Natural Health is our Future! Many people today are tired of this world full of pharmaceutical drugs and their plethora of side effects. There's a drug for everything these days, and a drug for all the side effects too! It can become a vicious circle of orthodox medicine making us sicker and preventing the body from doing what it's meant to do...look after itself, healing from the inside out utilizing it's built in immune system. All our bodies need is healthy food, exercise and a positive attitude to give it the strength to heal itself. Because our bodies are living on several planes of existence simultaneously we need to find a balance where all of our bodies are receiving their needs equally. Once balance is achieved, health and happiness can't help but manifest! 
Natural Health for the 4 Bodies Physical Body: Our physical body needs nourishment in the form of healthy food, natural or organic wherever possible. Plenty of clean, plain, fresh water as we are mostly made of water so replenish often! We need to stay clean, washing our hands and bodies regularly, using products that are natural and non-toxic. Have you looked at what's in your shampoo or lotion lately? We should be maintaining a clean home environment free of smoke, dust, moulds and chemical emissions from paint, fabrics & household cleaners. Our household products need to be non-toxic to humans and animals, seems like common sense, right? Many used commonly today are not. This is very important and highly overlooked when someone becomes ill! In order for our physical body to have a naturally strong immunity it cannot be bombarded with toxins, impurities, chemicals, etc. The physical body also needs to be loved and cared for to remain healthy. Bodies that are subject to abuse and hate tend to be unhealthy bodies. Mental Body: Our mental body is our reasoning, subjective body. Deducing situations for personal relevance. Deciding on things and making calculations. This is a body that depends on the others for support. To function optimally, the mental body requires that the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies be balanced. The mental body will make decisions based on the balance of the others. The mental body's ability to absorb and assimilate new information is greatly affected by both the physical and emotional bodies well being as well. It can be seen as a mirror to these other parts of the body, and if it is out of balance, than most definitely there are deeper physical and emotional issues to look at. Emotional Body: Our emotional body is the neediest body of all. Many people live entirely within their emotional body and this body controls all the others. This is a state of imbalance, as the emotional body is selfish, subjective and egotistical. When emotions are governing existence, there can be no balancing the whole body as all others suffer the consequences of the unbalanced thoughts and actions. Once emotions are under control and stabilized, then all bodies can be balanced and functioning properly. Emotions can be very powerful, therefore need to be under control. Spiritual Body: Much like our mental body, the spiritual body has the capability to deduce situations and to decide and calculate, then to give instruction to the other bodies on how to proceed. The difference is that the spiritual body is our objective body. Meaning it chooses and sees the most optimum direction for total well being to balance the needs of the entire or whole body. It does not take into consideration any possibility of harm to the system, and will not steer the whole body in the wrong direction. This body, if governing the whole, only takes what control it needs to gain perfect balance. The problem is, that if any other bodies are governing, the spiritual body isn't! It will not interfere with the free will of the others, even though it knows best. The other bodies must be balanced and operating optimally to allow the spiritual body to do it's job of being our objective protector and guide! Working with what the body is capable of inherently is what natural health is all about! It's simple, scientific and proper to use nature's gifts for health and healing. It doesn't make sense to consider ourselves separate from nature, and to forget that this is where we come from! Get natural, get balanced, get healthy!
