Your body is an organic vehicle for your Spirit on this Earth. It is designed for you to experience life and express your higher self. How much time you have to express your higher self depends on how balanced your body and mind are, which is largely influenced by your level of security
The Wholistic Health Path provides you with a roadmap to rebalancing your body systems and improving your innate Healing Capacity. When your body is balanced, your mind is clear, which improves your ability to process information coming from within yourself and your environment via your senses.
Whether you are being mindful or functioning on auto-pilot, your Mind utilizes your established thoughts and behaviors based on your “lens maker,” your mindset, and your perception, the lens that you look through.
Your mindset shapes your perception, while your perception reinforces your mindset.
To feel secure you must first have your most primal human needs met: shelter, food and water.
When these basic needs are met, your nervous system can operate in parasympathetic mode – your energy will focus on digestion, rest, repair, or procreating, and you can utilize your strengths and function at the level of the Spirit.
| WHEN SECURE | SPIRIT |
| Strong, flexible, generous, direct, idealistic, driven, assertive, outgoing | Life purpose, vision, planning, direction, benevolence |
| Happy, fun, charismatic, optimistic, social | Consciousness, awareness, presence, insight |
| Patient, nurturing, supportive, thoughtful, practical, selfless, kind, trustworthy | Intellect, thought, concentration, trustworthy |
| Courageous, persistent, determined, minimalist, organized, self-reliant | Instinct, physical embodiment, righteousness |
| Calm, objective, reflective | Willpower, ambition, wisdom |
If your feel insecure, your nervous system will operate in sympathetic mode, providing you with the energy to get back to a safe place.
What often makes a person insecure is negative perceptions and/or mindset. This shifts you out of parasympathetic tone and into sympathetic tone, triggering your defensive energy and stagnating your Qi.
| WHEN INSECURE | PRESENTATION |
| Angry, insensitive, frustrated, irritable, impatient, resentful | Frequent sighing Rib-side pain Upper abdominal pain Hiccups, belching Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea PMS symptoms – breast distention, irritability Irregular period Painful periods |
| Sad, lonely, depressed, anxious, over-excited | Mental restlessness Dream-disturbed sleep Palpitations Shortness of breath on exertion Easily startled |
| Worry, pensive, selfish, over-protective, no boundaries | Poor appetite Nausea, vomiting, belching, and/or hiccups Loose stools Fatigue |
| Rigid, jealous, grief, guilt, forceful, controlling, can’t let go, perfectionist | Fatigue Prone to colds or respiratory illness Sweats easily |
| Fearful, indecisive, foolish, misguided, irrational | Fatigue Difficulty taking a deep breath Frequent urination Poor endurance |
In addition to Reducing Conflict by improving your communication skills with others, you can also improve your self-talk – your internal dialogue.
Is your self-talk neutral, supportive, or destructive?
Versus:
If you catch yourself having negative thoughts, ask yourself – is this true? Would I say this someone I care about?
Reframe it!
Another path to function at the level of the Spirit is through internal practice (mindfulness, meditation, breath work).
By using your intention to rhythmically follow your breath down to your lower dantien (lower abdomen), then back out through your mouth, you course your energy through the microcosm within your body. With practice, you can scan your body for blockages and work through them physically and energetically. You can send your body’s energy to spots that need nourishment (spots that want stimulation such as pressure and heat), or you can store the energy you build into your lower dantien, building your Postnatal Jing and protecting you Vitality.
