To live a Holistic Lifestyle one must first be whole within. One must be a compassionate friend to oneself,
balancing Body, Speech, and Mind.
From this centered base of homeostasis, one moves out into the world and influences their environment and
relationships.
Not only the ecological, natural environment, but the market place, ones own home, community, the world, the
global marketplace, the earth, and all of existence. Ones relationship to self, body, fitness, diet, extends to ones
thought, feeling, and speech. Ones immediate physical actions and ones decisions and choices,
Everything one thinks says and does reverberates out 360 degrees into the interconnected web of life and
existence and mind. It is a great responsibility and a great freedom.

Start where you are. Make peace with your body/mind. Forgive the damage that has been done, whether you
think you have done it or that it has been done to you.

Release all blame and in doing so turn all blames into one, into the Tonglen in breath that transmutes this
mistaken view like poison into a full-blossomed lotus. That would be a healthier you.
Whatever the disease, discord or imbalance in body (physical and circumstance), speech (power of your words
to self and other), and mind (beliefs, ideas and mental imbalances); whatever these things may be, they can be
used as the fertilizer to grow a healthier, whole you.
There really is no big plan to figure out. It is a matter of cleaning house and rebuilding your foundation through
detoxifying, and rebuilding your body/mind. Nutritional diet, Mental diet, Environmental diet (people and
places). Be still (meditation) once you feel a little better and create mental space, and a place to allow your
inner wisdom to emerge, the right ideas, path will come to you. You will discover what changes you need to
make on an individual basis:
•        Diet – food and thought
•        Type of movement (exercise/sport)
•        Clothes
•        People in your life – relationships
•        Right livelihood
•        Home

this entire discovery is the “spiritual experience” the journey or path to enlightenment. It starts with a decision to
choose life, to choose to discover what it means to be whole. The Lifestyle, which is all the choices, and
changes I have mentioned, will develop naturally, organically, holistically. It’s like a baby developing in the
womb. Given all the right circumstances, it will grow, develop, and come forth complete. An inner intelligence
call it god, genetics, DNA, karma; call it whatever you like, it doesn’t matter, guides this process.
It is also good to know that this is an ongoing journey. Once you grasp the tools to create the momentum, once
you have made these choices, positive changes begin to happen, it is not over. This is not a product you buy,
use, and dispose of.
You essentially learn to become your own coach. You learn what you need to do to maintain your garden so it
brings forth fruit every year. You are an evolving being, just like humanity is an evolving species and the planet
is a changing entity - all connected. The journey goes on forever.

You will know when you no longer need my guidance; my services, for you will be able to provide them for
yourself. I only ask that you share my message with another and if you think, I can help them to learn what you
have, that you ask them to pay me a visit and
give it a try.
We all need each other; we all serve each other in the great wheel of life.
