Mind Over Matter
"The human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of good health lies in successful adjustments to changing stresses on the body." Harry Johnson
The physical body is a remarkable machine. It is a marvelous gift and the place we call home during life on earth. The body houses an incredible mind, a guidance system comprised of our emotions and a spark of the Divine, which is who we really are. the body enables us to physically connect with the external world through our senses. We are able to see the wonders of creation, to hear the sounds of nature, to smell the flowers, taste the divine fruits of the earth and feel the textures of the physical world. When we function as a whole and balanced human being, we have the ability to learn, grow, and spiritually evolve. This is why we are here in the first place.
When you were born, you were fully and completely connected to your physical self. You felt everything very intensely and the needs of your body were primary. When you were hungry, wet or frightened you expressed what you were feeling through your cries. In an ideal world, this brought the adults around you scurrying to meet your needs. When you were fed, dry and safe, you would express this as well with your coos and smiles.
