Dear Friend,
How is your summer going (or winter if you live in New Zealand or
Australia)? I hope that you are enjoying whatever season you find
yourself in - I certainly am. Sun, warm weather, being outdoors - the
summer is one of my favorite seasons. It often seems so much easier to
enjoy the "summer" in our lives - those times when everything seems to
be in our favor, when our dreams and desires seem easily fulfilled.
However, the dark times of our lives are also beautiful, although they
can seem so painful and meaningless. The dark times often contain the
seeds for profound transformation. I will be writing more on this in the
coming months, but for now, please know that whether life is going
beautifully or horribly right now, all of it can be used to transform
yourself and your life into peace, bliss, and beauty.
I blog on a social networking site for conscious people -
Intent.com I highly recommend that
you check it out - there are some wonderfully loving and supportive
people there. They have weekly suggestions for content, and the one for
this week was asking bloggers for advice on how to feel sexy. This is
such an important topic, especially if you struggle with weight and/or
body image. But it is also an important topic as we grow older, when we
are in ill-health, all those times when we are not feeling so very sexy.
Ultimately, feeling sexy is about feeling loveable and
desirable, which most of us want to feel all of the time.
Here are some thoughts and suggestions on what you can do to feel
sexy, even when you least feel like it.
Peace, Love, and Beauty,
Sarah Maria

Sexiness is a State of Mind.
You might think feeling sexy has to do with your body, with looking
a certain way, wearing a certain thing, or doing a particular
something. When you base your sexiness and your desirability on some
external, however, you are only a stone's throw away from suffering.
If you accept what mainstream culture has to say about sexiness, you
are bound to hurt. If you are sexy when you are thin and svelte,
what happens as you age? If you are sexy because your body looks a
certain way, what happens when it changes? If you are sexy because
of the clothes you wear, or the make-up you apply, or the way you
style your hair, what happens when you take the clothes off, when
you wash your face clean, and you wake up in the morning with your
hair sticking out every which way?
When you base your sex-appeal on externals, it means that
sometimes you are sexy, and sometimes you are not. This isn't
necessarily a problem, accept for the fact that sexiness often
translates into desirability, lovability, and a feeling of being
worthwhile. In my experience, nothing is more painful than feeling
like sometimes you are just not quite good enough.
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you are just not
sexy enough? Or that you are only desirable if you look a certain
way? If you have ever felt like this, it means you are basing your
sex-appeal and your desirability on externals, which are always
bound to change.
There is a way to break free from this and discover the sexiness
that is always inside of you. You can discover the beauty,
the lovability, and the desirability that is always present, always
now, and always available.
This comes from discovering that you are that which makes
everything sexy and desirable. You are the very thing that you long
for - you are sexiness itself. You are inherently beautiful, you are
inherently loveable. No matter what the outside looks like,
whether you are dressed up for an evening event or wearing
your pajamas, you can feel sexy. You can feel sexy because you are
that which creates, expresses, and experiences sexiness, beauty, and
love.
Ultimately, the outside reflects the inside. The more immersed
you are in this unchangeable part of yourself, the more you will be
able to create a life that is a reflection of your inherent beauty.
So feeling sexy, feeling beautiful, feeling desirable is not so
much about doing anything. Rather, consider it a great undoing.
Discovering your sexiness is more a process of removing everything
that you are not, removing the beliefs, the thoughts, the
limitations. It is about seeing the thoughts that make you
believe you are not sexy and learning to ignore them.
Thoughts such as:
--I am too old to feel sexy
--I have too many wrinkles
--My butt is too big
--My skin is not clear enough
--If only I had, looked, or was anything other than what I am, then
I would be sexy
Discover that these thoughts are just thoughts.
You don't need to listen to them. Then turn your attention to the
thinker of the thoughts, that eternal part of yourself that is
beyond the thoughts you think. Learn to listen to this part of
yourself and you will discover that you are now, have always been,
and will always be the sexiness that you desire. You are the
infinite beauty of the cosmos, manifesting as a human being.
Always remember, you are inherently loveable and
desirable. As you discover this, the outside world will
shift to reflect this internal reality. And you will experience
yourself as the majestically beautiful, intrinsically sexy person
that you are and always will be.
