Experience a New Exercise
How often do we mindlessly do the same thing day after day, night after night, weekend after weekend? Worse yet, how often do we justify our lack of action with “just following the norm” (translation “lowest common denominator”)? It takes a deliberate effort to do something different from the status quo of what our parents, or spouse, or whoever is doing. Thinking back on my life, the times when I felt most inspired and enriched are the times I that followed my heart, not the crowd. I’ve found experiencing something ‘new’ is the most powerful way to heal and bring my health and vitality back to it’s peak.
Self-actualization is perhaps best described as an exercise in new experience consciously chosen for wholistic health and rejuvenation. Without continual growth and improvement there’s stagnation and degeneration, isn’t there? If we do nothing, the quality of our life tends to default to it’s lowest level, and we lose time and energy. We all know it’s easy to get into that rut.
Re-creation rewards us with a ‘trouvaille’ at every turn, however it takes all of our courage, skill, and ingenuity to break from old patterns of behavior. It’s not without obstacles to be transcended and overcome so we can clear the way for right action relevant to a sustainable future according to our internal directive for a healthy mind and body. Next weekend when you find yourself, instead of leading, resigning to the same old, same old … ask yourself, “Is this really juicing my life?”
For help jumping the hurdles, choose to experience a new exercise (free trial for 30 days), refresh and renew in 5 to 15 minutes with pH fitness. Stretch inside and out, restore body pH to normal fast and turn lackadaisical carelessness into self-motivation.
Body’Fit pHx™ gets More Out of Exercise. It’s especially useful if during your workout you haven’t had time to balance VO2max equally in both small and large muscles, to stimulate each of the hormone and neural plexes in the 5 anatomical cavities in the proper sequence, or balance both vascular and lymphatic circulatory systems detoxing all tissues. Achieving sustainable pH balance this fast during exercise is not possible unless you exercise your penchant for new experience.
Enjoyment Frees our Body/Mind
Human beings have a built in survival mechanism… the sensation of pleasure and pain. Culture emerges from our historical experiments to seek ways to improve our enjoyment of life. In many ways such as art, music, and dance we have succeeded, while in other ways we have failed dismally.
That pain and discomfort restricts not only the movement of our body, but of our mind as well, this has been well known since antiquity. We now know when pain goes into the body, the acidic condition results in crystalized deposit of lactic acid which anesthetize nerve endings. The subsequent numbness in our nervous system ultimately impacts the corresponding area of the cerebral cortex reducing our capacity for free thought. This knowledge has unfortunately been used for everything from brain washing to the repression of slaves in an attempt to secure a more pleasant life.
The “no pain (for some), no gain (for others) way of thinking has affected every aspect of our lives. For example, do you live in a region where a synthetic time change occurs twice a year? In the autumn the clocks ‘fall’ back by one hour, and in the spring time jump forward by one hour. Our internal circadian rhythms however are not inclined to follow this pattern. When we lose that hour of time as the clocks ’spring’ forward, we lose an hour of sleep, the deepest and most important hour of sleep. We cannot catch up… simply going to bed earlier doesn’t mean our body is going to want to sleep. This perpetual disruption year after year of our internal clock by manipulation of our external clocks tells it’s tale on our faces, in our health and vitality, in our creativity and productivity, and through the accelerated aging of our bodies.
The pivotal question of our times is how can we thrive as a species despite external pressures that limit our freedom? Many of our problems are so ingrained in our society they seem insurmountable. Yet within the deepest imbalances, lies the key to the solution… enjoyment. We have no control over external events, in fact, the only thing we have control over is our own mind. However the well-being of our mind is limited by the health of our body. Seek to find enjoyment through health and well being, and free both body and mind.
Freedom to Eat Healthy is at Risk
A specific alkaline balance of electrically charged ions (electrolytes) is the natural pre-condition for optimal health and function. As long as we match every cell’s nutritional requirement with uptake and circulation of all the proper electrolytes, our body takes care of us doesn’t it? We don’t need drugs or chemo-therapy, we don’t need radiation or acidification with unnatural substances… we just need what nature provides freely and (unlike our economic system) abundantly.
Understandably our debt-based money supply predicates the subsequent struggle to control availability of food (and all our resources) and puts our freedom of choice constantly at risk. Here’s a typical case in point: the Strauss Herb Company in court over the sale of a dietary supplement they produce containing ‘Yohimbe bark‘.
- Health Canada’s Position: If a laboratory can extract or obtain a component that can be a prescription drug from a plant, the whole plant itself can be classified as a prescription drug.
- What plants contain prescription drugs? Some popular ones are black tea, green tea, cocoa, gotu kola, coffee beans, celery, lettuce, potatoes, spinach, and yes ‘Yohimbe bark. Technically a prescription drug can be derived from every plant.
- Why oppose this position? Health Canada can stop the sale of any product made from any plant. If they deem a plant contains a prescription drug, all Health Canada needs to do is send a fax to the manufacturer to stop the sale of the product. You will not find ‘Yohimbe bark’ on the list of pharmaceutical drugs, yet a fax was received by Strauss Herb Company telling them to stop the sale of their dietary supplement containing ‘Yohimbe bark. Furthermore, because all or any natural ingredient can potentially be a prescription drug, it’s not possible for the natural health industry to make an intelligent decision on which ingredients they would like to include in their products.
- Health Canada needs a way to classify prescription drugs. No disagreement there, in fact the process exists. It is a parliamentary process. Health Canada did not follow the process, instead they simply decided on their own to by-pass the legal requirements necessary, and declared ‘Yohimbe bark’ a prescription drug. (Risk was not the problem, ‘Yohimbe bark’ is a very popular herb and sold every day in the USA without reported adverse reactions.) If it was life-threatening (like a pharmaceutical drug) that would be different.
- The court’s current decision: Health Canada may continue, at will, to classify any plant as a drug. (Since the Crown determines our legal foundation, the court is in a position to assume that as an arm of the Crown, Health Canada is on the side of justice.)
- Position of Strauss Herb Company: Protection of our self-evident right to freely choose the food we want to eat, and therefore the protection of democratic access to the safe and effective products that we as consumers have come to rely on for our health and well-being.
So it’s come down to this… our debt-based monetary system which necessitates a fight for control (see Bill C-6) over the very electrolytes that feed our body and spirit, is threatening our highest inalienable need as human beings… democratic freedom. Logically, this can only come from reasoning that matches the reality of who we are physically, emotionally and mentally within whole cycles. It’s not logical to legally exclude a raw material from all other uses because of a technically possibility of the raw material.
What can you do? Start with yourself by respecting the flow and distribution of electrolytes in your own body; eat a wide variety of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. In the economy of nature, there’s no more and no less diversity than needed to sustain health and well being for all of us throughout our entire lifespan. Needless to say, nobody is in a better position to know our own body than ourselves… in fact it’s all we really have, isn’t it? Listen attentively to what your intuition is telling you, get an adequate sleep, exercise, and supply of a wide variety of nutrients produced naturally by the earth for us to consume.
Also support your heart and circulatory system to deliver the electrolytes deep into the body. The moment you wake up, apply cold water to the skin in the proper sequence to the skin in the proper sequence (so as not to shock the body) snuggled up under the covers. This allows electrolytes that have sunk into the deep organs during the night to surface so getting out of bed doesn’t stress the cardiovascular system. According to Chinese medicine the circulation of blood follows the flow of electrolytes, stimulating optimal cellular metabolism when body pH is balanced and alkaline.
The cold water prepares the body to get the most out of morning exercise… not just any exercise (which robs the organs to give to the muscles)…pH fitness exercise designed to balance circulation between deep organs and muscles. Body’Fit pH Fitness™ exercise (short form…pHx™). It’s observed that pHx returns body pH (cellular electrolyte balance) to normal as fast as possible after an acidic workout to get More Out of Exercise™. Before long you notice your clothes fit differently, and you have energy, inspiration and will power to ensure your freedom to eat healthy.
p.S. Good time to listen to Santana Supernatural on iTunes, “Freedom, don’t you want freedom for your children, don’t you want freedom for every body?”
