I Am Beautiful: A Healing Mantra for an Open Heart
I am beautiful.
I am beautiful because of the way I carry myself. My presence. My energy is beautiful. And my eyes and my lips. I am beautiful because of my compassion for everyone and everything.
I am resilient.
I am resilient because I have to be. I demonstrate undying resolve and perseverance. I show up each and every day. Even on the bad days, the tough days. The crying and wailing out loud days.
I am brilliant.
I am a brilliant shining star set high up in the sky for all to see. I will shine my light on the darkest nights and guide the traveler’s way. I am combustible, burning for eons from my own inner fuel.
I am amazing.
I am an amazing woman. An amazing mother, sister, daughter. An amazing lover. I amaze myself with my own magic and use of power for good and right.
I am lovely.
I am reflective of love. I show it, give it, grow it. And love never dies. Despite death. Despite loss. Despite misguided efforts and misunderstandings.
Love never dies.
I am beautiful because I know this.
“The more you have loved and have allowed yourself to suffer because of your love, the more you will be able to let your heart grow wider and deeper. When your love is truly giving and receiving, those whom you love will not leave your heart even when they depart from you. The pain of rejection, absence, and death can become fruitful. Yes, as you love deeply the ground of your heart will be broken more and more, but you will rejoice in the abundance of the fruit it will bear.” ~ Henri Nouwen
