prevention is the best cure

One of the advantage of having a life of balance or Supreme Balance is prevention. while we are moving toward health and vitality and take action in that direction , we are in fact preventing from future imbalance. Here comes the importance of true healing. Although it sometimes looks like nothing is happening while we are taking action by eating the foods that are designed for our body and keeping our mind clear of clutter of dwelling on negative and follow our heart desire to nourish our soul , we are changing the direction we are moving toward and therefore the destination . We will have more peace of mind and feel more balanced.
Any kind of disease or disharmony in body or mind is the sign that somewhere we are out of balance. In fact there is a saying in Chinese medicine that when the body is sick it is already too late to treat. Since it all happens at the energetic level before it manifests in the body. So waiting to have any problem in the body then start treating or even rebalancing energetically is like start digging a well after you become thirsty. So prevention is the only way to prevent the problem.
There are so many ways to prevent from imbalances. One is Acupuncture that clears the blocks in the body by smoothing the free flow of Qi or vital energy through stimulating the certain point along the meridians. It can also have detoxifying effect by releasing the biochemical to rebalance the body. Medical qi gong is another powerful way to clear the blocked emotions. I recommend one or two rebalancing visits a month to maintain the balance. If it is not possible for you to do it on a regular basis you could do self Acupressure sometimes.
For the mind, practicing mind body exercises like qi gong and tai chi and most important for your soul doing something that brings you joy could be helpful. Find your joy or as Joseph Campbell stated ” follow your bliss” . Make your intention the life of “Balance” and you will be happy since happiness is the result of” Supreme Balance” rather than what you have or do.
love,

This is an excellent topic which most people are too busy to comprehend. The fact that our minds create our circumstances and that our bodies are a result of our thoughts is very powerful. A great introduction to this idea is the movie The Secret, which provides access to this idea, to those who are not open to it as of yet.
I\’ll be following your blog, I enjoyed your post.
