Many times when we hear that word we put our guard up because we think of Charles Darwin with his

theories. But evolution simply means change. And that is something we all must do.
When we are born, we are basically animals and our whole purpose is to survive, both personally and as
a species. We have animalistic survival instincts that are programmed into our DNA. So we compete and fight
to insure that we get what we need. Every Friday thru the End of October
As we grow up, at some point, we begin to emerge into a more humanistic state, as we begin to use the
morals and values that we learned from parents, teachers, churches and society in general. Most of us get Greenville Auction and
to a place where we know that we and the species will survive. At that point we can begin to focus on the
human characteristics of love, compassion, co-operation, and the good of all concerned. Flea Market
The next phase of change is an awareness of the spiritual part of us. Somewhere between childhood and

in our spiritual awareness, we realize that the divine power is within us. It is this vital
force that actually powers up the system. Sure, the organs and tissues all play their
role, but without this divine spark we could not exist.
In holistic medicine, we pay attention to this spiritual part because it has such

a huge impact on the physical and mental. In homeopathy, we believe that this
spiritual, vital energy is what produces the symptoms that guide us to the correct
remedy to bring the complete being (body, mind, and spirit) back into alignment.
So, realize, we are evolving beings, from animal to human to spirit and our physical,
mental, and spiritual health are inseparable.
