Makia ai soki soshi
Never to the detriment of one’s self care..
Whatever it is you plan to undertake – be it small or large – self care comes first and foremost. This is care of the body, the mind and the spirit.
Body – fresh air and healthy eating, of course, are key. Also, cleanliness, daily cleanliness, exercise, daily exercise and attention to the small details of the body.
Keeping the body healthy ensures the spirit has a temple in which to reside, for as long as you are on earth, you are asked to pursue your spiritual path and this cannot be done if the body it not in perfect shape. That said, it is important that you do not linger over painful spots or perseverate on ills. Give these sensations none of your energy and you will see how quickly they dissipate. Trauma and memories can be stored in the body so it is important to release that which is being held within. This can be done with the help of a healer – energy healer – and with the practice of meditation. Should a healer be engaged for help, inquire as to the methods used. A key aspect of healing from stored emotions is Release and Forgiveness. If the healing modality you find does not incorporate these components, ensure you find a way to Release and Forgive. Forgive self and others. And RELEASE. Fill the space once home to the pain or sickness with light. Then go forward into your day with your mind free from all pain and discomfort. In this way, you give them no energy upon which to feed themselves.
Do not be misled. We are not saying to ignore aches and pains. Rather, we are encouraging a practice of healing from within. Medications can often soften the pain, but also often masks the cause – thus the ailment is never eliminated from the body.
Focus on the ailment nurtures the ailment. Focus on health, gratitude for health, nurtures a healthy body…and mind…and soul. Do your best in this regard.
