Two weeks ago I traveled to our capital, Washington D.C., to attend the Anti-Defamation League’s National Leadership Conference, to do my part to promote peace for Planet Earth.
As I listened to powerful speakers ranging from former General and Secretary of State, Collin Powell, Senator Joe Lieberman, and an explosive Congressman from Florida, Alcee L. Hastings, I became uncomfortably anxious with Earth’s current state of being & the massive amount of work that needs to be done.
Repair for the planet, whether it means bringing about peace in the Middle East, an immediate end to the genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region, or cleaning up our beaches and oceans, is vitally essential.
Concurrently, repair of one’s “self” needs to happen on a daily basis. Being a chiropractor and a practicing yogi, I try to create movement and alignment in all areas of my life to foster a healthy internal environment. Sounds good on paper…right?
So here’s my action plan to help promote peace for your body…..your own planet earth.
Bottom line is, change needs to happen on a cellular level. Therefore, the action plan is centered on providing the essential nutrients required for growth, repair, and transformation.
You can’t go wrong starting out focusing on the food that goes into your body…your personal planet. There’s a great book called, Dr. Mercola’s Total Health Program, that covers all your basic nutritional needs. You can get information about his book by going to the links page on my website and click on Dr. Mercola’s link.
Next, I would focus on moving your body. Movement of the body, especially that of the spine, provides THE most important essential nutrient for brain function. Movement of the spine ignites the cerebellum, which is responsible for COORDINATION of movement, thought, and emotion!
That’s why I get so excited about chiropractic because the latest research shows that the areas in the brain for movement and the areas for thought and emotion are intimately connected. This connection is dependent on movement of the body, and more importantly, the spine. When one doesn’t move, physiological process slow down and the body becomes more susceptible to the effects of gravity, degeneration, and disease. The body becomes weak and the mind dull.
So what I am saying is, “Movement is a huge requirement for global physiology and wellness…so get moving! Do some yoga, run, swim, bicycle!”
So now that you’ve started fueling your cells with healthy ingredients and got them vibrating at an optimal level by moving, controlling the fluctuations of your monkey mind is your next focus.
I like to read positive affirmations. You are what you think. I also enjoy reading spiritual texts to help me live a more moral and peaceful existence. Sitting comfortably while breathing also helps to provide a sense of calm and tranquility. You can read what Yoga master Erich Schiffmann has to say about meditation by going to the links page on my website and click on his website. Then go to Teachings. Then at the top look for Meditation. You can also buy his awesome book Moving into Stillness… one of the best yoga books out there!
Repairing yourself has huge implications for the health of mankind and the planet. Dr. Koch says, “Only when the collective consciousness shifts can we expect a healthy population.” It has to happen one body/mind/spine at a time for the next revolution to take place. Spread the word! It will be good you,your friends, and the planet!
