Restoring Beauty With Rhythm
In the first chapter, Susan examines the value and importance of the inner and outer rhythms of our daily lives. She suggests several ways to re-establish and reconnect with our natural rhythms, including weekly herbal baths, regular physical activity, daily relaxation and meditation. "One of the most powerful ways to establish peace in your life and restore your beauty is to live in harmony with your inner rhythms. Inside you is an internal clock whose pulsations determine when you should wake up in the morning, when you should eat, when your energy levels are peaking, and when it's time for you to rest. These rhythms determine the ebbs and flows of your life." The Healing Power of Plants
The way we look and feel is a direct result of the foods we eat and the products we put on our bodies. In this chapter, Susan details the relationship between healthy plants and healthy people. We get an introduction to the benefits of Biodynamic agriculture, the importance of plants as part of a healthy diet, and the use of healing plants in fostering healthy, beautiful skin. "You have the power to live in a more whole and healthful way. Health and beauty are your birthright, and you can take steps today to improve both." "The next essential step is to eat high-quality plant foods grown in rich, non-polluted soil, meaning produce grown by Biodynamic or, at the very least, organic methods. This same principle must be applied to your skin care products." Practicing Beauty
Here Susan offers a practical, step-by-step guide to transforming our lives into a daily practice of beauty. This chapter features helpful guides for establishing daily and weekly rhythms with practices to enhance mental and physical health. "We need to find time for ourselves. The benefits of the Practicing Beauty Program can affect every area of your life. You will be amazed at how different you will feel about yourself and those around you when you spend just a little more time taking care of yourself." Sustainable Beauty: How Beauty Affects Our World
The consequences of our choices ripple farther than we can imagine. That includes everything from the way in which we treat ourselves and others to the products and services we purchase. Supporting sustainable Biodynamic agriculture and fair trade economics are just a couple of ways in which we can help make a difference. "Your beauty, and all that you do to make yourself more beautiful, can change the world. This is part of the remarkable and mysterious nature of beauty. Ultimately, it is linked to everything we do. It helps shape our world." |
