Nurture Your Wealth

  First and foremost, this is not about politics, religion, or economics. The classification of western vs. eastern culture is a mere generalization of what may be seen, but does not allude to any guarantees of validity.

  In my opinion many western cultured individuals are focused on superficial energy. We are set in a reactive exercise habit, and are not exercising to achieve balance within our bodies. We routinely drive to a gym, to physically drain our bodies of any energy it may have had. We run and sprint until we can barely walk, we force our bodies to lift two-five times our own body weight, and generally work out for the sole purpose of appearances. We do not in a sense work out for ourselves, our internal balance and energy, we work out for others to admire, cherish, and loathe us. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, people will and can do what they want, when they want. The point I’m simply trying to make is there are different ways to do things.

  In many eastern cultures exercise is not seen as a past time, but a daily ritual built into culture. Daily exercise is meant to strengthen your mind, internal organs by releasing toxins, and body at the same time. Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation, and Yoga are just a few ways to achieve such balance. By achieving a balance within yourself you will be able to do the western culture thing, but will also feel 100% better doing the eastern and western.
