Eventually my readers ask–What does healthy avatar mean? Why is this in the domain name (www.healthyavatar.net) of the “Making Better Lemonade” blog?
Fair question. If you research the meaning of avatar, Wickipedia explains that avatar’s meaning has roots in Hindu spiritual beliefs, a deity in human form. If you could accept this idea, it might become more clear that, from my viewpoint, we all have a part of ourselves that is tied to the Universe–whatever individual spiritual beliefs a person has. The healthy part of the title, is referring to each person’s aspect that strives for health–that physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health are all linked together.
Thus, “bringing your healthy avatar into play,” is asking you to get in touch with your inner resources that can always be counted upon to lead you in the right direction. Only you know best what is right for you, and that ultimately, you can trust the answers that are found in yourself to address whatever difficulties life throws in your direction.
Quiet contemplation is the avenue how inner resources make themselves known.
