Health

Note: Writings about our spirit, soul, essence, our true Self, higher Self, heart, core refers to that within us beyond our physical mind & body that we each know; the fact that we are open & reading, willing to hear & learn is already a sign that we are awake & aware to that innate true Self within us. Our awareness is a journey of endless learning. Often writings posted on this blog are just simple, condensed commentaries on stuff that we already know, 'hear all the time', or may be something new, or from a new perspective; regardless, be open and let them serve as reminders of our own innate knowing and wisdom, and if we think we know better and more, please be open & share. We are all always learning.
Quotes, texts, teachings sometimes used as reference do not indicate any affiliation to any particular lineage, concept, religion or belief system. The writings on this blog is of the essence that is universal and pure beneath and before them all.

HEALTH

Health is big issue and big industry. As a human being we all want 'good' health for vitality and well being.Good health enables us the ability and energy to enjoy life to the full and not suffer discomfort, pain or restrictions. Optimum health we all know entails a balance of healthy diet, regular exercise and positive mind frame. All sound fine and great, and we know it all in theory, but in practice may be quite a challenge when we have acquired some not so desirable habits through our life journeys, and be subjected to an all not-so-perfect physical environment. Nevertheless, the basis of health, like in all areas of our physical life, is CHOICE. We are the ones with the choice, to want to see, learn, change and take the necessary steps.

As a living human being we consists of many levels, the main ones being physical, mental, emotional, spiritual (in ascending order). Hence, optimum health involves the integration on all levels of our living being. Attending to only one particular area without the others will pose limitations on the manifestation of good health. For example, if we only focus on exercising obsessively 7 days/week without attending to our emotional needs of giving and receiving love, or mental balance of cultivating empowering thoughts, and not awake or aware to our real Self that is beyond mind and body; we are only focusing on the physical, with imbalances in the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. We might end up with rippling muscles, a triple sized lung, and heart that pumps rigorously; but we will still be unhealthy because old emotions that were suppressed  and unhealed still festers as buildup of biochemical and cellular toxins as new emotions continue to fill; negative and self defeating thought patterns that were ingrained neural patterns continue to fire, reinforce and autopilot our present thinking, outlook and reactions; hence again triggering more emotions and physiological effects in the body.
Thoughts and emotions are interrelated and  imbalances in either or both can continue to fuel each other into a vicious cycle of spiral towards total breakdown or self destruction. Without being awake and aware of our true Self through our own personal reality (spiritual level), this perspective may not even be at all obvious, we will continue to work and struggle through each minute area in each level of our being, to try and correct and improve with the best of our limited physical capability. To come to the reality of who we really are beyond this mind and body is a shift within us that is almost like a 'short cut'. Working from above, it flows through to all levels ie emotional, mental, physical; making the perspective clearer, our innate knowing ever present, through the journey of healing and maintaining balance.Good health then naturally filters into all areas of our lives, not just our physical bodies, but also our relationships, careers, dreams and goals. Effortlessly we seem to find ourselves living to the full each present moment in sync and in flow, with unconditional peace, love and happiness.Sounds idealistic? Not at all.

Love & Light,
