Hey Tabsey

I have been aware of the diminishing fun factor for a while and personally I reckon/"feel" this causes more disease than being "righteously strict with diets, sex, cars" or anything.

I know people who are strict vegetarians who eat organic foods etc yet they still get sick, they get cancer and they die. Some are so hyper-sensitive that they can't go into airports and not be effected by the fluro lights etc.

I know from my own personal experience "fear of a particular illness" causes more sickness than the illness itself.

Hey Tabsey

I have been aware of the diminishing fun factor for a while and personally I reckon/"feel" this causes more disease than being "righteously strict with diets, sex, cars" or anything.

I know people who are strict vegetarians who eat organic foods etc yet they still get sick, they get cancer and they die. Some are so hyper-sensitive that they can't go into airports and not be effected by the fluro lights etc.

I know from my own personal experience "fear of a particular illness" causes more sickness than the illness itself.

In the DVD "The Living Matrix" they speak about an experiment on people with arthritic knees. They had a "control group" and and "experimental group". The "control group" had the regular op, the "experimental group" only had the knee opened and closed again.

They followed up the people involved and found the people who had the "placebo surgery" were faring as well as the ones who had the full thing.

Laughter, fun, if genuine comes from the heart. People underestimate something as simple as their posture in maintaining "health". When we stoop and close of the heart centre or the chest, it has a corresponding effect on the immune system.

That is why in yoga they remind us to keep the head tuned to the heart. The head (intellect) should serve the wisdom of the heart. Most people just let their heads run wild and have no idea what even exists in their hearts and then they wonder why they get sick.

More fun, but "what is fun"? Is it "fun" according to the external world or is it fun according to the deeper wisdom of my heart? The heart knows, most of the time we just have to listen to it. We have to catch the whispers when our heads get too loud.

"We have to catch the whispers when our heads get too loud." Excellent.
Stress nearly got me. Helped turn me into a working alcoholic.
Recovery has been centred around avoiding stress. I walked away from many situations when I felt the brain fizzing up. Yoga is good then.
Stress is the killer. No matter how fit in other ways, if a person cannot relax, smile, walk on the beach or in a wood or a paddock.
Food is next. Eat to enjoy and be like the French (A cheeky little piece of cake)- not a mudcake. Processed food can be cut back and good fresh food makes up for sins of the past. But you go with what you can get and smile. (What good is it to travel in peak traffic to pick up an organic cabb...

Fun is slowing down and enjoying the world, family and friends, while we still have them.
