'Holistic' Vs. Real Living

So, how many of us have had a wake-up call? Say, have two years to live and make a difference? What you do? I believe every time you have a wake-up call, let's say a health scare, it is typically beyond the physical. There is much more to the physical healing (and I must emphasise that it is NOT just holistic healing). Plus, I think the whole holistic living is taken out of context and made so commercial - it's always about this class, that class...

1. Don't enslave your health to the FADs

Please, my friends out there, don't do things for the sake of doing. Just quiet down and breathe. And if you need to have a baseline understanding of your health and overall energetic status, which you need, is to get a scientific analysis; be it a blood test, a hair analysis or electrosomatographic scan; be it physical, mental or spiritual issue.

2. Don't fall victim to needing to fit in

I don't think doing yoga will help you if you are getting 10X the stress of trying to fit in a yoga class into your schedule or having to work another part-time job for your yoga class. Yoga is great is you have the time, money and resources to support it. One of my friends who fret over yoga class, would pull out her hair when it comes to tip-toeing around the kiddo's schedule hen planning for yoga or rushing to and from class. I'm not saying that being disciplined is not important, sometimes, you only have 24hrs a day; you need to prioritise and rethink about what is more important. Sometimes, fitting into the schedule doesn't always mean that it fits your life and you, and don't ever let someone tell you you NEED to do yoga, there shouldn't be a prescribed exercise unless/otherwise stated or instructed by a doctor. Then, observe your teacher, a good teacher (not instructor) is one who lives the guiding principles. If your teacher is less grounder, has more angst, more complaints; you are better off on your own.

If you need a good yoga teacher, I'll be glad to connect you with one.

3. Paradigm Shift

Are you one of those who complain about your job as it is 9-5/OT/24/7? And then spend 20-40% of your expenses on making your life less miserable? Here's a list of comfort indulgences:

- Alcohol / Ciggs

- Clubbing / Pubbing (includes crawling out and puking your guts out)

- Fine-dining

- Retail therapy

Of course, changing a job isn't all that simple but one thing for sure, when there's a will, there's a way. Have an open mind and always have a back-up, a Plan B. If you are spending $200-300 per month (say $50-60 dinners), why not cut down on your expenses, eat simple and look for future retirement opportunities?

4. Feed your brain and be discerning

Always be open, yet discerning. Learn that as much as we are made up of DNA matter (which is only 4.9% of identifiable ordinary matter) there are dark matter-26.8% and dark energy-68.3%. So, even Science has its limitations in disecting the most observable, most 'absolute', factual and logical subject has limitations, let alone in other areas. This brings me back to Point 3; where we should learn that we need to unlearn and relearn some things. These things, may be new to us, but it could have existed for years. These things may be little known to others, but it doesn't mean that it's non-existent or it doesn't work..
