Homeopathy
Homeopathy has four principles that are its foundation. They remain unchanged over the last 200 years as their truth is demonstrated through
successful treatment of the sick. These four principles are;
The Law of Similars (
Similia Similbus Curentur - "Let likes cure likes";
The Single Remedy;The Minimum Dose and
The Potentized Remedy. It is important to note how homeopathic remedies are
developed. Firstly they are made from natural substances such as plants, minerals and animals. Homeopathy approaches nature?s design
- a practice revolving around the circle of life.
The benefits of homeopathic medicine add to your quality of life as they focus on treatment of physical, emotional and mental
imbalances. For more on Homeopathy just click on the rainbow?s image on the left and it will lead you to the Homeopathic Medicine section of the Zone.
Mind - Emotional & Mental Health
Balance
KnovaLife recognizes two important concepts in life management;
Nature?s Design and the
Circle of Life - indeed
throughout the four quadrants of Knovamind we recognize this - it is essential to grasp this concept to live
and excel in harmony. Grasping this concept is the first step to strong emotional health. The second step is
living a balanced life. To achieve this eliminates the internal conficts that have dwelled inside since our
very existance. Furthermore this makes one aware of possible
life unbalancing acts.
This balancing act is enjoining all aspects of your life together in such a way as they all contribute to helping
you reach your goals in an enjoyable, positive and nurturing way.
Just click on the Ying & Yang icon on the left on the left and see where you are balanced and where you need rebalancing
Passion Of Life
Having a passion in your life gives you a passion for life! The affects of passion are immeasurable and
lead to immense mental strength and health. Let us look at the warrior who deems being invincible as being understood
on the physical level. It means much more, invincibility begins and exists within an unbeatable mind. If the warrior?s
mind doesn?t believe that he or she is invincible, then no matter how hard he or she trains the mind accepts the
possibility of defeat and the warrior will remain beatable. If your mind is strong and free of all negative influence,
the battle is 80% won. Action leads to a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void. This underlines the
importance of mental health. We are all warriors in some shape or form!

Happiness
Happiness is what we all aspire to ? to be emotionally free we strive for happiness ? that is the natural human condition.
One of the keys to strong mental health is happiness. We live in a world plagued by hypochondriacs, people with no
self-responsibility and a generally selfish unethical self absorbed overflow. So many people spend their whole life
just feeling sorry for themselves! Given all that, these people can bring people down both emotionally or mentally.
However be that as it may ? it is but an excuse to fall into that trap yourself. We all have the natural ability
to
let go of any unwanted thought or feeling as we choose. No doubt in times of stress and strain this is more
difficult ? but we can all do it. To look for happiness in the right place just click on Smiley?s image on the left and
don?t worry be happy!
Stress Management
There are many definitions of stress from the clinical to the benign. One of the
pioneers of stress research, Dr. Hans Selye wrote that
" ... stress is essentially reflected by the rate of all the wear
and tear caused by life." We consider stress to be anything that stimulates you and increases your level of alertness.
This would incorporate what is cited as ?good? and ? bad? stress. Through Knovacology we use stress to your advantage. In
Identifying stress we look at what stress is, what causes it, and optimum stress levels. We work towards analyzing and
planning to control stress. We look at many of the good stress management techniques available - in today?s modern environ
stress both good and bad is part of our daily travails. Just click on the image on the left
to find the stress management plan to suit you.
Time Management
The one asset that can never be recovered is time, it is a precious gift given to us at birth. Time management is very important in all walks
of life; in the intense times of the modern world it?s significance is heightened. Our KnovaLife plans allow for less time wasting and therefore
a greater appreciation of the value of time. It is crucial to plan your day in an optimal way, to minimize the stress of fulfilling your
personal, work, spiritual and health & fitness goals. Time management needs to be an essential part
of your planning, you will then become more effective and more efficient, in your whole goal and life development.

Soul - Spiritual Health
Mind/Body/Spirit Connection
"There is only one journey. Going inside yourself."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
Inside of us all are the spiritual qualities of peace, harmony, and
patience - spiritual health is bringing them to your forefront and letting them into your household, workplace,
and community. It is important to never underestimate your individuality. In discovering yourself your health
problems, emotional problems,
financial problems, relationship issues, and the like, dissolve in the face of
spirituality health. It is the point of Mind, body and spirit connection that creates fluidity.
It is important to recognize that true spirituality does not have to be complex, mysterious,
magical, or miraculous. Click on Rodin?s icon on the left to learn how to achieve your Mind, Body and Spirit Connection.
Inspiration
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
- Les Brown
There are inspiring people all around, you have people right next to you such as your mother and father. They may be sporting
heroes, Biblical stories, literary heroes or individuals that have simple done something to inspire you. An important part
of spiritual growth is being inspired and attaining the energy and drive from that but even more so being able to inspire others.
Through our capsules you will find and develop leaders or heroes to inspire yourself and learn how to become an inspiration
to others. Click on the waterpool icon on the left to learn how to be inspired and inspire others.
Spiritual Healing
There are various laws of nature which govern the free flow of this life energy through our bodies and
minds. Spirituality Healing attunes those forces, this life energy or bioenergy is essential for the proper functioning
of both the physical body and the mind. A key to a
Good life is recognizing the balancing act of body, mind and soul.
It is the key to health and harmony. If the body is lacking in energy, it will be more susceptible and vulnerable to
illness. If the mind is lacking energy, it will develop negative thinking patterns which will create disharmony in the
endocrine and nervous system, eventually weakening the whole body. Finding the Purpose of Life is only possible through this balance
from their you see Life is a journey,
Not a destination. Click on the Budha icon on the left to learn how to benefit from
Spiritual Healing and to overcome your Spiritual Butterflies.
Yoga
On a physical level, yoga goes beyond just toning and strengthening organs, immunity and muscles.
Perhaps there is not a better representation of the synchronization of mind-body-soul. Yoga improves our mental state, increases
concentration, builds self-esteem, and helps us to deal with stress in a positive way. Mental and emotional improvements include
clarity of mind, greater awareness, increased concentration and focus, a more positive attitude, less mood swings, improved self
esteem, "groundedness", and stress reduction. When the body and mind are synchronized, a spiritual dimension comes forth: improved
intuition, a deeper "knowing" inside, an openness of heart, a feeling of greater love and compassion for oneself and for others, a
connection to the divine. Click on the Yoga Wheel on the left to learn more.
Meditation Room
Our subconscious mind exerts a powerful influence over our lives. It is estimated over 97% of what we do, think and say comes from old
programming in our subconscious mind. As such it controls and maintains all of our perceptions and in doing so organizes our memories,
emotions and energy. Meditation gets you in touch with the inner dialogue, what it is your mind is causing resistance.
You will feel as if you are in another world (the world of the mind), with a sense of ease and solitude to which nothing else in the
world can compare. Here you can change that dialogue and your life experience will change. At KnovaLife we don?t embrace change because
of a
need to improve ourselves, we embrace change to experience a greater degree of purpose, happiness, freedom, and joy
in our lives. Click on the Sunflower to start your journey!
Religious Philosophy
Part of spiritual growth and evolution is being open minded to the benefits and detriments of spiritual teachings.
Understanding doesn?t only lead you to see yourself but importantly opens you to a world of forgiveness, acceptance
and inner peace.
God is decribed by many in differnt terms such as; "The Supreme Being," "Higher Power," "Love," or to some "Non-Existent".
There is no doubt concepts of God are shaped by your upbringing, your family?s beliefs, your schooling, your environment -
geographically, economically or politically. These concepts are wide and varied from an Atheist?s view of no God, to a
Pagan?s view of many gods, to the belief that there?s a superhuman-type God or "God Head" overseeing and orchestrating our very
earthly existance. Many also see a God that is Universal Love in all of us. Click on the Sun to learn more!
