Health - or disease - is an effect, the offspring of our conscious choices in the six essential areas of what we eat, what we drink, how we rest, how we exercise, what we breathe, and the grandaddy of them all - what we think. As a practical matter, none of us is in complete control of our circumstances or enviornment. However, each of us, as conscious, thinking, rational adults, is in control of our interpretation of our life events. By interpreting each incident - favorable or unfavorable - as an experience through which we learn, we provide health-enhancing stmuli for our perfect-responding bodies. In our journey through health and life, we sometimes become "stuck" in ruts of phychic mud, such as fear, guilt, hopelessness, frustration, anxiety, and anger, that lead to disease. As Dr. M. Ted Morter Jr., explains, disease is an effect of physiological responses to these and other negative emotions when we fail to learn the lessons presented to us. Flourishing health, on the other hand, is the physiological effect of positive thoughts and attitudes, which in turn allow for synchronization and union with the Universal Intelligence. DYNAMIC HEALTH is the result of three decades of study and clinical experience - experience that has reinforced Dr. Morter's conviction of the validity of the body-mind-energy connection that has skirted the fringes of healing for years, and that not only makes self-directed health possible but achievable. Dr. Morter presents concepts and recommendations that have proven effective in helping real people to handle stress better, to feel healthierand better about themselves, to feel more alive and energetic and enjoy life more - a journey to whole health - DYNAMIC HEALTH
A different way to look at the idea of health. It's been a while since I read this, but one thing I remember clearly from it is that the body is not meant to be perfectly healthy. Rather, it's meant to survive the moment. Interesting read.
Dr. Morter does an excellent job of explaining the science of how the mind and body work together. It is an important concept if you truly want to have good health.
