Hathor celebrated the beauty in every woman. The ancient Egyptian goddess, Hathor, embodied many qualities including, and especially, beauty. Hathor ruled anything having to do with women, and she nurtured, loved and saw the radiant beauty in all women. She had great influence in the Egyptian concept of beauty. You will often find Hathor depicted with a cow ears or head, as an indication that she embodied the cow’s nourishing, generous nature.

Action: 1) During this period, begin to define beauty by your own standards. What are they? Do you see beauty in health, wisdom or confidence? Is beauty found in a warm smile, a sparkling pair of eyes, or a loving heart? Is it in a pregnant belly, smile lines or a familiar friendly voice? See beyond the cultural ideal of beauty and see what it is within yourself and others that is truly beautiful.
2) We must validate our own beauty first before we are able to accept validation from others. Think about that; notice when others compliment you. People tend to comment on how good we’re looking during times when we are feeling good about who we are, when we’re living in passion, when we’re confident and happy. Have you noticed that it happens a lot when people are falling in love? They glow! The light that shines from within us when we are appreciating life, others and ourselves cannot help but be seen and appreciated. Beauty begins within us.
3) Befriend yourself. Why is it that women so easily recognize inner and out beauty in others, but are oblivious or reluctant to see their own? Treat yourself like a good friend; compliment yourself (and accept it!), look for the wonderful qualities that you embody and focus only on them, and forgive yourself for whatever inadequacies you believe you possess.
4) Take care of yourself on the outside and you will feel better about yourself on the inside, too. Massages and facials feel wonderful, and cosmetics can help enhance a favorite feature or express personal style. Your inner beauty absolutely increases your outer beauty, but have you noticed that when you feel pretty, you also feel good on the inside? There are many ways to enhance outer beauty, and all are perfect for you if they sincerely help you feel wonderful, inside and out. Whatever you do to enhance your beauty, however, must be done not to conform to external ideals, but for your personal pleasure and expression, or you may find that you have compromised your authenticity…and that doesn’t feel good on the inside.
Affirmation: (Audio above) I am a unique, radiant beauty, inside and out, and I see Divine beauty in others.
Meditation: (Audio above) Self Acceptance meditation, Befriend Your Beautiful Self
Relax in your most luxurious chair. Breathe deeply and slowly, several times, feeling grateful for your lungs and diaphragm. They work perfectly to assist you in breathing in life. As you breath in, feel the breath travel and tingle through your entire body. As you breathe out, expel any fear, sadness, anxiety, disease or discomfort. Those things don’t belong in your beautiful, healthy body. Breath in the tingling radiant energy again; Expel what doesn’t serve your highest physical or spiritual good.
Now, imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror. Who is this woman you are seeing? Without judgment, take note of what she is wearing, her hair, face, eyes. Smile at her, looking deeply into her eyes. Do you recognize her…your old friend? Think back to when you were little girls, sharing your hopes and dreams; sharing your sadness, too. She was there for you, and you for her, even when it wasn’t always easy to be. Look at how she has grown. What has she done that has impressed you over the years? Has she worked, studied, traveled, created life or influenced lives? Has she been kind to others? Congratulate her on the things she has done so well. Forgive her for the things she maybe hasn’t accomplished or done so well, for the lies she has told you and the mistakes she’s made. They don’t matter anymore…tell her she can let them go, release any guilt or feelings of failure and simply carry their lessons. Those lessons have helped her become who she is; they are gifts.
Smile with her again. She is lovely, isn’t she? Acknowledge her beauty, inside and out. Let her know you are grateful for her. Focus on her beautiful heart, her warmth, her love. She is your best friend and she is lovely. She will be by your side as you walk through life! She is amazing. What would you like to say to your friend? Would you like to invite her to join you on an adventure? Would you like to ask her to take good care of herself because she deserves to feel wonderful, and you and the world needs her? Would you like to remind her of all of her uniquely beautiful qualities that she has forgotten about? Compliment her and smile as she gracefully accepts your love and recognition. Reach out to her, and wrap your arms around this beautiful, loving, loyal friend. Hold her tightly, feel her heart beat, feel it merge with yours until you become one. Eyes still shut, look at your hands, look at your body, look at your face and into your eyes. This beautiful friend, this gift to you and the world is you. Love her. Love yourself. See that you are absolutely lovely.
