Meditation and Beauty


Meditation and Beauty

Meditation releases the unlimited power of the subconscious. It enhances inner as well as outer beauty. Ageless body and timeless mind can be achieved by daily practice of meditation, listed below are practical tips for effective result-oriented meditation.

Beauty is more than skin deep. It is feeling and being beautiful inside out.This is very important, irrespective of the number of cosmetics a woman applies, if she is not mentally and physically healthy, she will not be truly beautiful. Our face is like a mirror, it reflects our innermost thoughts, expressions and feelings almost involuntarily and so does it show the quality of mental and physical balance that a person has maintained. And this balance is the cue to a truly beautiful and charming personal. Beauty therapies if supplemented with regular practice of correct meditation a woman's face will bring forth her inner balance and tranquility.

What does meditation do?

1) Builds concentration

Effective meditation helps develop concentration. The power of the mind is enhanced and thereby stress levels are cut down drastically. Lower stress, automatically means better control over situation and a relaxed frame of mind even in difficult times, which invariably means a happy and radiating face and an active body to match.

2) Matured and thoughtful attitude

The meditation leads to a thoughtful attitude towards every task in life. Such an attitude reduces stress levels and enables an individual to see the best in every situation. This optimism reduces the ageing process and enables a woman to be in best shape in body and mind.

3) Enhancement in positive emotions

Meditation enhances positive emotions like love, respect, happiness etc. Positive emotions are very useful for balanced secretion of vital hormones within the body. Negative emotions like anger, hatred, jealously etc. are harmful to the body. Positive emotions make us young and energetic, happy and joyful.

4) Unleashing the power of the subconscious mind

During meditation we pacify our conscious mind and activate the subconscious mind. We can use the unlimited power of our subconscious mind through meditation. We can achieve beauty, health, vigor, vitality, happiness etc. by taking the help of the divine mind within us.

Form this article, I think if we do the meditation regularly, we can make ourselves happy and beautiful. I also think that being beautiful inside is more important than outside. But I cannot do the medition more than 10 minutes because I cannot concentrate for a long time. Meditation is quite difficult for me. But thinking positive is a good way for me to reduce the stress when I get angry in my daily life. Moreover, it is true that when I happy from inside, my face is getting bright. But when I am in the bad mood, there is a spot on my face and my face is getting dark.

The beauty is in the eye of beholder



Have you ever heard of “The beauty is in the eye of beholder”? What if the beholder changes his/her mind a lot? Where is a destination of beauty? If we still not satisfy by the beauty that we have.

This is the era that plastic surgery has become very popular all over the world. People can change any parts of their body that they don’t like, the doctors can do it very well now just like they mold a piece of clay and put it back on the body. After a painful night, the patient will wake up with their new part of body which make them full of self-confidence.

There are many TV programs about making over to a new look which revive your life to be more beautiful by cosmetic surgery. It shows that being beautiful is just another product that you can buy from a surgeon as many times as you want (if you have money).

In 2004, there was a news about a Korean singer who suffer from cosmetic surgery which turned her into a monster. She was very popular in Korea and moved to Japan where She started her first surgery with the unqualified doctor. She had many surgeries in Japan. One day, she came back to her family. Nobody could remember her. They realized her problem and sent her to get fixed both psychically and mentally, but she resisted. Anyway, She asked many surgeons in Korea for more operations. The only answer she got was “No”, so she injected paraffin oil into her face by herself and finally ended up being a monster. With help from people, she got another 15 operation and became normal again.

So, what is the meaning of being beautiful for these people? if they cannot stop getting cosmetic surgery. Will there be many of real Barbie dolls walking on the same street with us in the near future? And They might finally end up with the psychologist not the surgeon as usual.

I think, plastic surgery is good if that can heal the health’s problem or fulfill your satisfaction for a few parts of your body. But if you really change to be a new you and leave all your background behind. I really think that you should think about beauty from “inner” before you realize that you are one of the fashion victim by cosmetic surgery.
