This is a graphical summary of my recent public discussion emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual health in maintaining balance. A large portion of my discussion touched upon vestibular balance and how to prevent falls not just by cleaning up your walkways, but by increasing one’s ability to manage their center of gravity, increase leg strength, improving range of motion and the need to become more self-aware of one’s attention, one’s physical body as well as surrounding envirnment.
The role of knowledge, intelligence, and cognitive processes in balance.
The connection between beliefs, morals, values, and spiritual awareness.
The impact of mental health and emotional well-being on balance.
The concept of “deep roots” and their connection to physical balance.
The influence of diet, medications, and lifestyle choices on balance.
The potential negative effects of recreational drug use.
The importance of environmental factors and injury prevention.
The relationship between the feet and overall health, including the concept of “death begins in the big toe.”
The importance of sleep hygiene and quality sleep for overall health.
The use of technology, such as LED lights, and its potential impact on sleep and well-being.
The role of the feet in overall balance and stability.
The impact of injuries and falls on balance, particularly the “fracture cascade.”
The importance of maintaining physical fitness and strength for balance.
Engaging in regular physical activity, such as tai chi or yoga.
Improving posture and body alignment.
Being mindful of surroundings and potential hazards.
Practicing deep breathing exercises to regulate the nervous system.
Use “3 points of contact” when standing, sitting, climbing, hiking, etc. for a more stable structure.
Understand that the human body is very similar to a tree with roots (lower body), trunk (middle or core), and branches and leaves (arms and hands).
Become more self-aware that you have a purpose, a calling, bliss or “ikigai,” a Japanese term for a sense of purpose and meaning that can affect others beyond the self.
One has to put in the time and effort to achieve anything of value. One can be non-active, proactive, or reactive, depending upon their attitude, goals, and resources. Physical exercises to improve balance can consist of a combination of static, dynamic, and locomotive movements and methods.
I teach and offer lectures about holistic health, physical fitness, stress management, human behavior, meditation, phytotherapy (herbs), music for healing, self-massage (acupressure), Daoyin (yoga), qigong, tai chi, and baguazhang.
Please contact me if you, your business, organization, or group, might be interested in hosting me to speak on a wide spectrum of topics relative to better health, fitness, and well-being.
I look forward to further sharing more of my message by partnering with hospitals, wellness centers, VA centers, schools on all levels, businesses, and individuals who see the value in building a stronger nation through building a healthier population.
