Healthy Body and Soul

 

We all seek a measure of enlightment. This journey to self fulfillment starts with being at peace with our extrinsic world. It is in our external environment that we come to understand how we are being in the world.

We gain, through this mirrored feedback, a consciousness of our inner world. When our body, our feelings, our thinking, our actions, and our environment are in harmony with our core values we can then, more profoundly, explore the spiritual nature of our being.

*Ivan Pavlov with his "conditioned reflex" results

*John Watson's studies in behavioral conditioning

These pioneers and more provide us scientific knowledge that helps us make the undeniable connection between our mental and physical states.

A healthy body is not possible without a healthy mind. The body and mind are one.

While we are all unique entities, we are never alone. We all share a common composition, a common way of being, of loving, of honoring, and of valuing others, and our selves. Through these connected threads, expressed and shared through stories, myths, experiences, or language, we grow, develop, and reach a greater sense of self, and a greater sense of devotion to all living things.

Perhaps the wholeness, that is in every cell of our beautiful body, is the wisdom we seek. Can our mind listen to our body?
