Upright
Spiritual strength depends on spiritual posture.
Rabbi Laibl Wolf
Why is man's posture upright while most of the animal world's posture is horizontal? Why is our spine built to have us walk on two legs instead of four? Maybe it is a sign of what our lives should be like. Perhaps we should be reaching for a higher level of living and not just living by instinct, as other animals do.
Our spine also reminds us of the balance between those at the top and those at the bottom. This is not about evaluating the importance of an individual life but understanding that we are all important and that we all rely on each other. The feet cannot go anywhere unless the feet carry it.
The key is to be aligned in an upright position and work to accomplish higher things with our lives.
Taken from Dr. Bernie Siegel's book:
365 Prescriptions for the Soul
Become upright in your life, relationships and work.
Namaste,
Danna
