Beitshifa has been created by natural health practitioner Abdul Karim Powell.
Abdul Karim has created Beitshifa as an online community to encourage awareness of the importance of both inner, or spiritual, health; and outer, or physical, health. He wants to promote understanding of how to care for both these vital parts of our lives in balance and to not let the one outweigh the other, for if you do not keep your body as a temple then how is it a fit place for worship?
One of the most important points in this exploration of worldly and cosmic harmony is the ability to accept change, and to avoid stagnation, both of the body and of the soul. The body becomes stagnant when it's owner lives unhealthily, like a polluted pond, and the mind and soul can become stagnant when there no fresh ideas on spirituality are considered, like a pond with no running water. A key philosophy of the Beitshifa community is that 'there is always time for change'.
The Beitshifa community consists of several respected practitioners, therapists (See Ask a Therapist) and you! We hope you will add to our vibrant community and our store of knowledge by commenting on our posts and asking for any advice you need.
We hope you enjoy the site and welcome comments and feedback so that we can make it even better in future.
