Being Beauty -- Mind, Body, and Spirit Connection

   By Sedena C. Cappannelli

Is your physical energy and spirit low? Is your mind confused? Do you feel less than beautiful?

Each of these emotions is a message or trigger from our minds, bodies and spirits telling us to listen, to look deeper, to slow down and pay attention in order to correct these imbalances before they become a dis-ease in our bodies.

We are built as whole energy systems. By listening to the personal messages that our system is giving us and practicing ways to connect this whole system of mind, body and spirit we become loving caretakers of our energy. Just like connecting a plug into its electric outlet, this connection releases our tremendous inner life energy and plugs us into our truly unlimited power source.

An old Chinese expression says "where the mind goes, the Chi, or energy will follow." When our minds focus on, resist or deny negative emotions the energy gets stuck inside our bodies and can cause physical and mental discomfort and illness and disconnect us from our spirits. True beauty, health, and balance come from keeping this energy moving efficiently throughout the body and engaging the mind, the emotions, the body and the breath.

Whenever there is an imbalance in the flow of this Chi or life energy there will be a disparity or a shortness of breath. We can literally gauge our life's energy by the fullness of our breath. Shortness of breath is a sign that an emotion is shutting us down and cutting off our life energy. Rather than trying to repress the emotion or ignore it, we can accept it for what it is, a part of us at that moment. We can breathe deeply into the feeling and allow it to pass through us.

"Breathe in and inspire" positive energy and then breathe out and release or "expire" all doubts and constrictions. By breathing through the emotions that are present you are literally inspiring yourself! You are allowing your true beauty to emerge from the covering of emotions.
