Holistic Health

I have what I gather are the typical muscular and joint aches and pains of a seventy year old man along with some additional pains due to my disability and past abuses. These problems are largely physical and often accompanied by inflammation and swelling. These problems though largely physically caused, are influenced by conscious and unconscious emotions — particularly their rate of healing. When I have some sort of ache or pain I generally join with it through meditation, ask what it has to tell me and proceed accordingly. The process helps my sense of well-being. "When the diverse living energies of the human system are harmonized, the present bloody face of the world will be transformed into an image of the face of God." (A.B. Schmookler)
