When is the last time you gazed into the eyes of your own soul through the mirror and emotionally verbalized to the reflection that peered back, “I am beautiful?”

It’s not common practice anymore to admire the beauty, intelligence and growth of our reflection when we often are carried away by the more entertaining distraction of technology.

Self-admiration can often appear as a vain revolving door if not in check with our reality, though.

As it may not appear, we are all universal light, consciousness and stardust and the sliding scale of betterment is not recognized within this blog, so check your ego at the door.

I’m speaking to the faces that avoid the mirror. I’m speaking to those who stair into the the skin and see all of which is out of their control unfolding from the tissues out. I’m speaking to the light hearted who dream of being all but who they are in front of them.

We can become very caught up in our vanity not realizing the potency of our actual inner radiance. When we’re living wholeheartedly in a way that our everyday is a self discovery to purpose driven improvement and growth, looking at our reflection becomes less of a shame game and more of a session in empowerment. Naturally, the rest of life seems to flow slightly more effortlessly when we’re in our rhythm of life, attracting the best for ourselves, and making conscious decisions for our inner peace and power.

But how the hell do I get there?

The practice of emanating inner radiance comes from doing the shadow work to see what’s causing the shade. It’s about seeing. Not only from seeing our flaws, our patterns, our wounds, our ugly from a whole heart do we begin to understand ourselves but we also are gifted with this opportunity to utilize the “ugly.” In that seeing, we can wok with it, in harmony, rather than fighting ourselves.

Much like we like to do while we think we can prevent our faces from aging.

So what I'm speaking to is soul-work.

Deep rooted wisdom in our bandaged scars that can be mutable. There’s no flaw in this life that is intended to be either bad or good.

When you see yourself in the mirror do you see the heavy deepish red or purple rings around the eyes and feel the sorrow of not giving yourself enough sleep, or do you feel the years of experience and life you’ve breathed?

Perspective, unlike most things in life, is actually in our hands. You get to choose your perspective. Your perspective might be tainted or influenced by who and what surrounds you, but you STILL get to see the world through the lens that you choose. And be careful for those rose tinted glasses that like to appear.

So just as heavy as those rings might feel, what if every crease held a fragment of a positive experience that you lived through and gained wisdom from? What if the hills outside the eyes told stories of their past lives instead of the shame of gravity?

These aspects of our vanity are just the suit of armor we wear to fit ourselves into a tangible reality. If you were to erase that protective layer down to solely energy, would you like what you felt?

I am beautiful.

I Am beautiful.

I Am Beautiful.
