internal love radiating from every pore. We have to look at ourselves, a good look at inside why don’t we love ourselves just the way we are, who decided that a typical size, shape or outlook is appealing and another is not? No one, we tell ourselves. We must be aware of our thought forms every thought is creating a part of our reality. No one can say your aren’t beautiful if you feel beautiful inside, if you love yourself, show love and kindness to everyone, even those that hurt you, forgive internally (not necessarily externally, depending on the situation) you will find a light shines through and makes you glow. Like the sun creeping through the forest, welcoming another day, the sun is beautiful and so is the forest. So we will love ourselves, have healthy positive self talk everyday, show this love to others as well and forgive other beings, don’t harbour resentment. Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the most internally beautiful with them all? You if you decide to be….
