"Health is identical with authentic power. It is the alignment of the personality with the soul. The soul is that part of you that reaches for harmony, cooperation, and reverence for life.
An authentically empowered human is one who is living a meaningful, joyful, gratitude-filled life.
Consider someone in her midthirties who has a healthy body, runs eight miles a day, and with every quantitative assessment can prove that she is healthy. Yet she is miserable, and no one wants to be near her.
Contrast her with someone who has a physical body that is decaying of AIDS yet who is radiant, knows why he is alive, and is living his life gloriously. Everyone wants to be with him.
Who is healthy and who is ill?
From the perception of sacred medicine, the individual whose body is dysfunctional but whose life is filled with meaning is more healthy than the one who can run a marathon but who lives in rage and sees herself as a victim."
