(6) Health - The Sun
Picture this magnificent shining fireball, radiating energy for all life on earth, and celebrate your physical, mental and emotional vitality. If it is within your gift, resolve to take full responsibility for your health.
Try your best to choose only nutritionally good things to put into your mouth, exercise your body everyday - walking is wonderful, fill your lungs with fresh air, be a kind caring person, get enough sleep, smile and laugh often. Energetic good health is your reward.
How often do you pay rapt attention to your health? If you are like most people, it is only when something goes wrong! Choosing the Rune of Health is a valuable reminder not
to take your precious health for granted.
It is your wake-up call to think and act in healthy ways – this is your choice. If you do choose healthy habits over unhealthy ones, you experience the tremendous sense of energetic well-being which arises when you are truly fit in mind and body.
Thomas Jefferson summed it up most aptly: “Without health there is no happiness. An attention to health, then, should take the place of every other object.”
Additionally: “When you do things that make you happy or others happy, how can you not feel healthy, feel better or feel good?”, so says Dr Christodoulos Xenakis, an 83 year old resident of the Greek island Ikaria, where a third of the population lives past 90

Within the context of self-respect, you need to be completely honest about your current state of health – mind and body. Is there a particular aspect which requires attention? Note that your mental-emotional welfare is totally intertwined with your physical fitness, including the vital function of your immune system.
Rather than a one-off effort, looking after your health is an ongoing lifetime journey which requires positive intention on a daily basis. You drop the excuses and simply start your journey today - you are the only person capable of doing this for yourself.
Decide what you need to change in your daily health regime and apply practical actions to support your desired improvements. Whatever the issues, change the emphasis of your thinking to a positive ‘can-do’ attitude. And, if you already consider yourself to be healthy, keep on doing more of the same.
Ultimately, cherishing your health means making 'best use' of your mind and body every day so that, like the sun, you shine brightly and meet the world with an energetic glow.
This Rune is a member of The Performance Set consisting of domains relating to the need for engagement in physical and mental activities and taking personal responsibility therefor.
