Indigenous peoples say that in order to return to our true nature, we must befriend four essential symbolic bones in our body. All four bones are needed to fully develop our character, dispel cynicism, and cultivate wisdom as we age.
Which of these four bones, with its essential character and qualities, needs strengthening or realignment?
Backbone: The quality of courage, to stand by one’s heart or core.
Wishbone: The quality of hope, to stay open to dreams, blessings, and possibilities.
Funny bone: The quality of humor, to foster joy and maintain flexibility.
Hollow bone : The quality of trust, to maintain openness, curiosity, and faith.

+ add your ownDelightful, we need not be serious all of the time, what fun!
Thank-you for the wonderful post. Nice that it wasn't a medical based one, rather one that provided food for thought.
Yeah, not the type of article I was expecting.
Interesting reading, though I do not accept the spiritual connection. I was expecting a genuinely medical article.
Thanks Annie. :)

Nice way of looking at it...
Thank you
Thanks for sharing.
How exactly do these bones correlate to the bones in our body? Thanks for the curiosities
