This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 08, 2009:
It strikes me these days how everything is a relationship and there is a relationship between everything. A relationship is what we make it - or rather, what the consciousness disguised as us makes it.
That goes for health and spirituality too: Our spiritual journey is highly connected with our relationship with our body, and thus what we believe is health, or healthy. Health issues can become great opportunities to explore our spirituality - and opportunities to experience our beliefs in action so to speak.
There is this saying, "a healthy body in a healthy spirit" (or is it the other way round? :-)). To me, healthy really refers to a judgement of what a body - or a spirit - should be. When we like it we say it's healthy, when we don't like it we say it's sick. But really, it just is! Spiritual experiences and physical experiences are not all that different, and are totally interrelated. Not necessarily in terms of good/bad, healthy/unhealthy, but in terms of experiencing consciousness as different, ever changing forms and expressions.
