Synopsis

What really matters? Surprisingly, it is beauty—True Beauty. We have all experienced moments of True Beauty—whether seeing a field of flowers, hearing a child laugh, or feeling in harmony with everything around us. Practicing True Beauty—not to be mistaken for glamour—puts us in synchronicity with the healing of our planet as well as on the path of spiritual evolution. Most importantly, by learning to engage with beauty more often, we can heal our cultural dysfunctions and transform our world and our role within it to be more positive and generative. Beauty as Action guides us on the journey to become practitioners of True Beauty through simple, everyday actions that don’t require esoteric tools or objects. With humor, anecdotes, and dashes of philosophy, author, shamanic practitioner, and inventor Lisa Z. Lindahl shows us how we can: 1. Consciously practice the pursuit and cultivation of True Beauty beyond surfaces and appearances 2.Recognize and honor the presence of True Beauty while we actively engage in creating it 3. Preserve and return the prominence of True Beauty in our global culture For the sake of ourselves and our world, we must act now. Beauty as Action shows us how.

Blah, blah, blah...

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" my mother would admonish me when I did not do something I had said I would. It is one thing to have a sense of what could/should happen next,,, and another to figure out how to DO it, how to move something from idea to action. Words have power, but transforming them into action broadcasts that power. It is for this reason that the Practices of True Beauty exist...

Book Excerpt

Beauty as Action

The primary purpose of a beauty practice is to:

1. Turn off the shorthand of our sensing and perceiving abilities and turn on our more basic (yet often obscured) capabilities to sense and understand

2. Truly see and appreciate the harmonious and serendipitous relationships all around us

3. Create, cultivate, and nurture such wherever and however we are each individually able to do so

Practicing beauty is retraining the eye and the brain to avoid oversimplifying generalizations and isolating fragmentation, to see with the heart and the soul and to invigorate our natural capacity for wonder.
