HEALTH

The word health comes from the word whole. When our body, our mind, our emotion, our energies are in tune with each other and we feel wholesome within ourself, that is when we feel healthy.

Eating the proper foods is an important step in living a healthy and vital life. 

There are two kinds of ailments: infectious and chronic. Infectious ailments happen because of an external invasion. You must go to the doctor. Don’t meditate on it! But 70% of ailments on the planet are self-created. Self - created is because it happened from within Us.

This body is essentially programmed for health. So why would it turn against Us ? Because somewhere, we are not keeping it happy. We must pay a little more attention. There is a systematic way of paying attention to this, because everything in this body was created from within. When that is so, we can also easily fix it from within.

For the things we create from within, running to the doctor is of no use. The medical profession can only help us manage chronic ailments, they can never rid you of them. When we are creating it, how can they rid us of it? 

Every day, they will put more chemicals into Us but every day we will doggedly create more disease within Ourself. Unless we change that basic pattern, health will not happen.

When it comes to a chronic ailment, the root cause for it is always on the energy level. As we have a physical body, We also have an energy body or Pranamayakosha. This is the energy infrastructure over which the physical substance comes together as a human body. If our energy body is disturbed – whether because of the atmospheres we live in, the food we eat, the relationships we hold or because of Our emotions, attitudes, thoughts and opinions – this naturally manifests physiologically and psychologically.

The basic premise in yoga is that if Our energy body is in full flow and properly balanced, there can be no chronic disease. If we are willing to do a certain amount of sadhana to balance and activate Our energy body, one can definitely be free of all chronic ailments. Yoga is a means to build a pathway to the manufacturer so that health is not your business, it is his business.
