“It is right to feel good about, and safe in, your body-mind. In fact, body-mind health and wellness are essential for overall success in your Yoga practice since they support you to maintain optimal balance in/with your inner and outer environment, and further help you to develop the necessary energetic focus required to make efforts toward the purification/higher awareness that you need for Liberation. Remember please that you “live” in your body-mind while manifested as a human-being, and disease (dis-ease) is an obstacle on the inward path, upon which health is a wide (but simultaneously specific) spectrum of physical expressions (since no two body-minds are the same, and even the “same” body changes from moment to moment, and certainly with age and over time). Health can (and probably should) look different for/on you at varying stages in your life depending on what is going on in your life/environment.
-Kidecia King
When working with your body-mind, your aim should primarily be to create and maintain a healthy spectrum of balance (as is required by/within you at any given point based on your intended purpose of Liberation–and not simply based on social posturing). No chart, graph, nor “model” should ever override your inner knowing of what is, and feels right and healthy within/for you for this intended purpose. And no amount of body-mind pride, shame, delusion, nor insecurity will ever serve you as well as having a solid, non-judgmental, understanding of your physical vessel and the ability/knowledge of how to operate, heal it, and maintain it well for higher spiritual purposes. Your body-mind evolved with, and in, this Universe to stay alive by adapting to changing environments and circumstances, and you are best served honoring and respecting this process above even the shifting/projected societal version of superficial definitions of “health,” and/or constantly shifting aesthetics.
In other words, on this path, you are best served learning to get, and keep, your body-mind healthy and in balance, and steering it in the right direction for optimal success on your life’s journey. General guidelines are useful, but above all else, tune into/with your Self at all times for the best results.”
Always remember that wellness is the foundation upon which we practice Yoga here.
This Course provides basic tips and information on caring for your body-mind, so that you can keep it well, and heal/balance it when necessary, in order to remain successfully on your path toward spiritual Liberation and True/lasting joy.*
*Please also remember, however, that I am not a medical doctor managing your physical conditions nor a therapist working on any mental illnesses. You are required to seek medical advice if you are in need of that type of assistance. As a Wellness Professional, I focus on just that: wellness. This course is simply for healthy individuals who are interested in learning Scientific, Yogic/Ayurvedic/Herbal principles and tips for maintaining balance in/of their Koshas. It is for those who want to join our “conversation” on optimal health and well-being and learn some tasty and nutritious recipes along the way (since this course will be ongoing with new materials/information being added as inspired).
