Inner Beauty
Look into the flame of a pink candle and say 3 times:
" Earth air fire sea
let the goddesses beauty
shine though me "
Repeat as often as needed.
Goddess Woman - A Ritual of Inner Beauty (By Spirit Journey)
Needed:
1 white candle
1 pink candle (the pink candle must be of the same size and shape as
the white candle)
Mirror (preferably full-length)
Bunch of your favorite flowers
Favorite perfume or essential oil/s
The Ritual: You may cast a circle if you wish, but it is not necessary in this ritual. Light the white candle, saying:
"Oh wonderous Goddess, She of many names, many faces and many forms, I call upon you now. Be present with me on this eve/morn"
Carve your name into the pink candle, and, if you can, carve a little love heart into it also. Say the following:
"This candle represents myself; my body, my mind, my soul, my heart"
Light the pink candle:
"May I be filled with love and caring for myself as well as others. Allow all hate or disappointment that I feel towards myself disappear"
Take the mirror and gaze deeply into it. Look at every part of your body. If negative thoughts towards your body come into your mind, listen to them, then quietly tell yourself that they are not true.
"The Goddess comes in many shapes and sizes. All are sacred, all are woman. The Goddess is the very essence of woman, and we are all created in her image. In me resides a part of the Goddess. In me resides some of her beauty, some of her woman-ness. I am beautiful. Every part of my body is perfect. Every part of my body is of the Goddess. I have been formed in the image of the Goddess, no matter what I look like. The Goddess comes in many shapes and sizes, and one of those shapes is me. I am beautiful, just like the Goddess"
Now look at each part of your body, and think about what you like about them. Concentrate on all the things you like about your body, and forget all the things you hate.
If nothing but hate or disgust for your body comes to mind, keep on telling yourself that you are formed as the Goddess. Tell yourself over and over. Look deeply into the reflection of your eyes in the mirror, and tell yourself you are perfect, your body is perfect, you are formed as the Goddess.
Once you have convinced yourself that you are beautiful like the Goddess, look into your eyes and repeat to yourself:
"(Name) I love you. I love you. I love you, (name)"
You may feel uncomfortable looking into your own eyes and saying this, but keep on doing it until you keep happy, and you know you really do love yourself. It's easier to love others once you love yourself.
Now dab on your favorite perfume or oil/s, and hold the bunch of flowers. Tell yourself once more that you are formed in the image of the Goddess, that you are beautiful, and that you love yourself.
Leave the candles burning until they are finished.
Go out and treat yourself to something special, either a night in, relaxing in a warm bath, or go out to the movies with your galpals, or even a resturant with your best friend.
