Mens' Health Checklist from Head to Toe

When was the last time you were able to touch your toes? Stretch/bend when you wake up. Reach for the sky; connect with the earth.

Do you function independently or reliant on others to do for you? You may have to cook for yourself one day. Start learning now.

What illnesses are hereditary (in the family)? Is there depression or mental illness, a history of cancer or other organ diseases. Do not just except it as your lot in life. The body is capable taking care of itself when it is properly looked after from the beginning. We are all going to die. It is not death that we are most afraid of. It is the dying which suggests pain and suffering we fear. You have a choice now.

Meditation

The benefits of mediation have been known for thousands of years. It doesn't need to take half of a life time to learn to sit quietly and meditate for hours. There is no right or wrong way. Learn to appreciate just five minutes of quiet and stillness a day. Sit in your car in a parking lot. Walk through a park. Sit by the lake, Go to a public library. Turn off the TV. Sit in silence and enjoy, purposeful nourishing food.

It is important to recognise early in our lives the patterns we get stuck in taking note of changes in our body, mind, and spirit. With ever growing numbers of single and divorced/separated men without partners looking out after them. It is up to each individual to look after themselves. This article is meant to bring attention to the body in order to recognise, early on, imbalances in the body.

A Balanced Chakra System

There is no way to function in life without the Chakra System. We all have one. Most people are just unaware and either go through life relatively unscathed if they are lucky or struggle constantly, getting on and off a roller coaster with no sense of direction. The specific imbalances in your Chakras as they reflect your particular life and circumstances can be seen, assessed, and rebalanced with ease by an intuitive practitioner. It is then up to you to maintain them. It is not a difficult system to understand.

Heals of Your Feet

Are they rough and cracked, in need of a good foot filing. The heals are an indication of the energy in the root chakra, which is concerned with Safety and Security in this world. It represents the butt area of the torso. This rough condition is and indication of our struggle day to day with survival issues, fears, and money, scarcity vs. abundance. Being grounded in the here and now is where we want to be. Digging in our heals to find our ground is what this represents. A person who is grounded, and feels safe and secure in their world has smooth heals.

Callused Ball and Pad of the Foot

This area may be an indication of what might be as of yet, not manifested on a physical level concerning heart and lungs.

Clawed Toes

Resistance to moving forward. Attempting to hold on, holding back.

Tired Toes, Tired Legs

The lung, large intestine, bladder and kidney meridians, on the backs of the legs may be congested.

Distended Belly

Don't assume it's just from a lack of exercise, or too much beer, or the wrong foods. This area contains the sacral chakra (unexpressed feelings, emotions, and conflicts with expressing our sexuality) as well as the solar plexus. The body has a way of creating protection as a way of avoiding feeling. Note however, that the beer and the wrong foods are the way you attempt to not deal with these issues. The stomach and bladder, when not functioning optimumly, will distend. The message is there in front of you. "Hey look at me" Men aren't supposed to look like their having a baby.

A Solar Plexus (personal power) imbalance may, as a result of improper diet and assimilation of emotion, result in a distended and hard belly.

Reoccurring Rashes - Excema

Is an indication of stress. Its not just the time of year when it occurs, it is what is happening emotionally at that time. These stresses are generally related to specific chakra imbalance and appear within the area of the body involved with that chakra. The rash indicate that there are issues that need to be looked at so that the issues that are the cause can be dealt with differently.

Reocurring Lower Back Pain

Unless there has been a recent accident/injury, the (back) base, sacral and possibly solar plexis chakras are depleted of energy or completely shutdown. Recognising the issues involved will reopen those Chakras, and restore the energy.

Neck, Back, Shoulder Pain

These are areas where tension is held. The tension however, is throat and heart chakra Issues. The biggest issue with men is being unable to express. Expressing from the heart, coming from a loving place; expressing how you feel, not what you think.

Gym Associated Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain

You may have twisted the wrong way or lifted too heavy a weight but often times what has happened is you have twisted on a blocked Organ Meridian that runs close to the surface in that particular area. Meridians that run over the shoulder and up the neck, include bladder, gall bladder, small intestine, and triple heater. What you have done is twisted a Knot (energy block) even tighter. It can be excrutiating and debilitating until the energy is moved through.

Lack of Motivation

Can't get things done? Liver/gall bladder meridians. The liver is the planner and the gall bladder takes care of putting plans into action.

Anger

Sudden outbursts, anger at self, for no good reason suggests a liver condition.

Negative Mind Chatter

Can't shut it off, suggests a lung and large intestine imbalance. Holding on and not letting go of negative thoughts/ideas as well as not processing thoughts and ideas results in constipation and diarhea respectively.

Lung Conditions

Unexpressed grief and loss build up.

Sides of the Body Conditions

We tend to injure and/or have problems with either the right or left side of the body. The left side refers to mother and is nurturing. The right side refers to father and is more aggressive (doing).

Sexual Dysfunction

Do not assume that it is just age related. Daibetes, prostate and kidney may be factors. The kidneys are responsible for sexual secretions and function. The Kidney are located in the sacral chakra. Kidneys are necessary for the function of every organ in the body. That is why sacral chakra issues cannot be ignored. Guilt, shame and intimacy issues from our life time accumulate here. Allow yourself to feel.

Do not allow, goverment, religious, or old parental influences to stifle what you were born to be. Our sexuality and the expression of it which is a gift, has been twisted by a few leaders of society (and religious organizations) into something to hide and be ashamed of, yet television glorifies killing and violence. Children are allowed to view violence, yet the act of love or sex is to be hidden from their eyes.

Arthritis

Do not use "It's hereditary, it's in the family" as an excuse. Anger and unresolved resentments with self and others plays a key role in the development. We are all responsible for not allowing the emotional components of an illness to manifest into something unmanageable. Exercise, diet, and the emotional state all play a role.

Healthy Relationships

If you can't seem to hold onto relationships, if they start off good and then fail, it may not be about you. Relationships can only work if you are matched energetically. Like attracts like but if you are vibrating negatively, even subtly you will attract a negatively vibrating individual. When your energy shifts to a higher vibration and there energy doesn't, you are no longer operating from the same level. The needs, desires, ability to communicate and express all change.
