the ethereal nature of some beautiful people- inspired by Heaven Sent Honey's video on Youtube, "The Anatomy of a Muse."
1. channeling your truest nature
what makes someone a muse? what makes one so special it inspires the artists and creators of our world to immortalize one fleeting soul? history's muses are ethereal, unique, and completely distinct. a muse is self-possessed, and complete control of their disposition and demeanor. they are aware of themselves, who they are, and how they carry themselves. a muse must inspire, and inspiration isn't found in those who are unoriginal.
create your own universe. do what you like and don't feel obligated to explain it. be yourself (corny, i know) and embrace everything about you. put your style and personality of full display, and never include those who are undeserving into your orbit. you must know yourself and identify how you want to be perceived. you must detach from the judgements and opinions of everyone, and never shy away from showing them who you are.
going hand in hand with being totally unique and otherworldly, muses are able to retain their own distinct aura which can only be found around them. once a muse knows who they are, they are able to create their persona, the mirage that an artist or a lover becomes infatuated with. for some, personas are unnecessary, while others indulge in remaining a mystery.
decide what feels right, or what is most beneficial. having a filtered image of who you are for the public and those bewitched by your soul, keeping your true self sacred, or letting your whole being shine, allowing others to love you for who you are completely, with no doubts. both options have their undeniable perks, so for those who find it impossible to chose, i opt for being my true self around those who i find worthy. what is the point of showing everything to those too ignorant to understand, or those who simply don't care? remember to always love your true self, no matter how you decide you'd like to be perceived.
the mannerisms, movements, and overall flow a muse is one of the most efficient ways in which they capture us. they move in a way that makes us watch them, makes us stare, and makes us want to understand how they move the way they do. the way our muses move makes us wonder if perhaps it's a science that we simply can't grasp.
in fact, the science of movement is quiet simple. be present and aware of your inherent beauty, and move slowly, with purpose. the key to grace is confidence, and not the boisterous, flashy sort, but rather, self-assuredness. be sure in everything you do, in every move you make. don't let yourself fall into anxiety and doubt.
while a muse's aura keeps the artist enchanted, we cannot deny the power of physical appearance. the physical is what captures our attention in beginning. at first glance, a woman's big eyes or lovely lips causes you to stare, or perhaps a man's defined face or unique nose leaves you thinking of him for the following week. a muse is aware of their physical being and their features, and loves themself. because each of us is unique, and the muse prides themselves in highlighting what makes them different.
look in the mirror. are you dissatisfied with yourself physically? do you ever find yourself hating what you look like? it's completely normal, but it really shouldn't be. to combat self hate and reach your full muse potential, find beauty in the way you were created. you were not designed in order for you to hate your body or get plastic surgery.
accent what makes you physically unique. makeup, jewelry, clothes, hairstyles- use what is at your disposal to create an appearance which when you look in the mirror truly feels like it's you.
to be a muse is to be like a tiny god, a force which inspires creation
