Health: A Journey from Within
Health: A Journey from Within – Taking Charge of Your Well-being
Health: A Natural Unfolding or an External Fix?
In today’s world, health is often seen as something to be fixed from the outside—through medicines, treatments, and interventions. But is health really something that needs to be fought for? Or is it something that naturally unfolds when we align ourselves with the fundamental principles of life?
The human body is not just flesh and bones; it is a symphony of energies and chemistry. If you know how to conduct this orchestra well, life happens beautifully. If you do not, suffering will come—not because life is against you, but because you have not taken charge of the instrument that is you.
The Science of Inner Health: Moving from Dopamine to Oxytocin
Your health and well-being are not just about exercise or diet—they are deeply linked to how you process life itself. Let’s explore how the natural chemistry of your system determines your health and how you can take charge of it consciously.
Step 1: Dopamine – The Thrill of Anticipation
Whenever you think about achieving something—a fitness goal, a delicious meal, or even a vacation—there is an instant thrill. Even before you start, dopamine is at play, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation.
However, many people get stuck at this stage. They dream of getting healthy, they imagine a better life, but they never take the necessary action. If you stay here, you will always be excited but never fulfilled.
Step 2: Endorphins – The Pleasure of Action
When you move your body, eat consciously, or take necessary action, endorphins bring a sense of relief and pleasure. This is where pain reduces, and you feel good about yourself.
But again, if you stop here, you become addicted to short-term pleasure—constantly chasing new highs, yet never reaching a state of true well-being.
Step 3: Serotonin – The Stability of Consistency
If you stay committed to a process—whether it is exercise, right eating, or any discipline—serotonin begins to regulate your system. Now, you are no longer chasing thrills or relief. Instead, you feel a deep sense of balance and well-being.
At this stage, happiness is not dependent on external stimulation—whether it is food, entertainment, or people. You are simply joyful without reason.
Step 4: Oxytocin – The Fulfillment of Alignment
If you continue this process for two or three mandalas (each mandala being 48 days), oxytocin begins to play its role. Now, you are not just healthy; you belong—to life, to existence, to yourself.
At this stage, you are not forcing yourself to make good choices; they simply happen because that is who you have become. Discipline is effortless. Joy is not something you seek—it is your natural state.
The Trap: Why Most People Get Stuck
Most people get stuck in the first two stages—either chasing dopamine highs or swinging between pain and relief. This is why people become addicted—to substances, food, entertainment, or experiences—because they do not know how to move beyond temporary pleasures.
Your mind and brain waves, if not consciously directed, will trap you in cycles of survival. The brain will keep pulling you into dream states, preventing you from taking real action. If you do not break this loop, your energies will create disorder—first mentally, then psychologically, and eventually, even physically.
How to Take Charge of Your Well-being
1. Move from Imagination to Action
Every time you imagine something, your system starts preparing—certain amino acids activate, neurotransmitters begin their play. But if you do not follow through with action, you will remain stuck in a loop of excitement and disappointment.
2. Maintain Consistency for a Mandala (48 Days)
If you stay committed to a healthy practice for 48 days, your biomemory begins to reprogram itself. What was once an effort now becomes effortless.
3. Align with the Natural Chemistry of Well-being
Instead of chasing dopamine highs, move towards serotonin and oxytocin stability. This means shifting from temporary excitement to long-term fulfillment.
The Role of a Guru: Accelerating the Process
A Guru does not waste time fixing your body or mind. He works on your energies. If your energies are transformed, your body and mind naturally align. This is why spiritual practices are not about discipline imposed from the outside; they are about inner realignment.
Health is Not a Fight – It is a Natural Unfolding
Health is not something that comes from outside interventions alone. It is a natural consequence of how well you align yourself with the fundamental forces of life.
If you take charge of your inner chemistry, your life will unfold in ways you never imagined. This is not philosophy. This is not belief. This is just how life works.
The question is—will you take charge, or will you continue moving in circles? The choice is always yours.
Editor’s Note:
In this profound discourse, Dr. Parth unveils a new perspective on health—not as a battle to be won, but as a natural unfolding that occurs when we align with the fundamental principles of life. Through a scientific and spiritual lens, he explains how our internal chemistry—dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—shapes our well-being and why most people get trapped in cycles of temporary pleasure rather than true fulfillment.
By shifting from external fixes to inner transformation, Dr. Parth offers a pathway to lasting health. This approach, deeply rooted in both neurological science and ancient wisdom, invites us to take conscious charge of our own system. Below, we explore deeper insights through a Q&A session with Dr. Parth, where he addresses fundamental questions on well-being, discipline, and the role of a Guru in accelerating transformation.
Professional Questions with Dr. Parth
Q: You say health is not something to be fought for but a natural unfolding. Can you explain this in practical terms?
Parth: Imagine you plant a seed. You don’t have to fight with the soil to make it grow; you simply need to create the right conditions—good soil, water, and sunlight. Growth happens naturally.
Health is the same. Your body is designed to be in balance, to heal, to thrive. But if you constantly disturb this balance with unconscious food habits, emotional turmoil, or erratic lifestyles, suffering will come—not because health is difficult, but because you are working against life’s natural intelligence.
If you align your system—physically, mentally, and energetically—then well-being is not something you seek; it is something that naturally happens.
Q: Why do most people struggle with consistency in health? They start with enthusiasm but soon lose momentum.
Parth: Because they are addicted to dopamine.
When you first decide to get healthy, dopamine creates excitement—the thrill of a new possibility. But if there is no deeper commitment, you soon lose interest and move on to the next high—whether it’s a new diet, a new exercise routine, or another quick fix.
This is why spiritual traditions speak of discipline—not as a punishment, but as a tool to break this cycle. If you consciously stick to a practice for a mandala (48 days), your system rewires itself. What was once difficult becomes effortless. Until then, your mind will keep playing tricks, convincing you to quit.
Q: How does one move from dopamine-driven pleasure to oxytocin-based well-being?
Parth: The shift happens when you stop chasing stimulation and start cultivating stability.
Instead of seeking excitement, seek alignment. Instead of jumping from one health trend to another, commit to something long enough for it to become part of your system. Move from temporary pleasure (dopamine and endorphins) to sustained fulfillment (serotonin and oxytocin).
Yoga, meditation, and conscious living are not about controlling your body but about restructuring your inner chemistry. Once your system is aligned, health is not an effort—it is your natural state.
Q: You mention that a Guru works on energy rather than just the body or mind. How does this accelerate well-being?
Parth: If you have a tangled knot, you can spend hours pulling at the threads, or you can simply loosen the entire knot at once.
A Guru does not waste time fixing one problem at a time—your diet, your emotions, your habits. He works on the fundamental energy structure of who you are. If your energies are realigned, then your mind, body, and emotions naturally fall into place.
This is why in the presence of a Guru, transformation happens rapidly—not because he "does" something to you, but because his presence itself is a field of clarity. If you allow yourself to dissolve into that clarity, then all that is unnecessary simply falls away.
Q: If health is so simple, why do modern societies struggle with it so much?
Parth: Because modern society is built on distractions, not awareness.
People are taught to consume, not to be conscious. Everything around you—advertising, entertainment, even education—is designed to keep you engaged in external stimulation, never turning inward. The more restless you are, the more the world profits from your instability.
This is why people are constantly seeking solutions outside—pills, diets, therapies—while the real transformation is always within. The moment you become conscious, the game changes. You no longer move in cycles of excitement and disappointment; you simply live in a state of effortless well-being.
Final Thought:
"Health is not something you chase. It is something you allow. If you align yourself with the fundamental forces of life, well-being is not a struggle—it is your very nature. The only question is: will you allow it to happen, or will you continue disrupting it with unconscious living?" – Dr. Parth
