Love is the basic requisite for the 4 dimensions of health [body, mind, emotion and spirit] What have I to write about this thing called 'love'? Love. yes, love. Let's look at love as a whole, not the love like cheap thrills or romance in books or movies or videos that has been exaggerated or put up just for a show so as to have you entertained. Do not always emphasize on the physical act of love that only takes up a few percent of what is love. Don't be reminded of such sexual acts whenever you see the word love. It is not about making love, but love in the making. A genuine love should be radiating and reflected in our eyes, our face and expressions, and in everyday's words, actions and thoughts. The universal language of human at the beginning of this universe where all living creatures lived together in harmony and knew no evils, spoke no evils, did no evils waasss Love...no! issss LOVE!. It is LOVE! It was not until a great change took place where these creatures started to understand and recognize sins. It all started with eating the forbidden fruit. The forbidden fruit which was strictly reminded to be left alone, was plucked, eaten and shared...... When Eve was lured into temptation, she failed the test miserably! Eversince then, sin was born. From there, the tree of knowledge opened human's eyes and minds..... Humans started to see good and bad, the right and wrong...........From then on, humans know about shame, about lies, about deceit, about jeolousy, about unkind acts, about hate, about envy, about the many negatives... Worst of all, when we humans haven't master the art of self-discipline, self-control, master the power of choice, and haven't actually understood what is GENUINE LOVE as expected of a human, problems arises......And evil took rule for some who acquired the dark side of knowledge. Not until one can master and control our mind, our emotions, our body to achieve spiritual health that the world will be at peace. Do you think that all these terrors and misfortunes and disasters will come to an end one day? Here comes an interesting question that I encountered long ago... one of my students asked me.... Why did God put that tree there and let the 'girl' have access to the fruit so easily? God can predict, God can do anything, everything, nothing is impossible to HIM... It is His fault too.... I laughingly told him that yes, maybe to you, God is to be blamed, but maybe it is you who is actually to be blamed. YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO GO NEAR THE TREE AND NOT TO EAT THAT FORBIDDEN FRUIT, right? One can choose to say 'No!' so, it is one's choice to do it or not to! haha...whose fault is it? Our Creator loves us so much that He gives us freedom, an uncommon freedom of choice. Like a father who loves us so much that sometimes he spoils us by too much pampering, though knowing that it will spoil us..... But once the dam burst, nothing can be spared, no place can be saved, as this thing 'evil' slowly seeped into human's mind, creating havoc, creating disharmony, creating fear and hate.......until today....and all of us are suffering from the aftermaths of it. Until one day, when humans understand this power of love, contributing in self-awareness and the awakening of what should be done and what not to be done. Only then, he is immune to this sufferings or pain and stay detached. Try to understand before accepting, Try to evaluate and find out for yourself....search for the truth. Truth was the answer, is the answer and will be the answer. It will be never changing, and truth will remain as truth. Forgive me, this is just a christian way of explaining things. But why am I reminding you friends about this? What is this connection link to this 4 dimension of health? I am taking this risk in explaining things in my way of accepting truth and love! One can choose to believe or not to. But be aware that there is this spiritual health that all of us one day will realize perhaps now or perhaps too late......when our spirit is released from our body.. to be continued...

Love in the Making! Love, the Basic Requisite to Achieving 4 Dimensions of Health (Part 2 of 3) So, what is love here to do with the 4 dimensions of health? Yes, there is.... The body We are what we eat! When one understands that all of us are the products of love from the Creator, one will not only learn to take care of our body and its physical needs, but will not destroy it! Your Creator, the One you believe, afterall we call Him different names.... Even without this understanding, we will also know how to look after ourselves, especially this thing we call hunger and thirst. This is the very basic need. Knowing and learning about proper care and balancing of our body's health should be of interest to everyone. So, this dimension of body health is mostly related to what we eat and drink and how the body response to it. So, here comes all these phrases of great interests..... 'Whatsoever was the father of diseases, an ill diet was the mother' and another great phase, 'prevention is better than cure!' An apple a day will keep the doctor away... Digging death with our teeth..regarding the skill of eating.. We are what we eat, we are what we do to the body! Another one - 'sickness is caused by what goes into our mouth, disasters are caused by the words that comes out of our mouth', a direct translation of a chinese phrase that combines health and morals. If one love or care enough of our body, many problems can be solved... yes, if only one can reach out to understand how to love our body, care for our body and not to destroy... this is the first step..... I always share with my friends and students, if really one cares and loves enough, our body cells will be shinning with vigor and vitality.... Many small problems regarding our body can be solved....... Thank goodness!!!.... that will be fantastic, isn't it? so, isn't this thing we call love the basic requirement for a healthy body? tell me if I am wrong...... The mind We are what we think we are! Overcoming self-defeating thoughts and attitudes by tuning to Brain Wave A where there is peace and love is a MUST. Focusing our mind on truth, on love and on positiveness where Love rules, will be the answer to achieve a stable mental attitude. The human mind is just like a monkey jumping and chattering on a tree.. Here comes discipline, a skill to be mastered. To put a rein on this monkey, to put a stop to endless and meaningless thoughts that disturb and upset our mental health. To know what our mind should install and what to uninstall......Since we have been accepting everything [the useful and useless], our brain becomes a big rubbish bin where everything are stored. Our mind needs positive affirmations, our mind needs constant positive foods in the form of encouragements, concerns, strength, good wills, kindness, faith, care and good beliefs. Disciplining our mind to reinstall love in the form of accepting what is good for our mind. Our mind needs to be reprogrammed with positives, and tuned into Brain Wave A. Learn about this, practise it and benefits from it. Face adversities with a smile, overcome them in a more productive and positive ways. Who is without adversity? 'As a man thinks, so is he' by Emerson 'He who conquers himself is greater than he who taketh cities' by an Ancient Proverb 'The truth will set you free' the Bible, John 8:32 Don't be deceived by negative thoughts, they are only what we think we were! An idle mind is the workshop of evils, beware as not to fall into this trap! You will be living in hell. You will be rotting with pain and regrets. So put our mind into use, reprogram it with positives.... reprogram it with love. Love always brings miracles if only you can believe. The mind can also be divided into conscious and subconscious awareness. To be tuned in Brain Wave A suits well for the first part. The subconscious part of our mind can be gained entry psychologically. Wow.... what about being psychologically fit? Another dimension of health? It can be, but I am collectively putting this field under our mind. Psychological approaches and skills should be mastered for this subconscious mind and one is again needed to be tuned to Brain Wave A to get the answers.. What about this right or left brain? How one uses our right or left brain will affect in the expanding and mastering new skills and knowledge. Our mind is the masterpiece of our body mechanism. It works best when used, so there is this phrase, 'Use it or Lose it" referring to our mind that needs constant exercising of our grey matters and the more one uses it, the better it responses...... to be continued..

Love in the Making! Love, the Basic Requisite to Achieving 4 Dimensions of Health (Part 3 of 3) The emotion We are how we feel! The root of emotional sickness is lack of concern and love.... Too many people now are love-starved. Too many people are too busy with themselves that they themselves are strangers to themselves. Weird? funny? no, some are so busy that they have forgotten their own existence. Their health, physically lacking of exercises, mentally lacking of right concepts...., emotionally lacking of concern and love and straying further and further away from spiritual health too. These people have forgotten as to how to take care of themselves, how do you expect them to take care of you? Where is concern and love? To be expecting others to do so is a task, it is better we, ourselves to take up the first step, learn to care and be concerned of oneself before we can share with others. I am repeating this phrase written by Anthony Robbin: "People don't have limited resources, they have limited states. Emotions or our state we are in determines our perception of reality and thus our decisions and behaviors. If we are fearful, shy, bored, depressed or stressed on a consistent basis, we will not be able to access the resources to succeed." It means that if we cannot master our emotions and that if these emotions were to interfere with our work and jobs, we will not be able to achieve what we want to achieve, that is success! Most of us are emotional beings easily affected by our emotional states, especially anger, hate, love, fear and hurt. To not to provoke and to positively response to being provoked is a skill by itself. Let's try to learn to be emotionally stable, though not easy but not impossible. What is the use of this 'something' if you dont actually have 'anything'? Penny wise, pound foolish. Spare or allocate some time out to show concern and love to just anyone... oops,..... I am not telling you to simply love everybody's body. I am telling you to be a lovable person and a person with morals and discipline. All of us will be drawn towards people with high personalities, these people demands our respect by what they do and say. Respect is earned, never forced or bought. Trust is earned too. Plant grapes, bear grapes of virtues, the bigger the bunch is, the more virtues one can accumulate. and the more loving he or she is. Be emotionally stable, heed not those feelings of uncertainty or lack of faith or confidence. The spirit We are who we really are! Spiritual knowledge always come along with religions, faith, beliefs and God. Simple understanding...... just accept that Love is God, God is Love. Be immersed and absorbed in love. Love will move a mountain, love will sooth one's fears, love will touch one's heart, love will melt the most stubborn, the hardest stone, love will evoke an understanding of give and take, love will cure, will maintain and will repair a broken heart. Love will keep on moving, keep on doing things patiently, till one day you will realize that actually you are also on the way to gain spiritual health.... a pace a day, a step a day, just keep on doing what one is required to do, differentiate between right and wrong, bad and good, acquire all the good attributes.... yes, you are...... You are also on the path to gain spiritual health... yes, you are., believe me.... because Love and God are the same! Going into this spiritual health and wealth needs patience and time to understand. It doesn't matter who you are and where you are now, but the journey towards achieving spiritual health is open to all. The path is there eversince time, it will be there and always will be. There is no short cuts nor easy ways. It is not about dreaming to obtain it, but it is practising and working it out with your brothers and sisters of your faith, of your church, of your beliefs. There is no conflict in either ways of achieving it. There is no specific rules and regulations or laws to make or force one to do it his or her ways. What is more important is where are you going? When our body starts to decay and rot, where will you be then? Where are you going? Gradually...yes, one day, you will come to realize who you really are. You will get to know where you come from and where you are suppose to go... home? haha..... mystical? abstract? cannot accept? cannot imagine? or just impossible? Close your eyes, keep quiet for a few minutes, breathe in slow, deep and steady, try to listen with your heart instead of your mind, relax..... you will be hearing your inner voice, a voice that comes deep from within, the heart... listen carefully... to what it says... you will slowly feel something.... and hear something... The above are just very brief explanations on our body, mind, emotion and minds and how important it is to keep them healthy and working fine. Remember to look at things as a whole, not only a part, to get a better view and understanding of total health and happiness, try to look at things from all angles of health. Start with love, end with love, and you will be in love. It is a bliss, an eternal joy to last that all of us can possess. Love is for all....... As a conclusion, love is the basic requisite of the 4 dimensions of health. Lucy Wong is a health and nutrition consultant.
