Health in the 21st Century / 21世紀の健康について

By Masami Saionji

Originally, health was something that each of us judged based on our own perceptions of our body. Indeed, this is the natural way, and each of us is responsible for maintaining our own health. Today, however, our excessive preoccupation with it has turned a basic thing like health into a source of anxiety that weighs constantly upon our mind. To exit from these cycles of anxiety, I think we human beings need to become able to shift our consciousness away from our pursuit of health and toward an appreciation for the wonders of life. We need to discover the amazing power of natural healing that flows within our own life-energy. To draw out this incredibly marvelous healing power and switch it to ‘on-mode,’ we must firmly direct our attention to it. Otherwise, it will remain forever unnoticed.
— Masami Saionji

健康とは本来、一人一人が自分の身体についての知覚に基づいて判断されるべきものです。それが全くの自然であって、一人一人が自分の身体を管理すべきなのです。しかし、現在は健康という基本的なことが過剰に意識され、余りにも不安な材料となり、人々の心の中に重くのしかかってしまっているのです。このマイナスの悪循環から抜け出すには、健康の追求ではなく、生命の素晴らしさに意識が向けられなくてはなりません。自分自身の生命エネルギーから溢れ出る、自然治癒力の驚異的力を知るべきです。その信じがたいほどの自然治癒力のスイッチをオンにし、自分自身で使いこなすのです。そのためには、そこに強い意識が向けられなければ、自然治癒力は、ただ眠ったままです。
