Restoring The Mind-Body Balance

[PiyaSoni]

*Restoring The Mind-Body Balance*
*::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::*

*Many people are under the impression that the focus of spirituality is only
on the mind and the soul, and the physical body is neglected.*

*But that’s not true. Our physical body is essential to our life and the art
of living. It is our vehicle and our home.*

*An appropriate balance of diet, sleep, relaxation and exercise is important
 for the body.*

*However, when we enter the world of spirituality, the main emphasis is
 on the mind and the soul.*

*This does not mean that we do not value or take care of our body.
Without a healthy body, we would not be able to express ourselves
mentally or spiritually.*

*Spiritual progress, which includes the listening/studying and imbibing
 of spiritual knowledge, the practice of meditation, the inculcation of divine
virtues and the spiritual service of others through different means is much
 easier and better with a healthy body.*


*Unfortunately, though, we have lost the art or wisdom of balance and for
 very long we have placed too much emphasis on our physical form, the
 body; and less emphasis on our spiritual form, the soul, as a result, reducing
 our spiritual awareness.*

*One of the aims of spirituality is to restore this balance between mind and
body so that we can experience well-being and happiness at every level.*

*So while our body and our physical energy are essential, the focus of
 spirituality is on the mind and the soul, to help regain the balance.*
