Life is all about maintaining balance, and service is a very important aspect of that balance. Of course, we have a variety of needs that we must attend to which often involve taking from the world around us, but in order to balance this taking we must learn how to give something back.
True service means that we take time to give our energy to something outside of ourselves with no expectation of reward or payment as our motivation for serving. For some, the art of serving is well ingrained, and this talk may just be a reminder of things they have learned already but may have lost track of.
For others, it will be the first time that they have ever explored the concept of service in their daily activities, outside of the traditional sense of giving someone money to perform a service.
Research conducted on the effect of service on health provides powerful evidence of its benefits, not only for those who are helped, but also for the service providers.
One study done by House et al, in Tecumseh, Michigan, focused on 2754 people for up to 12 years. The researchers found that the men who did no volunteer work were two and a half times more likely to die during the study than the men who had volunteered at least once a week. Other research focusing on volunteer work time and again points out the significance of altruism and its positive influence on health.
This is not to say that we serve with the expectation of living longer, but rather that service is an integral part of living. Service reflects a healthy outlook on life, and in itself can help to improve our health further.
This talk by Neal Hoptman has been significantly influenced by the teachings and writings of Swami Satchidananda and Swami Sivananda and the foundations of Integral Yoga. Other significant influences have been the books and talks of the Dalai Lama and Ram Dass.

Every year we take the time to acknowledge the work and accomplishments of some very special Australians through the celebration of International Volunteer Day on December 5.
More than five million Australians engage in volunteer work each year, and they come from a wide variety of backgrounds which reflects the diversity of the nation. Senator Kate Lundy, Parliamentary Secretary for Immigration and Citizenship provides an introduction to the moving stories of Iven Spicer and Pat Wagner, who both play a critical role in helping some of Australia’s newest arrivals to successfully settle, gain access to services and participate effectively in the community through the department’s Integrated Humanitarian Settlement Strategy or IHSS.
