I\u2019d been following many of the spiritual teachers featured in the film: Marianne Williamson, Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton & Michael Bernard Beckwith so their health wisdom felt like common sense.<\/p>\n
Having the science intelligence that comes with being raised in a medical family had me appreciate one side of health: data from objective evidence.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s another side of being healthy in mind, body, soul with spirity: our experiences. It comes from what\u2019s inside when we allow our natural immunity to work and our body to heal itself.<\/p>\n
Our health includes a spiritual foundation, which is determined by our mind (free will) and what we choose to believe on both sides!<\/p>\n
How Stress Affects Your Being Healthy in Mind, Body and Soul<\/h3>\n
I don\u2019t suffer from stress because of the practical information I had, but also because I learned the spiritual tools on how to trust, surrender and let go.<\/p>\n
We need both science and spirituality for optimum health.<\/p>\n

I used to think stress was normal. \u00a0I\u2019d even hear stress is good and necessary for you.<\/p>\n
Kind of like guilt is good for you.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a lie.<\/p>\n
Of course we feel disappointed and sad at times. Angry and upset for sure.<\/p>\n
But stressed or guilt-ridden? These are spiritual problems.<\/p>\n
I believe a lot of us have accepted stress is part of life.<\/p>\n
We get what we expect and create what we tolerate.<\/p>\n
You stop experiencing stress or worry after you\u2019ve been willing to face and heal your wounds while applying spiritual practices into your life. That\u2019s what directly affects your emotional, mental and physical health.<\/p>\n
Stress has the greatest impact on your physical health. It\u2019s \u201cun-peaceful\u201d in our internal network that throws all our energies out of balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n We create stress in the ways we see, hear and react, so we can also uncreate it.<\/p>\n Learning how to come back to centre amidst any chaos is a game changer.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to get a spiritual practice going when you\u2019re suffering from headaches, lack of sleep, constant distraction and flying by the seat of your pants!<\/p>\n It\u2019s why so many are reliant and believe in external \u201cbandaids or pills\u201d that are not sustainable for being healthy in mind, body, soul with spirit in the long run. There\u2019s quiet spaces you have to be willing to carve out because that\u2019s where your creativity lives.<\/p>\n The \u201ceasy fast button\u201d, which dominates how we approach physical health is short-term gain for long-term pain.<\/p>\n Our emotional, and mental health too. Think of how we reach for alcohol, eating or shopping when we\u2019re feeling emotionally down or working long hours wanting to take the edge off.<\/p>\n If\u00a0alcohol, eating or shopping are your \u201cpick me ups\u201d \u2013 they are bringing you down in the long run.<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe you\u2019re telling yourself \u201cI deserve a treat\u201d, but be mindful here. It can be a well-deserved gift for self-care, but if a choice takes you away from your higher health, you\u2019ve moving away from your centre.<\/p>\n Every choice emotionally either raises you up or brings you down and accumulates over time. \u00a0Your life experience will tell you which way you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n Entertainment and even fitness can be an unhealthy mental distraction if it means you\u2019re running from deeper pain or exhausted from your existing turmoil.<\/p>\n I watched the Heal trailer recently and didn\u2019t realize Anthony William \u2013 the Medical Medium \u2013 was in that documentary!<\/em><\/p>\n His work was a seed I\u2019m ready to water this year.<\/p>\n Seeing so many suffering from illnesses, disease, and now a rampant fear around a virus that\u2019s managed to turn our world upside down feels like a clarion call towards our whole health.<\/p>\n Your spiritual health is the undercurrent that flows into the other 3 areas of health: mental, emotional and physical.<\/p>\n I was here at one time stuck in the Mutiny of my Soul and I pushed through to the other side.<\/p>\nDiscovering Your Seeds<\/h4>\n
