I feel fine this way—just the way I am. I could list all the things that might not be good about my looks, but why should I do that?
You know it's true: when you feel the light shining within you, you will radiate that. This is different from physical beauty. That's why it doesn't help to try to enhance your beauty in artificial ways: it does not make you more beautiful from the inside.
I know a lot of women who have breast implants and fillers, etc. I don't judge you! On the contrary, I think you are beautiful! So beautiful, in fact, that I think you don't need all those things!
If you focus on the real you, embrace and accept yourself, and be grateful for who you are and the life you have been given, you will radiate. What do all those things mean, after all, in the light of your true beautiful self?
I'm sad that so many women nowadays have eyelashes so thick that it looks like stage makeup. It does not match their hair and eyebrows and hardens the face. It distracts from the features, from the expression of the eyes, really.
Or the plastic nails: they make the hands look so strange, with the plastic. I admit that my nails look dirty often, and I should take more care. But to have fake nails, ruining my skin and natural nails, and thinking that looks prettier, no, not for me.
We don't have to be perfect! And we don't have to live up to a beauty standard that mainstream media is feeding us: it's not real. We are real, and we have birthed children and we age. That does not mean we're not beautiful or that we don't deserve love. Who put that in our minds? It's not truth, and it's not loving to think like that.
Let's celebrate the beauty of natural breasts, for example. They are soft, a unique trait of women cherished by children and men. Artificial enhancements can potentially harm you, and they do not make you more feminine.
Femininity is something you already carry; you are feminine. It's something you can connect to, feel and radiate.
For me, wearing the right colours that match your skintone and hair, wearing clothes that have the right cut for your body type, have the haircut that suits the shape of your face and your type of hair, for example, are all things that can enhance your beauty.
And they're not invasive. There are so many things you can do to feel pretty, such as having a healthy, natural lifestyle. You can put coconut oil in your hair, make an avocado mask; women have done these things for ages.
It's time that women embrace themselves and feel good about themselves. If you can love yourself unconditionally, you know you don't need all those enhancements and you know that you want to nurture yourself and your body, not poison it.
When we have our Red Tent, every month, one of the things that often comes to the fore, is loving yourself unconditionally.
Why are you so hard on yourselves, thinking you're not good enough, not slim enough, not pretty enough, not young enough?
If you go past the self-doubt and deprecation, you find your true self. And that's what it's all about: finding that anchor within, that knowing that you are love, you are light, and you are loved. This stretches beyond your body, your identity, and even this life.
I love all women, young and old, with saggy and silicone breasts, wrinkly and filled up pretty faces: you are all beautiful to me. That's why I love doing the Red Tent: to see all those beautiful unique talented women, that's a great joy!
When women heal during the Red Tent, then my mission is accomplished!
It's time to love yourself 💗
