Nourishing the Mindbody Energy Field
Have you ever had a friend who you didn't know? Sounds like a ridiculous question, doesn't it?
Ok, let's see, have you ever had the experience of having a dear friend in high school or grade school that through the years you lose contact with?
Sure, I think we have all had that experience Lives change, we move to different locales, and our friends and relationships change Right?
Paying Attention or Nourishment
So when we lose track of our dear friends of the past we stop paying attention to them We stop nourishing those relationships due to life circumstances
But there is one part of us, even though our mindbody is changing as well as relationships, which doesn't change Paying attention to that part of us that doesn't change, the soul, is health promoting and can be done with meditation which is paying attention to that timeless presence
The mindbody changes but me, the observer, doesn't change The energy traditions call this observer our soul The energy science medical model has a place for this observer The matter science medical model doesn't It can't due to its limitations as to how it views the physical body, a collection of matter or molecules
The soul is part of our energy field So how else can we nourish our energy field?
Biologic Energy Field Nutrition
I would submit that the broad definition of nourishment is paying attention
Sooo .... paying attention to our energy field is to nourish it, to have a relationship with it
Doing yoga as a practice is a form of nourishment
When we pay attention to how the mindbody feels after doing a yoga pose is nourishment(often there are rushes, tingling that occur after a yoga pose is completed that is the actual movement of the energy field)
Eating foods that bring balance to the mindbody energy field is nourishment for the energy field
Avoiding poor food combining stops distressing the energy field
Paying attention to digestive fire which is an expression of the energy field also brings nourishment to us
Relationships Are Everything
Nurturing relationships is vital to our health I don't think anyone disagrees with that But what we relate to is the issue
If we relate to our mindbody as a collection of molecules, that's what it will be for us
If we want to see and feel ourselves as energy fields, we have to be willing to nourish and cultivate that relationship
Otherwise the energy mindbody is an intellectual curiosity with little significance for us in our day to day lives
The choice will determine our health, believe the unbelievable or not
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
