SOS - Science Or Spirituality...
I had always thought it important to base life on two quite important platforms; Individual philosophy, and solid science. The two are often challenging in their co- existence. On the one hand science can not prove everything, and on the other hand Philosophy or a spirituality, can not solve all the difficult questions about life.
It is often a conundrum, of where we find our own selves between these two pillars.
Many practices embrace the two.
Yoga embraces the science of movement, with the complexity of bone, muscle, ligament, tendons, force & flow, anatomical understanding of placement of structure, and its influence on organ systems. Simultaneously drawing on the practice of breath / inner awareness, and observation of 'The process occurring at that moment.
I believe all humans have within them, a capacity to link the proveable ( Science) with the unprovable ( Spirituality or personal Philosophy.)
Breath and movement link all. Breath connects us not only to our central nervous system, but to the personal power of our own living energy, that which we hold in our life existence, from birth, until passing.
Each and every person has innate capacity to attain peace, strength, physical, mental & emotional health, spiritual connection & enrichment, through a practice that embraces movement & breath.
Find your best expression of movement & breath, practice x3 weekly, minimum.
Science has given us incredible things throughout human history, but the indomitable expression of the human spirit, expression of the self through philosophical or spiritual understanding, will never fit in a neat happy scientifically analysed box Therein lays the magic of both pillars. Both give incredible gifts to human life.
