There’s a firehose of
information about health soaking us with different approaches, practices,
diets, detoxes, lifestyles plus technologies telling us how to be healthier, technologies
that deplete us and others that protect us from the technologies that poison
us. We’re in the midst of a health
revolution with billboards demanding our well-being. And the more choices there
are the more confusing it can become. What’s right for me? What does my
body need? What is in my energy field that needs clearing?
What does my liver need…my kidneys….my fascia…..? .… And the list goes on and on.
The great news is the health revolution ignites a new opportunity for our in-volution: to turn inward and connect
to our higher intelligence, our deeper knowing and create a relationship with
our bodies, minds, hearts and spirits. One of the benefits of building the
relationship is a heightened awareness of when we are in sync with our natural
health and when we are veering off course. By developing a practice of
communication with the different aspects of our makeup, we can
gather valuable information to inform and guide us toward what we need in order
to live and sustain a healthy life.
One of the most powerful approaches for in-volution is through a gentle
dialogue sparked through questions which open us up to possibilities beyond what we think
we already know about ourselves. Try these inquiries to check into each aspect of your HEALTH and
see what each of them has to offer to help guide you in making the appropriate
choices for living your life of H-E-A-L-T-H.
