The Body: ABUNDANT
HEALTH
Health is one of the 4 areas in life which relate to
Abundance. They are: our relationship with ourselves, our relationship with
others, our physical health and our relationship with the material world.
It comes thus as no surprise that one of the favourite
themes people use as a good luck omen to each other is Health.
I found an article a few days ago that said that in
general we spend an average of 5 years of our lives worrying! See how much time
(energy) we spend with something that is totally useless? Worry! And most of
our worries are about our bodies (its shape, weight, health), closely followed
by our financial worries. Money is the theme of our next chapter. Now the theme
is the Body and its state of Health.
Everything in our lives is interconnected. There
cannot therefore be health if there is imbalance. My concept of balance is
inner balance, emotional, mental and spiritual balance. Lack of this balance
leads us to behave in unhealthy ways. Actually our lack of conscious choice
concerning our reality, which is a direct consequence of not using our expanded
consciousness, leads to the random nature of our lives in all areas, including
physical health.
When I mention Health in this chapter, I am referring
to Health in general, be it physical or mental, since any kind of health
imbalance has a direct reflection on our bodies, which is our main subject
here.
Not being a doctor, it is not my purpose to pass
diagnosis here, nor to advise medical healing solutions. I am, however, a
Health and Fitness professional, and in this context I deem to offer a more
ample vision of Health.
There are several pertinent issues to focus on.
The first issue to address shall be your current
relationship with your body. Here are some questions for you to consider.
Please reply to these
questions without reflecting about them. Simply give the first answer that
springs to mind, without thinking about what sense the questions and answers
make:
1.
From 0 to 100% how do you consider your relationship with your body?
2.
Are there parts of your body with which you do not feel entirely
satisfied? Please answer just YES or NO.
3.
From 0 to 100%, what is your degree of Comfort with your body?
Is what others think about your body relevant to you? Please
reply just YES or NO.
Please write a few
sentences or key words/phases about the following questions:
1. What do you do to take care of your body?
2. Does what you do to take care of your body derive from
your fear of becoming ill or from your pleasure in being healthy?
3. Do you usually respect your body’s natural rhythms
(for example: resting when you’re tired, sleeping when you’re sleepy, giving
time to your body for it to regenerate naturally when you are ill, stopping
when you feel pain and taking care of that pain… and so on?
4. Do you listen to your body (do you feel what it tells
you)?
5. Is your body the physical shape / space with which you
present yourself to the world, or is it the physical form you inhabit?
6. Have you ever noticed that your emotions affect the
way in which you feel your body? And if you have, do you allow yourself to feel
them in your body or do you try and put them to sleep (through food, exercise,
agitation, television or any other form of distraction)?
How to use these questions in a productive way?
Firstly, these questions have given you the opportunity to make your position
towards your body clearer to you, helping you to realize how you relate to it. The
answers have probably shown you whether you relationship with your body is
simple and fluid or otherwise, an area of “conflict” for you. If there are
parts of your body that you reject, if you don’t feel comfortable with it, if
you don’t entirely respect its natural rhythms, if you are not aware of the
fact that your emotions and thoughts affect your physical well-being, or on the
other hand you are aware but always use some sort of distraction in order not
to feel your body’s calls – then it is natural that your health sometimes
fails.
Please bear with me: if you didn’t have a body you
would not be able to walk on the Earth. You would not be able to taste, smell,
see, hear, feel all that surrounds you. Even if any of these faculties is not
available to you due to a health/bodily condition, there is always much
abundance to behold one way or another, on this bountiful planet.
Ok. Some people are born with birth or hereditary
conditions, or other physical handicaps. We all bring our story with us,
imprinted in our genetic pattern, in all of our cells, molecules and electrons.
The question is that the potential for transformation
of anything in our bodies exists. And it exists equally for all of us. Some may
be choosing not to transform what they have brought into this lifetime with
them, because it serves a multitude of purposes no one can grasp totally. And
so it is. Nevertheless, there are others who shall want to transform
themselves, and even though outer physical handicaps are not always easy to
change, the way in which we choose to live in the body we have is completely
changeable.
Here are a few challenges to general western (and
other) beliefs about physical health
·
There are simply no irreversible or incurable chronic, birth hereditary
diseases.
·
There is, actually, no such thing as incurable diseases.
·
The body has its own healing processes.
·
DNA is in constant transformation, as we change our habits, belief
systems, behaviour, thoughts. We can, therefore, remove hereditary diseases, be
it from our own life, be it from our children’s lineage, if they have been
conceived after the transformation has occurred in our own DNA.
Be it your physical health, or any other area of your
life, what you believe in is what you see, understand and accept, thus, it is
what occurs.
