Keys to Health & Vitality
NUTRITION
Ingest the best and forget the rest. Take into your body, mind and spirit only that which supports, sustains and inspires the BEST in you.
MOVEMENT
Life is flow. To move with the flow is healthy. To resist is stressful. Move with the natural inner movement physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.
BREATH
To breathe in (inhale) fully life energy, Spirit, Prana, inspiration, is to expand our awareness to open to an enlightened mind. To exhale fully is to truly release what is no longer needed.
TOUCH
Reaching out with Love and respect for each other opens our bodies and beings to trust in the gentleness we all deserve to experience.
THOUGHT
Choose for those thoughts which heal and free you to be unlimited in health and wholeness. Forgive (erase) the beliefs which are limiting or false.
ATTITUDE
Carry with you an attitude of gratitude and love for yourself and others. Allow yourself to see all things work together for good.
BALANCE
Moderation in all things will bring your life into harmony. As we give ourselves what is really best for us, the extremes are gently released.
HEALTH
What you perceive in others and the world you strengthen in your Self. Focus on illness, disease and weakness and you actually weaken yourself. See only health and wholeness and you move yourself in the direction you are looking.
