A  battle to Win

Much too often we forget the importance in fueling ourselves -in the right way. We all need nutrients to survive. We can obtain these nutrients by the food we eat and fluids we drink. We are like plants in the way that we need a sun for energy; need water to sustain our fluids and form; air for oxygenated energy and earth- for Her minerals. Having balance in our diet and domestic lifestyle is key to one reaching higher states of health.

The way we live is a huge choice by the way.

I have taught yoga to many having all the material luxuries in life but having very little physical health and happiness to show for it. Most people out of ignorance feel that their life is going rather swell until one day news breaks out of something odd -something unfamiliar.

A typical example: 

As it turns out one afternoon going in for your annual physical, your doctor tells you something you haven't heard before -that you have a disease. Your ears cannot hear and only your eyes see the words coming off his lips -a moment passes, then your mind wakes and shakes -"oh my God -what AM I going to do"?! Later that afternoon,  in rebuttalment, your EGO takes charge of the scenario and convinces you that your disease is curable through fast drugs and A very good insurance policy -wiping your brow eased at the thought of it, you continue on with your evening, feeling better, although the pain is pushed deeper still -until later...when it comes again. 

These days, there is no reassuring that when we fall apart someone will be there to take care of the pieces. We ultimately have to take care of ourselves and battle the viscous cycle of craving and attaching that makes us miserable and eventually sick.

Give your cravings the test:

Want something -then get it -and then maybe an immediate sense of gratification takes over because now you have it -but soon enough the gratifying part goes away and then is replaced with another, once again, burdening sense attachment. AND what do we do when it calls again?!- we do it again of coarse! -giving in to our wants. The EGO keeps winning folks! (This applies to any of our wants.)

One cannot have peace serving the ego all the time -it is impossible.
Instead we should fortify the self of real needs - needs that help assist us in spiritual growth, only then is there a door for one to open in Heaven and happiness in this life.   

Without contributing time and effort into ones health one will never be truly vitalized or be aware of the inner consciousness.
Our IC (inner consciousness) is our great friend and guide to through the surmountable changes we have to face in life. Try not to push the voice aside and listen well to what it is saying -for it is the truth.

The closer we connect to our IC is ultra important.
Be a close friend to its whisper and feed the whisper
so its voice can roar again!!

WE ARE STRONG and above our weakness.
