Happiness Key: Because the Greatest Relationship is the One We Have with Ourselves...
Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 02:17AM The following is an excerpt from an article published in Twoday Magazine.
To live well and healthily it helps to be in synch with yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually; and I was as out of synch as a body, mind, and soul could get.
Two years ago migraines, heartburn, stomach pains, dizziness, and sleeplessness, were a part of my life. My teeth ached from grinding and jaw clenching and I was suffering from fatigue. I could barely make it through the day. When my heart began to pound for no reason at all and I felt light-headed, I finally went for help.
I was, as my doctor bluntly put it, a “living disaster”, but thank God, I did not have any major illness or heart problems. What I had, she said, were the very visible and real physical effects of unremitting tension.
But, when I asked her what I could do about it, the only answer I got was, “Change your lifestyle!”
She then gave me the name of a holistic yoga instructor.
Wishing the doctor had given me a miracle “feel-better” pill instead, I went to see this person.
After talking with me for about an hour, the yoga teacher told me my spirit was in distress, that my physical self was being poisoned by the tension I allowed into my life.
