Exercise is Also Good for the Soul

Not much emphasis has been placed on exercise for those who are walking a spiritual path, in fact some of the least fit people I know, claim to be on a journey of epic proportions. Yet they place little value on activity or have lost their way when it comes to their physical body.

Of course, this makes little sense and has become a significant block for these people. One that must be addressed and worked on to make every effort to clear out obstructed and congested areas in the body and throughout the energy field.

The most important aspect of following a spiritual path or being on a journey, has always been the fact that your body is the only way inward. A spiritual journey will not ever be completed without full and active participation of every part of the body.

Further to this, all communication with spiritual aspects of the self such as heart, higher self, energy systems etc. are coordinated by the nervous system. Then this links back through the hypothalamus to the roots of the hormonal function (more or less).

Your hormones must be balanced, functioning and at stable levels in order to receive timely and appropriate communication from all parts of your body. These internal chemical messengers are our human Angels and we cannot walk any path without them spiritual, or otherwise.

Exercise is an absolute must on this journey, there are so many benefits to body, mind and spirit they cannot possibly be all listed here. However, it is enough to know your internal communications are of vital importance for signs, signals and messages along the way.

And these signposts derive from both the hormonal (messaging) and nervous (signaling, communication) pathways. 

There are so many benefits to exercise this list is not nearly enough, it is just a quick look at some of the spiritual benefits of physical activity;

- balance internal body systems

- hormone regulation

- detox aid

- clarity of mind & spirit

- increase energy

- untangle energy field

- reduce energy spikes in the field

- improve immune function

- increase awareness

- better coping abilitiy

Physical aspects of awakening happen cell by cell and is very much a part of the overall picture and some would say this is the entire picture. The body is where all of this journey, traveling, inner pathways and walking a higher path takes place. 

When you commit to exercising and improving the fitness level of your body, you take your spiritual journey to a much higher level. Indeed, it is the only way to fly!

Have a lovely day,
