What is a Vitality Advocate?

We chose this name for a reason.  Why?  Here’s a closer look at how the dictionary defines these two words.

• Vitality means “exuberant physical strength or mental vigor; capacity for survival; power to live or grow.”
• If you look up advocate, it means “to speak or write in favor of; support or urge by argument; recommend publicly; in support or defense of a person or cause.”

Vitality is not a quantity of energy that can be measured.  It’s a energetic quality that is complex, multi-faceted and ever changing.  A complete understanding of vitality includes the physcial, emotional and mental landscape, all ecologically connected to one another.  One cannot be focused on without influencing the others.

It can also be said that vitality is the energy propelling all of life.  It’s the energy that diets, exercise programs, healthy lifestyles and doctors all strive to bring about in others.  Though that may be, there is still a vast shortage of vitality in our society.  With all this information available, why is there a problem?

A physician, a physical trainer or psychologist are trained only to teach in their area of expertise.  For instance, even if you have a killer looking body, you can still be drained, even depressed and have to rely on stimulants or alcohol to feel positive emotions.  It’s because there is a lack of development somewhere else, and the keen focus we applied to one area, didn’t balance the total system.

Raising your vitality requires development in all these areas combined.

And advocation doesn’t rely solely on words or trainings, it has a proximity effect. Think back to a time when you felt very healthy and inspired.  You might have noticed other’s picking up on it from you, even animals.   You don’t have to try for this to work.  It’s a glow.  You will project that good feeling onto others.  Yes, even through video.

This site, our effort, is dedicated to this effect, and it’s why we chose the name.  To advocate this big-picture vision of health by tying together small-picture topics in every one of our episodes.

We want to be another voice (a fun & unique voice) that connects you to a higher vitality level by learning what you are, your relationship to your own body, with others and the rest of nature.

See you in the next episode!
