Beauty 🌹🏵️✨

Intuitive reading for today: THE BEAUTY WAY ✨

Deck: The Inner Temple Oracle

Beauty is about much more than appearance and aesthetics. Beauty always has a deeper purpose and it doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is, which is why it takes our breath away.

Life is beautiful. But it isn’t pretty. Beauty is very different from pretty. Pretty is perfect, but it’s static, fixed, paper‐thin. It holds no substance; it has no depth and it’s not really alive. Pretty never lasts, but beauty is timeless. Beauty holds the essence of Life; it contains within it the great mystery.

Birth and death are beautiful; love is beautiful; friendship is beautiful; growth is beautiful. All things that are beautiful have a tension within them. Perhaps it’s this tension that makes them beautiful, for we appreciate how much of a blessing and a miracle they are when we witness them in their fleeting state, in that never‐to‐be‐seen‐again moment. Babies are beautiful, flowers are beautiful, the ocean is beautiful, Life is beautiful. You’re beautiful.

Beauty transforms the beholder through its brutal honesty; it activates the breath of life as we exhale in awe, and this brings us into the present moment. If you open your eyes, you’ll see that this world is made up of such beauty. And if you do your best to acknowledge it when you can, you’ll be brought instantly into the present moment.

You’ll be inspired to embrace your true nature and sacred purpose, for it’s the fact that all things change that makes them all the more beautiful in each moment. This card is a reminder to seek the beauty of this world and your life. And in turn, to create beauty wherever you go.

Sharing more writing soon and new ways to connect with me as a teacher, guide & community member. 💕 this page has never had a heavy marketing focus - I have tended to be a bit old school with my social media - for better or worse.

I hope you are well in these final months of the year of the wood snake ~ looking forward to the year of the fire horse

How has your practice been working for you lately? Or not? It’s okay to switch it up! Sunrise has been such a powerful time of quiet presence for me lately. 🌅

Neuroscience now supports what yoga has taught for centuries—mantras are a potent tool for relaxation.

✨ So much suffering comes from assumptions…
We make up stories, believe they are true, and react as if they are reality.
And just like that, we enter conflict, confusion, and disconnection.

What if, instead, we paused and got curious?
What if we asked questions instead of making assumptions?

🌬️ This is the power of awareness.

I love this for all practitioners and teachers! There's no such thing as being "bad" at yoga! 🩷 "Yoga is a personal journey focused on self-discovery and growth, rather than a competition or skill-based activity. Everyone's practice is unique, and the goal is to be present and learn from the experience, not to achieve perfection in poses"

Because no one tells you what you truly need to know.
