Health

The word health is usually associated with the absence of physical and mental symptoms. When there is a feeling that everything is working without any discomfort, then it is assumed that the person enjoys excellent health. Perhaps quite often the word health is used limited only to the absence of physical diseases or to normal medical results.

However, health is a concept implying the level of harmony in human existence and activity as a whole. It is not something that is achieved all at once nor something that remains unchanged over time. The first step towards health is prevention and it is essentially the work of a lifetime.

Health is experienced when the mind, emotion and body are harmonized. In other words, when thoughts and feelings are in agreement they are expressed into actions and behaviors as one. This state can be considered as the first level of health, in which internal conflicts, emotional outbursts and mental confusion are absent. An even more substantial level is when a person is led in life by their higher consciousness rather that the lower consciousness of their personality. At this deeper level of health, the need to offer arises strongly and consistently, as it is clear that it is futile for someone to be healthy while everyone around them is sick.

Health is actually a daily task of selfcare. Body care through exercise, natural diet, massages, health check-ups. Mental care through self-knowledge, psychotherapy/psychoanalysis, energy therapies, art. Spiritual care through philosophy, art, meditation. Contact with nature generously provides support to all the above because nature teaches humans to think, feel and act naturally. If one is looking for harmony within themself, they only need to observe the harmony in nature, both in plant and in animal kingdom.

Harmony is inscribed in the cells and therefore is familiar to all. The mind-body works daily to maintain harmony. So, it is a state that one is called upon to remember with the help of nature and other people who manage to maintain it daily.
