Instrumental Living & Health
A Helping hand
Understanding the problem
Discussions surrounding good health and how to achieve it are everywhere. While some believe a healthy diet or physical exercise is key, others prioritise stressless living or positive environments. These are all, to some degree, correct. The real key to achieving what we understand to be good health, however, isn’t just in the assembly of these practices, but in changing our approach. To be healthy, you must first understand how the body works in its most basic form, energetically, consciously and expressively.
For centuries, even thousands of years, man has responded to health issues with a reactive approach, but the problem with this way of operating is that it’s a thinking methodology. It leads to a ‘try and see’ approach. We can attempt to contemplate or analyse, but without really understanding the problem, we can only try and see if something works, and when it doesn’t, we try again, and so on. The approach ls inconsistent and frustrating, but most importantly, does not include the fundamental principles of instrumental Living practices.


The Solution
For the body to maintain a state of good health, we need to view health from a different perspective. The body is an energy system; a converter, constantly transforming from one state of energy to another. This is important to remember; if one energy state can then transform into another energy state, how we manifest and nurture that first state will affect the next state and so on.
This can be understood through one of your most basic daily tasks. When we eat our body begins to digest, and provided you eat slowly and correctly, the gut will receive the food in a state that it requires to work efficiently. This then makes the transformation of food a productive one, leading to the body happily absorbing the food, giving your blood and then your organs the nutrients they need. Rushed or reactive eating however, influenced by daily stress of busy schedules prevents the body from doing exactly what it needs to do, thereby having an immediate knock-on effect on other parts of the body.
This is just one simple example concerning a small and essential part of your day, but the reality is that most people don’t achieve this first step and then wonder why they experience health-related problems after days, weeks, years of abusing it.
Stop Reactively Steering your body
Being constantly driven by the Personality Mind limits your ability to listen to the very core that gives you your sense of being.
The body repeats
The body is made up of rhythms and cycles, which are largely instigated by our energy system. However, they are also influenced by environmental energies, by how we work / operate and if this is not productive or in line with how the body naturally wants to instigate the rhythm or cycle, then the body will start to generate a stress. When this is continued over a period of time, depending on the stress forming, will then depend on where the health or related illness can occur.
Imagine a photocopier making a copy. This will only be as good as the original if the photocopier is calibrated correctly. If not, then the outcome is a piece of paper that you can barely read. The same concept applies to our bodies.
