Have you ever noticed that some people marvel at the beauty around them all of the time and others don’t even see it? Beauty and creativity are related, in that artists and poets and gardeners and dreamers are lost in the beauty of the moment. Beauty is like gratitude, because when we notice beauty, it is similarly a state of appreciation.
The words below are from a youtube post of Master Lin of Spring Forest Qigong. I learned Qigong from him the year of COVID isolation. People picked projects for themselves back then, and this was mine. Every day I did Qigong with him for a half hour. I really like this as you seldom see beauty explained this way and it resonated! I thought it was “beautiful”!
Opening your heart to the beauty of the universe. -Spring Forest Qigong.
The ability to perceive beauty in the world is a wonderful way of cultivating and opening the heart.
True beauty is not just in what meets the eye—it’s in the way we experience life through our hearts.
When we surrender our egos, release rigid belief systems, and open ourselves to the infinite wisdom of the universe, we enter a space of deep silence. This inner quiet allows us to be fully present, to recognize the beauty that surrounds us in every moment.
Beauty is not just about aesthetics; it is everything that touches us on a spiritual level. When we connect with beauty in this way, we are cultivating our heart center, opening to a deeper understanding of the world and ourselves.
This profound connection with beauty is the doorway to merging with the universe. It is where we find the power and wisdom that exist in perfect harmony, and where we can experience the oneness of all things.
Embrace the beauty in everything around you today, and allow it to open your heart to the vastness of the universe.
