I think, being healthy is the state in which you radiate beauty. Beauty to me evokes a feeling of safety, stability, inspiration & joy. It’s a spark, or promise of what’s to come. Holl*istic Beauty is about more than just health & beauty its about thriving.
When you see a beautiful view of the sunrise coming up over the lush green mountains what do you feel & why? When you see the beauty in someone, what is that? What about them speaks beauty? Is it a smile, that glow, the way they carry them self. Or maybe it’s a feeling they evoke in you? I believe when we’re in a state, where we feel alive & still feel grounded that’s true health & that is when you radiate that glow, that beauty. Holistic Beauty is more than just your physical body its your body + mind + your spirit in alignment. In my 6 month program we cover Nutrition, Movement, Mindset, Connection & Purpose. With out balance in these areas one will always override the other.
nutrition
“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatness force in getting well.
Food should be medicine and medicine our food. "
-Hippocrates
Movement
Physical activity doesn’t have to be strenuous. Being healthy doesn’t mean killing yourself at the gym. Your body always knows whats best for you right now. Do what feels good & feels like fun. As you get stronger what feels good might go from walking around the block to hiking on trail OR lifting at the gym to yoga on your mat. Practice presence & listen to your body, it will tell you where to go next.
mindset
“Meditation opens the door between the conscious and subconscious mind. We meditate to open up the operating system of the subconscious, where all of those unwanted behaviors reside, and change them to more productive modes to support us in our lives.” - Dr Joe Dispenza
Connection
“ I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen heard and valued: when they can give and receive without judgement; & when they derive sustenance and strength from their friendship”- Berne Brown
Having fulfilling relationships or a sense of community can dramatically reduce our stress levels and activate our parasympathetic nervous system which helps our immune system protect us against disease & allows the body to fully function at its best.
purpose
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for. ”
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
