Having insight, is to go beyond the five given senses and see the reality of what which we look at and see only the manifestation of the real.  It is when we look for the spirit back of the manifestation.

Insight is when we look deep beyond the surface to understand others and to see the good and oneness in everyone.  With much practice at this we develop a clearer intuition of character and will be able to see the motives that prompts actions.  Additionally compassion and love will open up our powers of discernment which will protect us in many ways.

With insight, we have a keen deep sense of awareness and understanding in situations of a complex nature.  The experiences of life are for the purpose of teaching us lessons and to help us on our path of unfoldment.  We need to gain understanding so we will grow and continue to develop insight.

      In the next several months to come, the Heart 2 Heart articles will be discussing  spiritual unfoldment and will focus on the understanding of Universal Laws and the unfolding of our higher consciousness.

     We must first come to process that we are our awareness and we are the master of our own kingdom within.  It is this kingdom within that we are only responsible for and the condition of our kingdom includes the mental and physical conditions.  We are a result of our environment and experiences in life only to the level of how we perceive and treat those experiences.  Being the master of our kingdom we must start through wise and true leadership.

      We will learn that we must conduct all our external and internal affairs within the highest light.  And that we are continuously creating our environment and we are responsible for our creations. 

     It is necessary to carefully cultivate the I AM presence so we will realize peacefulness, wisdom, health, prosperity and vitality in all our ways.

There is no secret or denying that as we age our body changes and that the time of passing this realm is a natural process of life.   The 'Human Being' has a life cycle as all things in nature; it is in the conscious passage of these cycles and the peace, growth and healing in our journey is where our opportunity of true 'health'.

Physical health is not only genetics, but mostly a combination of peace within the body, mind and spirit.  The power to choose and live within this healthy peace comes with releasing, healing, practice and awareness. With that being said, the physical body and mentality are the manifestations of the inner self, this is also affected by environment and the experiences of life. The physical body reflects the condition of the soul, as much as the auric body reflects these conditions as well.  The condition of your soul can be made visible most easily by determining your state of consciousness.  -Please take a moment and ask yourself right now, "What is my level of awareness and where am I at in my feelings and attitudes regarding my-self, others and about life?"

Perhaps we could benefit from not thinking of mental and physical health as being separate but should view the Human Being as a single energy system.  Most often the physical body reflects the condition of the soul's vibration by the outward demonstration of emotions, attitudes and behavior towards ourselves and others.  Negative attitudes and behavior can block life force energy and eventually cause physical changes.  These vibrational changes are responsible for some of the dysfunctions found in the heart, stomach and blood vessels.  (Other visible examples of the souls vibration can be; repeatedly clenching hands, grinding teeth, speaking very loudly or quickly and nervous twitches etc. )

Unresolved issues cause emotions of un-forgiveness, guilt, fear, sadness and hatred, these tensions are manifested in the mind (soul) and are visible in the body.   When we examine our tensions we can bring to awareness our emotional dysfunctions and then start working towards finding the purpose in them and in healing them.

We could see improvements as we nurture the  soul as well as the body.  -We nourish the body through, eating healthy, spending time outdoors, exercise and good hygiene practices.  -We nourish the soul through *centering, meditation, prayer, forgiveness, self-love and gratitude.  -We malnourish the body with poor diet, addictions, lack of exercise and outdoor activities.  -We malnourish the soul by living in a state of self-destruction, confusion, greed and resentment.**

Negativity (fear) leads to depression, and negativity coupled with doubt makes a emotional spiral of worst case scenarios in health.   If the soul maintains a state of emotional health, peace and freedom from past regrets and future worries then it will be reflected in the body's composure, appearance and health.   Likewise, if the soul maintains a state of lower vibration agony and discord emotions then that as well will be apparent in the physical body in behavior and eventually possibly even dis-ease.

Finding your hot spots, your triggers and working on understanding them until you relax around them and they can no longer hurt you through your mental reactions. 

To help you heal mentally from that which is possibly causing physical health issues it is important to first discover your triggers (anxiety and/or aggravations).  Look at your reactions to your triggers as a momentary gift to show you in which areas you can release, heal and achieve overall growth and peace.  To find your triggers spend a day or two writing down your mood shifts (good and not so good)  and look within to discover where you have an opportunity to heal those unresolved life issues and relationships.

Your triggers are founded and given energy from your beliefs.  If you want, I have also written an article you may want to read about beliefs below.

I also recommend a very good book full of information about holistic healing is Heal Your Body by Louise Hay***.  In her book you will find the probably cause for health issues and the information you need to overcome it by creating new thought patterns and a improved consciousness.

*Centering is simply a conscious aligning of your self by breathing deep from your 'center' (your diaphragm) and going within and quieting your mind.  Centering yourself allows you to be in the space that is at peace.

**B vitamins and calcium are especially important for the nervous system.  Deficiencies in these nutrients can in some cases attribute to mental depression. -Please check with your doctor before starting to take any vitamins.

Meditation is necessary to achieve our highest possible spiritual development;  it opens up the channel through which Infinite Wisdom is available.  During meditation, we raise our vibration resulting in a true connection with our I AM, Our Higher Self.

Within this period of quiet reflective thinking we are open to those suggestions within, from the Source, and are able to transcend in thought the knowledge that is being taught.  We begin to understand that there is a purpose behind everything and to be able to discriminate between the important and the trivial, thereby resulting in giving our attention to only worthwhile matters.

Meditation puts us in a peak state of mentality, where we feel in the zone.  With regular practice, meditation inspires and adapts us to be at peace with the world and ourselves.  Meditation helps us tune into our intuition, to more easily be able to find the solutions to our issues and goals in life, it is a source of well-being and inspiration.

Daily meditation of even 10 minutes a day will give you great benefits, but meditation of at least 45 minutes once or twice a day is highly recommended.
