Do you treat your body like a friend or a foe?




This wonderful servant of YOU, this miraculous mechanism that science has not yet been able to duplicate, will be your respectful servant for life if you love, respect, and work with its unique intrinsic functions.

Just think briefly of all the miracles your body performs for YOU, and you’re unaware.  In a state of perfect health, every organ, every nerve, every cell, every part of this intricate and efficient instrument… functions in perfect unison with one another, like a perfect harmony.

Some treat their bodies as their worst enemy, not their best friend. Some even treat their cars and physical possessions better than they treat their own bodies.

 Interestingly, most people will live in their bodies their entire lives and never fully comprehend how they should function. They often place a greater value in understanding what makes their automobile run better and their computers and cell phones run faster rather than trying to understand the TRUE and significant value of how their body functions work and can be improved. You eat, breathe, sleep,  jog, and love, and the wisdom within your body takes care of it for you, like an autopilot that converts ALL of this into what’s necessary for a body to function properly.

Listen to your body; it’s time to wake up.  Your body is not your foe. It is your friend; it’s a gift from nature to you. So learn to work with it and not against it, and stop treating it like a junk drawer by dumping junk food, toxic thoughts, and stressful emotions into it. Learn to listen and give it what it needs… Eat right, think and feel right, get enough rest, give it proper exercise, and most of ALL**love your body; become its best friend, and it will pay you back in high dividends down the road.

Simply put, by being in harmony with your body, you will be in harmony with nature itself, and since your body is part of nature, you will be in harmony with existence itself. Every breath you take, you take in all the atoms that existed in every individual before you, and that will continue after you.

Live to love YOUR body, and you will be in harmony with all that is present, here and now!

"Do You Believe or Question Every Thought That Comes to You?"

Ah, dear friend, the winds of thought are many, and their voices and images are loud and relentless. Yet, do not be deceived by their clamor. The thoughts you entertain are not your own; they are the echoes of others, whispers that drift from past generations, from teachers, parents, strangers, and even from the world around you.  But these thoughts, these fleeting phantoms, do not define you. They are borrowed, like a leaf carried by a current, pulled into your mind and momentarily resting there before the next gust of wind takes it away. You see, thoughts are not anchored in truth. They come and go like the clouds in the sky. One moment, they are shaped and thick with meaning; the next, they dissolve into nothingness.  If you stop to look at them, you will realize that thoughts themselves cannot be trusted—they are not fixed or permanent. They float by, like the passing seasons, changing their form and shifting their hue. And just like clouds, they hide the vast, unchanging ...

"The Power of Stillness: How to Build Inner Strength and Stay Centered in a Chaotic World"

  Ah, young seekers, gather round. You are on the cusp of understanding something profound, something that, if you grasp it, will change the way you see the world forever. So, listen closely, for this isn't the kind of wisdom you find in your textbooks, but something much older, deeper, and more powerful.  Imagine life as an ancient theater where the same timeless drama has unfolded since the beginning of time. But here's the secret: it’s always the same play, always the same drama, though the faces of the actors change. The characters' names shift with every generation, and the costumes are different, but the story, the themes, and the struggles are all the same. Birth, death, love, hate, joy, sorrow, victory, defeat… on and on. The drama doesn’t end. It never truly does.  Now, in this world, in this third-dimensional existence, we live caught between the forces of duality—the dance of opposites. Right and wrong, light and dark, success and failure, pleasure and pai...

"Unveil Your Best Self: 6 Daily Practices for Health, Peace, and Fulfillment

Ah, dear friends, take a moment to listen carefully. In this fast-paced and constantly evolving world, we often overlook the simple yet powerful practices that can help us lead a healthier, more fulfilled life.  As you journey toward mindfulness and self-discovery, Master Zhen offers these six daily practices designed to cultivate inner peace, strengthen your body, and nourish your spirit. Let us explore them together. 1. Rise with the Sun: Begin Your Day with Meditation and Gratitude As you open your eyes, welcome the quiet morning. Before the world's demands begin, take a few moments to center yourself free from urgency or expectation. Begin by tuning into your breath: inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for a count of 4, hold gently for 2 counts, then exhale softly through your mouth for a count of 6. Repeat this cycle several times (as best as you can without overexerting yourself), letting each breath grow more profound and more calming while your thoughts gradually sl...
