Heal the Mind, Heal the Body 

There is plenty of debate concerning willpower and the effect it has on disease. When sickness comes, it is hard to push away all the negative thoughts – in fact, the idea is completely unrealistic. Still, those who continue to remain as positive as they can through such an event (or any for that matter) seem to know how to cast those feelings to the side and enjoy all the good in their lives. These blissful thinkers tend to be in the healthiest of conditions as well. It may sound too good to be true or downright annoying to hear that such advice when doing through a serious ailment for some. Still, there is evidence that optimism, hope, and most of all, believing you can take control of your life again, helps improve health as well as speed up recovery.

Maintain a Positive Outlook

Everything about our body is not all figured out to this day. There are some situations, even if they are good, that cannot be answered. The same goes for why those who look at the brighter side of a dark event tend to recover faster, live longer, or even be healed from diseases such as AIDS, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. There is an  increasing amount if evidence that suggests the there is a strong relationship with the mind and the immune system. Looking at it from the opposite spectrum, pessimism makes people stress out, elevating stress hormones in the blood which can wear out the organs and body over time.  The level of stress one has plays a major role in allowing the body to cope with disease.

Melt the Stress

Although we are inherently positive people, situations such as a disease can put many through a state of hopelessness and depression. While it may seem hard to break, an attitude change is one of the first things you need to do, even if it is temporary.

Continue to Smile: Doing something as simple as smiling helps lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones. Do not feel guilty about humoring yourself more often whether if it is by going out or watching an amusing video.

Stay Surrounded with Loved Ones: One of the worst things a person can do is isolate themselves from everyone. The people you cared about before will still love you regardless, wanting to help in any way they can. Help can be hard to accept for some because of not wanting to be weak, but this couldn’t be any more further from the truth. Adapting to a new situation can take time so people should allow themselves the reorientation they need. 

Clearing the Mind: Keeping yourself distracted and not thinking about the complications of  a disease is beneficial for you. The combination of a clear mind and stress reduction are possible with meditation, tai-chi, prayer, and yoga. Ones perspective naturally shifts for the better when starting any or all of these alleviating activities.

We’re all aware how fast paced today’s life is and all it takes is a blink of an eye and suddenly we’re surrounded by grandkids, living in a nursing home wondering when we will leave this world. But why do we fear old age? There are so many cosmetic ads and philosophies out there telling us how to avoid getting old, but we should be grateful for having a long, eventful life. All those scars, wrinkles and curves on our bodies tell a story of how we lived our lives. So, instead of trying to slow the process of aging, why not simply accept it gracefully and do our best to enjoy the years we have in front of us. Try leading a healthy life by eating properly, doing exercises, surrounding yourself with positive energy and soon you’ll realize how beautiful every stage of life is.

Yoga benefits for aging gracefully

While I realize how important exercising and keeping fit is, I have never been that person who goes to the gym three times a week or loves to go running every morning, so I tried doing yoga and discovered it’s perfect for me. And the great thing about yoga is that you don’t have to be a fit twenty-year-old; instead, all you need is to be patient and give it time. As a matter of fact, yoga is one of the few physical activity where you become better at it with age. The longer you practice it, the more agile and more flexible you become. So, as you get older and keep practicing yoga, it actually becomes easier to do it. When we practice yoga, we actually get to know our bodies. We learn what we need, what feels good, so our bodies and our minds get to evolve in a way, and this, in the end, helps us accept our bodies and the fact that we’re growing older.

How does nature help

As we mature, we become aware how precious life is ‒ it’s not just about being alive but how we lead that life as well. We are aware of the pollution and how difficult it is to find that one place where we can breathe fresh air and eat food with absolutely no toxins in it. Our bodies need clean air, fresh water, and nutritious food. However, there are other materials, such as precious gemstones and powerful crystals, which can help out our bodies as well. My grandmother is the one who taught me how beneficial yoga is, but she also introduced me to healing properties of gemstones. Even these days, when she’s spending her days at a place for people over 55 living out her days in peace and quiet, she’s surrounded with precious gemstones and she still practices yoga daily, happily embracing her age.

What do gemstones do

Nature gave us so many gifts including precious gemstones, minerals and crystals. Before you decide which gemstone you want to have near you, you should learn about different gemstones and their benefits. Your decision depends on what you need help with or which illness you want to prevent. For example, we all face depression at some point in life, but it’s much harder to face it as we become older because there is that inevitable fear of being purposeless. Fortunately, there are many gemstones that help alleviate depression and these are amazonite, citrine, jet, lapis lazuli, peridot and turquoise. Not only do these help fight depression, but they also help reduce anxiety, boost confidence and concentration, and help with anger. However, gemstones don’t only help our minds, they can also help alleviate physical discomforts and even prevent certain illnesses. For example, amethyst, bronzite and fluorite help our skin and chrysoprase prevents high blood pressure.

These are just some of the healing properties of precious gemstones, among so many. Try to incorporate yoga into your everyday life to find balance and try wearing a gemstone to find piece. Instead of fearing your maturity and old age, face it with grace, embrace it, and be happy for the knowledge and wisdom you’ve gained during your life.
