The Body-Soul Connection

What does it mean to be healthy? This is a question that I have grappled with for years and even went so far as to write my college admissions essay on how important it is to find a balance within yourself in order to lead a fulfilling and well-rounded life. Everyone suffers many wounds during their lives, both in the physical and mental spheres, but what makes someone strong is their ability to fight back against the odds and take hold of their life again after the suffering initially strikes. 

Some ways to achieve the balance and feeling of well being and a secure hold of ones life are eating healthy, being creative in whatever unique sense this means for each person, and stimulating the mind.   I believe that these things work together and that it is necessary to have a certain amount of each category to have a balanced lifestyle. 

On to the subject of post traumatic stress disorder, when someone suffers this disorder, to whatever degree, their balance goes astray and they need to find themselves again which means putting in to order this different aspects of a proper body and soul connection. This is where NATAL comes in and emphasizes the importance of this connection through the different types of therapies and the social therapeutic club. Every person should strive for a meaningful equilibrium within their own self in balance with the outside world. 

Before I finish my post I want to go into more detail about how NATAL coordinates providing people with a relaxing physical space where patients can do yoga therapy while giving them therapeutic support. The social club offers yoga classes and being part of the club requires the understanding that the clients must participate together and try to grow and talk with each other and the supervisors which allows them to begin to get past symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. In the south NATAL also offers free yoga classes to single mothers who often are part of low socioeconomic classes. The classes are conducted in the south because alongside the mothers struggling financially there is a lot of missiles that are targeted at this area and a constant state of distress. When the mothers go to yoga they receive support about besides for the class on how to be strong emotionally and how to move forward in their lives. Understanding how to properly inform people on creating a peaceful line within ourselves in one of NATAL's main platforms which really illustrates how essential this organization is within Israel, a country subjected to terror and war constantly, but also how important there message is to anyone anywhere.
