Balance and Synergy

Personal balance depends upon the active engagement of the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of existence.

Both in day–to-day life and especially when healing from illness, it is important that we become aware of how we interact with, or are not aware of, these crucial dimensions of the self. Then, the personal garment of our wellness—woven from body, mind and soul—is routinely cleansed and cared for.

Personal balance affects immunity.

The three dimensions within us affect the immune system. We have all experienced the upsetting nature of how stress later leads to colds and other maladies. Viruses and bacterium can proliferate whenever immunity is weakened. Prolonged stress can cause prolonged damage to immunity. Cancer and other severe illness can easily take a foothold when immunity is imbalanced. (see Immunity section)

Synergy is an interaction of elements that yields more than the sum of its parts.

When body, mind and spirit are holistically balanced, they create an inexplicable and mysterious healing factor that can be used to assist us to maintain flow and balance, even during the upsets of life. People often describe this sense of “synergy” as a feeling of timelessness, lucidity and a profound sense of connectedness with the deeper aspects of life, contributing to a higher awareness and perspective on existence. Regardless of whether a person is working to maintain balance in illness or health, synergy is an added bonus that intensifies a healing path.

Ultimately, balance and synergy become the fabric from which the pattern of our life is created.

As we become more balanced, we contribute a small but important piece to the wellness of the world.
