The body and mind
operate like an instrument.

Food
emotion
stress
rest
environment

all affect the condition
of the instrument.

What enters the body
affects energy.

What affects energy
affects vibration.

What affects vibration
affects frequency.

The body draws energy
from what it consumes.

Fresh fruits
raw foods
sunlight
water
breath
rest

appear to support
clarity and vitality.

Heavier foods
processed foods
overstimulation
stress

often leave the body
drained or burdened.

The body must work harder
to break down dense substances.

The simpler the fuel
the less resistance
within the system.

Stress
fear
overstimulation
conflict
restlessness

affect the nervous system.

The body responds
to inner and outer disturbance.

Stillness
rest
quiet environments
natural rhythms

appear to restore balance.

As disturbance decreases
the body often feels lighter
calmer
more at ease.

The condition of the body and mind
influences perception.

What is consumed
physically and emotionally

affects the state
through which life is experienced.

A quieter instrument
often reflects
a quieter mind.

The body feels different
when supported gently.

The body can be cared for.

Yet it remains temporary.

Food
rest
stillness
environment

all influence
the condition of the instrument.

But the realized one understands:

the body is not the Self.

Separation itself
was part of the appearance.

All arises
within the same awareness.

One mind.

One reality.
