With cosmetics, jewelry box, hairbrush, comb, and dainty chair, the dressing table was a fixture in movie making during the 1930s to 1960s.

In movies, a woman wearing lingerie or a negligee while sitting at the boudoir rarely attracts her audience. She applied makeup after examining her face for signs of aging. She brushed her hair while she looked at herself in the mirror. She can style it next. She selected her fragrance from a beautiful setting of cut glass bottles that caught and reflected the light. She selected her bracelet or necklace from the jewelry box and looked in the mirror to see if it enhanced her beauty.

The camera captured the woman’s facial expressions as she sat up to look into her face. Her thoughts, her powerful energy, were undoubtedly focused on her beauty. Positive thoughts were expressed about how she viewed herself. Disappointment was felt at how beauty will fade. This was a definite place where concentration of thought was practiced.

Women and girls still wear vanities; Whether it’s a desk with drawers, a mirror and a chair, or the bathroom mirror, it should be the place where we empower ourselves. The dresser is an altar that captures the energy of our thoughts and plays them repeatedly until we change them.

More women are embracing positive self-expression and ignoring the standards that damage a woman’s psyche and, in extreme cases, her body. Our thoughts are unique and we can hurt or cheer ourselves up with them.

Science has shown that thinking can change many things about our physical being, including how we look and how old we are. Put yourself in the alpha state of mind to create looking slightly above eye level and blurring your vision. Visualize or imagine what you want on your forehead in the mirror. Take it there and reproduce it with improvements, if you want, during the day and in your dreams.

Would there be a need for a dresser if I did not see? The objects with which the young man or woman surrounds themselves appeal to her senses of touch and hearing. Texture and shape, positive, braille words and action phrases or recordings would be the fixtures on your table and the wall around it.

If the wearer were audibly challenged, their senses of touch and sight would be available to respond to their favorite colors, pleasing textures, and joy-invoking images. For whatever sense is available, bring items that are uplifting, represent goals and ideals, and are memorable in this private space.

Vanity reinforces pride in oneself. The synonyms for pride are delight and pleasure. We can express delight and pleasure by allowing our expressions of beauty. Beauty is not just about the face. A synonym for beauty is magnificence, of Light, our manifested spiritual energy, in which our bodies and minds are sustained. Also, it is about embracing our spiritual selves. We are more than our bodies.

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugliness is to the bone” is partially true. Beauty is to the bone. Thoughts are not limited to looking beautiful, but to feeling beautiful. Faith and good works carry energy. They radiate through and beyond you. Belief and thought create beauty when acted upon.

Sit or stand in front of the mirror and be thankful for everything that has brought you there. Both negative and positive life experiences served you well. In Spirit, agreements were made for certain events to take place in order for them to grow. Energize your intentions with positive thoughts. feel it; I’m serious. Focus the energy of your thoughts on the altar consistently and eventually you will feel or see them manifest.
