connects everything to everything else.
We are now at a crossroads where this ancient wisdom is becoming more mainstream. Leaders in science are discovering that we are far more complex than biochemical machines. We are senders and receivers of energy as information, which influences our health far beyond our conscious awareness.
Our modern medical system uses a reductionist view to the body in wellness and illness. This means that our bodies are viewed as separate organs and systems with distinct functions. Wellness is the proper functioning of these separate systems; illness is when one or more parts are dysfunctional. The fundamental flaw of this viewpoint is that by dividing the body up, it misses the crucial governing system. Each of us is innately aware that we are more than a collection of cells and biochemical reactions. Our energy system is the missing essence of our current medical model; that which makes us tick. It is the governing system within each of us and connects us to all other forms of life.
Real change can be made by examining and altering influences on our health, both external and internal. Externally, we are influenced by the attitudes and beliefs of our health care practitioner, media, school, work, friends and family.
Internally, we can adjust our limiting beliefs. Step out of self and listen carefully to what you are telling yourself. Are you your own worst critic? Do you judge yourself more harshly than you would anyone else? Are you less forgiving of yourself than you would be of anyone else? Negative self-talk can be changed. We can all modify our perception of our environment.
