This simple, yet effective formula is excellent at transforming the old and worn out aspects of your life into a brand new and beautiful life. Are you tired of going in circles and failing to meet your goals one foot before the finish live? You are not alone. It has been my experience that many of my clients quit only a few minutes before the miracle occurs and when you can bring awareness to this aspect of yourself and in following this simple three step process, your dreams really can come true.

Step One: Develop a beautiful mind.

A beautiful mind is your key to a beautiful soul and your soul is strong enough, bold enough and wise enough to always guide you to the finish line. In developing a beautiful mind you can do several things:

- Meditate – any form will do!

- Heal past traumas with theta healing techniques and /or EMDR (Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing).

- Study and follow the Law of Attraction.

- Reprogram your thoughts with positive affirmations.

- Become your ego’s best friend – love him/her unconditionally.

- Set clear intentions.

- Look for the beauty in your life and be grateful for all that is you and your mind.

Embrace the power of your mind. As you replace outmoded thoughts with new, empowering ones you will be able to tap into the genius in you. Healing your emotions will serve to keep your thoughts and emotions balanced and they will work together, for you rather than against you.

Step Two: Honour Your Beautiful Body

Having a beautiful body does not mean that you have to be a size 4, 6 or even an 8 or 10, beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Along with a healthy love and respect for the body you do have, you can also do the following to honour it:

- Continue to heal negative and gear based emotions through theta healing techniques and EMDR. When our emotions intertwine with our thoughts we create disease in the body.

- Choose one or two physical activities and do them 3 to 4 times per week.

- Strengthen your core body – you will be amazed at how good this feels.

- Eat healthy, according to your blood type.

- Take anti=oxidants.

- Dance like no on is watching.

- Dress in fashions that accentuate the beauty of your particular body type.

- Take care of your skin with good skin care products.

- Protect yourself from sun damage with sun block.

All these combined will strengthen and revitalize your physical being. Your body is the house to your spirit – maintain it as you would your home. Love it as the ideal sanctuary for your spirit that it was intended to be.

Step Three: Our spirits are simply awaiting our permission to express themselves.

You will know what form of expression that is meant to be for you by the passion and commitment that you feel when you do it. To help you further clarify your spirit’s expression you can do the following:

- Pay attention to what ‘moves’ you – what brings joy and fulfillment that you can do for hours on end without realizing the time has passed.

- Think back to all the things that your friends and family have noticed about you and compliment you on frequently. Sometimes we don’t give ourselves credit for our unique gifts and talents. They are often reflected in others as a way for the universe to bring our attention to them.

- Give yourself permission to express your talents passionately, regardless of any objections or obstacles that appear to test you. They are only tests as to your real commitment for manifesting your heart’s desires and honouring your spirit in the process.

- Let go of the need of having to know how to do it; when you are clear on the ‘what’ of your spirit, the how will reveal itself , one step at a time.

- Let go of the need to do it perfectly. There is no room for perfection on the road to excellence!

- Develop an expansive mind-set. Make room for miracles and step into your light and shine, without apology.

All three steps in this formula, when done with an open mind and a loving heart can be the catalyst for you transforming your life, however good, or unsatisfactory, as the case may be – into an exciting, rewarding and holy adventure.

Virtual hair styling is an extremely useful online program which allows you to upload a photo of your face and view yourself with endless different hairstyles, hair colors, lengths and textures.

This is a wonderful tool to use if you are thinking about a change of hair color or style, as you can see exactly how it will look on you before you go through with the change.

It’s ok to see a lovely hairstyle or hair color on a model in a magazine and think ‘ That’s lovely, I want to look like that ! ‘

Then you take the magazine to your hair stylist and they snip away ( or color away ) until you have the look you wanted.

However, what looks good on a model in a magazine will look completely different on you, and you may find that the hairstyle or color you wanted does not look quite how you hoped it would on you.

Remember that everyone is unique. Our complexions and features vary greatly, and this determines which hairstyles and hair colors suit us.

If you see a hair style or color that you like, the best way to know for sure whether or not it will suit you is to use virtual hair styling.

This way, your photo is uploaded and images of virtual hairstyles and colors are loaded around your face. It’s the next best thing to having it done for real, but this way, there is no risk of disappointment if it looks different to what you were expecting.

You wear your hair every day of your life. It’s not the same as an outfit that you can choose not to wear if it doesn’t look good.

Therefore, virtual hair styling allows you to see in advance the best hairstyles and hair colors for you, with no commitment. There’s no risk this way, and you may find that you become a little more adventurous with styles and colors if you can try things out first.

Maybe you are brunette and have always fancied yourself as a blonde, but have never wanted to risk it in case it doesn’t suit you. Or maybe you have always worn your hair in a certain style because you don’t know if anything else will look good on you.

If you have short hair, and wonder how it would look if it were longer, virtual hair styling shows you instantly.

No need to wait. No need to worry. The options are endless.

Virtual hair styling gives you the freedom to try all the options you desire. You may even find that after trying a few styles and colors, you get more adventurous and try out others that you would never dare try out in reality. But hey, this is virtual hair styling and it can all be undone with a simple click !

The best virtual hair styling programs will let you try thousands of hairstyles and hair colors, along with different textures, thicknesses and lengths. This way, you have every option available that you can possibly think of.

I know of one program which shows your image in 3D. This makes it possible to see how your new hairstyle will look from the front, side and back – just as other people see us, in fact. You can’t really get much more realistic!

Some virtual hair styling programs have a range of hairstyles for special occasions like weddings or the prom. This is especially useful for times such as these, as it‘s vital that you look perfect. Virtual hair styling assists you in finding your perfect style. You’ll know in advance how wonderful your hair is going to look – because you’ve already tried it online!

Apart from bridal hairstyles, and prom hairstyles, some programs even have emo hair cuts, braided hairstyles, dreadlock hairstyles, punk and extreme hairstyles and more.

The celebrity hairstyles feature on some virtual hair styling programs enables you to see yourself with the same hairstyle and color as your favourite celebrity – see how glamorous you look !

Virtual hair styling is a fantastic way to try new hairstyles, new hair colors and see a new you without the commitment.

It’s fun – try it today !

No matter what age or size we are, most girls and women continually ask themselves, “What can I do to feel more beautiful?” I have found that all women, even the ones that are outwardly attractive, fail to see and feel the real beauty that exists within us all. The key to seeing and feeling this inner beauty is to develop a bond with our soul.

My journey to feeling beautiful was painful at best and sabotaged by my upbringings at worst. I experienced many physical beatings as a child that included the rantings and ravings of how fat and ugly I was. As impressionable as I was as a child, as we all are, I believed it wholeheartedly. To make matters more difficult, I grew to 5′7″ before I was twelve years old, and with my brown hair and eyes, I felt like a giant ugly duckling.

As a young woman I was offered many opportunities to model but I totally lacked the self-image and self-confidence to pursue these offers and chose to specialize in helping other women look beautiful through the beauty and fashion industries.

As I embarked on my healing and spiritual journey, I learned to connect with my soul and to being committed to living as my soul as often as I could. Over time, it became very natural for me to identify with my soul and feel its beauty growing inside of me. It was at this time that I could actually look at myself in the mirror, and rather than cringe at what I saw, I smiled and felt grateful for the vessel that my body was, a vessel to house my soul and spirit, that I my live more fully and full of joy.

There are many things we can do to develop this kind of relationship with our soul but before I share them with you I feel it is imperative for you to understand some key components to feeling beautiful now.

The three components we need to work on and develop are:

1. Self-image- Seeing ourselves as beautiful in the present moment at all times.

2. Self-esteem- Thinking and feeling all that is beautiful about ourselves and others first and foremost.

3. Self-confidence- Expressing our beautiful selves boldly in areas that speak to our hearts, without any concern for the approval or validation of others.

At any point in time, when you are lacking in these areas, it is helpful to relax any judgments or attachments to what is being felt, thought or seen and instead simply witness what is going on for you, as you would witness the same in a complete stranger. This will serve to release the hold that any negativity would have on you re-claiming the beautiful you that is real, authentic there only hidden by your current perceptions.

To intensify and solidify this real beauty within, look to your soul to guide you and help you reveal the hidden treasure of you. Your soul is by her very nature based on beauty, joy, and a perfection of being that is unshakeable once it is revealed, from the inside and out.

To develop this connection and bond with your soul here are some strategies and tips to help you:

1. Before you go to sleep, ask your soul to guide you, through your dreams, to ways that you can easily connect with and get to know yourself at the soul level.

2. When you awake, call your soul to you. Sense your soul all around your physical being as a brilliant white light and then a feel a connection between the heart of your soul and your own heart chakra. A visual that works for this is to see your soul’s heart as a diamond that fits into the center of your heart chakra that is a jewel of thousands of petals opening up more and more as you make this connection. Now ask your soul to sound its note of joy, love and beauty for the remainder of the day. You will become transformed by this connection and your outer world will reflect the inner beauty that is you.

3. Commit to living as your soul. As you resonate with the vibrations of your soul this will be easier to do and making choices and decisions, moment to moment, will reflect the wisdom, beauty and love of your soul more often than not.

4. Seek to integrate your soul with your personality. Visualize a white light coming from your soul’s heart pouring into your heart center. Draw this light up to your head center and back down again to your heart; creating a continual motion of light between the two centers – you may feel a slight hum and this is very normal. Sit with this sensation for a few minutes and repeat silently to yourself “with this light and the guidance of my soul I choose to live by the guidance of a wise heart and a loving mind at all times”.

You will be guided by your soul to new experiences, places and people that are more in alignment with the beauty of your soul and that will reflect the real beauty of you. It will become easier for you to feel and identify with your inherent beauty and any outer beauty concerns are transformed in the process, be it physically, mentally, and emotionally or all three.
