We go out into the world seeking healing for the wounds that the world put upon us.

a prize

You don’t have to win a competition to look and feel good.

dust

The first health risk of clutter is dust.

minimum dust

In the long run, you minimize your exposure to dust by getting it sooner. Even after dust has started to build up, you still do better to remove it as soon as you can.

radiating

You are not healing only yourself. Your efforts benefit everyone whose energies align with yours.

the stress question

Illness and stress show you where your weak points are so that you can improve in those areas, but there is no need to wait until you fall ill. You can discover many of your weak points as soon as you are ready to ask.

when to stop

Eating too little can make it hard to fall asleep, so it is important to find the right balance between food and sleep. When your weight is above your ideal weight, eat in the early evening, enough that hunger will not keep you awake later; then stop.

“The cure of pain is in the pain.” — Rumi

independent

“I personally believe that the ideal situation would be not that you are conditioned for good things or bad things, but that you are independent of them, so that . . . you can make the choices that are best for you and your biological systems in the moment. If you have to plan for that, that’s just another form of conditioning and thought, programming and stress and all of that.” — Deepak Chopra

prescription

Improving your health is one of the surest ways of being ready for the future. It is an advantage to be healthy no matter what the future holds.

Staying healthy is the special challenge of every living thing.

A cure may make a barely detectable difference from one day to the next, yet remove a disease in a week.

If you will be working around clutter all day long, wear a dust mask. Inhaling less dust makes it easier to maintain your energy.

weigh in

The ideal weight for you is the weight at which you have the most power to do the things you want to do.

An unshakable, almost meditative calm when facing difficult work can have a healing power greater even than that of sleep.

“You were not designed to go ‘pedal to the metal.’ There’s no joy in ‘work, work, work.’” — Christine Kloser
