Meditation on Health inspired by Italy

… I found myself repeating one phrase, “May I be healthy,” over and over as if to milk the phrase for all the manifestations of health: May my thoughts be positive and helpful, may my food choices be nourishing, may my exercise be balanced between challenge and understanding, may my relationships be compassionate and positive, may my words and deeds be helpful and inspiring, may my skin be porous and breathable, may my immune system do it’s work to discern what is unwelcome, and more. I realized how much there is to contemplate in that simple phrase “May I be healthy.”
