Spirituality is that which comes from within--beyond how we have been programmed to believe or value. Spirituality is the source of wisdom. The extent to which we live our lives from the standpoint of distinguising reality from illusion is also the extent to which we have accumulated a certain amount of wisdom.
I define health as a properly functioning body. Since body and mind are one, being healthy assumes a healthy mind. A mind that is free of belief structures that continually produce conflict in our lives. The discovery and resolution of such belief structures significantly influences our health.
I define wellness as a state integration between body, mind, and spirit. Wellness takes into account the holistic nature of being human. For example, if one has a propensity toward high blood pressure, then exercise, diet, and natural remedies (or even mild drugs) might be necessary to manage such a condition.
For those in Salt Lake City, I will be presenting a workshop for The Alternative Health Summit this Friday November 3, 2006 at the South Towne Exposition Center, 9575 South State Street, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. The title of my presentation will be Spirituality, Health, and Wellness. The Summit will run November 3 and 4. You can go online for details at Alternative Health Summit.
