What is Beauty Way? My first introduction, outside of my own inner perception, to the concept of Beauty Way came in reading the intro to Susun Weed's book Healing Wise. I vividly remember reading her words and lightly touching the page feeling another spoke the same language as I.
More recently I discovered Colette Baron-Reid's deck the Mystical Shaman Oracle. In this deck exists a Beauty Way card which reads:
THE ESSENCE:
The Beauty Way is both a path that you travel on and a daily practice. The path is where you choose to perceive only beauty before you, behind you, and all around you as you journey through life. The practice is where you take action to bring beauty to every situation you are in. When things get ugly, you act to bring integrity and peace to the difficult encounter. When everyone else perceives only darkness, you point out the light and help uncover the hidden treasures.
THE INVITATION:
The Beauty Way invites you to create beauty in your life and to recognize the beauty inside yourself and in others. Stop to smell the roses, take a deep breath, look up at the stars, and recognize the splendor that surrounds you. See the beauty in whatever situation you find yourself in, and you will receive the lesson that life is teaching you in a kind and gentle way.
THE MEDICINE:
Stop trying to fix relationships that you believe are broken. Recognize that things are exactly as they need to be in this moment, and acknowledge the inherent beauty in that. When you understand this, you will be able to bring about the change you want. Do not engage in gossip about the darkness and flaws of others. Be careful not to be seduced by the superficial beauty of a project or relationship you are toying with, unless you are willing to pay a price for it later.
I hope this helps bring light to the curiosity of "What is Beauty Way?" May this appreciation of the beauty of life as your birthrite live in your heart today and always, 💛 Victoria Williams Steen
