Good Morning and happy Sunday. Good coffee again today. Here's a plug for Starbucks Morning Blend or it could be the organic milk I add. I really taste a difference. So, YUM! Feeling so relaxed because I know I have an additional day to my weekend which is always great! AND, I am doing something very special for myself today. I am attending a Sound Bath Meditation. The person leading the meditation will be using Meditation Bowls. The sounds emanating from these bowls is amazing and several will be used! I will be sure and tell you all about it tomorrow.
I'm wearing my comfy "meditation clothes." What else, black yoga pants and my favorite long sleeved black t-shirt I got from the GAP on sale last year. I seriously think it was about $5.00. Who doesn't love a bargain? Does it really matter what I am going to wear? No. Does it matter what anyone is going to wear? No. Is it a fashion show? Definitely not. Participants will be lying on mats with their eyes closed. Does it matter what you look like?
Well, to some people it DOES matter. Even for Meditation they need to be in the "proper outfit," that what ever they need to look the part. They need to fit in. If what you are doing is true to yourself then who cares? The true you is always there. And what about hair and make-up. Are you kidding? On a Sunday morning? I'm lucky my hair is clean. It is not make-up that makes someone beautiful. It certainly does enhance a pretty face but if what is underneath the skin is ugly then all the make-up in the world won't change that.
Today's quote points that out,"Make sure the beauty you see is also the beauty beneath." We all dress for occasions, even Meditation. We all want to look our best but if our best underneath is mean spirited, that will make itself apparent on the outside as well. Have you ever known someone who you thought was absolutely breathtaking, beautiful or just very pretty but once you got to know them they suddenly were not as breathtaking anymore?
I have. I remember many years ago a woman who I ran is somewhat the same circles as who I truly thought was stunning. However conversations were always negative and downright nasty. She had become in my eyes someone I wanted to avert at all costs since being around her had began to make me very uncomfortable. The fact is we all know people like that. Beautiful package on the outside but when you open it up it's spoiled. Make-up does not cover up nasty. Nothing does. We all have our negative days but we need never to have nasty ones. It's amazing how they come right through.
Whatever it is you are doing today, wear make-up or just wear yourself! If your inner thoughts are beautiful that is what will be projected. Project yourself to the world today on this Sunday as you are! Have a beautiful day because you are too!~Love, Amy
