Holistic Health and the Microcosmic Universe

By Marie C. Barrett

We are talking about holistic health here, about how to maintain the body’s health in peak condition so it will serve you well in your healthy daily activities, and in your pursuit of higher-consciousness endeavours that differentiate humans from other animals that lack the holistic capacity to self-reflect.

Holistic health covers many, many aspects of life, beginning with your physical body, but including every part and expression of who and what you are as a human being. From the wider holistic health perspective, your awareness and ability to think creatively and to engage your emotions and feelings, relies to a great extent, on the wellness of your physical body. This is the essence of holistic health therefore: body, mind and spirit interacting and being mutually supportive.

When you look up at the sky at night, especially at new moon, and gaze at the stars in all their splendour, you are actually watching mostly space, the stuff between the stars, comets, galaxies and other celestial bodies. The amount of dense physical material: stars, planets and other cosmic matter, compared with the vast emptiness of space, is actually minimal; in fact infinitesimally small.

This immense universe sustains all life forms, as yet way beyond our experience, but perhaps not so far beyond our imagination, which can conceive of the possibility of the existence of myriad different life forms. The universe pulses life; it is the holistic life source of all living beings and of all creation. We cannot see this universal life source energy, but we know it is there, else the universe would disintegrate into non existence. This is the macro universe vision; now let’s turn to look at another universe.

Apply this holistic picture of the macro universe to your own body’s inner, micro, (tiny replica of the macro) universe. It too, consists mainly of space. The distance between atoms is vast, and between electrons within the atoms is astronomical by comparison. What holds all that matter together amongst all that space (emptiness)? Your body is a microcosm of the outer, macrocosmic universe. Within your body is a non see-able life source energy that sustains the whole body in existence and keeps it alive, pulsing with energy flows, physical health, emotions, feelings, thoughts and experiences. This is where any appreciation of holistic health must start.

Why are we speaking of the inner emptiness, or rather, the vastness of your body’s inner space? Because what happens within your body is not only a microcosm, but also a hologram of the outer universe; as without, so within. There is something within you that resonates in awe with the vast emptiness of space because you yourself are a living example of what you are in awe of.

Your consciousness is what sustains life in your body, not the matter, not the bones and organs and skin and brain. Your body’s health and well-being relies on your spirit, your consciousness and awareness of the micro-cosmic universe that is your body, just as the universal source energy consciousness supports and is, the universe in all its vastness and array.

I am not my body, but I have a body. I am not my mind, but I use my mind, I am not my emotions and feelings, but they serve me as a means of experience and expression. The I we speak of here, is identical in essence and nature to that life source energy that sustains the entire vast, life-filled outer universe, the vision of which, takes our breath away and numbs our brain as we try to comprehend its vastness, a task, of course, which is way beyond our capacity at present.

So when you come to consider how to create and maintain deep and true holistic health, turn your gaze within. Ask how you can feed not only your physical body with life-giving, energy-rich food, but how you can maintain your spiritual, mental and emotional health as well.

When you thus broaden your appreciation of who and what you are, this amazing micro-hologram of the universe, pulsing with life and potential, you will be standing with arms outstretched, ready to embrace a life that beckons you to experience intensely, create with purpose and enjoy with confident abandon because you know you cannot fail. As long as you can see the stars in the sky at night, you cannot fail at life but you can make your life experience as holistically rich, healthy and delectable as you choose.
