All four of our body’s systems are interconnected. Nothing happens in one that does not affect the others. That is the magic and the beauty of our Total Body Matrixsm, however, this interrelationship goes even further. There is also a Universal Matrix System. We realize that what any one of us feels and/or experiences will have an impact beyond ourselves, affecting others as well. We are all connected.
This book will explore the complexity of our Total Body Matrixsm. It is within this Matrix that our four bodies are deeply intertwined. To understand our own unique Matrix we will first define and differentiate each aspect.
…we are all reaching for the stars to find out more about ourselves and to find answers to the deeper feelings we have within.
Trauma of any sort can disrupt our lives and create disharmony for months or years on end. If left unexamined, this trauma can cast its shadow over our entire Life and the lives of those that love and care about us.
… it is not what happens in Life that is most important. What is truly important is how we respond or react to it. How we perceive Life and what actions we take determines our joy or our fear.
When our current actions bring about unpleasant results, we shouldn’t just do more of the same. Yet, repeating our ineffective efforts is exactly what we all too often do. Acting differently begins by a re-examination of what we have been doing.
This book is about moving out of complacency.
We can choose what we truly desire. We can grab hold of our dreams and start to live them.
So, how do we use this awareness? How do we reach for the stars? How do we take on new challenges? The simple answer is to be open to the possibilities of Life.
The world of possibilities is our desire. We are here to take charge of our lives and make them be all that we have ever dreamed they could be. We are not alone in this journey. We have each other, and we are here for one another.
We will learn how to feel safe in all aspects of our body — the Physical Body, the Emotional Body, the Mental Body, and the Spiritual Body — the TOTAL BODY MATRIXsm.
We can now take that general knowledge and develop a way to use it in our daily lives.
Knowing how we function gives us the power to control our health. We can take action to protect ourselves from disease, stress and anything that might lower our quality of health.
Not all efforts need to be drastic. There are many simple action steps we can take…
We are not just a Physical Body that needs tending. We are a Physical-Emotional-Mental-Spiritual Body, a complex Matrix that needs each part addressed in order for the whole self to be safe. And in this safety, we become healthier, more energetic, and more vibrant.
Our perception and how we view the world is what truly creates peace and happiness in our Life.
Life is a dance, and we are all dancers. We are spinning together, and at the same time, whirling apart. We are all here in the dance, yet we all move in our own rhythm, to our own tune, with our own energy level, together and apart, constantly weaving in and out of each other’s lives. This is also the dance of the Total Body Matrixsm.
To develop a well functioning body, we must begin by understanding how our body works.
Our body’s communication system works very well. It has important messages to give us if only we will listen.
In this world of limitless possibilities, we open our hearts and we open our minds. We give up the hard-walled belief system that we are right and ask ourselves; “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be happy?”
Our attitude has a tremendous impact on our immune system. Being joyful and living in gratitude are two of the most profound boosters for our immune system we can possibly have. And, best of all, they are free!
Ultimately we want to be able to think for ourselves. We want to gain control over our thoughts. We want to be the one deciding what our mind does — not the one being controlled by our mind. Without direction, our minds chatter away aimlessly. However, when we give our mind direction, we exert control over it. This is one of the most powerful forms of control we have — directing our mind.
Expanding our knowledge base is an empowering step. Once acquired, that knowledge is ours and cannot be taken away.
We are on a journey of self-discovery. With clarity, knowledge and commitment, we increase our understanding of what we want and who we are. We listen to our dreams and aspirations and create the Life that we desire. This is where our control and power truly reside, in the decisions we make about the direction of our Life.
We have several means at our disposal to help us create new thoughts and replace old, self-critical patterns with new uplifting ones.
We may live in a physical world, but it is our Emotional Body that primarily rules our lives. All the events and experiences of our physical world impact us according to our beliefs.
We may feel out of control, but we can regain it; even in trauma we are not helpless. We may not be able to totally control the situation, and more than likely we can take charge of some aspect of it. At the very least, we can control what we think, how we perceive things, and how we react. We can change old patterns and, ignited by the spark of especially upsetting situations, adopt new behaviors, fresh outlooks, and a different point of view.
When we know how we react to certain events, such as trauma — we are better prepared to remain healthy.
Awareness, knowledge, and clarity all lead us to the appropriate action. This is our security, our strength, and our empowerment.
New adventures await those of us who seize the opportunity. The only limitations in realizing the Life we want are those we place upon ourselves.
There is always an opportunity to create a Life with passion from our greater understanding. It is within our grasp, right here, right now, in our own magnificence. The tools have been given to us — the moment is ours!
When our Total Body Matrix is in harmony and flowing, it creates a positive effect on our entire system; even our immune system changes.
Loving Self is a form of connection and depth. It means we have a reverence for Life and for ourselves. This is not to be confused with feeling “selfish”. When we love ourselves, we are in touch with what our true inner desires are.
Each day is made up of many opportunities to be creative and expressive. Each moment offers us a greater vision of ourselves, of whom we are dreaming of being, and the reality that each one of us is a unique and creative being.
Central to learning how to remain healthy is an intimate understanding of each of our four bodies within our personal Matrix.
To eliminate or change the conflict in our world, we must first stop the conflict within ourselves… Because we are not there yet does not mean we will not get there. We can imagine it. And if we can imagine it, we can make it so. It is possible to have a world where each person’s conflict is resolved within and not passed on to another. It is possible to have a world where there is peace.
We can make a difference in the world. And it begins by making a difference within ourselves. If we stay focused on changing ourselves, the changes in others and in the world will naturally come.
Fear is what keeps us from our dreams. We have the choice. We can give in to the fear and set our dreams aside… Or we can stay focused on our dreams and refuse to be sidetracked or stopped by fear.
