Once we have healing habits, it's easy. Until then, a planned and deliberate framework for healthy living can make an unbelievable difference in our well-being. That framework is going to look different for everyone.
One key thing: our health regimens should be easy, relaxed and joyful. Otherwise, it's just not going to happen. Sure, there's some work involved. But we have to be gentle with ourselves, and forgiving as well.
There are five main areas where we can set healthy intentions that will serve us and our loved ones:
Pain, Blockage, Flow: Energy Cultivation for the Suffering of the Body
Fasting
There is a saying; "Most people dig their graves with their spoons." And they are not using little tiny teaspoons, either.
We are blessed to be a society of great abundance. In the case of diet, that abundance can overwhelm the body. Flooded with rich foods day after day, the body struggles valiantly to process it all. Sooner or later, the body falls behind. Byproducts build up, and this triggers inflammation. Then all the chronic degenerative diseases of our civilization set in.
Addiction to Looking
Half of all our sensory nerves run from the eyes to the brain. No wonder, then, that we can become addicted to looking.
Digital technology is new and powerful. It's going to take time for our nervous systems to adjust. Meanwhile, we need to set some boundaries before it ruins our sanity and our health.
Many live with eyes glued to cellphones and computers…

After more than forty years in the healing arts, I have some things to say. So I retired from clinic and started to teach.
Getting and staying healthy is a lifelong cultivation. I would like to plunge in with some key points, since many of you who read this will be carried away on the digital winds, clicking onward before going deeper.
