Optimum Success In MotionOptimum health and functioning in any realm of our lives involves unimpeded or unobstructed flow plus transformation. Whether it’s in Body Modality, Mind, Emotions, Spirit/Energy, or Overarch/Social Ecosystem, any blockage gives rise to illness and disease.
If we take body as our main example, and easiest one to illustrate, it’s quite clear that idea of unobstructed flow applies. The body’s elimination channels must always be un- obstructed to allow for removal of toxins, free radicals, and waste. Any blockage in elimination systems, whether in intestines, bowels, skin, results in illness and disease. If there is a blockage in our arteries or veins, we risk suffering from stroke, heart attack, aneurisms, and possibility of death. So, in order to maintain Optimum health in body, all elimination channels absolutely must be flowing smoothly without obstruction so that what comes in, can be transformed, and sent back out.
When we apply same concept to Modality of Emotions, whatever comes in must go back out transformed. When an emotion comes into systems of Self, it cannot set up shop. If it gets stuck, it creates illness and disease and begins to have a domino effect on all other Modalities. If anger enters systems of Self and is not transformed and sent back out into world, it “eats away” at you. It literally acts like acid to corrode systems of Self from inside out. The same is true for other health-eroding emotions, especially if they are chronic. Chronic stress is by far, leading culprit in our current, hectic, and fast-paced North American culture.
In Modality of Mind, our thoughts must also be in con- tinuous motion. Our thoughts originate within our brains and create beliefs. They are precursor to action and germ from which all of our actions are made manifest in this world. Our thoughts are beginning of our actions. If our thoughts get in way of our actions and cause an obstruction in that natural flow of energy-thought-action cycle, we are again faced with dis/ease. We become prisoners of those thoughts and victims of our own undoing. We literally get in our own way. Thought must be transformed into action, or a spiritual and emotional paralysis occurs. When this happens, body falls ill, and all of systems are fundamentally impacted.
In Spirit/Energy Modality, principle of flow is par- ticularly important. Much in same way that Body’s systems must be smoothly transforming and eliminating; so too, must energy systems of body. The Chi energy in Eastern Medicine and Chakra centers of Ayurvedic system all are about unobstructed flow of energy. Wherever there is blockage, there is illness and disease. And, since body is physical manifestation of what is unseen, or intangible to us, such an obstruction always shows up in body.
