Related to the concept of mental workout is Roger Walsh’s observation of the practices of essential spirituality in which he describes the nature of reality. Moving beyond our physical reality into the center of awareness within as a means to foster psychological health is the beginning of a mental workout. He states that “because of our immature states of mind, we do not perceive accurately”. To me this profound statement says it all. We live in a surreal world where perception is reality. We perceive stressors; we perceive injustices via people’s words and actions, we interpret through unconsciousness and worse we act and react unconsciously. Changing our perception to one that penetrates beyond the physical senses (and the ego) will engender peace and harmony.
