Credo for Holistic Health: 'Living the Way of the Elegant Spirit' By Maraya Chebat and Esper Dowling [This was contributed for the SanibLakas CHOSEN Sites project my the team of Maraya Chebat and Esper Dowling of the Ginhawa Wellness Center at Earthlite in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines. Ms. Chebat is the author of the book Core Energy, about which she has also been giving seminars. And Ms. Dowling, was at the time of this writing was Ginhawa's "volunteer manager," and was also head of the Philippine Federation for Natural Family Planning (NFNFP).] I BELIEVE personal values must be based upon the truth of my origin. I am a spirit. The Universal Principles serve as guidelines for creation, cause and effect, what is in one is in the whole, manifestation is the result of intention. Each person who enters my life is a reflection of some aspect of my being. Likewise, I am also a reflection of each person. All artificial barriers that separate the Essential Oneness of Life should be disregarded. Boundaries now present all the other kingdoms of life -- animal, mineral and plant -- are also artificial barriers, and they prevent respect, interspecies communication and emotional bonding. All life has consciousness. What is in one is in the whole. I believe that I should I apply this teaching to my life and all that I create, realizing that every positive and negative action I put into motion affects the whole of Life I BELIEVE time and space are non-existent in the dimension of thought and thoughts have power. Thoughts travel in an instant. Because thoughts are powerful, I need to develop a quality-control check-up on myself on a regular basis. When I feel that too much negativity is present in my system, I will do something to heal myself immediately. I will pay attention to the law of cause and effect, and study the consequences of my actions, words and thoughts, realizing at all times that I am the creator behind that which I am studying I believe in healing my own healing myself of any addictions to violence in any and every form, actions and attitudes, words, habits and thoughts. The violent side of my nature creates my violent politics, weapons, and all violent human actions and interactions. I therefore need and seek to study my desires in my life that control me, and strive to release myself from anything artificial that can exert power over me, like drugs, alcohol, negative habits, fears -- anything that causes me to lose power. I BELIEVE in healing my own healing myself of any addictions to violence in any and every form, actions and attitudes, words, habits and thoughts. The violent side of my nature creates my violent politics, weapons, and all violent human actions and interactions. I therefore need and seek to study my desires in my life that control me, and strive to release myself from anything artificial that can exert power over me, like drugs, alcohol, negative habits, fears -- anything that causes me to lose power. At all times I am healing. My body is reacting every second to my thoughts and feelings, emotions and experiences. Health is not a permanent condition unless I create it so each day. I must take time to heal, and I will do it gently. Healing through forced will alone, through compulsion without self-compassion, is a form of self-inflicted violence. I shall not resent my body or any of its systems or organs for breaking down. I will learn from the experience so that it does not have to be repeated. I will trust the process of healing; it has an intelligence of its own. I will learn health and my well-being as my first priority. I will honor myself. I resolve to set time aside each day for my spiritual practice. Meditation and prayer are essential . I will learn to be still and hear the inner voice of my soul. UPON THIS BELIEF, I will be a loving person. Unconditional love requires the ultimate of efforts and it reaps the ultimate of rewards. The decision to be spiritually elegant is worth all the efforts it requires. One reaps the rewards of health, wisdom and compassion, and becomes an instrument of peace within one's own healthy person and well beyond.
