                        While it is true that a child will grow more and more into the fullness of their humanity and spirituality as their body matures, it is also true that the body at its birth is already a whole and holy human being.

                        Within our physical being, deep in the sub-molecular level of our cells, every thought, hope, fear, desire, prayer become manifest. Yet, we do not know how to appreciate this deep interconnection of body and soul.
                    
                
                
             
        
        
    
    
        
            
                
                
                    
                        
                    
                    
                
        
        
        
        
            
        
                
                    Aching Soles: Is there a connection between poor physical and spiritual health?
                    
                        
                        Our attempts to understand the origins of illness are as old as the
