Hey fellow dwellers! Here are some tips for you to improve yourself while in front of the screen…Dwell on it.
During work, Keep a small part of your attention to your-self, your body, to the way you do things. HOW you do things. Don’t let your attention sink completely into the screen in front of you. This might be new to you, but you have a 6th sense called Proprioception. This highly under-rated sense is responsible for supervising the insides of our body and gives you input of your body parts – if you just listen to them. Not necessarily dramatic enlightening truths about the universe, but rather “oh, how stiff is my neck!”. Continue reading “Web-age, Part 3: Tips for Screen Dwellers”

“We should imitate bees”, Seneca wrote, “And we should keep in separate compartments whatever we have collected from our diverse reading, for things conserved separately keep better. Then, diligently applying all the resources of our native talent, we should mingle all the various nectars we have tasted, and then turn the into a sweet single substance, in such a way that, even if it is apparent where it originated, it appears quite different from what it was in its original state.” Memory, for Seneca as for Erasmus, was as much a crucible as a container. It was more than the sum of things remembered. It was something newly made, the essence of a unique self.
The basic rule is – whatever we can do for ourselves to improve our own health is more effective in the long run than what another person can do for us. Only when we have failed in our own efforts does the health care professional or clinical facility become necessary. Even then their value is temporary, to bring us back to the point of properly caring for ourselves…
There is no substitute for our own right living. It cannot be bought at any price and another person cannot provide it for us. As long as we are not living in harmony with our constitution we cannot expect to be really healed by any method…
One of the failings of modern culture is that it deprives us of the time that we need to take care of ourselves. We are caught in a process of expending energy but not renewing it. However, if we really value our well-being we will take the time. The responsibility is ours, and there is no one else to blame if we do not make the effort.
