Health Isn’t In A Pill, It’s a Skill: 6 Ways to Get It

wellnessWhen I do a Google search for health I come across various matter science institutions giving their website renditions of it  In this measurement tradition of healing descriptors are given to help guide the consumer through disease labels, discuss pharmaceuticals(pills) and tests that can be done to figure out what's the next step  And of course procedures that can pull us through difficult times

Health as the Absence of Disease?

The contemporary matter science medical(molecular) model that we use is crisis management  In this way of thinking if we're not sick, then de facto we're healthy

Oh, oh I have some bad symptoms of dis-ease or my lab tests are out of whack  Red alert  Better do something  And then we manage the disease with a pill or magic operation

Now it's not to say that this model of healing is not important  It's extremely valuable when we are unfortunately really sick   But let's be clear, it does not define health

But I don't  think people consider health that way anymore even though that's the best the molecular model can give us  And it can't give any better because the model isn't made for health, it's made for dealing with disease

The World Health Organization however has a different way of looking at disease  To paraphrase, health is not the absence of disease

Energy Science Definition of Health

So the energy science of Ayurveda has a lot to say about the perfect state of health 

Not only does it define health for us but it goes the important next step  It gives us tools in order to develop that perfect state of health where disease is not possible

But it takes knowledge, awareness, and work to develop the skill of being healthy  Would we not think it unusual to find that Tiger Woods doesn't practice golf  That he just shows up for tournaments?!!
