Mirror Meditation

Appreciating your beauty, accepting yourself, and knowing that you are attractive are the gateways to a vibrant life. Here is a simple meditation that will get you pulsating with self-acceptance. Practice it daily, and in a month you may find that you are less self-conscious about your face and other body parts. You might even notice a fresh glow and sparkle in your eye, because when you gently look at yourself without judgmental comparisons, you uncover the secret about how lovely and vital you really are.

Schedule five to ten minutes of uninterrupted time for this meditation. Try to do it at the same time each day so that it becomes part of your beauty routine. Consider fitting the meditation in before or after a shower.

Dim the lights, light a few candles, and play soft, relaxing instrumental music—whatever works to set the tone for you to focus on you. Sit in front of a full-length mirror. Begin the meditation draped in a soft blanket, a towel, or robe. Gaze into your eyes and notice their shape and color. Some people say that the eyes are the window of the soul, so take as much time as you like and look deeply. Relax your shoulders and allow tensions to melt away. Relax your mouth.

Notice your facial features, your hair, the shape of your nose, your lips, and ears. Soften your eyes and smile kindly at the image in the mirror. When you are ready, drop your robe and look with ease at your entire body. Slowly gaze at all your body parts from your neck to your breasts, to your waist and abdomen, to your pelvis, hips and thighs, to your knees, ankles, and feet. When you have looked at every little part, bring your gaze back to your eyes. Smile at the image in the mirror and give her two thumbs up, or make up your own signal of love and acceptance of what you see.

Many women report that when they look at themselves tenderly they discover a full range of characteristics that they hadn’t acknowledged before. Oh sure, you may see blemishes here and there, but those blemishes fade in the background when you become familiar with how lovely a womanly body can be. Some women report that after a week of practicing this mediation they just naturally shed a few tears over the cruel things they have thought about their lovely bodies. Others report that sweet laughter bubbles up from their bellies as they experience the joy of self-acceptance for perhaps the first time. These are positive voices of your sexual desire.

Remember, smiling at yourself is the joyous expression of being alive. We suggest that every time you pass a mirror or see your reflection in a window that you give yourself a knowing glance and smile.

By the way, when you have mastered this meditation, you might consider introducing it to your partner. However, in place of the mirror, the two of you will gaze at each other.
