Nourishing the Soul as Part of Health and Wellness

Let me continue my thoughts on Health and Wellness that I wrote some few weeks ago. Let me continue from where I left off, that was nourishing the mind as part of health and wellness. These are purely my thoughts and without reference to any material source.

The mind arranges the software of our body while the soul acts as the programme for the software to run on. The soul is the base to the mind. Nourishing the soul is nourishing the platform for the mind to activate on. Therefore the soul needs to be aligned to what the mind sets to do.

To me, nourishing the soul is a step towards life fulfillment and couple it with a nourished mind gives advantages with inner peace. A nourished soul fills up one’s life. An empty soul would leave one without feelings and emotions, bare and lifeless. Then there is the life energy in oneself, the energy to initiate the mind and the soul to function. This energy resides in the body and silently triggers life forces such that the body functions positively. It is like the electrical current that is not seen but is energy to start things going.

Prayers, meditation, silent moments, are ways to nourish the soul and this can be further energized by harnessing the life energy in oneself. The Chinese calls this chi sometimes spelt as qi. People who practice yoga, ‘mantram’, meditation, silent prayers, zikir and similar practices inevitably bring out the life energy in them. Feelings of contentment, peace and self satisfaction will follow these silent sessions. If this life energy is properly harnessed and if done regularly, the energy generated can help ward off illness as the energy harnessed will fight foreign matter intervention that degenerate body function and cause illness. Hence nourishing the soul regularly will promote health and wellness. Therefore, prayers not only improve your relationship with your creator it also help generate life energy and forces and improve health. It does not cost anything and yet the benefits are tremendous. So, why do people, some of them, shy away from these silent moments, the prayer thing? It is free and yet difficult to acquire……. May the Almighty provide guidance to me always……..
