Holistic Wellness: Mind, Body, Spirit Connection

There is a current disconnect in our health care industry.  The disconnect revolves around our disease-forward focus to health intervention. Rather than taking a comprehensively, holistic approach to health care, we treat the symptoms of and the diseases themselves in segments.  The body functions as an organization of interconnected systems.  No system works in a vacuum, instead, they all work together to achieve a balance called stasis.  Our approach to health care should mimic this organization, instead we find ourselves over-specialized, operating health in silos. 
The World Health Organization defines wellness: “a complete state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”  In order to accomplish wellness, we must go beyond mere physical health and diet & nutrition, but must take a holistic approach.  

Wellness practices for mind, body, and spirit connection include: meditation, affirmations, prayer, studying, and more!  Get wellness techniques and principles of how you can connect mind, body, and spirit, on Wednesdays for Wellness Wednesdays and follow us on social media.
