"Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you." ~ Yogananda
Beauty is always present within us. There is always beauty to find around us too.
Seeing beauty, even in small things, can strengthen us. Appreciating beauty, even in small ways, can lead up to peace.
One way to respond when we feel any emotion of unrest - when we experience anything other than peace, calm, and confidence - is to pause, and, as best we can, become still, be silent, and be willing to witness beauty.
Consider trying this:
Slow and deepen your breath.
Soften your face.
Soften your body.
Close your eyes.
Open your eyes again, and notice what form of beauty you experience, however subtle it may be.
One way we can surely see beauty is to act with beauty. Be kind. And see the beauty in your kindness.
With love,
Charlene
