What is my health worth?

- Sylvia J. Harral Sylvia J. Harral, M.ED., N.C. , is the Education Director for Golden Sunrise Nutraceuti­cal, Inc.

Yesterday, I was asked to make a decision regarding the investment I’ve made in a local company that provides the most amazing products for building health. Would I rather have my investment money returned to me and see the company shut down, or would I choose to leave my money invested no matter what happens to the company?

This was a serious matter for me. It took me a whole 90 seconds to come up with my answer; however, the thought process I went through on my way to the answer is more than I can write down. Here are a couple of those thoughts.

Our health is expressed in many levels. We think of our physical health first and foremost; however, health begins with our spiritual beliefs. As those beliefs come to us, the mental and emotional parts of ourselves become affected. When the beliefs reach our physical bodies, the affect expresses as physical symptoms and conditions.

Those who understand this phenomenon can read the reflection of our beliefs and emotions in our physical bodies. An example may start by believing you are unworthy of the abundance the Creator has provided. That belief may lead to mentally telling yourself you’re not good enough. Feeling “less than” may lead to emotional shyness that would protect you from being criticized for not being good enough. The protection techniques may keep you from being free to take care of yourself in ways that would be most beneficial. The body then learns to respond to the need to be protected and lack of trust by hardening the skin and connective tissues. As the symptoms progress a diagnosis of scleroderm­a may be forthcomin­g.

Once our physical health becomes affected, the social aspects of our health begin experienci­ng changes. A person with scleroderm­a may stop doing activities that required physical flexibilit­y and fluid movement. This affects social aspects of the activity; like the inability to participat­e in your sport will force you out of your social community. The affect then continues on out into your environmen­t. Because you don’t socialize as much, you may not do your projects together that involve cleaning up your environmen­t.

In this way, all the aspects of our health are connected like the “ankle bone connected to the leg bone, and the leg bone connected to the knee bone”, etc. Every aspect carries value and requires energy and effort.

If I had all the money in the World, but I didn’t have my health; what would I have? I would probably be living in pain, fear, lack of motivation, frustratio­n and who knows what all else. I would have NOTHING!

If I had not one penny to my name, but I had my health; what would I have? I would be joyful with freedom to move and do, be creative, imagine new ways of being, learning new dances, etc. I would have EVERYTHING!

My conclusion was that after having lost my health and my life then having them given back to me, their value is greater than anything else. The investment­s I’ve made in my health pay off every day in every way. It was a “nobrainer” to say, “I don’t want my money back! I want the products that secure my health.”

Thank you Golden Sunrise Nutraceuti­cal, Inc. for all you’re going through to ensure that we continue to have the special technology you program into every product. The health we’ve all built up is now dwindling without you. It’s time for us to learn to stand for what we know to be true. When it comes to our health, nothing is worth more. We stand for health!

Until then … TAKE CHARGE! … Sylvia
