ANSWERS TO HEALTHY EXISTENCE

1) yoga (this will make an individual feel at one with the world) ~ 2-3 times/week at minimum.

2) deep breathing/meditation (this will cause one to react calmly to all situations and cause deeper breathing throughout the day) ~ at least 10 minutes every day.

3) ingestion of whole foods ~ all the time, everyday. but one should also allow exceptions to the rule.

4) community (it is imperative to share one's thoughts and feelings and feel valued with one another. support networks are essential to living. just think about the study where there was a widow or a widower--the widows lived much longer because, in general, they had more extensive support networks. widowers usually passed within one year. we cannot put our eggs all in one basket.)

5) massage/chiropratic care (i believe this can cure ear infections, backed up lymph systems, help one speak more clearly and follow one's heart, reduce/eliminate joint problems, rid the body of negative states of mind)

6) cardio ~ as much as possible. but be sure to stretch afterwards v. well. i think much of our cardiovascular activity is undone in another area (our muscular/skeletal system) once we do not stretch. one has great heart health, but ends up walking like an old man/woman in their mid-30s.

**this results in a healthy soul which results in a healthy mind and body. feelings of wholeness of being result as well as comfort in one's physical body.
