Spiritual and Physical Health
It's All Connected
The misconception about physical health is the tendency to focus on one aspect rather than all components of what makes a healthy individual. It's no wonder there are as many disabling diseases as there are out there, and why the myriad of health programs, weight loss solutions, diets, and exercise regimes produce mediocre results.
The truth is that the key to optimal health is a holistic approach. The human body is tightly connected with one's spiritual health because of the idea that humans are entities in an energetic body that vibrates at a certain frequency. This gives new meaning to the phrase, "We are all spiritual beings in a human experience."
You Are What You Think
What is good for one is good for the many; hence why treating one aspect of the human being affects the other aspects as well.
A healthy body results in a healthy brain, for instance. A healthy brain functioning at its full capacity leads to increased intelligence, increased concentration, less irritation, increase in self-esteem and general well being. If you ask any teacher, this is the ideal state for a student. In this state, the student can absorb and understand new knowledge and concepts at his or her maximum potential. Continued growth and learning only spirals the student upwards into more growth and learning, which in turn generates more confidence and a sense of well-being.
Looking at a healthy brain and body from a spiritual level, we see the human potential sky rocketing to abilities and talents that border on the level of a genius. For example, the spinal cord keeps the human skeleton upright and gives a pathway for the brain and body to communicate with each other. On a spiritual level, the spinal cord functions as the antennae for the human consciousness to access wider consciousness. When accessing wider consciousness, the potential to manifest increases, the ability to heal oneself without any medical treatment increases, and so on.
Negligence caused by poor health, on the other hand, makes inter-communication difficult for the human being, causes lack of concentration, muscle tension, and so on.
From that perspective, a perfectly aligned spine, supported by the right nutrients, minerals, and vitamins becomes absolutely necessary.
"Feed your body so your brain can work. Feed your mind so consciousness can come through you...or you're going to die."
