Where does health begin? Health begins when we remember who we are and how we are naturally designed as human beings to be part of a whole and holy connection with all creaturely life. Through this connection, we are re-membered, encouraged, inspired, nourished, and healed by the gifts we receive and give.
To truly understand health, we must create the space for real-life breathing, listening, asking, looking, and touching relationships. This will help us recover truth, revive love, and keep returning to the basics of caring for our spirits, hearts, minds, and bodies. Health is not something we can achieve as a result of our individual actions. Instead, health is nourished when we live in a community where we receive and give, empty out and fill up, ebb and flow.
We can strengthen our health daily by being present and opening our hands, hearts, spirits, minds, and bodies to life in all its forms and manifestations. Health restoration does not begin with food. It starts with knowing who we are and how we are naturally designed to be healthy, whole, and holy human beings.
Together, we can strengthen our health by being present in the present moment to each other and being willing, ready, and practiced to nurture our connection with life. Doing so allows us to experience hope, joy, love, truth, feelings, thoughts, sounds, colors, shapes, smells, tastes, and sights- enabling us to experience life's fullness.
I invite you to join me for a different conversation about what it means to be healthy.
