One of the most beautiful supermodels of our time is quoted as saying the following:
“I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within,” she says. “When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out .” -Christy Turlington
I truly share her sentiment. That is why I strive every day to find this balance. Beauty truly comes from within.
Christy Turlington studies the Ayurveda philosophy. I just read about it and find it very interesting. I plan to research it more.
Ayurveda:
The theoretical side of Ayurveda provides insights into how to live one's life in harmony with nature and natural laws and rhythms. Its practical side - specifically its guidelines for an intelligently regulated diet and daily routine, its techniques for stress management, and its exercises for increased fitness and alertness-help us take control of our lives and develop radiant health.
The central goal of Ayurveda is nothing less than a state of perfect health, for the individual and for society and the environment as well, in which every man and woman is inwardly in balance and outwardly in harmony with the environment and the laws of nature.
According to Ayurveda, nature is permeated by intelligence. Intelligent laws govern the growth of all living things; kittens grow into cats, acorns into oak trees. Indeed, laws of nature regulate everything, from the tiny world of whirling atoms to the huge, enormous world of galaxies.
I love the message in each picture:
Unity
Connect with all living beings in mind, spirit and heart.
Grace
Align yourself with the universe, becoming conscious of your inner self as well as everything around you.
Harmony
Discover the delicate balance between creating meaningful relationships and sustaining them while maintaining your independence; equalize the mind and body.
