Just like we can’t escape life, we can’t ignore the wrinkles of time. They will reach all of us. Yet we get dismayed when we see blemishes, dark spots, white hair, or loose flesh. We all want to be wrinkle free with fresh dewy skin! Hence the invasion of pots of fancy jars and creams and cosmetic surgeons.
But why do we need to be young? Remember even the universe gets old, new stars are born, leaves dry and fall, the earth’s surface wrinkles, the sea’s surface dries, so why not embrace your wrinkles rather than fighting them?
To embrace and enjoy your wrinkles view them with love and affection. As you would do so you would realize that each wrinkle on our faces was created over a year or a decade. It holds within it the unique wisdom of life, a situation, a sense of time, a life, a loved one. It marks your evolution in life.
Yes! We can remove them with surgery or erase them with creams, something the cosmetic industry exploits, yet isn’t it akin to cutting the spirit from your life?
To enjoy your wrinkles look at the brightness within not the darkness. To do so first look at your face clearly. Count as many wrinkles as you can. Yes, this can be fun! Now think of the memory which comes up randomly as you look in your face. Embrace the happy thoughts in it and release all the negativity from the memory using any healing method you prefer. Repeat this for a month. End the exercise each time by look at the sun each day and asking that it fills you with love and light.
Watch your face, it may now crinkle with happiness!
