And so day 2 wraps up with Shakaya Leone who insists that “Beauty is your essence embodied”. I wasn’t so sure that I understood what that meant when she first said it. But then she continued to state that beauty is not skin deep and it started to make more sense. Beauty isn’t only about your physical looks. Beauty is your essence (soul) radiating (or not) depending on how well you take care of yourself. True beauty can be masked without the proper mental and physical health that we all need to thrive.
Building on what Dr. Lissa spoke about in the previous call, Shakay agrees that it is critical that we listen to our bodies. A zit that pops up on your big day is not random. It’s your body trying to tell you something. Maybe you are too stressed or are eating too many processed foods. LISTEN!
Here is Shakaya’s breakdown of the face (which is actually a map of your internal organs)
A long face = longevity
Nose = your heart. A red or swollen nose may correlate directly to your heart muscles.
Eyes = your true health
Eyebrows = adrenal glands (your immune system and nervous system). Thinning eyebrows may indicate a weaker immune system.
Eyebags (bags under your eyes): kidneys (may indicate you are eating too much sugar or salt)
Frownlines: the left side is associated with your spleen (not standing your ground or being overly emotional) and the right with your liver (think overeating, being angry, or not getting enough sleep)
Hair: overall vitality (your diet)
Cheeks: lungs (note how smokers have sunken cheeks)
Tongue: nervous system
So for me, all of this was a bit over the top. Sure I can see why a zit would mean you are stressed or eating too much fried foods, but the other stuff may be a reach. I would love to think that you really can tell from your face what your organs are feeling, but I need more proof. This is definitely something I will need to do extra research on.
All in all, you can’t take care of others if you do not take care of yourself. Exquisite self care, is what Shakaya calls it. Eating raw for instance is so good for your body that it connects directly to abundance, as she says. You can take good care of yourself through: joy, food, water, work (having meaning), relationships, exercise, and rest. This along with the following are a recipe for a wonderful, healthy life: Reflect (connect to your true self), release (declutter, detox, simplify), receive (love and abundance), relaxation, renewal, and revel (celebrate).
Take what you will from all of this. But know that you can’t possibly have a healthy mind without a healthy body. Your body is what holds your spirit and your love. You would not be without your temple (body). I am a strong believer in eating a plant-based diet. I am vegetarian and am working hard to try to keep a vegan lifestyle as well. If you treat your body well it will be good to you in return. Sugar, caffeine, processed foods, meat, and dairy are all things that hurt your body and work against you. Many of them have been directly linked to diseases that kill millions. Listen, I could go on forever about this but we will save it for another post. In the meantime, look into ‘Crazy, Sexy, Diet’ by Kris Carr. And ask for a miracle. Ask the universe to help you shift your thinking to better focus on a healthy body.
Can’t wait for day 3: Marci Shimoff and Michelle Villalobos speak about success!
<3Live, love, and expect miracles!
