I am very happy you found this site because it shows me that you have some interest in making a change toward better health. Welcome! You’ve come to the right place! Read on to find out about my intentions for this blog so you know you’re at the right place too.
Make a change: Heart, Body, and Soul
My name, Alma, means “soul” in Spanish. It is believed when a person dies, the body and the soul separate. The body is our soul’s home and we have the one body that will contain it. Our body is a collection of cells working in a coordinated manner to keep it functioning. Where exactly IS our soul then? Scientifically speaking, who knows. Spiritually speaking, we know it’s there because we FEEL it. Sometimes we feel so deeply into our proverbial hearts and souls, we cannot deny the important role it has as part of our selves.
Peace is a state of tranquility or serenity according to dictionary.com. We find ourselves always rushing from one thing to the next, never giving ourselves a moment. Many live like this every day! We were not meant to live this stressed every day. It begins to take a toll on the body. How long do we keep this up before we crash and burn? I know, I’ve been there. Over years of research, learning, and piecing information together, mi alma has achieved greater peace. It has taken me a very long time and I don’t want that to be you, too. Through this desire to want to help others, the idea of Alma in Peaces took shape.
The Fundamentals of Making Changes
Many people who have seen my physical, mental, and spiritual transformation ask me what I do and how do I do it? And while the answer is simple, it was not easy. I wish I could sit down with each and every of them to unwrap this question because it’s a lot!. This site is meant to house useful information to help you on your quest for your alma to attain peace. Peace in knowing you can achieve a healthier body, mind, and soul. Once all those three are aligned with your values and what feels right for you, you can see that other things fall into place. Adversity no longer produces the fear it once did because your fundamentals are solid. Building on your fundamentals then becomes easy to maintain.
Take a look around. We see a lot of physical and mental suffering that’s been going on for way too long. Tupac was talking about it in 1998! Humans, at their very core are social and loving beings. When we don’t take action that align with our core values we are in a state of unrest, sickness, and depression. We don’t feel right. Like, it doesn’t feel right for me to know things and not share them. Many don’t understand their conditions, much less the medications they’re taking and why. Yet, nobody asks and just do as they’re told. This is an example of a major gap between our culture’s mindset and reality of healthcare in the U.S.
My Intentions are True
Everyone deserves to have an advocate in their health care providers. So, I have created this platform to figuratively sit down with each one of you, and unwrap the questions. My goal is to help empower you so you can be an active participant in making decisions about your health and not just be told what to do. The journey to health is different for everyone. It’s ongoing because there will always be something new being discovered, and that’s a good thing! This journey is not over for me, either. As I keep experimenting I will keep you updated as I go. Just the same, I don’t want more time to pass before I fill you in on the shortcuts I already know. (If you want to know more about me, check out the About Page).
The Magic of Implementing and making Changes for your Health
Some of you may have come here because you’re ready to make changes, some of you are just curious, or don’t even know where to start and that’s ok. The real benefit comes from actually making the changes though. Don’t stress out, be kind to yourself in the process, it’s so damn HARD to change. You might even get some shit for it, too. Our gente is not known for being the cheerleading type. But, hey you do you, because it’s your one body for your beautiful soul. Implement one small change at a time, a week or month at a time, the time passes anyway. Might as well pass toward feeling better and getting that life you’ve been wanting by peace-ing together your alma too. If you find that I’ve helped you in any way, please let me know. I would love to hear your stories.
