Embracing Natural Beauty Through Meditation

Meditation Classes in Melbourne, FL

As I sit here on vacation, random topics popped into my head on what I should write about. I figured since I am traveling maybe I should write a piece about a traveling beauty regime or packing tips. All things I personally could use help with but when I got to my hotel room and saw what you see above, I was stopped dead in my tracks. My head went clear. Every idea I had, large and small, was erased. The photo, although pretty does not do it justice. The soothing sounds of rippling water gently passing coupled with the clean, crisp mountain air made me appreciate each breath I get on this planet. Truly the most beautiful place I have ever seen in person. This view alone should be one of the seven natural world wonders. To think just pure nature created this is a phenomenon in itself. I immediately appreciated all the natural beauty of this land and its uniqueness.

I first observed the river running, noticing the thousands of matchless ripples working in sync to make one beautiful motion. Next my eyes went straight to the stunning Rocky Mountains, they appear like one giant fixture, but are made up of several masses and differing topography to make one majestic backdrop.  I also couldn’t look pass the deafening silence of the outside world, hearing only the remote sound of wildlife and the soothing noise of the river.  This is truly a great place to be one with your soul and reflect.

This made me realize the value of thinking about ourselves and embracing our own natural beauty. I know I am being extremely hypocritical as I am harder on myself then someone getting roasted; however being here made me realize the importance of natural beauty and loving yourself. We are all born looking differently, it’s time to embrace what makes us unique. You might have certain features you want to change or dream of looking like someone else but all your components make one beautiful, YOU.

A lot of us hear this or even say it ourselves, but our actions seldom reflect it. Whether it’s tanning our skin, dying our hair, getting plastic surgery and everything large and small in between we need to be more like nature and start embracing our own natural look more. What you are, makes you one of a kind and that makes you beautiful. You may hate your hair color or maybe think blondes really do have more fun, but your natural shade is what makes you, you. Some feel that we change our appearances to look different, but if we all keep altering our appearance, eventually we might all look the same. I am not saying never try out a new hair color or forego makeup, but just remember to love yourself. Treat your body like a wonder of nature, take care of yourself, live a healthy lifestyle and appreciate your natural beauty. Really embrace how you were made and what makes you different from everyone else.

It can be hard to achieve this mindset overnight. Meditation is a great stepping stone to reach this mentality.  Try at-home breathing exercises. Find a spot that is quiet and you feel relaxed in. Take deep breaths focusing on yourself and trying to find your center. Another great alternative is a meditation class. They really help you focus on the development of your inner and higher self. Essentials offers meditation classes under the direction of their Reiki Master Teacher, Renne Masse. She is amazing, each meditation is per-determined and revolve around a specific intention.

Your Intention is extremely powerful and is what will gain in strength the more you follow this practice. Intention allows for other goals and objectives to manifest in life. There is always something to be grateful for, especially in nature. Use this to help you find your center and connect with your soul. Meditation can be a great tool. Whether you have an ocean nearby, beautiful woods or glowing sunsets to look at. Get out there and appreciate nature for all its beauty and embrace your own natural beauty.
