What is Health?
Health is a very important issue and something very dear to my heart and something I feel passionate about.
What is actually meant by the word health, can it be defined, is it an interpretation or just a feeling? A single word that encompasses so many concepts.
What is health:- a dictionary definition I have found is as follows:
1. The general condition of the body or mind with reference to soundness and vigor: Good Health: Poor Health
2. Soundness of body or mind; freedom from disease or ailment: to have one’s health; to lose one’s health.
3. A polite or complimentary wish for a person’s health, happiness, etc., esp. as a toast: we drank a health to our guest of honor.
4. Vigor; Vitality: economic health
When we say we are in good health what do we mean? We look at our physical body see it’s form, be it slim, fat or be it medium build, but in all forms we can still be in ill health.
To be free of disease, our body must feel at ease, to me a disease is saying your body is not at ease, it’s under dis-ease.
To be in good health or healthy, we need to have our mind and body working together.
Good health is all those things, I don’t believe that we can be in good health if our physical body is not strong or flexible and our mind is not in tune with the body. One needs to feel the energy inside and release any stagnant energy which remains due to lack of activity and constantly sitting in one position for long periods of time.
To become healthy I have start a programme of self healing, I have attended various courses of self healing and healing, subsequently I am delivering energy healing to family and friends. Although I have the acquired skills and knowledge to be able to become a practitioner and offer it as a service with payment, I have decided to pursue this on a voluntary basis, I get more satisfaction by concentrating on delivering a good service and not worrying about trying to build a business.
A good way to speed up the self healing is share with others, as result of this I regularly engage my family and friends to exercise with me, working on different exercise to energize the different parts of the body.
I explain how the particular excise can heal the particular organ before commencing with the exercises which leads to greater vitality.
One of the most frustating thing for me is that in our society we are discouraged to live healthily, in terms that to buy healthy foods it costs more, to exercise to help the mind and body it’s expensive, to become a member of a gym it’s becoming expensive, is it that only the rich should be healthy?
Our government does not do enough to encourage everyday people to start a journey to good health. I do not only mean physical health but also mental health. In our society we are under more and more pressure to deliver and “Succeed” so we all fall foul of stress, I don’t think we are educated sufficiently in the area of stress management.
In my opinion our health practitioners of modern medicine have failed us, they do not see us the patient as a whole, they diagnose a problem but do not look at the patient as a complete system, every part of the body is linked and an ailment should not be seen in isolation.
Many years ago I had decided that I was going to change my lifestyle and follow a holistic way of life, that was the best decision I have made, I am for complimentary therapies, some would say alternative, I say modern medicine of being given a prescription for anything and everything is an alternative, I chose to live naturally. I would recommend reseraching all the complimentry therapies that is available out there, they work, in my view because you take responsibility for your health.
Here’s to a life of good health and enjoying every moment in the present.
