true beauty


The idea that beauty is only a skin deep is superficial. True beauty emanates from deep within and reflect outward. It is seen and felt through a spark in the eyes, a natural smile, a lightness of being, a peaceful mind, a joyful spirit and a healthy glow that shines through our entire self.
You certainly don`t get real beauty from synthetic Botox injections, chemical peels or face lifts. Even if huge amounts are spent on these procedures along with beauty products, genuine beauty will remain concealed by continued exposure to stress, harmful toxins, poor diet and lifestyle habits, and negative emotions such as anger, fear, frustration, guilt, envy and hate.
On the physical level, this means constantly getting good exercise, eating the right food, doing regular detoxification and adopting a healthy natural lifestyle. It`s a choice that can make all the difference with the way our body, mind and even emotions function.
Spending 20 minutes outdoors in fresh air for a daily dose of vitamin D from the early morning or late afternoon sunshine gives us a healthy glow. Just as plant get their chlorophyll pigment from the sun and nature draws its life from the solar energy, we benefit from the sun`s gentle life-giving rays. However, beware of overexposure to harmfulrays that lead to premature aging of the skin.
