CONSCIOUSNESS AND OUR SENSE OF OURSELVES

When we think of consciousness in our lives, we tend to think just of the mundane level of consciousness-''maintaining and even strain.'' as they say in the military. The fact is, though, that our real inner selves are much better than the even strain we're trying to kee. A really developed consciousness is more stable, more relaxed, and more alert than this; but since an even strain all we know, we're reluctant to give it up. We're afraid to give up the sense of well-being and satisfaction we have now, even though it's flawed, for a changed perspective on consciousness that we're afraid may not be as good. Every aspect of the body type health program is designed to replace a type of awareness that is dependent on compulsive, repetitive bad habits(bad nutrition, over or underexercise, stress, chronic fatigue, etc.) with a sense of well-being that is more stable and permanent. It does this through the use of techniques to improve the functioning, synergy, entrainment, and intergration of mind, brain and body. Without this stable sense of inner well-being, longevity and perfect health are out of the question. With it, they open up possibilities in an entirely new way.
