Harmony of the Body, Mind, and Spirit

Radiant health comes from the harmonious blending of the threefold nature of all human beings; the physical, mental, and spiritual. As conscious beings, we are constantly aware of our physical body, as such, the health of the physical body should be given first consideration, or otherwise it will break down. It is your personal obligation and duty to take good care of your body everyday to prevent diseases and maintain good health. Sensible diet and reasonable exercise will establish a physical condition which is uplifting and deeply satisfying. Harmony of the mind, often called peace of mind, is a deep desire for each of us, including you. Your outlook on life, your emotional responses to daily life experiences, both the good and the bad, your ethical and moral principles, and your understanding of yourself and other people contribute to your degree of personal happiness and joy. Harmony of the mind depends upon the relationship you have to society. If you are at peace with your environment and have established a good relationship with the people in your community and the world at large, you will experience a degree of mental harmony because you will feel that you are fulfilling some useful purposes in life. Once you develop self-confidence and feel you are contributing to society either in your vocation or through your personal endeavors, you will have a sense of worthiness and well-being. If you are well liked by friends and associates and you are willing at times to make a personal sacrifice on their behalf, you will have some sense of satisfaction in the life that you are living. The more you are able to express yourselves in the art, science, music, or other constructive ways, the greater will be your contribution to society, and the greater will be your satisfaction in the giving of yourself. Those in society who have little regard for the welfare or feelings of others cannot experience inner harmony, true happiness, or peace of mind. The highest harmony is realized in your relationship to God or a Higher Power. When you reach a point in life when you attain spiritual awakening, you will begin to love your neighbors as you love yourself, stop hating your enemies, become more forgiving, and avoid harboring malice against fellow human beings, then you will experience a flow of vibratory energy through your whole being which will consequently result in perfect spiritual harmony. This beautiful experience produces harmony with all your senses, bringing not only a spiritual harmony, but also harmony of the mind and body.

Biomagnetism in Health and Disease

The human body is electrical in nature. Several human processes such as the heart and brain functions are based on electrical activity. These activities are accompanied by an electromagnetic field. This human energy field, also known as the aura, is the vital energy in humans and nature’s way of protecting the body from diseases, unpleasant sensations, and harmful radiations from the environment. Electric and magnetic fields generated by cells, tissues, and organs of the body, and even pathologies, are not only useful for diagnoses of diseases, but also are part of the body’s mechanism for communicating with itself and its environment. Each heartbeat, each breath, or emotion generates characteristic electromagnetic fields that travel through the living matrix to remote tissues and cells. While every tissue and organ contributes, the heart produces the strongest electrical and magnetic activity. Even muscle contractions produce electromagnetic pulses. The heart electricity is distributed throughout the body primarily through the circulatory system, which is a good conductor by virtue of its high salt content. Because energy fields are unbounded, the electromagnetic field of the heart extends indefinitely into space. Evidence from modern medical science has shown that energy in the human body does register itself on electrical measuring meters. Electric fields are measured with the help of surface electrodes. In clinical practice, heart electricity is measured by electrocardiogram (ECG) while brain electricity is measured by electroencephalogram (EEG).

Chronic Stress and Your Health

Chronic stress can rob you of radiant health. It is dangerous to your life and detrimental to your general well-being. It is now scientifically established that chronic stress is a health risk and a major contributor to several life-threatening diseases and events, such as heart diseases, stroke, high blood pressure, lung diseases, cirrhosis of the liver, suicides, and accidents. In the United States, the pressure to succeed and live the American dream is a key factor behind the chronic stress experienced by many people in this century. The causes of chronic stress include financial difficulties resulting non-payment of bills, long-term economic hardship due to unemployment, relationship conflicts such as separation from a sexual partner, or divorce and major life changes such as the loss of a loved one. Social issues, especially arguments about personal, political, and religious beliefs can also lead to chronic stress. Living in the ghettos in large crime-ridden cities and unsafe neighborhoods where violence is the norm and most residents worry over their personal safety, combined with feelings of discrimination because of your race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation may also lead to chronic stress. Scientific evidence has shown that the pressure to succeed and live the good life as well as office politics, and the daily pressure and conflict from a job is the major cause of long-term stress for many people. The daily stress of long commute to and from work, personal conflicts at work with your boss and colleagues at work, and spousal abuse may lead to chronic stress if allowed to continue for a long period of time. It is now well-established that chronic stress is a health hazard and plays a significant role in the initiation, development, and progression of chronic diseases and disorders.

Chronic Stress and Your Vibration

Chronic Stress Changes Your Vibe. Chronic stress alters the natural frequency of your vibration. Chronic It weakens your magnetic field (human aura), consequently leading to reduction of energy flowing into your organs, tissues, and cells in the body. Stressful events in life, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, loss of employment or failure in some life endeavors can alter the natural frequency of your vibration, blocks or disrupts energy flow in your body and makes you vulnerable to various disorders and diseases. The frequency at which you constantly vibrate is the embodiment of your whole being. It determines how you think, what you think about, how you talk, what you talk about, what you do on a daily basis, and how you do what you do. Stressful life events can decrease the frequency of your vibration and change your thoughts and actions. For example, vile, bad, ignorant, evil, angry, wicked, jealous, envious, unhappy, unhealthy, depressed, and violent individuals vibrate at a lower frequency than loving, peaceful, good, enlightened, and happy individuals. When you raise your own vibration to a higher level, your body, mind, and spirit will begin to resonate at a higher frequency and you will begin to realize your connection with God, the source of all knowledge, wisdom, and power. Raising your vibration has the benefit of supplying you with the inspiration, intuition, and extra-ordinary power to accomplish things that were seemingly impossible to accomplish. Thus, a higher vibration brings you closer to fulfilling your mission and goals in life.

Disorders Associated with Chronic Stress

Long-term stress has far reaching effects on the overall function of the human body. It can adversely affect the electrical circuit of your nervous system which may result in a nervous breakdown. Many of today’s maladies are attributed to the stresses of modern living. Stress is now considered to be a major threat to the health and happiness of humankind. Chronic stress usually triggers bodily imbalance that may result in physical illness and disorders. Evidence from medical research has proven the complex relationship between stress and illness. Chronic stress is now known to trigger the development of many disorders and diseases, particularly high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, depression, sleeplessness, alcoholism, fatigue, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headache, and sexual dysfunction. Scientists have shown that job-stressed individuals, especially women, have increased cardiovascular risk, compared with less-stressed individuals. Many of these stress-associated disorders are attributed to increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system which is accompanied by increased production and release of stress-related hormones, and neurotransmitters, including cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine and the activities of other chemical messengers that are not yet identified. Signs and symptoms of chronic stress include a general negative outlook, nervousness, poor judgment, agitation and the inability to relax, irritability, excessive worrying, anxiety, fear, and moodiness, physical, mental and emotional aches and pains, sense of isolation, lonely feeling, fatigue, depression, nausea, dizziness, constipation and diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, sleeplessness or sleeping too much, withdrawal from society, neglect of responsibilities or procrastination, and increased cigarette, drug or alcohol consumption.

Breathing and Stress

The primary role of breathing is to absorb oxygen and to expel carbon dioxide through the movement of the lungs. Muscles that control the movement of the lungs are the diaphragm (a sheet of muscle underneath the lungs) and the muscles between the ribs. When a person is under stress, their breathing pattern changes. Typically, an anxious person takes small, shallow breaths, using their shoulders rather than their diaphragm to move air in and out of their lungs. This style of breathing disrupts the balance of gases in the body. Shallow over-breathing, or hyperventilation, can prolong feelings of anxiety by making the physical symptoms of stress worse. The good news is that controlling your breathing can help to improve some of these symptoms including: • Chest tightness • Constant fatigue • Faintness and light-headedness • Feelings of panic • Headaches • Heart palpitations • Insomnia • Muscular aches, twitches or stiffness • Tingling, numb and cold hands and face. Shallow and rapid breathing is a typical part of the stress response, and hyperventilation can prolong anxiety and stress. Stress can be managed and reduced with controlled breathing. You can use abdominal breathing to help control your nervous system and encourage your body to relax, bringing about a range of health benefits. Breathing is an automatic function of the body that is controlled by the respiratory centre of the brain. When we feel stressed, our breathing rate and pattern changes as part of the ‘fight-or-flight response’. Fortunately, we also have the power to deliberately change our own breathing. Scientific studies have shown that controlling your breath can help to manage stress and stress-related conditions. Breath control is also used in practices such as yoga, tai chi and some forms of meditation. Many people use their breathing to help promote relaxation and reduce stress. The types of conditions that controlled breathing might help include: • Anxiety • Asthma • Chronic fatigue syndrome • Chronic pain • High blood pressure • Insomnia • Panic attacks • Some skin conditions, such as eczema • Stress The relaxation response When a person is relaxed, they breathe through their nose in a slow, even and gentle way. Deliberately copying a relaxed breathing pattern seems to calm the nervous system that controls the body’s involuntary functions. Controlled breathing can cause physiological changes that include: • Lowered blood pressure and heart rate • Reduced levels of stress hormones in the blood • Reduced lactic acid build-up in muscle tissue • Balanced levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood • Improved immune system functioning • Increased physical energy • Increased feelings of calm and wellbeing.

Heal Yourself with Medical Meditation

Although it is an overlooked form of therapy in this present high tech age, medical meditation is a good healing technique that attends to the physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of all human beings. It is one of the most effective, and overlooked and non-invasive method of therapy available to all human beings. And it does not cost a dime to meditate! Meditation can prevent and get rid of many diseases and psychological maladies without biopharmaceutical drugs. That’s why the meditative experience is now an important component of many health plans. The practice of meditation is very therapeutic, especially if it is practiced in combination with standard medical care when you are sick, depressed, or down in spirit. Because of its unique ability to elicit physical, mental, and emotional stability, meditation provides the foundation for healing and wellness. Evidence-based practice by clinicians and psychotherapists demonstrates that meditation reduces stress, promotes health, and enhances physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Medical meditation has successfully been used to eliminate and/or manage diabetes, hypertension, migraines, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), psoriasis, chronic pain, and headache. The technique is very useful for the treatment and management of acute and chronic emotional states, such as depression, worry, anxiety, fear, and anger, including a variety of physical ailments. It is now known that each mental state has a physiology associated with it. The effects of each or combinations of mental states whether positive or negative can be felt by the physical body. As an example, the feeling of anxiety can result in abnormal production of stress hormones.
