Slow beauty is 'beauty reimagined'! It is a deep inward approach to cultivating & preserving beauty. Slow beauty is based on the idea of living beauty as a lifestyle, making mindful food choices, detoxifying with movement, practicing rituals & living with awareness. The 7th limb of Ashtanga Yoga emphasis the importance of the quality of 'Dhyan' or mindful focus to redirect the energy towards a specific goal. Imagine cultivating beauty as a daily goal built with focus & awareness. Slow beauty transcends beyond skincare, into the vast dimensions of selfcare & wellness to cultivate beauty from within. Slow beauty ideology is slowly redefining beauty & challenging the modern beauty standards stuck at the layer of epidermis! Slow beauty cultivates below the layers of epidermis. It begins at the layer of muscles, body tissues, organs, body systems, connective tissue, fascia, bones, cells & energetic channels called 'nadis' in yoga & 'meridians' in Eastern wellness philosophy.
Let's reimagine beauty!
Just imagine 20 sets of Sun salutations imparting you an instant golden glow by awakening the agni, flushing the lymph and oxygenating the skin, 5 minutes of pranayama immediately softening and soothing facial tension by calming the vagus nerve, reducing cortisol and lowering inflammation, 10 minutes of Yin Yoga practice reducing belly bloat and enhancing skin clarity and 8 minutes of legs-up-the-wall reducing puffiness and dullness by supporting lymphatic cleanse.
Imagine daily self-massage (abhyanga) practice naturally imparting you a soft smooth skin and a calm mind by nourishing the tissues and enhancing ojas (the youth factor), one soaked date & ghee in the morning imparting you plump, hydrated skin and morning aloe vera shot calming, hydrating and lowering skin breakouts.
Imagine 15 minutes of face & scalp massage ritual brightening your face & strengthening your hair by improving circulation to face & scalp via marma pathways.
That's beauty reimagined beyond skincare, delving deeper into the dimensions of selfcare & wellness!
Svarasya is on the path of redefining beauty. While the modern beauty world focuses on the external element of beauty, Svarasya intends to raise beauty consciousness around internal elements of beauty, that are so large, so deep, these elements transcend till each cell & beyond to the energy channels of the body & mind. The modern beauty standards are still away from beauty beyond skincare, while the practices from Yoga, Ayurveda & Eastern philosophy tap-in into this unspoken territory of beauty & include practices that cultivate beauty below the layer of epidermis to nourish the youth factor, raise consciousness, enhance longevity, & make you vibrate at a higher frequency to experience a state of bliss.
Yoga nurtures beauty with movement by enhancing circulation, detoxifying the body by flushing the lymphatic system, building muscular strength, supporting collagen production with deep connective tissue & fascia stretches. Pranayama improves the flow of prana energy in the body that imparts glow on the skin. Meditation practices harmonize the nervous system creating long-lasting beauty from deep within.
Ayurveda's approach to slow beauty is rooted in the idea of living by the cycles of nature. These cycles exist in the day, month & seasons. Dinacharya is the art & science of cultivating slow beauty living by the rhythms of the day according to Ayurveda principles. Similarly, the lunar cycle, & ritucharya, the seasonal cycle has its own set of principles as defined in Ayurveda and is the route to maintaining a state of deep inner balance & harmony with the nature. This way of living naturally supports an inner environment of beauty from within. Ayurveda teaches that beauty begins with balance & has given us rituals to align the body, mind, and skin. By honoring natural cycles and choosing ingredients tailored to individual constitution, slow beauty in Ayurveda transforms everyday selfcare into a beauty cultivating practice.
Slow beauty cultivating practices from the East deeply focus on regulating the flow of 'Qi', the energy in the body. Eastern beauty standards are much deeper and run through the subtle layers of your being to create an environment of beauty within. Eastern Wellness practices support movement of energy in body meridians. Practices such as Acupressure, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Facial Reflexology, Gua sha are all emerging from the East, that strengthen organ systems, improve lymphatic flow, and enhance complexion by improving the energy flow in the body.
