ARE YOU WHAT YOU EAT?

Have you heard  "You are what you eat"? Let's change that to "Your body is what you eat and drink".
What you "Are" is a combination of what you think you are and what you are not.
 I understand that to some people I may have a strange way of thinking, because I often think of my body like a little universe, all the tiny individual cells of each organ, muscle, gland etc.,  a microcosm within a macrocosm. Each small cell has an intelligence and is programmed to perform a function. All these cells working together for the common good of our individual health. Like tiny employees working for one big company with many different departments!
Our cells are made of the elements that we ingest, and the air we breathe. These elements are the same particles that make up the whole cosmos.
The way we think creates vibrations at the cellular level and can affect their ability to function. I look at this like the weather. We have sunny clear days and cloudy or stormy days. Then there are disastrous hurricanes and tsunamis.
A simple analogy; when we are feeling love or happy we are generally relaxed mentally,emotionally and physically the the nervous system is calm, heart rate and digestion are good. Relaxation creates enough space between individual cells to receive energy and function at ease.
 If we become angry or worried our nervous system becomes agitated the heart rate goes up, the stomach tenses, digestion becomes poor, muscles tense all over the body.  The tension limits the space between the cells often compressing the cells reducing their ability receive energy to function. Within these two simple examples there are many more profound chain reactions that occur within the cellular level.
 When I observe my physical body this way it effects my entire awareness and I start to understand that I am in more control of my personal health than I initially realized. I have more compassion for my cells and what they need in order to work harmoniously. If I look at them like employees then I want them to be happy so that my company is going to do well. I take more interest in what their needs are by listening to their alerts and signals when something isn't working as it should be.
If I am thinking this way about my own individual body & mind then I can't help but think about the bigger picture, the people around me and the world and universe we live in. It's a chain reaction. Do you have a similar view? Did I give you something to think about?
Yours in health and happiness
