Ok, I got another set of three things that came up for
me.
I was thinking what might be the most basic methods for
increasing our health, and rising up on the evolutionary scale of
consciousness.
I laid out the happiness prescription here:
Now I wanted to pare it down to 3 simple
recommendations.
BDE.
Just remember BDE – Breath, Diet, Exercise.
Visualize this as a triangle:
B
D E
Breath
Diet Exercise
Exercise can be of any various sorts, always include
aerobics, core exercises for abdomen and back, light weight lifting, and
stretching. Try to make it feel like you are playing.
For diet, we can suggest eating lower on the evolutionary scale,
and dropping processed foods.
Breath…
We put this at the top of the triangle.
Breath awareness is central to meditation, yoga, qi gong,
tai chi, and any martial art.
Connecting to the breath is key to connecting with the
body.
Watching breath can be the key to developing a concentration
practice.
Breath work can allow you slow down, to watch your monkey mind
in action.
Breath awareness can open you up, can tear you down, can let
you fall apart.
Then when you come back together, you might leave out ways
of thinking that no longer serves you.
Diet and Exercise support the body and mind.
Breath helps you rise to the next level.
Ultimately, we let go of breath, diet, exercise, when we
slip into All-That-Is, and All-That-Is-Not.
Then everything unfolds naturally, without effort…
Go BDE!
