Concept of beauty in Ayurveda
Ayurveda teaches that health is maintained by the balance of three subtle energies,known as vata, pitta, and kapha. These energies account for all forms of matter (kapha), the force and direction they move (vata), and the transformations they go through (pitta). As all life forms possess these qualities, the purpose of Ayurveda is to bring these force into harmony so that they promote physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. All Ayurvedic treatments help in returning these energies into a balance rather than concentrate on what their imbalance manifests. Ayurveda focuses on the root cause rather than the symptoms.
Beauty in the context of Ayurveda refers to both inner and outer aspects. The more we nurture our self, the more radiant we become physically.
Outer beauty is what we most commonly associate with the field of beauty. It is the perfection of what is visually perceived. It includes the obvious traits such as contours of the body, texture of the skin, and the quality of the hair and nails. But in Ayurveda it also includes grace in posture and movement and the subtle qualities of freshness and vitality and magnetizing brightness of being.
Inner beauty relates to inner qualities of being including emotional states and mental abilities. Like physical qualities, they are largely determined at birth and are considered to be the result of actions and aspiration from previous lives. As physical form can be molded by diet and lifestyle, we can also train our minds to cultivate positive states of being. Just as the body can be purified and strengthened to make it outwardly more beautiful, so the mind can become tamed and disciplined. The start of this process is to begin to accept who we are and begin to truly care for and appreciate ourselves. With mind training, the ability relax while concentrating helps as to be alert and more aware in the moment. This moves our whole being naturally towards our greatest human potential and activities- to act skilfully in the world with compassion and loving kindness.
The secret aspect of beauty refers to the energy, insight, and inspiration it takes to balance the inner and outer. Developing this special quality takes time, patience, and a willingness to learn from experience. This is the mark of real maturity that ripens into deep lasting beauty that is experienced from within and seen by all from without.
Prakruti and beauty
Prakruti literally means “the first creation.” It is determined at the point of conception and refers to the innermost nature of an individual.it is the unique blend of qualities that makes each of us, from the point of conception, completely unique.
Discovering your prakruti is the beginning of understanding the qualities of your uniqueness. Becoming familiar with these qualities is your guide to knowing how to best take care of yourself and bring forth your own unique, nature beauty.
