Enlightened Masters have also
shown that meditation produces beneficial effects such as reduction of tension,
lowering of blood pressure, relaxation of muscles, increased concentration and
work efficiency, and increase of immunological resistance to diseases. As a
result, some form of meditation has become an essential part of most holistic
health programmes.
Health is the foundation for a feeling of wellbeing
and joy. It is very difficult to be full of enthusiasm if you are not in a
state of positive health. The absence of disease is no indication of this
state of perfect health. It is a hygiene factor for improving your HQ.
There are many steps that will take you to a state
of optimum health. A complete medical check up once a year can provide accurate
information about the state of your body to your physician. Make sure this
becomes an annual habit.
Just as you would not tolerate a minor
malfunctioning in your car, so too, you and your doctor should be vigilant for
the slightest disturbance in your state of health. Minor problems, aches
and pains should be dealt with immediately, rather than be endured with gritted
teeth.
Listen to your body. If you are tired, rest. If
you are hungry, eat. If you are lonely, communicate, ask for a hug. If you
are angry, deal with your anger constructively, resolve it.
The body is our vehicle
for the journey of our soul in this world. You may be an immortal soul who
happens to own a body, but the body-vehicle has to be maintained in good
condition, so that we may achieve the goals for which we were created.
