Over the past couple of years, I have developed a receding hairline. Is there a spiritual lesson to my hair loss? Am I working off karma, or is there an imbalance in my life?
Losing hair can teach us to have respect for what many people take for granted.
Hair loss has dogged me ever since I was your age. It finally dawned on me that I had chosen a family where this was a problem for about half the males. A genetic weakness. But I learned to do something about it.
I learned to cut back on fatty foods. It also worked to use a shampoo that cleaned away sebum from scalp. And to towel dry my hair gently. Nutrition plays a big role, of course.
But a full head of hair is only a superficial adornment. Many fine people are bald. Baldness is a part of their attraction.
Solve the baldness problem, and down the road comes the greying problem. Learn to treat yourself gently. It really is more important what’s inside you than on your head.
