It will often try to disobey, to run away, and sabotage its surroundings to remain feeling independent.

The human experience has two parts to it. The physical energetic part, and the unlimited soul part. The soul consciousness occupies the physical body and we have the human experience as we know it. Or at least some variation of that explanation.

Failure cannot exist where success lives… This was my interpretation of a Tony Robbins talk where he addressed that "fear is physical. So is stagnation so is numbness, so is rage… By participating in an intense workout you change your biochemistry to one of power and determination."

Lessons on Wisdom from the perspective of an Apple Seed....
Imagine for a moment that you are an apple.
Crimson red, plump and crisp with size so great you force your parent branch to bow.
On the outside you look healthy, rich and full of life, but where does this great life force come from? Not so long ago weren't you just a swelling bud at the tip of the branch from which you came?

An introduction to Psychoneuroimmunology and the hope for more Love as a medicine.
Only recently has western medicine begun to show evidence of what wise humans have intuitively known forever. That death and disease is directly associated with one's emotional well-being. In the past, it was only the monk, the witch doctor or the spiritual guru who could provide these more esoteric answers in the quest for wellness.

A lingering cloud of heavy darkness follows over 18 million Americans at any given time (NIMH, 2016). This cloud does not blow away in the wind, nor does it dissipate on the sunniest of days. It follows about its victims like the shadow of a lurking stranger. Stalking them like prey, this cloud attacks and kills more than 120 people every day in America and leaves others alive to suffer its wrath more than any other disorder (National Center for Health Statistics. Health, United States 2015). This dark cloud is called Depression. Its victim’s numbers continue growing as more lives and families become destroyed by its clutches each year. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. It accounts for over 10% of our healthcare’s economic burden (Greenberg, Fournier, Sisitsky, Pike, & Kessler, 2015) and the current forms of treatment are simply not doing enough to solve the problem.

Trying to meditate by closing your eyes and doing your best to think about absolutely nothing is just about the same as actually not noticing the elephant in the room. What does nothing look like?

Get the picture?

In my ever-evolving quest to determine a diet that will satisfy a holistic approach to full-body-mind-spirit integration, I have embraced many ideas and thrown out many others. What I have determined thus far in my ongoing journey of health and fitness as it relates to what we are putting in our mouths and how best to relay this to both athletes as well as yogis and everyone in between is this: diets that are dogmatic in nature are quite simply the only ones to be avoided. And, if you didn't read between the lines; even that statement in itself could be determined a contradiction on the day I find myself swearing off certain foods altogether.
