What do YOU do to promote your health?
Many readers of these articles are already incorporating healthy diets (free of pollutants, pesticides and additives), clean water and fitness routines. This will keep your body healthier.
Preventive health is also possible through self-healing exercises you can do for your body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit. (To see how all of these parts of yourself are closely inter-related, click here
.) By attending to our self-care on a regular basis, we are more relaxed, less stressed and bothered with worries. We are then more available to respond fully in the present to whatever challenges come our way.
TWR
(Transformative Wholistic Reintegration) can be enormously helpful for building resilience in many manners:
- TWR decreases anxieties, tensions and worries will reduce your stress hormone levels.
– This enables your body to function much more smoothly and effectively.
– Being less tense and up tight enables your mind and emotions to function in more relaxed, natural and nurturing ways.
– Your relationships with other people will be smoother and gentler.
– You will find it easier to meditate and to engage in other spiritual practices - TWR clears residues of traumas and losses
This reduces anxieties, tensions and triggered responses of fears, angers, grief and depression, contributing to (1)
This leaves you more centered on all levels of your being and able to respond in healing manners in all aspects of your life - TWR can eliminate insomnia
This enables you to function at greater levels of focus and efficiency on all levels of your being - TWR enables you to clarify what your body symptoms want you to know about your life. Each and every body issue you have can become your friend and advisor. Pains, stiffness, indigestion, infections, illnesses that affect particular parts of the body can all convey information and suggestions about how to attend better to yourself.
Example:
Sonya tripped on the edge of a throw-rug in her home and bruised her knee. Over the following days the pain increased, to the point that it seriously restricted her movement. Her doctor could find nothing that even warranted a scan or x-ray and prescribed a pain killer. A friend pointed Sonya to my book, Seven Minutes to Natural Pain Release . Sonya was skeptical about my suggestions for dialoguing with her pain, but her friend suggested she had little to lose by exploring this. To her surprise, when she quietly asked her knee what it wanted her to know about her life, it immediately responded, “You’re constantly running in too many different directions. You’re always complaining you’re so busy that you can’t get many things done. Slow down and consider carefully what is really important in your life.” As Sonya absorbed this message, she was astounded to find that her knee pain was less than half as bad as it had been only a few minutes earlier – for the first time in more than 2 weeks. With further dialogues with her knee, her pain cleared completely.
Many of our physical problems can clear when we TWR away the underlying issues. This leaves us more resilient and free to enjoy life to the fullest.
