" A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers."

Observe Your Mind And Question Your Thoughts …

With the mind you must become its observer. You must watch and take note of thoughts and emotions as they come into your brain.

Objectively start to judge them and the responses they create throughout you and your entire body. For example, are they making you feel physically tense, shaky, tired or weak?

Are these thoughts even genuine and appropriate reactions for the situation you are in? Or are they just automatic repetitive responses coming from what your subconscious has been conditioned to believe (from past experiences or from the influences of other people, society, media and television).

Unfortunately, so much of our state of mind is no longer our natural behaviour. It is constantly manipulated and abused by today's world. Social media, television and many of the people in charge seem to be leading us in very wrong directions.

"Each morning we are born again.
What we do today is what matters most."

Sleep is absolutely crucial for a number of reasons…

1) Western scientific studies have shown that tumours can grow 2 to 3 times faster in animals that are deprived of sleep. Other studies have shown that people who get short amounts of sleep, disturbed sleep or who work night shifts (when the body should be at rest), all had considerably higher risks of developing cancers in comparison to those who get reasonably healthy amounts of sleep.

"When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.
But if you listen,
you may learn something new."

Prevention Versus Treatment.
 
The vast majority of money spent in Western Medicine is not on "health care" but instead on disease care.

Money is spent on creating profitable new drugs and new technologies and treatments, rather than on non-profit making education and prevention.
 
Thus in today's society most people are being falsely lulled by the western medical industry into a fake sense of security with dreams of magic pills and futuristic machines and computer chips, which will supposedly manage and enhance their bodies without any effort from themselves.

Maybe at some time in the far distant future this might be a possibility. But current technology is nowhere even close to accomplishing this.

The human body and its interactions with the natural world which we live in are vastly complex. They are currently well beyond what science is capable of manipulating in any meaningful way.

Instead, the reality is that even with so called advancements in science, we as a people are not becoming healthier but are actually suffering from more illnesses and diseases than at any other time in our current modern history.

For the last twenty years, nearly every type of major illness has increased. And for the last four years, the average lifespan in both the USA and in England has actually declined. We are now not just dying younger, but we are also suffering from more health problems, not just in older age, but all the way throughout our lives as well ...
