Lesson 13: Respect The Invisible

In this lesson, we want to discuss a series of topics that all have one thing in common: they are invisible to the ordinary human eye. But the fact that they are invisible does not mean that they do not exist. Unfortunately, most people discard them unless they have severe direct consequences.

So, let's talk about:

1. Gravity
2. Radioactivity
3. X-Rays
4. Noise
5. Feng Shui Energies
6. Electromagnetic Radiations
7. Thoughts.

When a mother tells her children they should respect potential dangers in life like traffic, mountains, sea, etc., it is not because she wants to scare them, but because she cares about them.

In the same way, Healfi wants to inform you about any potential dangers of the "invisible". We are no experts of the electromagnetic spectrum, so you need to do your own research if you feel that you need more accurate and detailed explanations. Anyway, here we go:

1. Gravity

This is the "invisible" factor that most people respect because of its imminent health consequences. Most people will acknowledge the fact that gravity exists.

2. Radioactivity

Here the consequences are fairly quick depending on the amount of radiation you get exposed to. Wars and nuclear plants accidents have confirmed the real danger of the invisible gamma rays.

A good thing though, is that you can measure radioactivity with a Geiger-counter and thus take necessary steps should the amounts increase.

3. X-Rays

Here the consequences are more long-term but nevertheless incontestable. Small amounts should not be a problem, but make sure you avoid x-rays as far as possible.

The last 4 topics are quite insidious in the sense that the health consequences do not appear quickly, but need years or sometimes decades before symptoms appear.

4. Noise

The impact of noise on your health is tricky to measure, and it can be very subjective. We think that artificial noise (cars, machines, etc.) is more detrimental to health than natural sounds (birds, wind, thunder, waves, etc.).

There was a recent article in a local newspaper about the fact that almost half the population of the city of Geneva in Switzerland lived in areas with harmful levels of noise. The scary thing is that Geneva ranks among the cities with highest living standards on Earth. That tells us a lot about other cities... Probably the highest living standards are not in cities at all...

Today's technology is so advanced that cars and motorcycle companies do not need to manufacture noisy engines. But unless the consumers (= you!) put pressure on them, they will continue to manufacture noisy and polluting vehicles.

5. Feng Shui Energies

When you ask an Asian: "Do you believe in Feng Shui?", you might get a response like "Do you believe in the weather?" For them it is absolutely obvious that the "invisible" energies in your living and working areas have an influence on your health and well-being.

Just because you cannot "see" these energies, does not mean that you can label them as "hocus-pocus". These energies do not care about your arrogance. They are there whether you want to admit it or not. We suggest that you respect them and do what is necessary to align with them.

If all Western people got rid of all their clutter in garages, attics, cellars, drawers, closets, etc., we can guarantee that public health in these countries would look very different!

You will also notice that there is an obvious correlation between the clutter in your home and your weight.

6. Electromagnetic Radiations

Most artificial electromagnetic radiations are not bio-compatible. In small amounts they are not a big issue, but you do not need to be a professor in biophysics to understand that it cannot be healthy to sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day... Or to talk on your mobile phone all day long...

This is what Healfi calls common sense.

The problem with many of these electromagnetic waves is that they are pulsed - similar to a stroboscope in a discotheque.

Now the difficulty is that not only are the health consequences different from a person to the next, they are also mid- to long-term and you cannot measure electromagnetic waves like you can with radioactivity or sound.

Obviously computer and mobile phone manufacturers will not tell you that there are any dangers... So this is a typical health area where you need to use your own good judgement to know what is right for you.

7. Thoughts

Negative thoughts are dangerous not only for your own, but also for other people's health. Positive thoughts are positive for all!

Unfortunately, a large majority of our daily thoughts are negative...

Try and be more aware of all your thoughts - positive and negative - and try to feel what influence either of them has on yourself and on others.

You can imagine that you send out either arrows or warm soft cotton balls depending on the polarity of your thought...

Feel how the arrow hurts... feel the warmth of the cotton ball...

Gossip is a typical negative example, and you must know that you actually hurt yourself even more than the person(s) you are bullshitting about.

Making a compliment or showing gratitude are positive examples.
