Relishing in the moment, in the present, allows us to focus on the energy at hand. If we are believers or if we are open to eastern medicine, we may recognize how living in the present can have a positive effect on our organs. Similarly, any imbalance in our energy flow can be a result of our emotions that may result in a depletion in our energy, our chi, our own flow. There is no separation of our physical selves and our emotions. Yet western medicine encourages us to see a therapist for our heads and someone else for any physical ailments. Why the separation? We cannot separate our physical and mental well-being. It is whole and uniquely ours, with our own "blueprint" so-to-speak. This reflects in the iris of our eye and our thumbprints. Our spirits and mental interpretations when it comes to living are no different.
Is it any surprise that while one form of western treatment may work for one test group it does not work for another? Are there long-term studies you can review to make careful decisions when it comes to practicing good health? Or are you relying on the latest potion, lotion or contraption to heal you?
What type of impact occurs to our bodies and our spirits from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat, the careers we choose, and the people that surround us? We are all unique and should be treated as such.
Could your feelings from long ago surface and be exacerbated into an illness? Some believe if you supress anger it can lead to trouble with your liver. Another thought is if you do not release your sadness or grief through tears, it can place undue stress on the lungs. Could this grief and perhaps repeatedly conditioning to repress it have an effect on our emotions? Could people try to "numb" the emotion through overindulgence of alcohol, drugs, tobacco?
Could people perhaps incorrectly channel their emotions...when they want to cry for being denied a raise, a woman learns to choose the wrong emotion and become angry instead? Could a boy who is rejected and saddened as a youth grow up to drink, smoke, or gamble?

Growing and challenging ourselves through being present is one way to help alleviate some of these buried emotions that may be present within us. Do you know who you are? Or are you pretending to be someone you are really not? Have you always wanted to be an artist but were persuaded long ago, for one reason or another to be an engineer? Do you stay in your career for the money or the recognition or perhaps the lifestyle you have become accustomed to living, while not your truest desire that would enrich your soul? Who we are matters underneath it all. If we are afraid to know ourselves, what holes are in our spirits as well as our bodies?
Begin to heal today. Live in the present. Recognize our feelings and those of others and express loving kindness. This will enrich our presence day by day, moment by moment.
Following five element theory and learning how your own energy peaks and flows throughout the day could help. Running, doing yoga, or working out might be best done in the evening, when your kidney energy is peaking, say from 5-7 pm.
Being aware of your own self and relying on your intuition is key in beginning or continuing your own transformation...your own healing. Accept yourself and others around you as the world is filled with such wonder, light and life. What comes with self-acceptance and love is a rich guide to a fulfilling life.
Carpe diem!
