Extreme physical and mental weakness will impair your
ability to concentrate. Ill health will not prohibit the learning, but it will
definitely impact it. Therefore we should be very careful to reduce stress, eat
healthy, exercise, rest and play. A balanced and healthy life is a sure way to mastering
it. But what if illness should strike?
Pull back to your center, close your
eyes and breathe. The gentle soothing movement of your breath will do much to
nourish your body and your mind. The body-mind needs oxygen and nourishing
blood flow to support health. Doing yoga poses and breathing will push fresh
blood to your organs, and throughout your body.
So eat healthy, do
yoga and breathe deep! Honor your health. It is the most important thing in
your life. And remember that perfect health is a perfect balance of the energy known
as your body, your mind and your soul.
You are a tri-part being. It would be a mistake to try
and correct one part without addressing the issue as a whole; body, mind and
soul.
“When health is absent wisdom cannot reveal itself, art
cannot manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth is useless, and reason is
powerless.” Herophilies, 300 B.C.
