The Beauty Journal
Soul-Centered Skincare
Today’s Reflection
My first beauty journal entry – a dream come true to put pen to paper and pour out my holistic esthetician heart to offer a little glimpse into the inner workings and wonderings of my world.
I love finding meaning and symbolism in the details, I love discovering deeper understanding in the big picture and I have a strong desire to point people back to the divine connection between skin, soul and spirit so we can lead the abundant life we were created for.
Being an esthetician is so much more than simply applying products to a person’s skin. And this beauty journal is a place to process and express the deeper work being done as we care for our skin and ourselves, holistically.
I didn’t become an esthetician just because I wanted a backstage pass to all of the beauty products and treatments I could possibly get my hands on or because I couldn’t stand my honors accounting class and dropped out of college (although that’s all partly true). I became an esthetician because I felt drawn to the power this profession holds – the power to restore beauty and help heal the brokenhearted through intentional touch and holistic practices.
My heart in baring all in this beauty journal is to encourage genuine human connection and cultivate the holistic connection between our inner well-being and outer beauty. May my reflections help restore and realign this soul-centered connection for you in profound ways.
Today’s Ritual
Breath prayers are an ancient holistic practice that offer powerful benefits for your skin, soul and spirit. By grounding you in the present moment, they can help regulate your nervous system and realign your mind with truth. Take time today to intentionally inhale and exhale while meditating on the prompts below with each breath in, and each breath out.
Inhale: I am more than my skin.
Exhale: I am skin, soul and spirit.
Inhale: I am intricately connected.
Exhale: I am intentionally created.
May this journal be an invitation to embrace the sacred balance between skin, soul and spirit and guide you in engaging the transformative process that honors both inner and outer beauty.
