Health Factor Wealth Factor
Your mind-body has an organic memory of perfect health.
There is no known cure for the common cold, yet folks do not usually die from the common cold. They fully expect to recover and to enjoy a normal healthy life.
There is no known cure for cancer, yet not everyone who has cancer dies as a result.
These facts clearly demonstrate that although the cure for these disorders is not known to medical science, this does not mean that there is no cure.
So what is it that cures these things in these cases?
It is the same thing that heals a cut on your finger, and it is the only thing that can cure anything.
It is the natural intelligence of your mind-body.
Conventional and alternative medical interventions and treatments do have a role to play in the healing process. Yet medical treatments do not cure your disorders; what the treatments do is create an environment and circumstances where the intelligence of your mind-body can heal itself.
How does you mind-body do it?
It dances the Space-Flow 2-Step.
1) Space: where the natural intelligence of your mind-body can operate. The abc’s of Space are: a) Mental space that comes out of understanding, b) Physical space that comes out of proper care and a healthy mind-body environment, c) The union of these two as optimum space.
2) Flow: as the current of your mind-body’s natural intelligence. The abc’s of Flow are: a) Mental flow as the right information that flowers as understanding, b) Physical flow as actions that stimulate the current, c) the union of these two as optimum flow.
The monitor for how well you understand and apply the Space-Flow 2-Step is the flow of your breath. This is because the link between your mind and body is your breath, and, Breath is Life.
The Space-Flow 2-Step is also your key wealth factor.
Space: now that you understand that your health factor is also your wealth factor you get to dance. Flow: choose the current that you want to focus the natural intelligence of your mind-body on and Dance: and-a-one, and-a-two and-a-one, and-a-two.

The Relationship between Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Hypnosis
Each one of these healing methods is thousands of years old. The exact origins of meditation and self-hypnosis are not known. We do know that Yoga existed over 5,000 years ago in the Indus Valley. Despite the evidence that each of these methods creates peace of mind, within the practitioner, they have only recently gained worldwide attention for their results.
Meditation is often linked to Yoga, since it is one of the many aspects of Yoga. However, meditation is also a separate entity and has existed in almost every corner of the earth for a very long time. Proponents of self-hypnosis can make similar claims and healers have successfully used this method for a variety of ailments that afflict mankind.
All of these methods have existed despite fundamentalist efforts to prevent them. Why should fundamentalists care about Yoga, meditation, and self-hypnosis? The keyword is “self.” If you can control your mental, physical, and spiritual health, you can regulate your own life. This strikes fear into the hearts of those who work very hard to regulate and control the masses.
Ask anyone who practiced Yoga, but has lived under a suppressive form of government, about his or her experience. Over the past 15 years, I have met many former Soviet Block citizens, and learned so much from them. Many of them shared their experiences about practicing Yoga, martial arts, meditation, self-hypnosis, and religion in secret. Families practiced together secretly to avoid drawing attention to them.
Attention to yourself is not desired in any suppressive society. To become the custodian of a healing method is one thing, but to risk your life for it, is truly brave. For this, and many other reasons, these people are the unsung heroes for freedom, self-improvement, and healing methods.
For those of us who live in a free society, we often take for granted that you can practice Yoga, meditation, self-hypnosis, or any other form of self-healing, without fear of reprisal. You can point yourself in a positive direction and pursue it freely. No one is holding you back from improving yourself and you don’t have to hide in a closet to practice.
The next time you make an excuse about not having enough time to practice Yoga, meditation, religion, or self-hypnosis, think of the people who have to put their lives on the line for a little personal freedom.
Lastly, you can always make an appointment with yourself. Write it down in your appointment book, on your laptop, or anywhere else you will see it. Make an appointment with yourself to practice Yoga, meditation, or self-hypnosis and remember those who gave their lives for the freedoms you have.
