IT’S FREE AND CAN HELP YOU LIVE
LONGER, BE HAPPIER, AND ENJOY
STRESS FREE LIVING.

All living creatures breathe. To breathe in Latin is the verb

spiro, which is where we get the word ‘spirit’ from. If you
want to be more healthy and ‘spiritual’, then learn to breathe
effectively. It is often the case that people of a spiritual nature
take part in activities that improve their breathing such as
meditation, yoga, walking and exercise. Leaning to breathe
effectively is one of the most simple and effective ways to
improve your emotional and physical health.

Strange as it may seem, millions of dollars of scientific

research has been carried out illustrating that the number one
thing we can do for our health is to keep breathing. It has been
shown that if we breathe deeply and consistently, we cannot
maintain depression or anxiety; breathing keeps us healthy
and happy. Check out my Seven Rounds of Seven breathing
technique later in this article, which I do every day to stay
healthy.

Effective breathing regenerates the cells and tissues and

teaches your system how to relax properly. It helps us sleep
well and rejuvenates the whole body and mind by stirring up
and re-arranging all the necessary ions of the body. Proper
breathing also facilitates digestion and elimination.

Dr. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Prize Winner proved disease

cannot exist in an oxygen rich alkaline environment.
Therefore Cancer and many other diseases are caused
simply by people becoming acidic and creating a low oxygen
environment in the body.

3 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 BREATHE IT.

Here is a simple technique I use daily to improve

my health through breathing. I call it Seven
Rounds of Seven.

Seven Rounds of Seven – breathe in for 7

seconds, hold it for 7 seconds and breathe out
for 7 seconds. An easy way to do this is while
you are walking, as you can use the rhythm of
your steps to count along with. Incidentally,
walking (another of the Principles of Health) is an
incredible way to open your diaphragm, expand
your lungs and push lymph through your system.
These processes together have the effect of
keeping you healthy, energetic and disease-
free. Walking and breathing helps cleanse
your internal organs, keeps you energetic and
oxygenates your blood.

But breathing effectively isn’t quite enough

because you may be breathing dirty air so …

CLEAN IT.

One of the best ways to purify and electrify

your air is to have plants in your home and
office. In this day and age, many of us live in an
environment full of airborne toxins. These seep
out of almost everything we buy or experience
such as new furniture, carpets, computers, paint,
smoke, cars and more. As we breathe these
products, we concentrate the toxins in our blood.

4 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH 4

 THE WORST KINDS OF KILLERS PLANTS ARE MOTIONLESS CLEANERS WHO ONLY
ARE SILENT AND INVISIBLE NEED WATER AND SOIL AS PAYMENT FOR THEIR
INEXHAUSTIBLE WORK
It has been shown that common toxins such as, Benzene and Trichloroethylene
cause respiratory and psychological disturbances, liver and kidney damage, Studies have been conducted of 50 household plants to measure their ability to
asthma and diseases to the blood and lymphatic systems. One of the simplest remove chemicals from a controlled chamber over the span of 24 hours. Some
things you can do to protect yourself from these is breathing clean, electrified air removed up to 80% of Benzene, Trichloroethylene and Formaldehyde during
effectively and regularly. that period.

The most successful plants were English Ivy, the Money plant and the Peace
Lily, so next time you’re out shopping, get some of these species for your home
and office. In addition, plants give out oxygen, which makes them a double
whammy health kick. Remember, nature didn’t happen by accident!

So, is breathing clean air effective enough? Well, there’s one more thing you
can do, that is to …

5 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 ENERGIZE IT.

Science has proven that if air moves 5

meters, it becomes more electrified.

To avoid many kinds of congestive lung

and sinus problems, simply open up the
doors and windows to your house for 10–20
minutes each day, regardless of how hot or
cold it is outside. Do the same thing in your
car by rolling down the window to let the air
circulate. Some of us live in very hot climates
WE’RE FANS OF FANS where an air conditioner is a regular tool –
Using a ceiling fan (or even a desk fan) is an extremely effective way of just make sure that you air the house out
cleaning the air. It works by moving the air, which gets it to rub against
twice per day and when you’re driving, leave
itself, creating an electric charge. This has the dual effect of moving the
toxins in the air so they can be blown out the window, as well as creat- the window open a little to let the air circulate
ing a positive charge on the fan blades. with your air conditioner on.
Have you ever wondered how a moving fan blade can have dust stick
to it – of all the places in the room, this is the last place you’d expect it,
isn’t it? Well, dust is negatively charged and due to the movement of air,
the blades become positively charged; so like a magnet, the dust gets
stuck to the blades. This makes your job much easier, as you can wipe
the dust and toxins off the blades every few days or at least once per
week to make sure the whole process continues most effectively.

 Water
NATURE’S BLOOD.

When any living creature becomes devoid of blood, it dies.

When a plant is not watered, it dies.
When rivers or lakes dry up, the local habitat dies.
When land is void of water, it becomes a desert and anything
on it dies.

Water is nature’s blood and all food either contains water or

has water involved in its production.

I urge you to read those statements again, pause and

consider their importance.

WATER IS THE NUMBER 1 MOST

IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN CONSUME
FOR YOUR BODY.

8 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 SOME OF THE BENEFITS AND
EFFECTS OF WATER

1. Water helps the earth (or your skin, joints and

muscles) stay soft and supple.

2. Water provides the raw material for all

organisms (or your organs and blood).

3. Water promotes the healing process by

bringing nutrients and taking waste to and from
places it is required.

4. Water maintains rivers (or arteries and vessels)

which get rid of waste material or excess
nutrients.

5. Water helps maintain an alkaline environment

which prevents toxic waste, dis-ease and
unnecessary deterioration of the land (your
body, organs and brain).

Since studies show that our body is over 70%

water, it should hopefully be clear from this
illustration, that water consumption is fundamental
to a good quality of health – for the land and also
for your body. All the benefits of water can be
yours by simply raising a large glass of clean, crisp,
natural water to your lips, 8–12 times per day.

9 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 GET IT IN TO YOU – DRINK REGULARLY
…and no, I’m not talking about alcohol!

As you can see, in nature, if water doesn’t regularly fall from the sky or flow from
its sources, rivers dry up and the land starts to suffer. The good news is that
even if you’re not drinking much water at the moment, starting a habit of drinking
8-12 or more large glasses of water per day will begin having an effect on you
very quickly. You will sleep better, heal better, feel more alert, and toxins will
speed up their path through your body.

How much water do you lose per day?

Studies show that every day we lose water in the following ways:

Method Approx. Amount

Sweat 500ml
Breath 250ml
Eliminate (in solids and urine) 1400ml
Total 2.15 litres

It’s not an exact science, however, if you aim to drink at least 3 litres of water per
day, or 8 glasses, then you’ll be doing well.

WATER MEANS WATER

…not tea, not coffee, not cola or anything else but WATER

On the flip side, if you choose not to drink clean, natural water regularly, just be
aware that like in nature, when water stagnates, it becomes sluggish and loses
oxygen. Often, it warms up and becomes more toxic and when it happens to
blood in our arteries, that is what causes heart attacks.

As much as you may love your coffee, cola and other drinks, your 8 glasses
of water per day can only include pure water. Be careful of products that call
themselves water but are obviously not. In some countries, there are products
called Vitamin Water, which contain over 30g of sugar per bottle, which is only 9g
less than a can of Coca-Cola. That sugar is pure refined sugar with no nutrient or
vitamin content and particularly toxic to your system, as is all refined sugar – the
number 1 most highly addictive legal drug on the market (grab a copy of Sugar
Blues or similar books if you want to know the truth about sugar).

10 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH


DO I NEED TO FILTER MY WATER?
Depending on where you live, it is likely that your tap water
contains ingredients you don’t want to have in your body.
These include pharmaceuticals (including oestrogen),
fluoride, chlorine, and perhaps even cocaine!
But aren’t fluoride and chlorine good for my water and me?
There are debates as to whether these chemicals are
actually beneficial for us, and it is sometimes difficult to
know what the true answer is; however, I would ask you to
simply consider the following and make your own mind up.
11 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
FLUORIDE
Hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is one of three
compounds often used to fluoridate water. It is a
bi-product of the production of hydrogen fluoride
and the production of phosphate fertilizers. Most
hexafluorosilicic acid is used for the production of
aluminium metal.
Some of the derivatives of fluoride, such as
hydrofluoric acid, have qualities such as being the
precursor to numerous pharmaceuticals such as
Prozac as well as Teflon and have the ability to
dissolve glass – something some of the strongest
acids on the planet can’t do! In addition, if you
were to breathe in hydrogen fluoride gas, it would
immediately and permanently damage your lungs
and the corneas of your eyes.
It is also known that the Nazis used fluoride to
sedate and sterilise inmates, ; it was originally
used over 120 years ago (and is still an ingredient)
in insecticides and rat poisons and is part of the
raw material for Sarin gas, a weapon of mass
destruction.
It is also considered slightly less toxic than arsenic
and just a little more toxic than lead.
CHLORINE
Without going on about it, chlorine is a type of
bleach. It is used because it is highly toxic and kills
everything in the water. Imagine drinking bleach.
 BUT AREN’T FLUORIDE AND CHLORINE
GOOD FOR MY WATER AND ME?

You make up your own mind if fluoride or chlorine is good for you, by
a basic water filter however, I can tell you that I filter my water. At a
minimum, but seriously consider filter systems for your household
water (including your shower) and minimise your consumption of
water in plastic bottles – that’s a whole other story!

Fasting and Enemas are two other important ways you can use water
to cleanse, and I’ll talk about them more specifically on tylertolman.

 Sunshine
ANOTHER OF NATURE’S FREE GIFTS.
Before delving in to the mysteries and miracles of the sun, perhaps
close your eyes, take a deep breath and cast your mind back to any
time you can remember being in the sun and feeling it radiating
across your face and body. Just recall how it feels warming your skin
and relaxing your muscles.

No doubt even the thought of that moment has lightened your spirit
and helped you feel more prepared to take on life’s little challenges.
The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun as a symbol of the divine
and recognized its power and amazing properties to sustain our body,
minds and spirits in perfect health..

The word ‘Ra’ is believed to mean sun or creator and the origins of
‘RAw’ food diets are perhaps better viewed from the perspective of
‘sun’ food as opposed to ‘uncooked’ food. Raw food diets, which are
supplemented with warmed or heated foods during colder months,
can strengthen the constitution for the climate.

Sunshine stimulates the personality and attitude of animals and

humans – even plants and flowers respond to the sun. A grey dreary
day can sour many people; however, when the sun breaks through the
clouds, a new burst of energy surges through all those touched.

Sunshine speeds up the circulation, helps the lymphatic system and

actually stimulates the heart. The sun’s rays build Vitamin D in the
skin, which motivates the circulation of blood.

15 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH


Sunlight provides one of the most
natural remedies for nervous people,
who may sometimes feel anxiety, worry
or frustration. The sun’s soothing
rays help relax nerves; millions of tiny
nerve endings absorb a range of solar
ingredients, which nourish our body
through and through. In fact, light
therapy is specifically prescribed for
certain seasonal emotional problems.
Sunshine acts as a tonic to boost
circulation and send streams of warm
oxygen-carrying blood cells to the
extremities. The ultraviolet rays of the
sun help increase white blood cell count,
which provides immunity from infection
and health restoration through natural
processes.
16 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
ALL YOU NEED IS 40 MINUTES OF SUN PER DAY
TO PROMOTE AND MAINTAIN GREAT HEALTH
More than at any other time in history, we live the majority of our lives inside and
under artificial light. In addition, when we do venture outside, we usually hide our
bodies from the sun with hats, sunglasses, creams and lotions. Research shows
that sunlight from the full-spectrum rays of daylight is crucial to the human body.
A plant with all the right nutrients and water, but no sun, will perish.
Sunlight has been found to stimulate the human endocrine system, which is how
positive mental and physical health is maintained. People can suffer considerable
side effects if they are not exposed to sunlight. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
is a specific condition directly related to exposure to daylight and it identifies
individuals who suffer depression, low energy and mood swings. Light Therapy is
very successful in treating this condition and for most of us, all we have to do is to
get out for a walk in the sun to boost our systems.
RHYTHM OF THE SUN
Sunlight regulates our body’s natural rhythm of activity. This primary system is
called the circadian rhythm. Our body’s internal clock is triggered by this ongoing
cyclical routine of light-to-darkness.
 When we sense the morning light, our heart rate, blood pressure
and body temperature automatically begin to rise and the hormone,
cortisol, which helps defend the body against stress, starts to increase
during sleep time. The cortisol levels peak after sunrise; this is when
our heart rate and body temperature continue to rise in expectation of
the day’s activity. Adrenaline takes over and melatonin (the chemical
that helps you sleep) vanishes by the time the sun is comfortably rising
in the sky.

As simple and as ridiculous as it sounds, numerous scientific and

medical studies highlight the positive relationship of sunlight exposure
and Vitamin D in reducing the possibility, effects and potency of a
number of cancers. Exposing as much of our bodies as possible for
15-20 mins of sun on each side, each day, can have a highly beneficial
impact on the possibility and gravity of cancer.

SUNSHINE BRINGS LIFE.

The vibrations, or waves, of energy from the sun affect our being at a
number of levels. Just as food can be tasty (one level), it can also help
provide nutrients for your body (another level). So, when you think of
the sun, realise that the sensation of heat on your body is just one way
it affects you. As you now know, when you are standing in the sun, the
effects are to stimulate your white blood cell production, Vitamin D
production and blood flow..

SUN AND STAR GAZING

One of the most precious things we have lost over the years, along
with walking and drinking enough water each day, is gazing at the sun,
the moon and the stars. Sunlight (directly or through reflection) is a
nutrient-dense brain snack. Direct sunlight into the eyes in the first
hour of sunrise and the last hour of sunset causes the pineal gland or
the ancient eye to secrete chemicals that activate regions of the brain
that otherwise lie dormant and can’t be activated any other way.

Many Australians have heard the saying Slip, Slop, Slap, as it has been a catchphrase for skin cancer
prevention for many years; it refers to slipping on a shirt, slopping on sunscreen and slapping on a hat.
This advice may have once been considered the best course of action; however, it is now becoming
more and more apparent that the chemicals in many sunscreens are detrimental to our health and may
actually cause cancer. On a practical level, covering our largest organ (our skin) in any artificial and toxic
chemicals to the point where it can’t breathe is not a healthy activity. In addition, hiding ourselves from
the sun with creams or clothing means we are depriving ourselves of the crucial production of vitamin D
which has the ability to help prevent up to 77% of all cancers.
If you do spend a lot of time in the sun, use coconut oil natural SPF 4-8 there are sunscreens available
that use many more natural additives and it would be wise to look in to the best available to you and your
family.
Regarding sun burn, it is better for your body to get lower amounts of sun exposure for longer periods of
time than a high-level blast from the sun. Avoid burning your skin, and realise that there must be balance;
too much of a good thing will always be uncomfortable.

SIGNS AND GIFTS FROM THE UNIVERSE.
Whole means complete.

When something is complete, it is not lacking or deficient. In Latin,

whole translates as universus.

Universal means all-reaching, all-pervading and relating to the

universe, and that’s exactly what whole foods are.

There is a rule in nature that if something is not required, over time,

it will disappear. Animals having predators often have mechanisms
to detect threats such as directional ears (for example, cats). If
those threats disappear, nature will eventually allow certain traits
to disappear and strengthen the other attributes that are strongest
and most required. Monkeys have directional ears, as well; however,
that has evolved out of our species so we no longer have them. FYI,
the Woolnerian tip, named by Charles Darwin, is present in about
10% of the population and is a leftover of directional ears (you can
feel it as a rough patch if you run your finger around the inside of
the rim of your ear in the position of about 10 o’clock on your right
ear). The reason I share this is because fruits and vegetables have
the same thing.

It seems so obvious when mentioned; however, have you ever

wondered why a peach looks like a peach with its soft skin and
single stone, or why a watermelon is large with a hard outside and a
red mushy centre? Or maybe why a walnut is found inside a strong
shell and has two sections joined in the middle and celery is long
and snaps when bent in half? Well, the answer to all this is Whole
Food Signatures.

 STEPS TO TAKE WITH
WHOLE FOODS
To improve your health and prevent illnesses, increase
your intake of Whole foods until they are all you con-
sume. Whole foods are considered as anything which
grows below, in or above the ground and has not been
processed or cooked above 46 degrees Celsius.
Whole foods include: fruits, vegetables nuts, seeds ,
grains; , tubers, legumes and funguses.
THINGS WHICH ARE NOT
WHOLE FOODS
Meat (including fish), processed cheese, processed
milk, processed cream, ice cream, sodas and any-
thing carbonated. Bread and anything made with flour
such as cereals, pastas, crackers, cake, pies, cookies,
bagels, pitas, wraps, muffins, popcorn, energy bars,
rice, all fried, all commercial candy and chocolate,
coffee, chips, etc.
I CAN’T GET ENOUGH VARIETY OF
WHOLE FOODS INTO MY DIET
Some people find that they cannot get enough variety
of whole foods into their diet to get the full benefits.
Leave this studied the diets of numerous cultures
from around the world and discovered many cultures
had Sacred Meals. The Ancient Egyptians referred to
their meal as Manna, Pythagoras referred to his meal
as the Meal of Hercules and just like us, Daniel from
the old testament of the Bible called his meal Pulse.

PULSE is the perfect SUPER FOOD solution to getting a huge variety of Whole foods into your diet, and it contains 28 incredible ingredients. I’ll be talking more about this later

ACCORDING TO THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS,
SPIRIT WITHOUT MATTER IS EXPRESSIONLESS
AND MATTER WITHOUT SPIRIT IS
MOTIONLESS. WITHOUT THE USE OF YOUR
BODY, YOU ARE SIMPLY A MIND. WITHOUT A
MIND, YOU ARE SIMPLY A PIECE OF MEAT.
The word exercise comes from the Latin exercere, meaning to
drive on or to keep.

When we exercise our bodies, we increase blood and lymph flow,

our oxygen intake goes up and joints and muscles are moved. This
results in our organs working more efficiently, and a cleansing of the
body combined with a strengthening of all muscles involved. Also,
remember that it has been shown that diseases such as cancer slow
and sometimes stop their growth in highly alkaline or oxygenated
environments and exercise helps do both of these things for you.

If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it

When we exercise our muscles, they are used to lift weight or move
the body part involved; since that part is being used, it continues to
grow. Atrophy (the action of natural wasting) is an active part of being
human. If you’ve ever known someone who has been incapacitated
due to an accident, you’ll be aware that the body parts they couldn’t
use deteriorated. As with everything in nature, we’re either growing or
we’re dying. Plants and trees are either in a state of growth, usually by
adding new leaves, branches, flowers and fruit or they’re dying. (Even
in winter, plants continue to grow, but this growth is slower as they
have to use their reserves till the warmer months come.)

 SLOW AND SLEEPY VS ENERGISED
AND ACTIVE
Our bodies are a bit like a dynamo. Have you noticed that people who are
active, have even more energy for life compared to people who sit around
and complain all the time and hardly lift a finger to activate their muscles
and organs? It is unfortunate, however, that people tend to get in to habits
and without a significant event happening in their lives to wake them up, they
often remain that way until something goes wrong.

There are two types of exercise: internal and external. Both are very impor-
tant for health and examples are shown below:

INTERNAL EXTERNAL
EXERCISES EXERCISE
Slow, deep rhythmic breathing; Weight lifting; Cycling;
Rebounding; Brisk walking; Running; Active Sports; YOUR DAILY PILL

NO NEED, THERE’S A GYM OUTSIDE YOUR
FRONT DOOR.
Walking is the simplest, cheapest and most convenient way to
exercise. These four simple habits will help turn up the intensity of
a walk to burn more fat if that is your goal.

1. SPEED UP
Strolling at a moderate pace has important health benefits
but brisk walking is a better way to lose weight. If you find it
tough to talk or you’re covering around 3km in 30 minutes,
then that’s a great pace.

Walking fast allows you to cover more ground and work more
muscles than walking slow. At a very quick pace, you’ll burn
almost as many calories as you do while jogging, with less
stress on your body.

Form is important; the right posture helps you move fast-

er. Here’s what to do: Walk tall and stay relaxed. Bend your
elbows at 90-degree angles and keep them close to your
body. Swing your arms forcefully so that your hands are level
with your breastbone on the upswing and almost brush your
hips on the downswing. Instead of lengthening your steps,
keep your stride short and quick. Land on your heels and roll
through your foot to push off firmly with your toes.

Get some good quality shoes with good impact support if

you’re walking regularly or walk on the beach.

 2. INVEST MORE TIME
Most people think that walking three times a week for 30 minutes at a
time is the magic weight-loss formula. Researchers found that people
who were successful at weight loss did so by walking about an hour a
day, almost every day of the week.

If you’re already walking three days a week, gradually build to six or

seven. At the same time, extend your walks to 45 minutes or an hour.

If this sounds overwhelming, remember that you can get roughly

the same benefits by splitting your walk into three or four 15-minute
walks throughout the day.

3. VARY YOUR PACE

Try alternating between a brisk pace and short periods at an
even faster pace (you should still be able to speak, but only a few
breathless words). You’ll not only increase your weight loss and
general health, but you’ll also strengthen your cardiovascular system
and become a faster walker over time.

Two easy ways to change your pace include: if you walk in your
neighbourhood, try changing your pace at every other street sign or
park bench. If you walk on a track, walk one speed on the straights
and another on the curves.

The other option is using a watch to time yourself – one minute

fast followed by two minutes moderate, gradually working up to one
minute fast for every one minute moderate.

4. WALK UP AN INCLINE
Another way to burn more calories is to add an incline or stairs to your
walk. This not only increases your calorie expenditure but also tones
the muscles in your buttocks and thighs because it demands more
from your legs.

Find a natural hill or use the stairs in a local park or stadium. You can REMEMBER, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK,
also use a treadmill and adjust the incline.
IF YOU DON’T KEEP MOVING, YOU’LL GET RUN OVER!

It’s Tuesday on an average week … you’ve been to work and been
doing the same old same old. You get home and prepare something
ordinary to eat and after consuming a little too much again, you sit
down with a sweet desert and a drink to watch some TV and just do
‘nothing’. Your energy levels are low and the thought of sleeping is
highly appealing. You may fall asleep on the couch or make it to bed,
where you drift off.

Your alarm wakes you on Wednesday morning and since you’re feeling
a bit muggy, you hit Snooze … twice, and think about your workload in
the day ahead. Next thing, you hear Buzz Buzz Buzz, and you’re having
to force yourself out of bed so you’re not late for work … again.

OF YOUR PASSION LEVELS HERE.

Now let’s take that same scenario and change just one tiny thing …
instead of work on Wednesday morning, you are actually going on
holiday somewhere you’ve been looking forward to for a long time. You
are going with your partner or some great friends and you have heaps
of spending money. Everything is planned and all you have to do is
get to the airport. Take a deep breath and imagine that holiday for a
moment…

OF YOUR PASSION WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THE HOLIDAY.

For most people, there is a distinct difference in their energy between

the first and second scenario, and one of the key reasons for this is

Spend a few minutes writing down the top three things that come to
mind when you read the questions above. When you are finished, circle
the answers that appear most often and you’ll probably notice a trend.

YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

If you’re not at all sure what your passion might be,

then I’d recommend taking some time to identify your
strengths. Here are three easy ways to get started on that:
1. Ask your friends what they consider your strengths
and natural skills to be.
2. Take an online personality test – here’s a simple one.
3. Invest a little time in some daily journaling. Just let
the pen roll as you envisage what your perfect day,
week or year would look like.

This helps you see what your behaviour is showing you your values are
and avoids the influence of your mind. Your passion will be related to
your values.
By this point, you should be starting to get a little excited. Even the act
of thinking about how cool it would be to actually love what you do
should get the inspirational juices flowing. But, if you’re still really not
sure what you’d like to do – or perhaps you feel like there are so many
things to choose from – then try this:
Think back over past weeks, months or years – to events and activities
stand out as being fun or exciting for you and you noticed you had a lot
of energy for … remember the holiday example. (BTW, if you can’t think
of anything, consider those events you reacted to in others with excite-
ment or jealousy.) You might like to consider the following categories
as a memory-jogger or just for ideas: Travel, Creativity, Social connec-
tion or Helping others.
The long and short of it is that you want to highlight those times
when you feel most alive. What makes you feel creative, happy, free
or a sense of belonging?
Now that you have your passion in mind, it’s time to start making it
happen. This is actually the easiest part of the process so far.
Commit to setting aside 21 minutes per day to work on your pas-
sion. Commit to doing this for 21 days and see where it takes you.
One of three things will happen:
1. You’ll realise it is exactly what you want to be doing.
2. You’ll realise that it is close, and you’ll get an idea how to make it
in to the thing you’re passionate about.
3. You’ll work out that it isn’t what you want, and now you can
release yourself from following that avenue at this time, knowing
you put effort in to working on it.

34 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 CLARITY COMES FROM FLOW,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Start doing something, and notice the clarity appear.

Here’s how you might fill your 21 minutes (a Word document may be a
great way to store your information and add to it over time):

1. Write about what you like about your passion and what comes easy
to you.
2. Research the work of others who are effectively using your passion
in their lives.
3. Teach your passion to friends … or anyone who will listen!
4. Study and research different methods of doing it.
5. Google it and download pictures
6. Create a vision board of what your life will look like when you’re do-
ing it – perhaps with the pictures you downloaded.
Do this diligently and over time and it will be impossible not to suc-
ceed.

Hint: once you’re clear on your passion, it is likely you can turn it in to
financial wealth. Before concerning yourself with that, make sure you
get clear on what you love.

RELATIONSHIPS
SEVEN PRINCIPLES

 Relationships
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO MAXIMISE THE HUMAN
EXPERIENCE – WE DO THIS BY MAXIMISING EMOTIONS.

The purpose of relationships is to magnify emotions. You cannot get

higher on your own than when you have good friends there to elevate
you. Imagine a music concert or a sports event with only 8 people in
the audience cheering and clapping. Now imagine the same event with
80,000 people in the audience … can you feel the difference?

And the flip side is also true. When people are in a low place and they
have someone there helping them get lower, the emotions are magnified.

WHO ARE YOU HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH

RIGHT NOW?

After our needs for food and shelter are met, we all have two primary
psychological needs:
1. The need to belong and be part of a tribe or a community
2. The need to be special and unique.

Our attempts to meet these needs are intricately woven into all our
relationships.

Most of us put a lot of emphasis on our relationships: family, friends and

significant others.

But, did you know that the relationship you have with everyone else is
based on your relationship with yourself?

That’s right, the closer you get to other people, the more you treat them
the way you treat yourself. That makes your relationship with yourself
your primary relationship.

37 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 When it comes to relationships, it’s interesting to notice that we
have some illusion that suggests to us that we should be good
at them on the first try. If we applied this logic to a musical
instrument or foreign language, we would consider it ridiculous
to think that the first time we tried it, that we’d be perfect. So the
question is:
HOW DID YOU LEARN ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS?
When we are born we have no idea how to relate to anyone. It
doesn’t take long before we realise that if we cry, we get attention
and that is usually where the lessons begin. Our relationship expe-
rience and schooling happens in a selection of the following ways:
1. How our parents relate – remember, they just did the best they
could, but they didn’t necessarily have any education in rela-
tionships
2. Other members of our family
3. Our school friends, teachers and others we meet in social envi-
ronments.
4. Advertising and the media … AND …
5. Books, advertising, the media, television, and movies –
it is SO important to realise that these are not real…
they are stories we’ve been brainwashed by.
38 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
FYI, people who live in communities that don’t have TV or media
actually have a far more realistic understanding of what relation-
ships are, as they haven’t been brainwashed by literally millions of
fantasy stories.
WHAT IS THE FANTASY OF WHAT YOU
CONSIDER A RELATIONSHIP TO BE?
If you ask people to define a relationship, you’ll get as many defi-
nitions as people. In addition, there will be a variety of values and
rules they’ll explain which guide the connection between people,
and it is unlikely you’ll ever find two people with exactly the same
rules.
Can you see now why it is so important to get the relationship
with yourself clear and healthy first?
We treat ourselves as we are treated by our peers. We relate to
ourselves as we learned to relate to the people around us. In this
way, the atmosphere of early childhood is carried forward into
adult life. The key to getting clarity lies in creating a functional
system. I believe that healing begins within. The first step is to
correct our internal issues; , to learn to deal with ourselves directly
and honestly and face our internal truth. The human mind is very
beautiful and very complex – nothing short of a miracle.

Most people have a virtual battle going on inside; simultaneously
blaming, defending, making excuses, resisting and judging. It is
nobody’s fault they do this, but it is everyone’s responsibility what
is done about it. Starting by practicing the seven points of loving
relationships with ourselves is a gift, we should all accept and actively
pursue.
In each moment, we have the choice to love or hate, condemn or
encourage, destroy or create. So it is important to ask ourselves
questions like:
1. How do I want to live?
2. What am I committed to?
3. How do I want to feel and think?
4. What do I want to believe?
5. How do I want to conduct my life?
Remember, clarity comes from flow, so just start asking these
questions and listen to the answers your body, mind and spirit are
giving you.
TO THE WORLD, YOU MAY BE JUST ONE PERSON;
BUT TO ONE PERSON, YOU MAY BE THE WORLD.

you currently achieve it. It is 100% guaranteed that you do all seven;
however, they may not be in the form you expect. Persevere.
Take at least seven long slow breaths and feel whatever emotions
come up as you ponder.
Go through all seven points over a week and repeat this at least
once per month for 7 months. You will see your relationship with
yourself improve and as a result, your relationship with others will
likewise improve.
