Ecosystem Well-Being and Inner Vitality

 Notice The Causal Web—the Causes and Conditions Of Your Being Unhealthy

Every Part of Our Lives Affects Every Other Part of Our Lives.

Your Life--Everything Is Interconnected!

Humankind Is a Part of the Web of Life.

We—our lives—are an ecosystem. All of our different patterns interact and interconnect in an intricate web. Everything affects everything else. All patterns form a web, which will either support a healthy weight or gradually bring on increasing levels of disease.

·        We are made up each day of the “nutrients” (choices) that we feed ourselves—on all levels of our life.

·        The Law of Cause & Effect (sowing & reaping) operates at all levels of our being—1) physical, 2) emotional, 3) spiritual, 4) creating a balanced lifestyle, and 5) mental.

      If we transform choices that have led to disease, we will gradually experience well-being!

• Emotional (listening to your inner self, nurturing activities, balance in life)
• Spiritual (taking quiet time, time for reflection and renewal)
• Social (contact with various levels of supportive relationships, being involved with life)
• Mental (thoughts, self talk and patterns of mental reactions)
• Right Livelihood (not just a job, but a way to express your talents and give your gifts to the world—one that provides joy, pleasure, and growth experiences)
