Did you know the four bodies of wellness and… you exist in?

Your body is actually made up of distinct-FOUR parts –physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The latter three seems intangible but they have a physical presence.

T. Harv Eker, an Author, concluded that you live at least in four realms at once. The physical world, the mental world, the emotional world and the spiritual world.

The way to health, wellness and understanding your true being is each body should be balanced.

Most of us link health exclusively to the physical body and fail to recognize other factors that contribute to our overall well-being.

Physical Wellness

This represents your physical experience in nature, your physiology and your ability to heal. Physical body encompasses of the skeletal system, musculoskeletal structure, vital tissues and organs that carry you through life.

Your balanced physical body should signal the feel of being open, flexible and healthful, your vitamin and minerals should be balanced and you should be free of pain, toxicity and acidity. 

You physical wellness comprises a variety of healthy exercises. However, your exercise of choice isn’t the only one to consider when striving for good physical health. You’ve met people with clean eating habits and are physically fit, but who carry excessive mental and emotional stress which can wear on their health. Balanced nutrition and abstaining from harmful habits such as drug use and alcohol abuse also contribute to good physical body. Get plenty of restful sleep. Regular massages and spending time in nature are other elements of physical health.

Mental Wellness

Your thoughts, attitudes, judgments and prejudices and how you perceive your worth in the world is what comprises your mental body.

To know that your mental body is healthy and balanced, you should have proactive problem solving, concise communication, innovative mind, coming into fruitful clarity and ease and the ability to solve emotional or physical issues in a direct and supportive way. Healthy mental body offers direction and benefits everyone.

• Take a course
• Seek out people who challenge you intellectually
• Read books 
• Eliminate stressors in your life
• Set goals and get a coach or mentor to keep you focused on your goals

Emotional Wellness

This is a dynamic state. It’s comprised of all your past, present and future emotional experiences. Fluctuates frequently with your other three bodies. Possessing the ability to feel and express human emotions like happiness, sadness and anger means you are emotionally healthy. Ability to love and be loved and the sense of fulfillment indicates healthy emotions.

Optimal emotional healthy practices includes:

• Deepen your connection with others

Spiritual Wellness

This is your connection to energy. It may be more closely tied to religion than spirituality. It can be also said to be a set of guiding beliefs, principles, or values that help give direction to one’s life. Daily spiritual or religious practices are important to maintain the open connection.

A Spiritually well person seeks harmony between what lies within as well as the forces outside.
