Feel Beautiful without Make-up! - 8 Dec 08

08 Dec 2008  Luneburg, Germany

Category: Self-confidence

Swami Ji

I talked about make-up yesterday and I wanted to add something. Often women say ‘I do make up for myself, not to show it to anybody. I want to feel beautiful and be happy because of this feeling.’ As I said yesterday, it is good, this can give a little push for a good mood as many people have a good mood when they are just wearing clothes that they bought new and in which they feel beautiful. But I want to emphasize that you need to feel beautiful also if you are not wearing these clothes and if you are not wearing makeup. You do not need to wear this mask and costume to feel beautiful. Otherwise you will not feel beautiful anymore when you wash your face in the evening and change clothes?

beauty depends on perception. If you love someone, is it your partner, a friend, or a family member, you will see beauty in that person because his or her soul is beautiful to you. When someone comes for a healing session I recommend not wearing make-up. I like to see the real face, not the mask. I give make-up for the soul, so there is no need to wear make-up for the body. I believe that each soul has its beauty.

It was a wonderful stay in Lüneburg and now we will start our journey to Cologne. I will be back here in February for the Law of Healing seminar.

At home in the UK, I wear very little make up and my mother often tells me I need to wear more "to make the most of myself". I do like to wear mascara because it makes my eyes look bigger - this is definitely for vanity and nothing else! I brought some make up with me to India and it is still in my suitcase after 4 days. Perhaps a lot of us wear make up as a kind of mask when we are feeling a little insecure or need a bit of a boost, which is fine. I think too much make up looks unnatural and makes me wonder what the person is hiding underneath.

Make up is okay I think, but I think guys should be able to wear makeup too. iI love guyliner.

My sister used to spend at least an hour putting on makeup everyday. She did not love herself then. now she feels confident and goes out without much makeup at all, I am proud that she feels good about herself finally.

Words of Wisdom

  • Belief

    People believe in superstition because it gives rest and comfort to the mind. It is the human nature that you want to believe only what is favourable and comfortable for you, even if that is not true.

    Source
  • Responsibility

    Karma is in many ways just a very easy way for irresponsible people to accept bad events and not try to change anything in their behavior or their thinking.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.

    Source
  • Charity

    Charity means giving, not expecting anything in exchange. Give and Take is business. Only giving is charity.

    Source
  • Stress

    Stress because of age is a western problem. In India many people don't even know their birthdate! Age is just a number.

    Source
  • Decision

    When you trust that you were honest and had a good intention, don’t regret your decision or the result.

    Source
  • Sex

    The engineers and architects of erotic sculptures in temples all over India had not come from the west, they were Indians! So don't blame the west for being sexually explicit - it is a part of ancient Indian culture, too!

    Source
  • Love

    You can fall in love with anybody, from any caste. Love cannot be controlled. It doesn’t see higher or lower castes!

    Source
  • Life

    Do anything that makes you feel good. We have this life now and we need to live it. There is always time to enjoy life, we just have to take it!

    Source
  • Victim

    Many people try with force and effort to keep happiness away because they want to be victims. They are always sad and hurt, no matter what happens.

    Source
  • Sex

    The push of sexual force onto your mind can even make angry and violent. That is why it is good to let sexual energy flow in body and soul, not in the mind.

    Source
  • Negativity

    If you are focused on negativity, you will attract negativity. You should be focused on positivity, then you will attract positive things for your life. It can be difficult to rebuild positivity but it is necessary in order to be happy.

    Source
  • Sex

    If you work with sex, do it, but don't call a sex workshop a Tantra workshop!

    Source
  • Religion

    Higher caste Hindus treat lower-caste people as humans of second grade and untouchable. But imagine you are born a lower-caste Hindu. Would you enjoy being a Hindu? Would you be proud and happy to be a member of this religion?

    Source
  • Rules

    I do not like rules. I said many times that we are always living in rules but we should make it a rule to break one rule daily. But that should be your decision and not controlled by anyone else.

    Source
  • Fear

    If someone wants to help you, find out whether he tries to make you afraid or if he gives you love and helps you through compassion and being with you. In this love you can heal, fear cannot heal you.

    Source
  • Religion

    Not every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.

    Source
  • Enlightenment

    There are many funny different offers in which people sell ways to get internal peace, to reach enlightenment or to get any funny kind of soul reconnection. People want the outer appearance of an inner solution to be shiny and glamorous, something special and new. But how can you get peace while being bombarded with offers?

    Source
  • Sex

    Possessiveness comes when the mind is involved in sex. If our sexuality is on the level of spirit or soul, possessiveness will not appear.

    Source
  • Friend

    Take a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!
