The physical body is one of the most precious gifts which every human being has been endowed with as a garment and cloak to facilitate conscious experiencing in this part of God’s Creation. Our earth plane is not the original home of the human being. The saying: “life is a school”, comes very handy here to explain this fact.
Man is here on earth to learn, grow and mature so that he can become a conscious Spirit in Creation. The path towards achieving this lies in learning the Will of the Creator; as well as using the abilities and gifts he has been endowed with in Service to God Almighty and to man. In this process, man in turn develops virtues and matures. Attaining maturity in accordance to the Will of God will then enable him to swing harmoniously with the rhythm of life.
To fulfil the aforementioned purpose of human existence on earth, man bears the full responsibility to take care of the physical body entrusted to him so that the spirit, which animates the body, can give expression to itself and anchor its volition. If the physical body is not well taken care of man is likely to experience untold suffering and discomfort in form of various illnesses which may shorten his life span. In accordance with the Laws in Creation, he must bear the consequences of not caring for a gift entrusted to him for his spiritual maturing on earth.
The physical body of each and every human being is closely connected to where he was born and also closely linked to the stars and radiations of the particular region. It is not by accident that man is born in a particular region, and only that region can give exactly what he needs for healthy living. The different herbs, grains, fruits, tubers and vegetables are very beneficial to the body in their own season. Specifically, the body needs such foods as are available each season for that period.
In effect, it is not by accident that human beings are of different colours and races; and in accordance with the Perfect Will of the Most High, each person has been born in the exact region that will best suit his spiritual maturing. This is not to say that one cannot migrate to another region if it so necessary; however, it is important to note that the food from the soil on which each one is born is the best for a proper healthy living. While living in another region, it would be of immense help to visit one’s place of birth from time to time for replenishment.
In addition to proper diet, striking a balance between work and rest, moderate exercise regime, fresh air, visit to “power zones” such as natural parks, beaches, mountains, flower gardens, places where there are trees, etc., are very important in the maintenance of a healthy physical body. They help to replenish the body and positively influence the aura as well.
The emotional and mental well-being of man are also determinant factors in keeping the body healthy. Proper control of our thoughts helps in the overall general health of the body. Negative thinking causes changes in neurotransmitters and hormones, and adversely impacts the health of the heart, immune system, brain, endocrine system, and digestion, and also the person’s overall risk of mortality. Generally, engaging in negative thoughts, words and actions generate negative feedback to the body which affects the body’s general health.
Since by nature the woman nurtures, she has a very important role to play in her home, family and immediate environment in terms of ensuring that proper care of the physical body is maintained. This will aid spiritual progress and development in no little way.
