Practicing Wellness

10/29/2013

I was just reading in one of my blog entries that I practice wellness, and it's true.  It helps me to understand when doctors say they practice medicine, that it is nothing hard and fast, but more something we learn about every day.  For the last 50 years!!! I have studied nutrition and wellness in one form or another, but I had some teeny little glitches in the way.  Because of my upbringing, I was highly avoidant, so even though I knew theoretically what the healthiest path might be, I didn't always take it.  I spent more time avoiding my feelings than I did facing them and moving on.
This comes in large part from growing up with a family that did the same.  With the horrors of my father's war experience freshly on him when my brother and I were born and little, we grew up in a state of nervous anxiety, always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  He suffered from what we now know as PTSD.
What I know about myself from my experience is that I understand people who use anything, and I mean anything, not to feel their feelings.  I know where that comes from and as long as it does not involve hurting other people....but it always does.
No matter what we think about substance abuse, for instance, it hurts the one doing it in a physical and soul way, but it also damages relationships or makes them impossible.  Children grow up wounded and damaged in families that don't communicate, or communicate badly.
So for these last 50 years, I have been collecting data on healthy and friendly ways to make up for some of the things I missed, or wish I had missed, growing up.  And you know what?  They seem to be working!  I will spend the rest of my life sharing what I have learned.

Thank you for your blog.
Today, I have stareted my life over. I forgive. I unlearn and allow space for new experiences. I allow my fears to slip away and I seek to live in the now.
I seek to be in the center. Balanced by all the things I have seen, done and heard. I'm thankful for each experience, the good and bad.
I learn and then I let go. I seek new experiences. I pray for peace within me and throughout the world.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing air and water.
Solitude is nice and even better when shared with a friend.

    I am a lifelong seeker of connection with the Divine through music, food, art, meditation, healing work, love, travel and people.  My search has taken me around the world to my current home in the mountains of GA.   Everything I do is part of this Divine Life.  On a good day, I am aware of it, and grateful.
