The more sad things I see happening around me, the more important I see that having a faith based life can be the game changer, I don't mean political faith, I mean a gentle cleansing of the soul and time for reflection and gratitude. A time to realize that you can't do this life by yourself, and getting your satisfaction from a bottle, or food or shopping or whatever fills that void is not going to get it done for you. Empty needs to be filled.
A wonderful Indian lady is going to help me with some Yoga practice, a way to calm my mind, breath and reflect.
Now before anybody worries that that takes away from some Christian prayer, or whatever some people might say, I have read a book called, * PRAYER OF HEART AND BODY Meditation and Yoga as Christian Spiritual practice* BY Thomas Ryan.
We are being exposed to so much noise and over stimulation that I think we forget that its O.K to be quiet sometimes. I take time out everyday to light a candle, pray, read the bible, if I am having a bad day I try to name five good things that happened, or five things I am grateful for. I hope some people don't see that as trite. Good health involves so many facets of living, and having a strong mind is essential to overcoming so many barriers to your progress.
I do have trouble calming my thoughts down, But I think it's so important to learn how to focus, I think that's why I have failed at my health, and doing some other things that could have benefited me. If you are sick it is hard to be of a strong mindset.
I want to learn how to face life calmly and not to freak out when the challenges occur, I want peace in a challenging world.
I also believe that the gentle stretches in Yoga could help me with my pain, and my friend say's it can help aide digestion and other functions. I will write about how this works out for me, Thanks for checking in and I hope you have a joyful day. Mrs Cook
