the Mind-Body-Soul Connection

Hello All !

I hope you had a nice weekend and have been getting pumped for the holiday season! Today I want to blog about the mind body soul connection, which most of you have already heard before. The way this works is that we need to create balance amongst the three in order to feel alive in this little game called life. Like the three S's of life (see earlier blog post) we cannot only focus on one facet, instead we must maintain balance and nurture all three! Basically I want you to think of the mind body soul connection as a triangle

Mind

Body - Body- Body

Soul -Soul-Soul-Soul-Soul-Soul

The Mind is on the top in that we must nurture it with knowledge and keep it free of clutter. Our studies do not simply stop once we complete school, they continue throughout our life in order for us to learn about ourselves and those we come in contact with. We must also train the mind to stay free of stress even in the toughest of situations. If this sounds hard try breathing techniques and or looking at problems from a different angles. Try Meditation, yoga, simple stretching, and even shutting your eyes while listening to relaxing music.

Once we nurture the Mind we move down to our body which must be fed empowering foods and exercised daily. We must not eat or drink in excess instead we should monitor ourselves that we are keeping a proper balance. Many people decide to eat fast food since it is a lot quicker but as time progresses the body feels sluggish and looks fat and not exercised. This greatly effects our mind and our ability to think clearly. When we decide to treat our body like an automobile; keeping it clean, well tuned, and properly fed we notice we instantly feel and look better radiating positive energy into the world. This brings me to the soul -

Our connection to the Soul is our connection to our highest selves. We cannot connect to this higher self unless we have treated our mind and our body with respect. When we are proactively doing the things we enjoy most, we are connecting to our true selves and will see much more synchronicity in our lives, bump into the people we need most, and we will radiate confidence. When we believe in our selves despite what others are saying, we connect with our highest nature. I like to look at other peoples negativity and their doubts as a personal obstacle - I see it as a hurdle and it gives me the strength to move in the appropriate direction for me! I promise you if you follow your gut feelings and stay true to your heart you will succeed in life. The reason most do not connect with him or herself on a spiritual level is due to fear - Fear of the unknown, the fear of what others think, and the fear of failing. As Susan Jeffer's says, "feel the fear and do it anyway."
