1,000,000 years ago, what were you doing then all around?
What now?
There is not much difference between your body of now and that of 1,000,000 years ago.
You
were breathing, walking around to search/prepare for food in order for
you and your family to eat, in the mountains, in the rivers, here, there
& everywhere.
Ironically enough, the answer is the question and the question is the answer.
"What are you?"
Realizing what you are is the only starting point.
You are a walking animal.
If you do not walk, you die. How simple is that? That's the walking animal's destiny.
(If you were a flying animal and if you didn't/couldn't, you'd die. That's your fortune engraved in DNA.)
All the troubles come from NOT WALKING ENOUGH & EATING IRREGULARLY.
That's how you stay away from your fortune - health, wealth, longevity & happiness.
In the Canadian winter, you might be dealing with depression.
Two factors work gravely, specially in Canada - long winter & space!
Remember, it is your not walking enough & eating irregularly that drive your stress level up to depression.
Not walking enough means not enough oxygen supply to your brain. You are turning off your brain when you need it most.
However,
there can be many initiating elements & complex in this matter,
ultimately the depression develops through the process of not walking
enough & eating irregularly. Usually it accompanies spending all day
(all or mostly) alone indoors/inside - disconnected.
If you are looking for a way to get out of depression, get out to breathe, walk & eat.
If you think you are stressed, find yourself time to be what you are, that's where self-healing starts AS-IS.
The answer is being what you are - a walking animal that breathes, walks & eats.
All the answers are within you.
Stop running away by running after!
If you do not walk as you are, you are not spiritual. Period.
Walking is the best breathing exercise. Another name of walking is eating.
Breathing = Walking = Eating
