The Good Life
Good health has been related to our physical, emotional and intellectual development and wellbeing. The intrinsic link between Good Health and Happiness is important for our own and our children’s future. The author’s ‘Top 12’ recommendations are follows:-
1. Fresh drinking water.
2. Sunlight and natural daylight.
3. Fresh air, being in gentle natural environments.
4. Organic/Biodynamic food, food grown in harmony with the natural elements – sunlight, stream water, organic minerals. (Organic Consumer Guide Edited by David Mabey and Alan & Jackie Gear; Thorsons, 1990.)
5. Natural self-motivated exercise and movement.
6. A positive and loving attitude of gratitude and appreciation…
7. Creativity and play – self-directed learning.
8. A passionate project that requires personal commitment and enthusiasm.
9. An ongoing specialised area of learning or apprenticeship.
10. A hobby that provides some form of personal nurturing and creativity; e.g. crafts, growing vegetables or flowers, knitting etc .
11. Regular holiday retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation, reflection and healing.
12. Spiritual aspiration and personal enquiry that addresses human consciousness from the heart and soul-spirit connection.
| British neurologist John Lorber was working on the disorder known as hydrocephalus. When Lorber was sent a young man who graduated with a 1st Class honours degree in mathematics and an IQ of 126. This young man who had an enlarged head was leading a normal life. Yet a CAT scan revealed that he had ‘virtually no brain’ the skull was lined with a thin layer of brain cells about a millimetre thick while the rest of the space in the skull was filled with cerebral fluid.

‘All life is learning and a development of self-knowledge. We must view disease in this lightin order to understand it. We must, therefore, not treat disease, but use disease as a tool for understanding ourselves. Once this communion with our inner consciousness is gained, we will find an inner harmony and joy that can overcome all external difficulties…….The basic rule is – whatever we can do for ourselves to improve our own health is more effective in the long run than what another person can do for us.’ (Ayurvedic Healing by David Frawley, 2000: 57&59)
What is written here is presented as an inspiration for us all to enquire beyond what we have been told and what we already know, for there are as many answers as people on the planet, and many more questions awaiting favourable answers.
The author has no medical qualifications of any sort.
| Nothing is presented as a treatment, cure or prevention for any disease or health matter of any kind.It is important that readers get professional supervision when dealing with serious medical conditions. |
What is written is simply that of friendly advice from someone who has searched and found successful healing from alternative natural resources and practitioners.
I ask that readers forgive my style of presentation when my truths and understandings are presented without personal ownership i.e. I believe…. I think….In my experience etc. Be assured. I hope that readers will check out what I have written for themselves and find their own thoughts, beliefs and experiences. To expand our thinking we need to extend our experiences and in order to gain new experiences we need to expand our thinking – touché. Only a prayer, a calling sent to the source of all knowledge can make a difference, reaching beyond a present disruption to bring an answer of harmony from a place beyond this moment into a new future. By sharing our experiences we encourage each other to have faith in a new way forward that might otherwise not be thought possible and thereby remain as just that – impossible. Even subtle subconscious shifts can open new doors of opportunity and moments of hope through which miracle rays can move into action: bringing into our reality that which is beyond our present beliefs.
Birth, death and early childhood are beyond our control, but the quality of living we experience can be influenced by our own doing, through the combined elements of free will and the power of thought. What we learn and create in our life is what we can share with others, the learning we resist and deny ourselves we cannot receive or share with others; sharing is how the world that we know is created. I hope this summary of my experience and understanding will inspire the readers to discern more consciously to discover some successful choices for themselves.
The competitive nature of survival in our world of today provides excessive provision of health and happiness to some at the expense of others: i.e. ‘If one person’s happiness causes another person’s pain what good has it given anyone?’
Philip Day in his book Health Wars ‘unmasks the fraud and deceit of the cash hungry healthcare industry’ and entrenched scientific error and unhealthy agendas which deliberately prevent the simple answers to killer diseases from becoming public knowledge. The world of today is full of extremes e.g. excessive unhealthy diets, misguided use of drug medication, poverty and mal-nutrition.
Over recent years there has been a growing concern about how our daily diet can influence our ability to concentrate, our interest in learning, our capacity to organise sensory information, and our inner state of wellbeing. Inner wellbeing affects our interests, our attitude and our application to learning.
My writing about Natural Play and Learning began with natural health and supportive daily nutrition – Self-Help, Self-Enquiry, Self-Healing (Part 1). Research suggests that levels of nutrition, notably vitamins, minerals and omega oils can influence our capacity to learn. Sunlight and outdoor activity has been shown to improve our health, emotional wellbeing and physical skills related to balance, movement and coordination. Stimulants [e.g. coco, caffeine, peppermint, artificial additives and recreational and some medicinal drugs] have been shown to disrupt social behaviour, positive interaction and successful learning.
Those who engage in prolonged periods of media entertainment may lose their interest in self-directed learning and creative activity. A high carbohydrate diet can cause obesity and a lethargic disposition. Negative and challenging physical, emotional and/or psychological treatment can disturb our inner sense of safety and create a strong focus on survival issues. Then coping strategies over-ride personal confidence and the natural desire to engage in exploration and creativity.
Psychological stability is recognised as very influential to our development of healthy levels of independence and personal confidence. Trusting the environment as helpful and supportive to our natural desire to learn is essential to positive learning experiences. Inner wellbeing supports foundations of enthusiasm and endeavour required for new levels of learning and helps us to overcome challenges and maintain required levels of focus and perseverance.
A person with a notable physical and/or mental disability may successfully attain levels of learning and personal accomplishments equal to or beyond those who are not disadvantaged. This illustrates that important factors beyond physical and intellectual ability are capable of influencing what and how we heal and learn.
