Beauty is a sense of self and it reflects in your eyes. Sophia Loren
What is the beauty of the soul, and what connects it with the beauty of the body?
Ironically, people think that they will be happy if they get. However, without harmony in the soul, it is impossible to achieve real beauty and keep it.
Even the most regular facial features lose their appeal when a person is angry, upset or dissatisfied. On the face, as if in a mirror, those that we cherish in ourselves are reflected - our thoughts and actions.
Wise people say that every person is beautiful. But, not everyone is able to see the beauty of another.
And this is such a magical quality, the possession of which makes us ourselves beautiful in the eyes of others. Let's train him! Because we mean so much to each other...
The beauty of the soul: tiny stories about us
I came up with the idea of creating video sketches about our lives that illustrate the most subtle, sensitive strings of the human soul.
Those that we most often hide from others, and even from ourselves. For fear of being misunderstood, vulnerable, offended.

Peace of mind is the basis of the beauty of the soul
How to maintain mental balance?
The principle is surprisingly simple: in all areas of life, qualities that the mind and body lack should be developed. And, on the contrary, restrict access to those that are naturally abundant.
"Undigested" emotions upset the balance, poison the body. From this "root" health problems grow. Emotions are generated by attitude. Therefore, you should change your attitude to events that caused negative feelings, and not drive emotions inside.
Balance - when the body and mind are healthy, and the soul is calm. Peace comes when you stop explaining everything that happens to you, and instead accept it with gratitude. What is immediately reflected - the largest external organ of man. Then it seems to radiate a natural glow.
One follows from the other: the beauty of the external appearance from the beauty of the soul. Anyway.
In conclusion, I will quote a phrase I read somewhere, which I perceive as parting words. Maybe it will be useful for you too.
Work like you don't need money. Love like no one has ever hurt you. Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Live like heaven on earth!
Erase random features - And you will see: the world is beautiful.
Alexander Alexandrovich Blok
What is a poet? A person who writes poetry? Of course not. He is called a poet not because he writes in verse; but he writes in verse, that is, he brings words and sounds into harmony, because he is the son of harmony, a poet.
Alexander Alexandrovich Blok
Beauty is eternity lasting a moment.
Anatole France
Only a bee recognizes hidden sweetness in a flower,
Only an artist senses a beautiful mark on everything.

When humanity is destroyed, there is no more art. Putting beautiful words together is not an art.
Bertolt Brecht
Children should live in a world of beauty, games, fairy tales, music, drawing, fantasy, creativity.
Vasily Aleksandrovich Sukhomlinsky
No outer beauty can be complete unless it is enlivened by inner beauty. The beauty of the soul spreads like a mysterious light over the beauty of the body.
Beauty, true happiness and true heroism do not need big words.
Wilhelm Raabe
In character, in manner, in style, in everything, the most beautiful thing is simplicity.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is amazing how beauty and death, joy and decay are necessary for each other and condition each other.
Hermann Hesse
The beauty we see has a deep source, which we, following Plato, can define as beautiful. This essence finds its greater or lesser incarnation in matter, transforming it and creating more or less harmonious forms. In some cases we call things beautiful, and in others ugly and unattractive.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Every movement is a striving for the missing balance that we see. All living things move in search of it, in search of the lost harmony, in the pursuit of perfection, when peace is not the absence of movement, but the resultant of all movements.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Day and sun - all this together is an enthusiastic hymn to the manifestations of life. This is the most beautiful expression of how Nature bows before the mystery of creation. Night and stars are the image of another mystery, the mystery of the infinite cosmos, reflected in the sky, replete with distant worlds that make us feel insignificant in front of their immensity. During the day, we see the earth and ourselves better, and this is necessary for us. At night, twilight prevents us from examining close objects, and we rather direct our gaze into the starry sky, and we cannot do without it either.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
The laws of Art originate not in the material, but in the ideal world where Beauty lives, matter can only indicate the boundaries within which artistic inspiration spreads.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Beauty is born from the contact of beauty with matter. In the event that matter passes through itself this highest, subtlest essence, it is born harmoniously modeled, and the charm that it radiates, although being matter, is beauty. Delia Steinberg Guzman The world of beauty and the revelation of its inner harmony is one of the magical keys that allows you to penetrate into the illusory secret of Mai.

Inequality is not evil, but the basis for good, if you can harmoniously combine all the various elements of the game, forming a meaningful unity.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Almost always living in a dream and wandering with our eyes closed, we suspect, however, that it is not enough for us to observe and maintain external proportions, but we feel a need for a deeper beauty that adds charm to every gesture and deed, every word, feeling, every thought.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
To meet Maya and her Beauty, one must rise from the roadside mud and learn to fly on the wings of her illusions. Whatever is burdensome and ugly in us - everything will fall down and break on the ground. The beautiful reaches the heights of eternity.

Fit for purpose is the essence of all beauty.
Giacomo Leopardi
In the heart of one who passionately strives for beauty, it shines brighter than in the eyes of the contemplative of it.
The appearance of things changes according to moods, and therefore we see magic and beauty in them, while magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
Everything beautiful and great in this world is created by a single thought or feeling of a person.
True beauty is the meadow that comes from the holy of holies of the spirit and endows the body, just as life springs from the depths of the earth and gives color and fragrance to a flower.
Beauty is not in the face, beauty is the light in the heart.
A ray of beauty in the blink of an eye
Drives clouds from the heart.
John Keats
Beauty captivates forever.
You don't get cold to him.
John Keats
Enthusiasm is love and dreams of the beautiful and good, with the help of which we transform ourselves and get the opportunity to become more perfect and become like them.
Giordano Bruno
In the variety of changes, beauty remains eternally new.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus
Everyone has their own concept of female attractiveness; beauty is something more immutable and independent of tastes and judgments.
Jean de La Bruyère
Good is beauty in action.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
Beauty affects even those who do not notice it.

The cup of life is beautiful! How stupid to resent it just because you see its bottom.
Jules Renan
The beauty of an act lies primarily in the fact that it is performed easily and, as it were, without any tension.
Immanuel Kant
The beautiful cannot be known, it must be felt or created.
The beautiful does not need additional embellishments - what makes it beautiful is the absence of embellishments.

Every sincere enjoyment of beauty is in itself a source of moral beauty.

Everything that you look at with love seems beautiful.
Christian Morgenstern
The one who sees the beautiful is an accomplice in its creation.

Simplicity, truth and naturalness are the three great principles of beauty in all works of art.
Christoph Willibald Gluck
There is so much inherent in beauty that even for those who come to replace us, there will always be something to say in the glory of beauty.
Lucian
The beauty of every woman is marked by the traits of her character, and we prefer the one whose character awakens the most vivid response in us.
Luc de Clapier de Vauvenargues
The meaning of life is in the beauty and strength of striving for goals, and it is necessary that every moment of being has its own lofty goal.
Maksim Gorky
What delights us in visible beauty is always only the invisible.
Maria von Ebner-Eschenbach
Everything beautiful, whatever it may be, is beautiful in itself: praise is not an integral part of it. Therefore, from praise it does not become worse or better. I also mean here what is called beautiful from the ordinary point of view, such as material things and works of art. And what praise could the truly beautiful need? Nothing more than law, nothing more than truth, nothing more than benevolence, than decency. Which of these things is beautiful through praise, or perverted through censure? Does the emerald get worse from the lack of praise? And gold, ivory, purple, marble, flower, plant?
Marcus Aurelius
Beauty has the power and gift to bring peace to hearts.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
To create beauty, one must be pure in soul.
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka
Nothing beautiful is lost without a trace. Do not be afraid to throw seeds of beauty along the roads. They will lie there for weeks, maybe years, but they will not decay like diamonds, and eventually someone will notice their brilliance, pick them up and leave happy.
Maurice Maeterlinck
Try to surpass the beauty of yourself, you will not surpass your soul.
Maurice Maeterlinck
It takes very little to encourage the beauty in someone's soul. Sleeping angels are easy to wake up.
Maurice Maeterlinck
The sun is red at sunrise, and it is red at sunset. Both in happiness and in misfortune, the great ones are unchanged.
Wisdom of Ancient India
Beauty lies not in individual features and lines, but in the general expression of the face, in the vital sense that lies in it.

A beautiful woman is a woman who has a beautiful soul, and not only a fashionable elegant dress she is wearing. Whatever the best evening dress she is in, if she has an evil face, this overshadows the whole effect of efforts to restore a beautiful appearance.

Female beauty was sung by singers, poets dedicated poems, artists painted pictures. How many magazines, books, time is devoted to the outer side of the matter, female beauty, the beauty of the body, and about the beauty of the female soul, how little they think about it.
By the way, read:
Is your soul beautiful?
The beauty of the female soul is a concept. about which, alas, little is said and remembered, just the same. like the beauty of the male soul. After all, a handsome man is not only the one who has perfectly pumped up muscles and has a jeep in the garage, he is a person for whom such concepts are important. as conscience and honor, decency and responsibility. The beauty of the male soul, is this concept often remembered? It seems that even less often than about women. But, it's so important! The external attractiveness of a vzhan at the first moment of acquaintance, of course, plays a decisive role, and then such qualities as the beauty of the soul or its absence come to the fore.
It happens that you look at a person’s face and clearly see greed, disregard for other people, envy, malice and irritation to the whole wide world. No matter how he puts on a hypocritical mask and what a beautiful fashionable dress you dress him up, this person rots internally during life. He is like a walking dead man and the stench of his soul interrupts the beauty of a luxurious fashionable dress. Naked we came into this world, naked we will leave!

feng shui beauty
The Chinese teaching says feng shui, a person's thoughts are a reflection of his life. If you change your bad thoughts for good ones, life will become better.
The principle also applies to beauty, its features are considered individuality, inner strength. Stylist for famous women like Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow says that in order to strive to find beauty, you don’t need to change yourself, you need to return to yourself.
Chinese wisdom says that a woman owes three-tenths of her beauty to nature. The remaining seven-tenths is for dress and make-up.
How you will look depends on your ability to emphasize your dignity. Feng Shui helps you create the look of your dreams. In every person there is one of the five predominant elements, it underlies the human worldview. The five elements are fire, earth, wood and water. Everything changes in a person's life, and the elements also change. Of course, this all affects a person, his image, make-up and facial features.
People with wood elements possess adventurism, they are active, open, sociable. Such people think clearly, they are organized in their actions, they have a competitive spirit. The tree is always the soul of the company.
The charm of this element hides any flaws. When doing your hair, let your hair be slightly windy, free. Depending on the season, you can change the color of the hair. Always be flirtatious.
If people are dominated earth element, they are usually attentive, patient, loyal, reliable, balanced, the only negative is the periodic low self-esteem. Makeup for such people, it is not important that they apply a minimum of makeup or do not paint at all. But still it is worth using some cosmetics, they will betray you confidence.
For skin care, use moisturizers. A not too strict form of hairstyle is especially suitable for a woman with an earth type element. By making asymmetrical bangs, you will get rid of unnecessary conservatism. The length of the hair should change imperceptibly and have some fluidity; for this, you need to cut your hair with a ladder.
Man with metal element possesses self-discipline, concentration, self-confidence, pride. Such people really look at life and strive to find out the essence of things. In makeup, a discreet classic style will suit you.
For people with this element, a strict hairstyle is suitable. You can allow yourself a variety of colors and shades in your hair. The only thing that can make your hairstyle look heavier is expressive and contrasting colors.
water element- it is always a romantic nature. The properties of this personality is the desire for self-perfection. Such people are conservative, dreamy, they like to learn foreign languages and read books. The downside of this element is isolation and poor ability to live in real life.
Makeup should emphasize the romance of your nature. Your appearance must be impeccable, because you love putting on makeup. In the hairstyle, you must know the measure. Unnatural bright colors and African curls do not suit your element. Your hair should not be bulky and pretentious.
People with the element of fire don't have a moment's rest. They are explosive in nature and have frequent mood swings. Such people love everything new and bright. In makeup, you are allowed to use bright, saturated colors and use makeup according to your mood.
Do not hide yourself in your hair. Let your curly hair stay curly. Make asymmetrical haircuts and dye strands in different colors.

What is beauty? About what is hidden under this concept, there have been endless disputes since the beginning of the creation of the world. Oscar Wilde said that beauty has as many meanings as a person has moods. But this is about the visible, about the tip of a beautiful iceberg. And what is hidden under the dark water column is the beauty of the human soul. There is more discussion about her. We will talk about this.
The essence of the world
There is an opinion that in our time they talk less and less about spirituality, about what the true beauty of the soul is, and more and more pay attention to the external, to what can be seen, touched, bought or sold. Is it so? Perhaps this is true. But on the other hand, the essence of the world does not change. There have always been and will be rich and poor, truth and lies, sincerity and hypocrisy, love and hate, black and white. Everything is. The essence does not change, only new means appear. This means that the conversation about what the beauty of the soul is does not lose its relevance. And it's time to remember the words of brilliant writers, poets, great philosophers, religious figures and many others.
Where does the soul live?
Every person has a soul. It is difficult to disagree with this statement. Nobody even tries. The only thing they still argue about is where it lives, in which part of the body and whether it continues to live after bodily death.
On the one hand, from a scientific point of view, these are very interesting questions. On the other hand, does it really matter where? It can be in the solar plexus, and in the heart, and in the head. The main thing is that it is true, unique and inimitable, like a drawing on a fingertip. Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho argues that each of us is not a body endowed with a soul, but a soul, part of which is visible and is called the body.
The prominent Lebanese prose writer and philosopher Gibran Khalil Gibran argued that the spirit is primary. He wrote that the beauty of the soul is like an invisible root that goes deep into the earth, but nourishes the flower, giving it color and fragrance.
ancient greek philosophers
Since Aristotle, many philosophers have argued that beauty is a twofold concept. There is beauty of the body and beauty of the soul. Under the first understand the proportionality of parts, attractiveness, grace. All the same Aristotle said that such beauty is understood and appreciated by the common people, who are accustomed to perceive and feel the world with only five basic senses. One who admires such beauty is "only a little different from animals" relying only on their instincts.
Otherwise, the situation is with the inner world of man. Other laws operate there, which means that everything that happens among its vast latitudes is captured by other feelings. Plato argued that the beauty of the soul is tangible only by virtuous people, because the beautiful and the bad cannot coexist, one excludes the other.
Our contemporary, Paulo Coelho, echoes him and says that if a person is able to notice the beautiful, it is only because he wears it inside. The world is a mirror reflecting our true.
The beauty of writers and poets
Not only ancient Greek philosophers spoke about the fact that beauty and soul are identical concepts. The classics of world literature wrote about this and our contemporaries continue to discuss it. Let's give some examples. The 18th century German poet and playwright Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was convinced that even the most ordinary-looking body is transformed by spiritual beauty. And vice versa, the poverty of the spirit puts on the "most magnificent constitution" some kind of special, indescribable imprint and causes an incomprehensible disgust.
A century later, the Russian poet and prose writer V. Ya. Bryusov spoke about the same, but in other words: “After death, the human soul continues to live its invisible and elusive life. But if one of us was a poet, artist or architect, then after the death of the body, the beauty of his soul lives both in heaven and on earth, imprinted in the form of a word, color or stone.
And the Russian philosopher I. A. Ilyin tried to comprehend another secret - what is the beauty of the Russian soul. He compared it with a Russian song, in which "human suffering, and the deepest prayer, and sweet love, and great consolation" inexplicably merge together.
Poems about the beauty of the soul
Poets also write about the fact that beauty has two reverse sides. One of the most remarkable poems on this subject is the work of Eduard Asadov "Two Beauties". The author, seriously and jokingly at the same time, notes that two beauties rarely find themselves in the same place. As a rule, one interferes with the other. But people often do not notice this and for a long time remain "myopic" to the beauty of the soul. And only when its antipode “decently and strongly salts”, “embarrassed” they begin to think about the true.
At the end of the poem, the poet comes to one conclusion - by the end of life, two beauties always change. One is aging, decrepit, succumbing to the ruthless influence of time. And the other - the beauty of the soul - remains the same. She does not know what wrinkles are, age and does not know how to count the years. All that remains for her is to burn brightly and smile.
Other poets about the eternal
The beautiful Russian poet Vasily Kapnist regrets the frailty of earthly beauty. He sadly notes that everything on earth is given one term - a moment. It disappears, and with it the beautiful Aurora, the meteor, and beauty will sink into the abyss. But what can conquer death? Only spirit. Neither time nor the grave can "eat" him. And only in it the color of beauty is eternal.
The talented Russian symbolist poet Konstantin Balmont sings of the eternal beauty of love, suffering and renunciation. In his poem “There is only one beauty in the world”, he writes that the gods of Hellas, and the blue sea, and waterfalls, and “heavy mountains”, no matter how beautiful, cannot be compared with the beauty of the soul of Jesus Christ, who agreed to voluntary suffering for humanity.
findings
So, if for centuries great minds have been talking about the same thing - about the eternity of the spirit and the frailty of the body, then why do we continue this senseless race for brilliance, splendor and picturesqueness? Israeli Kabbalist Michael Laitman claims that the soul is born again and again only to experience different states, as if trying on different clothes. And only having measured everything and realizing that the pursuit of fame, wealth, external beauty and eternal youth brings nothing but emptiness and disappointment, the soul turns its gaze to the true, looks inside itself and seeks answers to all questions only from God.
In other words, the scientist says that the cultivation of the beauty of the body is nothing but a necessary stage of development. After all, it is impossible at school from the first grade to immediately jump to the tenth and understand what trigonometry is, if you are still training to write beautiful numbers and letters in cursive. And, as the Arab philosopher D. H. Gibran said, there comes a moment when you perceive the world not as an image that you would like to see, and not as a song that you would like to hear, but as an image and a song that a person sees and hears, even if he closes his eyes and ears.
It is generally accepted that a person is endowed with freedom of will and action, that he is a free creature, because he has freedom of choice. But if you think about it, then people one way or another, but depend on each other. And if something doesn’t work out for someone, then there will be someone who will also suffer because of this.
The same strikes of workers in a particular field of activity often arise due to a reduction in wages or in general a complete long-term lack of payment for work. Strikers suffer no less than those who were drawn into this situation, even if not on purpose.
But, despite the fact that a person works, is busy in the family, that he has any obligations to others, he is still considered a free creature and uses the remnants of his freedom as he sees fit. Even if a person moves from the city to the countryside, he still has to work to feed himself.
Outwardly (from the side visible to everyone), a person can be very busy, always running somewhere. But all this and much more cannot become an obstacle to creating within oneself one's own unique inner world, where often secret thoughts, desires, hopes and dreams are stored.
The inner world of a person can be called a treasury, a receptacle where his soul lives. It is invisible to anyone, imperceptible even to its bearer, it is truly free and has no barriers. Because even the human body still obeys various laws and is not capable of everything. And if a person in real life also suffers from some kind of illness, then his external freedom is also very relative. But inside ourselves, thanks to the soul and what we put in it, we can feel free. After all, it happens that in reality you are at the workplace, but your thoughts are somewhere far away. You fly away from everything, immerse yourself inside yourself, remember the past, think about the present and the future, and nothing prevents you from immersing yourself inside your soul.
And if in reality some long-awaited event happens to a person, then the soul sings inside him, and his eyes burn, filled with happiness and love for the world. And through the radiance of the eyes, the soul betrays its presence in a person, its exultation and awe, because it is not for nothing that the eyes are called the mirror of the human soul.
The best thing in a person is his soul. Because a person can control the body with the help of the brain, but with the soul everything is more difficult. The soul does not and cannot have a limit, it is multifaceted and immeasurable. Thomas Aquinas once said that in every soul lives the attraction to happiness and meaning. It's hard to disagree with this.
The soul, like the heart, sometimes cannot be controlled by a person, because it is alive and real, and the physical (bodily) sometimes “blurs” the soul, because it is easier for a person to live this way.
It often happens that, for one reason or another, a person seeks to hide his soul (its kindness) from others, closes in himself. But if a person wants to find a way out for his good spiritual impulses, then sooner or later he will find a way out for them. Everyone expresses it in their own way. Some begin to paint pictures professionally or at the call of the soul for themselves and loved ones, others write poetry, children's fairy tales or do something else, because the soul vividly demands this, because through their spiritual impulses a person often gets rid of the complexes and barriers that exist outside.
The soul is something that cannot be seen or felt, but this does not prevent it from making us better, kinder and more tolerant of people and the world around us. I would like to conclude the article with the words of the German poet and playwright Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, who said the following about the soul: “The beauty of the soul gives charm even to a nondescript body, just as the ugliness of the soul puts some special imprint on the most magnificent constitution and on the most beautiful members of the body. which excites in us an inexplicable disgust.
