Holistic HealthFoundational Role Of Health In LifeWelcome to Holistic Health - Everyone feel the necessity of wellbeing in our lives. But we have never pondered why health possess such an central position. Usually we become aware of the state of well being when we have some ache or disease or pain. Otherwise we take it granted. We can see that a terminally ill patient even after knowing that he has only some days to live, harbors the desire to live. Nobody desires to die. So come and relate to the proactive nature within us. Find the four human endowments and how we can use them in four aspirations of all human being. Find the balanced use of these four aspirations to leas a holistic life with holistic health. The Proactive And Non-Proactive Nature:Man is classified as the proactive being in Vedas and all the other species are put under the non-proactive species. The Non-proactive nature is there because all the other species are living just to reap the effects of their past lives. They are not given the free choice of thoughts, will and action as are given to man. Whatever the activities or learned habits we observe in animals are either due to their instincts or as a result of mechanical learning or reflex. That is why human form is considered auspicious because it has the potential to rise above and evolve his consciousness to the fullest level. Taking human form is the previledge of the soul. Human being has the central endowments like Self-awareness, Conscience, Independent will and Creative imagination. We have these special gifts and the power to execute them. With those endowments we can break the conditioning of all kinds and act out of free choice. These endowments are recognized and used by all the motivational leaders and speakers. They have been used and described appropriately in Modern time by Stephen R. Covey - the author of 'The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People'. The Four Dimensions In Which We Can Exercise Four Endowment Of Our Proactive Nature:If we classify all the activities, we find that we have four kinds of aspirations. In the direction of these aspirations we channelize our physical, mental, social, moral and spiritual activities. These are as follows:
The Balancing Of These Four Pursuits For Holistic Health:Someone said it in a better way as 'Let the bird of human being fly toward the goal of emancipation with the two wings of Dharma and Artha while enjoying Kama.' We should lead our lives enjoying the sense pleasures in a way that is governed by righteous and moral principles and is balanced by economic pursuits and it should be able to lead our lives to the ultimate freedom. This is so fantastic that nothing is left to add. Holistic Health Is The Foundation To Effectively Pursue These Four Aspiration Of Life:Yes, We need health in our lives because having good health is the foundation for achieving and following any or all of the four aspirations. That is why I like to conclude this article with another quote from Charaka Samhita. 'Give priority to the health of your body above every other activities because every other activity in life depends upon your health.' Please give some serious thoughts to the above material and you will find it to be echoing in yourself. Everything is simply self-evident. Explore holistic health, live life holistic, enjoy the holistic nature.
