Poem: Healthy Mind Healthy Body | Sixty And Me

poem:-healthy-mind-healthy-body-|-sixty-and-me

In the realm of your being, where thoughts dance and play,
Lies the secret to health in a curious way.
For your mind and your body are partners, you see,
What one may believe, the other will be.

When illness comes knocking, don’t tremble or hide,
It’s a whisper within you, a teacher inside.
It says, “Dearest traveler, something’s amiss,
Look closer, look inward, there’s healing in this.”

Each ache has a reason, each fever a song,
A signal that tells you where balance’s gone wrong.
Instead of resisting, just listen and learn,
For health is a choice, one you daily earn.

Food is your friend when you know what you eat,
Some things will bless you, some others, defeat.
Not all are the same, we’re unique, through and through,
So discover the diet that’s perfect for you.

Some heal in the forest, some heal in the sun,
Some meditate quietly when the day’s nearly done.
Some find their renewal through sweat, steam, and fire
In saunas or lodges where spirits aspire.

So bless every sunrise, each dawn that appears,
Let go of old burdens, release ancient fears.
Your cells are all listening, your soul’s keeping score,
Each loving thought heals you a little bit more.

Healthy mind, healthy body, they’re one and the same,
Two sides of one candle, two sparks of one flame.
When you think with compassion and act with good cheer,
The song of your spirit grows blissfully clear.

Health is not luck, nor a mystical art,
It’s living with joy from the depths of your heart.
So honor your journey, each step that you take,
And marvel at all that your being can make.

Healthy mind, healthy body . . . this truth you shall find,
The body will follow the lead of the mind.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Have you found that your body follows the lead of your mind when it comes to health? How do you nourish your body and mind?
