Body Image Is An Inside Job According to Ayurveda

If every time you see a picture  of yourself or look in the mirror you hear that familiar voice, " your so fat, too thin, to red, or any other negative story about your body image you are slowing down your metabolism.

Emotional stress caused by negative thinking has been scientifically proven to slow the metabolism.

What is Beauty? Why do people care about it? How do you transform your body image to allow yourself to embrace your body image and enjoy your look?

Ayurveda incorporates these questions as the core principles of living your unique beauty from finding inside and celebrating on the outside.

Beauty is difficult to define because beauty standards vary from culture to culture and from era to era- and even from year to year. Poets and philosophers have struggled in vain to conquer this beguiling subject.

From plucked eyebrows and ruby red lips to spiked hairs and pierced navels, from rolls of fat and ample thighs to anorexic waifed look, from elongated necks and skulls to scarification and tattoo, from corseted waist and buxom bosoms too bound feet too deformed to walk on- women have been striving and continue to strive to measure up.

Though astonishing in their diversity, beauty standards are inherently limited. And they often involve a heroic amount of effort and discomfort.

Ayurveda does just the opposite-it expands  the possibilities of beauty, helping you find and cultivate true beauty in yourself ,in others, and in the world around you.

Ayurveda teaches beauty is neither a mask that you hide behind, nor someone else's idea, nor the latest trend. It is the outer reflection of the inner you, so it is ultimately honest, individual, and timeless.

Relating to your sense of vibrant health is where Ayurveda begins with relating to your body image. Ayurveda says health and beauty is intrinsically related.

Poor skin, premature wrinkles, dull hair, low energy, depression ,extreme overweight or underweight are outer signs of illness.

But glowing, radiant skin, shiny hair, sparkling eyes, vitality, cheerfulness, and ideal weight are outward signs of inner health.

Inner health is the path to healthy body image. I have seen so many times people lose weight and still have a poor body image. What Ayurveda teaches is to embrace your process of daily care to your unique body type for a healthy body image.

When you use the Ayurveda system of body type self-care its a step by step process to inner and outer beauty.
