What is the most important thing to you?
Hopefully we would answer that it is ‘Life!’
The most important and precious thing we have is life itself, before we can even start to talk about ‘being well and living well’ we need to talk about and appreciate being alive
We need to actually feel and appreciate being alive
So how alive do we feel ? Have we felt more alive than we do now ?
Belonging
Realising where we belong ?
Why is it that we feel life we can’t quite connect to our self ? Our life ? To life itself ?
Maybe we have been living as, living where, we don’t belong !?
Being alive
How do we know we are alive ?
We know we are alive by experiencing life, which for us human beings is not just thinking it, but actually seeing, hearing , smelling, tasting, touching and feeling.
To feel alive we need to ‘come to our senses’ both metaphorically - coming to clarity and awareness, and literally - connecting with our senses, getting in touch with our direct experience not just what we think . Wonder or worry about.
The Runaway Brain
How present do you feel in your life ?
We live exceedingly busy lives and much of life is on automatic, just going through the motions. We often live our life days/weeks ahead of ourselves.
There is a great difference between feeling that our life is full and actually feeling that our life is fulfilled
Physical Injuries
So often physical injuries and psycho-illnesses can relate to a lack of alignment in the body and mind, a lack of harmony and balance in ones life.
Often most clients issues and illnesses in some way relate to not 'living consciously' not being aware and present in their life
Being well
Much of the meaning, joy and worth in our lives - relates to both being well and living well. Being well and living well generates our health and performance and well being in life.
The secret to being well and living well is conscious living ! living mindfully, with awareness, with attention, with attunement, and alignment to the present moment, with an appreciation of our intention as we engage into our ongoing and unfolding life experience, living, learning, and loving more fully into our life
Mindfulness and mental and physical health
Neuroplasticity is the term used when neural connections change in response to experience. Neurogenisis occurs whereby new neurons grow even in adults, enhancing the structure and function of the brain.
MIndfulness practice appears to enhance the neural plasticity and especially strengthen neural connectivity in the left prefrontal cortex of the brain which significantly relates to enhanced psychological well-being and physical health
A Healthy Mind is the greatest gain. Contentment is the greatest wealth. A trustworthy friend is the best of kin. Unconditional freedom is the highest bliss
The Buddha : DHAMMAPADA,V.204
