I have encountered several people recently who would rather not know the state they are in because if something were to change, if something out of the ordinary were to happen then their life would have to change. Avoidance of an already existing circumstance, willful ignorance of an uncertain happenstance which at first glance seems unequivocally, incomprehensibly insurmountable is much more amiable and easier on the fore-brain. Why bother to look at the Present squarely in the face when it is so much more enchantingly unsticky to give it air kisses?
Health issues and injuries are difficult to deal with but awareness and preventative fitness can help a person stay one step ahead. If an unexpected situation arises or you are suddenly on the receiving end of a tricky curve ball the only way to be ready for it is experience, vision and a sense of your own ground. If your knee suddenly makes a noise while on a Sunday jog and then swells up to twice its size it may be best to have it looked at by a doctor and not continue to put weight on it for months until surgery is the only choice. If it hurts to lift your arm over your head it may be best to seek out some kind of manual therapy before it turns into a frozen shoulder. There are little signs and feelings that can be seen, looked at and addressed which can remedy a situation before it becomes much bigger.
Your own Private Eye is the inner eye of your body-mind that knows your most natural balance and homeostasis. Your body will work very hard to keep itself in balance but it also needs a little help from your inner guidance to keep it on track. The body’s health regulators and vitality maintaining mechanisms work inside the body but have no view of the outside world. The Private Eye of your health is instrumental for seeing the pressures, stressors and dangers outside the body before it’s too late. The Private Eye is also fundamental in recognizing the best fuel, nourishment, resources and activities that will help the body on the inside to maintain optimal and peak physical condition. The most important thing in developing your own Private Eye is a desire to know what’s going on inside your body. At first it may be necessary to hire a Private Eye but with practice one can begin to develop the ability to see from the inside out.
