Health - the Ability to Adapt to Change
We may have a vague idea of health – we may know we DON’T want to feel the way we currently do.
We may remember a time when everything worked on automatic.
We may need to start with – what SHOULD my body be doing?
We find a health is vibrancy when using a more inspired definition than just an absence of disease.
In a state of perfect functioning, our bodies automatically readjust constantly to shifts in the environment – inner and outer. If we are well, everything is taken care of without us having to do anything except live in our body.
By taking charge, we can create our own healing.
By taking a working definition of health as being one where there is internal shift to any dynamic living circumstance, we can then see in whatever aspect of our lives, health becomes the ability to “roll with the punches”.
We can then see that WE are in control far more than we thought – luck has little to do with it.
The quality and timing of the fuel (food) we choose to use and the emotional responses (feelings)
we choose as appropriate determine how the next instance is played out (our life events), and how we experience it and how this shapes those moments/everything that follows.
If we follow the current medical approach we could be lulled into thinking that our life choices have little to do with the apparent ‘lucky dip’ of catching or developing diseases. We could play ‘pretend’, and absolve ourselves from any responsibility in our own illnesses, and find ourselves playing the victim role, where we have no control, and thus little chance of success.
Runny nose, fever, cough, even pneumonia — the symptoms sound like swine flu but children hospitalized at one U.S. hospital in fact had a rhinovirus, better known as a common cold virus, doctors are telling us. That is what they are telling themselves and the rest of us but what is it that is really going on that is driving these kids to hospitals? Today, when even a cold will land kids in the hospital, is it really the cold virus itself that is so threatening or is something else at work?
