What Are You Afraid Of

"For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. "
Yoda- Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back


So I was sitting around today thinking what could I post as my first substantial post. I didn't want it to be anything "blah blah". So I'm gonna go with the Holisitic Lifestyle...something that is apart of me...one of my allies in life.

In plan english, holisitic is basically healing and maintaining the body mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually using natural techniques.

Whenever I explain this lifestyle to most folks they frown up or turn their head away in fear, mainly because they do not understand. So I am always sure to tell them one thing...ever since I have been living this lifestyle, I have not been ill once.

I was listening to the Mike Baisden radio show the other day and they were talking about healthy eating. Folks on there could not grasp the concept of giving up kraft cheese, meat, unnecessary sauces, and salt. All I was thinking is, "you do not realize that food is killing you slowly."

And in my ever running mind I think of what some folks who are just against change would say, "You only live once" or "We're all gonna die some day". If those aren't the craziest ideas to justify ignorance, I don't know what is, lol. Listen, if you are going to say something like that make sure it is relevant to the conversation at hand. There is more to life than eating. Real foods (organic) taste a lot better than mass produced foods (grocery store/slaughter house); and organic foods has life.

So what exactly does this holisitc lifestyle entail...well its simple. Keep the b.s. foods out of your body (farmed raised meats, processed foods), get away from the tv and go take up some physical activity that doesn't stress the body (like yoga, bicycling, etc), stay away from those pharmaceutical medicines (they don't cure any illness, they just minimize the symptoms while the illness is still there), eat organic foods, interact with your fellow man face-to-face instead of using all this radiation filled technology, use natural remedies, meditate, and most importantly remember don't take anything in life personally.
