We all wish to have health since "health is our biggest wealth" (Dr. Levry). Everything can go well in life, but when a health issue arises between the family or friends, for most of us could be a major subject of concern or disappointment, specially if we don't have easy access to medical care, and even more if our economy cannot afford to pay medical consultations, medications or even a surgery. I am referring from just a scratch to a disease that can let you disabled or something that apparently it doesn't have a cure; or maybe a mild anxiety all the way up to a lack of internal peace.
In 2005, the british social scientific, Clare Bambra, found out that access to medical care in the U.S. was more dependent to the socioeconomic status of the patient compared to other countries like Sweden, Norway, UK, where access to medical care is less dependent from personal resources1.
In 2016, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) from Washington University, Mexico ranked globally on top of the intermediate level of medical care and quality. Besides, we can see clearly that there are just a few countries in the world (see map of countries with greater index: over 91.3) whose population has access to a higher level of medical care and quality2.
A strong economy does not guarantee a good medical care neither having a very good medical technology...
Still, if we would have access to the highest medical care, "the scientific discoveries have contributed little happiness to humans"3, and that is not enough to consider a person healthy. A clear example is the onset of the COVID-19 virus that has caused an unprecedented pandemic in the modern history of humanity, and for which science has not yet found a vaccine, hoping to be ready by 2021. And even though the U.S. along with Norway, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Singapore, Finland, United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Hong Kong ranked the top of the 10 countries most technologically advanced4, their life expectancy is not always the highest. For example, Italy is between the first 6 countries with the greatest life expectancy5, ranking position #37 between the most technologically advanced countries. "The U.S. is between the nations with greatest wealth in the world but is far to be among the healhtiest. Although life expectancy and the rate of survival in the U.S. has improved dramatically in the last century, Americans live less (80 years in average for both genders) and experience more accidents and diseases than other people from high income countries"6. Mexico ranks position #90 in life expectancy (75 years for both genders), while holding a position #50 with the countries with greatest technology. Even though it's worth say that a high life expectancy not always necessarily means having had a healthy life.
"A strong economy does not guarantee a good medical care neither having a very good medical technology. We know this because people are not having the care that should have for diseases with treatments already established"7, says the Director of IHME and main author of the Global Burden of Disease 2015.
According to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, the use of medications in 2020 will reach 4.5 trillions of dosage, 24% more than 2015. And more than 50% of the Global Population will consume more than 1 dosage of medication per person a day, one third more than 20058. ¿Have humans lost the hope in oneself to regain his health by its own physiological capacities? Why?
Access to medical care is not always possible for many reasons, either economic, health or geographic situations, etc. and if medical care access was possible, still our health is not guaranteed, since the truth is that no doctor can heal you but yourself, because the secret to a permanent health lies in the mysticism of the self healing art; permanent health lies within the human being. Having said that I don't mean that we reject traditional medicine, because this is necessary but most of the time it is not the permanent solution to our health and/or wellness problems in general. For example, when we have a mental, emotional or physical crisis and we cannot cooperate consciously with the situation, we normally make use of medications to find temporal relief and continue our daily routine; or maybe we face an emergency situation and medical intervention is necessary to get out of the trouble momentarily. However, there is something that has to be clear. According to Dr. Levry, traditional medicine does not address the root of the problem, since the cause of this problem is not evident and it is invisible; it is mental, energetic and spiritual. Our physical eyes only perceive 10% of reality, so the 90% left is totally invisible to the physical eye. 90% corresponds to the energetic reality and 10% to the physical reality, which is the plane where traditional medicine operates, and according to physical laws of the Universe, the energetic plane is on top of the physical plane, which means that in order to eliminate the problem in the physical plane you need to address the problem from the energetic or spiritual plane.
Traditional medicine takes care of your health but only in a partial and temporary way.
Thus, it is clear that traditional medicine takes care of your health but only in a partial and temporary way, whence we cannot trust 100% on her. Fortunately, there is another option for us to be healthy, and it is something that it is already in ourselves; it is a health system that has existed since the beginning of the human kind and it is right at your fingertips, it is in your breath and in the sound of your voice. And this is the system that will give you a lasting and permanent health, not a temporary health. This system can be discover though the practice of Shakti Naam Yoga®, an unconventional and advanced healing system developed by Dr. Joseph Michael Levry. This system directs and redirects the energy within the body in order to ease self-healing of the energetic body of the person, and in this way accomplish a permanent mental, emotionally and physical health.
We must trust in our physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual capabilities.
Access to improve our health is always possible and it is much closer than we think. It doesn't depend from your socioeconomic situation or technological advancements of your country or territory; it doesn't matter where you live, where you come from, not much less than your gender, race, sexual preference or geographic location. Don't allow that your health depend exclusively from external help. Access to improve your health depends only from you. Jessica Peatross, certified medical doctor says: "we should trust in our bodies"9. We must trust more than ever in the capacities of our own organism, we must trust in our physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual abilities and capacities, because our essence is spiritual and our spirit cannot be destroyed by our false belief. This level of consciousness will lead us to realize that the health system is yourself.
Thank you for taking the time of reading. I sent you a big hug. Perfect health and harmony for you and your beloved ones.
