Whole-Self Well-Being
How The Body Clears Energy

Whole-self well-being is, in part, the result of a harmonious flow of energy between our physical and mental selves. When this flow is thrown out of balance for any reason, the body and mind react to one another rather than act cooperatively. Ongoing stress, sadness, anxiety, excitement, and fear can overwhelm the cerebral self, causing traumatic energy to be channeled into the body. The body then responds by taking steps to organically dispel the energy that has burdened it and expressing it by means of physical symptoms such as illness, fatigue, or disease. In some cases, these symptoms can simply be allowed to run their natural course and recovery will come about naturally. In most instances, however, health and wellness can only be restored by a dual course of treatment that acknowledges both the physical manifestations of energy clearing and the underlying emotional causes.

Many of the ailments we experience over the course of our lives can be indicative of the body’s attempts to process intellectual and emotional energy. Swollen glands, for example, can signal that you are going through a period of emotional cleansing. Even something as simple as a pimple can indicate that your body is ridding itself of toxins and old energy. In Chinese medicine, intense emotions are held in the body’s organs as a matter of course. Grief lurks in the lungs, anger inhabits the liver, fretfulness lingers in the heart, worry is held in the stomach, and the kidneys harbor fright. Particular illnesses and symptoms represent the body’s attempts to clear emotional energy. Coughs or bronchitis can signify that the physical self is clearing away grief while a loss of appetite may signal that worry is being actively addressed. \n \n
\nWhen you feel ill or imbalanced, treating your whole self rather than treating the physical self alone can empower you to determine the root cause of sickness. Since you understand that your physical symptoms may be an expression of emotional discomfort, you can establish a balanced treatment regimen to ensure that you quickly recover your good health.\n

Blah

This weekend was pretty nice. We didn’t do too much.

Saturday, we woke up kind of late. Steph went running and I went to Tai Chi where I got some more of “Skewer The Sun”. When I got back, we just kind of hung out and didn’t really do all that much. Steph fell asleep until about 7. We were supposed to go out with some of Steph’s friends, but they decided to go Sunday night instead. We ended up watching “The Fellowship of the Ring”. Steph has never seen it. She liked it… of course.

Sunday, I got up around 10 and practiced outside for about an hour. I woke Steph up at 11 and we went to play racketball. About an hour into it, Steph twisted her ankle so we called it a day. We went back to the apartment, iced and elevated it for a bit, then went to Denny’s to get some breakfast ( I could use some of that right about now… ). We were planning on cleaning the apartment yesterday, but since she hurt her ankle, we stayed in bed = ) and watched the rest of the fellowship.

After that, we went out to Old Navy so that I could use my birthday card money and then to ULTA for her to pick up some make up. When we got back, we got ready and went out to Merkaba over by 35 and Howard Ln. It was a pretty cool place… very new. The only problem that I had with it is that the 1st bartender that we got was somewhat retarded. I’m not sure what his problem was… he seemed like he was just above the cut-off maybe…

Anyway… we left there around 11, came home, and went to sleep.

Needless to say, I am kind of tired today. It’s Monday and it royally sucks. I would rather be almost anywhere else than here…. as denoted by the following picture.



Some good work news…

I just got back from meditation class, then Costco for groceries. I damn near fell asleep in meditation class today. I was having a very hard time focusing.

Anyway… some good news from work. I found out today that since I reviewed a test for WebServices a few months back, I now am R7 App Dev certified as well as certified in WebServices…. and the best part is, I don’t have to take the tests b/c I reviewed them! Sweet…

Time for South Park…

Blech…

Class was pretty good last night… although we didn’t learn anything new in Chen, I was able to help some of my classmates get to where I am so that we can all start learning some new stuff together. I think that we should all be testing for 1st Brown around February, which means that by the end of 2007, I should have my Black Sash.

The new South Park last night was great. I don’t play WoW and now I don’t want to even more.

Other than that, I have no motivation today. All I really want to do is go home and go to sleep… as denoted by the picture below…

Doh!

So I’m driving to work this morning and I was just about to turn into the parking lot for my job and much to my dismay, I spill neon green mint mate down my white shirt. No, this won’t dry and go away…. it’s neon fucking green… so I had to go home and change my shirt… lame…

Today shouldn’t be too bad. Hopefully work will go by quickly so that I can get to class tonight. Hopefully tonight, I will learn some new dagger and chen… that would be nice…
