“For us to become whole and healthy, we must balance the body, mind, and spirit. We need to take good care of our bodies. We need to have a positive mental attitude about ourselves and about life. And we need to have a strong spiritual connection. When these three things are balanced, we rejoice in…
“It has been said: “Stillness is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad translation.” Stillness is really another word for space.
