What is the first thing that comes to mind when I mentioned the word exercise? Perhaps the gym? Weightlifting, running, swimming? I am surprised by how much attention we pay to physical practice rather than an emotional practice. People seem to be more easily motivated to go to do physical exercise like going to the gym than taking a journey to their inner self.
Of course, physical activity is good for the mind and the body, and we have a long list of scientific evidence that supports it, like the fact that physical activity can help alleviate long-term depression, helps to release anger and tension after a stressful day at work and to clear the mind to bring new ideas. However, there is much less awareness and practice of emotional exercises to restore complete health.
There are plenty of wellness systems in the world and yoga is perhaps the most popular nowadays. “Almost 500 million people around the world practice yoga”1, and even though the practice of yoga has increased very much in the last years, very few realize the power of it and take it seriously.
We are essentially spiritual bodies living in a physical body. The spiritual body corresponds to the nervous system in the terrestrial plane. In other words, we are electric bodies living in a physical body. Our spiritual body governs the physical world and not the other way around. Yes, we can influence our spiritual body by working with our physical body but only to a limited extent. When we leave the earthly plane on our departure, we don’t depart with our physical body, we only depart with our spiritual body. It seems obvious but it is worth remembering it. Therefore, we need to take care of our spiritual bodies. Taking care of our spiritual body means looking after our electrical body or nervous system, and taking care of our nervous system means taking care of our emotional body.
You might be wondering why we can influence our spiritual body by working with our physical body but only to a limited extent, and this is basically because we don’t emanate from the physical plane, we originate from the spiritual plane, from Yod, in terms of the Hebrew alphabet. Once again, we need to remember that our essence is spiritual because after the physical body dies, our spiritual body continues to live for eternity. When sick, we often try all sorts of things from the physical plane to recover health, but none of them seems to work, or if it does, the state of disease returns in the future. This is proof that something else needs to be done, and we are not doing it quite the correct way.
Now you might be wondering what it means to take care of our spiritual body and how can we do it. Taking care of our spiritual body means taking care of our emotions and our mind, of our own essence on a deep soul level. Simply put, it is addressing the soul in a particular way that one can transform their own reality by healing the Spirit and the mind, and as a result, the physical body. I like to refer to this practice as a spiritual workout, spiritual exercise, or energetic exercise. Superhuman Naam® Meditations are the greatest and most powerfully positive way of affecting our spiritual body. It is also the safest and fastest way to grow spiritually and liberate yourself from the cycle of reincarnation. All great masters throughout history have worked with Naam®, the logos, the word and it has many benefits. Among them are increased emotional intelligence, self-awareness, internal peace, protection, etc. Furthermore, working consistently with Naam®, gives you the capacity to heal a wide range of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia, constipation, etc. “Naam® is the science of miracles” (Dr. Levry). “Neuroscientists at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City have used Naam® music to reduce pain in children being treated for a rare form of cancer, subsequently reducing the need for larger doses of medication during treatment.”2Countless other benefits exist by performing this practice on a consistent basis.
To wrap up, since we are spiritual beings living in a dual world, we always need to think about balance. As well as we can have a strong habit of going to the gym to do weightlifting, bodyweight, Pilates, or any other type of activity that exercises the physical body, we need to start having the motivation of building the habit to do spiritual exercises as well. By doing this, you will have the opportunity to experience the next level of emotional and physical health that very few disciplined people are willing to have.
Now you know the importance of spiritual exercise in your daily life, go ahead and visit Superhuman Naam® Meditations and start your spiritual practice now along with your already favorite physical activity.
Wishing you Great Emotional Health.
See you next time.
