Healthy peace and joy some nearly final thoughts

HEALTHY PEACE AND JOY SOME NEXT TO FINAL THOUGHTS

The relationship between Body/Mind/Spirit/ and Peace and Joy is of course complex and critical to understand inasmuch as possible.  However, this group of commentaries is only going to dip into the well but t2ice more.  Then  other visits will be made.   

You see, since 2020 is peaking around. The corner and the days are counting down I thought I’d dust off my top posts from the year, give them a fresh coat of humor, information, and punctuation and release them  as a retro-prospective.   I also want to do a  “resolutions post and of course I might not make  it to ten after I dig in, becxausae my spirit will call out and say that’s enough or here’s something else you need to write about—right now!

Having said.all that...here we go on Helathy Peace and Joy for today.  So far the focus has been on the medical appointment  process and  breaking the. Clinical model for your health care professionals. And so that you can get human treatment from and for human beings.  Next, the topic was  food—how I/we treat it in our culture and how faster is not better and it’s going to show up. In one of my resolutions (BTW).  Comments have been made about. The lack of healthcare education we receive throughout our lives.  For certain we have (even when parts of it function outside the. Regular range) this marvelous instrument known as the human body and the mind/soul/spirit and we get almost  no help understanding how it works. Or how to use it.  In short, becoming more aware is probably step one in heading up the road in. Peace and joy.  Okay...moving forward.

So let’s start with a  simple question—do you still dance?  If. Not did you. Quite because your knees or hips. Woreout?  Or did your knees or hips wear out because you quit dancing?  No matter...what  you could do is start again.  If you ask a group of. Five year-olds to show.you their best dance, not a single one won’t  be able. Or willing to do that and so do we teach people.that dancing is unacceptable or that adults don’t do that kind of stuff?  In short one of the keys to.seeking. Peace and joy in a healthy way is to “shake, shake, shake, shake , shake,shake, shake your booty (sp).  I bet in addition to  sitting silently for  long periods the Buddha could still bust a move, shake a leg, cut a rug...

Okay I’m just suggesting we make like the scarecrow after being up on that pole and hey even use the pole to do some dancing if tha’t your deal.  Just  move.  

Everyone has time for a little dancing—EVERYONE!!! Dance in your house if you must—while you are sweeping the floor or picking up laundry or taking  the pizza box to ther garbage etc.  You can do a little two step and the megastore while you are in line-NO JIGS AT THE “U-SCAN self-checkout except in the third week of March—then all bets are off.  

Dance over to your local bookstore  (if you are in or near Burlington, Iowa —Burlington by the Book on Jefferson is THE PLAC—and pick up a copy of Bill Bryson’s “The Body: a Guide for Occpants.”  This book covers your body like  two passionate college-aged loverss on a ...okay you get5 the point—the book  tells you a lot about almost every  part of the human anatomy.  TaTake three minutes  a day to inventory your body parts both inside and out.  I’m not suggesting  an “at home” colonoscopy kit or anything, I’m just saying give yourself  a minute to check things out regularly you can do some parts of this with a partner every so often too—but don’t imagine you are doing it with neighbor while  that’s going on.  

Okay so far 1. Move—2. Get. Educated and 3 Stay aware and here’s number. 4...

Be grate3ful for lo the. Parts of you that are in working order at any given time don’t take. This miracle for granted.  Imagine  the headaches  that would come if we.all had to lift  our right arms to chew or snap. Our figures to urinate?  Queen’s AAnother One Bites the Dust would be playing in most public  restrooms or maybe Ice Ice Baby or Roger Miller’sKingb of the Road?  

Take a minute to breath deep and e thankful for the intellect and physical  skills you have.  

Well...I’ve. Given you  about enough for. One day.  I’ve  got a little dancing to do in the kitchen.  

Peace Out
