ECO FRIENDLY HOLISTIC HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Holistic, healthy lifestyle is the need of the hour and gateway to our center physically, mentally, socially, ecologically and spiritually.
Holistic, healthy Lifestyle comprises of the following characteristics:

First and foremost, Holistic, healthy lifestyle involves living with truth or living in the present or living with wholeness. Holistic, healthy lifestyle leads to evolution of spiritual intelligence. Present is omni-present as it’s the wholeness. The past is History. The past cannot be undone. Do not brood over the past. However, past is known to you and will help you handle the Present accordingly. Do not worry about the future. Instead, focus on making your Present beautiful by enjoying the wholeness and the future will be taken care of. [Read more for more details, book living in the present]

Second most important characteristic of this holistic, healthy lifestyle is the identity of spiritual center in us. When we subjectively operate with identity of centre, we can command or attain mastery over our peripheral faculties or objective existence like body, mind, emotions and ecosystem.
I am superficially /peripherally represented as body, mind & emotions in our ecosystem. I am deeply represented or my centre is essentially empty like atomic stuff or spirit or 99.9999999% empty like or quantum stuff. Being Spiritual means deeply identifying with the deeper self and Connecting With the deeper self. This Deeper self within is Indeed connecting back to the universal you, hence connecting to yourself is connecting to the universe. [Read more for more details, Center yourself]

Third characteristic of holistic lifestyle includes every individual’s uniquely customised lifestyle which is self- designed depending on individual genetics, unique worth, IQ, EQ, Individual requirements etc. Every individual is unique outside and united inside. Healthy holistic lifestyle needs to be customised depending on uniqueness in the Outer Present. At the periphery level, everyone is unique. No two individuals are an exact match and have their own unique frequency, with no one being superior or inferior. However, at the center, we are all united. But In conclusion every individual is uniquely designed hence lifestyle also needs to be uniquely customised to center ourselves. [Read more for more details, Self Esteem]

Fourth important life style is Holistic Happiness and Contentment : Holistic Happiness and Contentment needs a special mention as a important component of holistic lifestyle. We are facing an unhappiness pandemic. As per the WHO in 2019, around 280 million people worldwide are affected by depression. Unhappiness is the root cause of the problem, contributing to 75 percent of diseases. It’s crucial to prioritize happiness. Happiness is a state of biochemistry we develop when we appreciate and celebrate what we have. It’s a human emotion that creates a lot of neuropeptides in our body. Appreciating and celebrating the contents of outer self & inner self induces happiness. When you are not enjoying what is already there and want add-ons, that’s when problems start. When we are happy and contented we can connect to center easily. Ever-present center happiness includes Silence, Being in the Present, Becoming a witness to all the events, Meditation, Good Sleep, etc.,

Fifth characteristic of holistic, healthy spiritual lifestyle includes Balanced Nourishment. Unlike balanced diet, Balanced Nourishment includes harmonising all the 5 elements of nature. Balanced nourishment is a very important part of Body and Mind Spirituality. Here, we are considering all five elements of nature as the basic requirements for nourishment- water, earth, air, fire and space. We can be rooted in center only when we have harmony and balanced nourishment.
