Inner beauty
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 11:02AM I have just returned back from the beautiful spiritual Lilydale which was the break that I needed even though I was working which is strange. It was nice to be around like minded people and you find that when you work with spirit you feel isolated sometimes as you feel that you are the only person who gets it, especially when you live where I am.
So it was nice to meet others who were energetically connected in the same way.
But I also met, and not for the first time a guy who has inspired me so much. He is a beautiful soul with an incredible gift however is trapped within a physical body with limitations. But the spirit within him is incredible and over the last few days I have been emailing with him, and I have seen the way his beauty shines within. This is a perfect example of inner beauty.
When his email came in it bought me to tears. I have communicated with his verbally and at my shows but never through emails and I feel bad to admit, it wasn't an easy communication because of his limitations, but I could see the energy from within him and his spirit so you get beyond that.
But his email.... Oh... I was moved, I saw his real loving personality and his true side. It was beautiful and amazing to experience.
I always talk about how we are 2 people the physical and then the soul and this is a perfect example of this. We make judgements on the physical and therefore we sometimes never get to know the soul, and the physical being is just the physical body, but the soul is something else. Its the soul of the person we really need to connect with. Once we do that, you start to see the inner beauty that is within us.
Of course there are those whose souls you don't want to connect with, and that is normal. But now I see if differently, I always have, but it was highlighted to me over the last few days.
Many people come to me, and say that they are never going to meet someone because they are big, small, large nose blah blah blah, but you know if that person wants to connect with you, you will be connected on a soul level. It's not about the physical looks its deeper, and if you have that connection you can't deny it.
There are some people who are all about the physical and how they look and that they believe that they are the best looking person for someone, but looks aren't everything. It's the special shining light that comes from within each and every one of us. There is no point to remaining shallow and thinking that looks will get you everywhere because they won't, my grandfather used to say, looks fade, while beauty will still shine within and its true... so true.
So stop worrying about what you look like, be an inspiration to yourself and realize your inner beauty. Of course if you want to change your appearance then that is fine but know that you are beautiful and the light will always shine within you!
Big hugs

Beautifully said Lisa. ♥♥
It's easy for me to see the inner beauty in other people, no so much in myself. At least not yet... but it's something I'm working on! We all should. xx

What you have written is so true no one could of said it better I hope people learn from the words you have written your awesome
Hugs to you
Thank You
Lisa,
I could not agree with you more... there is way too much attention on irrelevant stuff. I feel the wonderful lessons we learn through life help those of us, who are willing to listen, subsequently understand what's important in life and what's not.
I'm not sure if I have some kind of gift but when I see certain people, not only do I see their inner beauty I also feel it. It’s a wonderful experience that very often gives me Goosebumps.
Keep up your good work.
Kind regards
Jane. :)
Thanks Lisa. This is what I just needed, right now.
God bless you.

thank you Lisa this couldnt have come at a better time...im going through some dnetal issues for the last couple years due to financial issues that to say the least has caused many people to judge the phisical first and some pretty rude coments over those years here that tends to wear on a persons self esteem and look down upon myself due to a pysical issue beyond my control at the moment. i am also i diabetic with apmutations of all my toes on both feet and many people cannot understand or get past that .......i was never one about the phisical of a person and agree its about the soul and whats inside.. but with society putting so much on the phisical and looks and clothing its sometimes hard to keep focus and no let things get to you....and this blog reminded me .. to put focus back where it was and belongs and look beyond the physical and look to the person inside.. if people cannot do that and accept that maybe they are not the people i want in my life.
Hi my love,
Once again many thanks for this most beautiful blog that you have given us. How true that too many of us look at the physical aspect of a human being and not the soul. I
for one try to look a the soul of a person as apposed to the physical. The more you do it the easier it gets but it does take some time.
Okay, my love , i must close before my computer goes haywire on me.
I love you,
Mary
Hey there Lisa,
Beautiful blog that totally inspired me! There are so many people still sleeping and need that spiritual alarm to wake up their soul so they can disguish the physical from the soul. It is sad that so many will go through a lifetime not knowing that inner beauty in themselves and others regardless of their physical limitations. It is not an experience that one can just transfer to another and I have to admit it was one of the hardest lessons I had to learn in the recent months. This does not change your love for a person, but it makes it difficult to constantly be around that shallow low energy way of being that can potentially drain you if you allow it to. For me, I had to literally start over again and let go of things that no longer suited me that included material things, people, old habits, and all preconceptions of what I thought life and love was... as I am sure you know, it is not easy and can leave one feeling very, very isolated and confused. However, as you move past the inital fog and your physical attachments there is a freedom and a beauty that runs deep. It is a true love for humanity, the Universe in the purest form. So when you feel at one with the Universe, you look at others with love knowing that you are connected to you and there really is no room for judgement. There are moments I still have to catch myself from slipping back to those low energy producing things, but surrounding myself with other spiritual minded folks helps me get through those weak moments. It is a lifelong process to enlightment...
Well, thanks once again for inspiring me!!!
Love and Hugs,
DS

As a hairstylist, I am always reinforcing my clients inner beauty. They are always their own worst critic, complaing about how they look. So true, your beauty lies within soul...
(((Dream Spirit))) that was beautifully written!
Lisa, thank you sooooo much for this blog today! Oh my goodness.....such perfect timing. Ive been struggling with this issue since I was 7-8 years old! I was always outwardly judged by how I looked, by family, peers, teachers, everyone it seemed. I always felt they were scrutinizing my outer beauty & I was treated very differently. It made me feel very isolated because I felt nobody was really interested in the inner me. I constantly felt pressure to be thin, beautiful & perfect....the stories I could tell. Oh my. But Im trying everyday to not re-live my "story". The more I write my own script of who I am, like DS & you wrote, its can be isolating once again. I feel the light within & I know that I am worthy, always was.....
Thank you for sharing about your friend! : )
Hi Lisa,
I read your blog for the first time today. Congratulations for sharing the message about inner beauty.
2004 I choose to try and change my body, and did..
I lost 79kgs in weight eating healthy and exercising.. I felt good, but friends and family told me I had change. Yes I did change, my outer body was different, but inside I was and still am me.
Hurt, can cause the mind to go crazy. I did for some time travel a journey of self doubt.
Remembering I am me, and God created me to be me, and accepting this, now I moving forward again..
Lisa, thank you for being you

The blog is awesome I know who he is and I had the honor of meeting him in your class last year thank you for seeing the real beauty in everyone including those of us who are different abled .
Much love and light,
Melissa
Awesome blog! xxxx
I have to say that a lot of people judge us on our physical appearance and don't get to know who we are inside. I would like to go to Bali to visit Family but feel inferior because I am just a regular person and don't have the same income so can't afford the sort of clothes they wear. It is a real conflict for me at the moment.
Thank you for your blogs. I love reading them.
What a beautifull message and soooo true!!!
Thank you,
Lisa!!!
Love and light,

(((((Paige)))) I have gotten to know you in the recent months and you are a kind giving soul and I am thankful you connected with me. Your light within shines bright and those who can't see it are still asleep so it is certainly not a reflection on you in any way. Just continue to be who you are and just know the angels are walking along side of you.
Love and Hugs,
DS
lovely blog good reminder to people :) the lyrics from an old song popped into my head... A rose will bloom it then shall fade so does youth... from the old romeo and juliet sound track...
Lisa - I had the pleasure of being mother to an earth angel as you described. The beauty that she excuded was apparent through her eyes, her smile her total being. Even though she was trapped inside her body, barely able to move, no way of speaking, with a body that wouldn't do what she asked it to, her eyes often would look to the left when she wanted to look at you. I knew she was in there and those special moments that she was able to connect with us and the rest of the world were special and truly something to cherish. Our last weekend in church, usually she slept through it, she opened her eyes and smiled at the pastor's wife. Just that brief encounter with her was a like a shot straight to the soul. Her laugh and her smile was no ordinary smile it came straight from the soul and it reached into your soul.
There are many many more people out there who are disabled and medically fragile who we don't see because they are at home or in care facilities. They are pure and need our help just as much as an innocent baby does. For evey one you may see on the street there are hundreds at home.
Peace and Blessings
Beautifully said Lisa! I've always believed that when you are beautiful inside it reflects on the outside regardless of appearance. I know many people who cannot see the beauty they hold within themselves but i am so grateful to be given an opportunity to create an awareness for them and in turn allow them to appreciate their own power and beauty. It is a gift that I am thankful for each day I go to work.
thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Hugs~
