Narcissism

We are all great lovers of beauty we love seeing it everywhere appreciating it in others. When it comes to ourselves we somehow fail to do it, even if somebody does he/she is accused of narcissism.
We look at ourselves in the mirror with certain expectations and preconceived notions; we can only see the blemishes and short comings. Sometimes we our beauty in a shallow way noticing how well we conform to patterns, social norms but failing to se and accept the beauty within.
If we accept the beauty of who we are then we can free up so much of energy. we depend on appreciation and feed back is less, measuring to a social ideal it becomes less relevant.
The nrtya yoga helps us release this baggage within ourselves and summoning for the spirit that dwells within us. It is the heady combination of the divine spirit and the human body that convey beauty more accurate than anything else.
Surrounding ourselves with photographs of family that resemble us, with events captured in a unguarded picture, are always to put us in touch with ourselves. The best though is to look at ourselves in the mirror each morning, look into our eyes and see the beauty within, to hell with narcissism.

Embracing womanhood

When a woman honors that she is all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are capable of being.
There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embraces all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are and are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and be willing to share it with others. She teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and inner voice she teaches people around her to trust as well. Clasping hands with family members, and friends, co workers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life she allows all to see the self respect she possesses and accepts their respect too. This respect could be offered through look work and deed.
When a woman can look back into her past doing so without regret and instead of seeing only lessons brought to her current strength and wisdom she embraces the fullness of experience she helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life to the future.
Seeing her divinity a woman learns torecongnize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciated other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition she can look around her to see the cycle of life in the beauty of other women, reminding her of her own radiance.
She can celebrate all the aspects that make her a be worth of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking to express the intellect, sharing emotions and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood reveals the facets that allow her to shine with beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world.
