Wellness: (well·ness weln s/ noun) the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. Mind, Body andSpirit: In the holistic healing world, they are the three essential pillars of well-being. When someone is ill, it isn’t necessarily just the body that needs healing, it may be the mind and/or the spirit that is wounded and also in need of repair. Indigenous people have also believed for thousands of years, that if one is out of balance,
then work must be done to realign all of them, in order to fully restore all three. They under- stood that a healthy mind, helps create a healthy body and that a healthy body is important if you want a healthy mind and your relationship to both, spiritually is as important as either. This year for something different, we decided that instead of doing a fitness issue, on
which we focused solely on the physical, we would give you words and conversation from three different professionals, experts in their particular field, who loosely fall under our three catagories: Mind, Body and Spirit. Something to maybe make you consider what you might need to do to restore a little balance in the new year. After all, isn’t that what new beginnings are all about? We don’t presume to know there is one “right” approach for every person who might read
this when finding a path that works for them. Certainly, there are as many ways to experi- ence such things as there are stars in the sky… maybe that’s a tiny exaggeration, but you get the picture. The world and experiences are as vast and as different as they can be, but one thing is for sure, the better care we take of ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually, the better off we are in the world at large. It’s just a little food for thought and not a hard and fast set of rules. If it makes you think
a little about what might serve you better in your day-to-day life, then all the better. If it doesn’t, then you’ve lost nothing by reading about another unique and different perspective. Like they say in another of those places of healing, growth and restoration—the one that includes a 12-step process—“Take what you like and leave the rest.”
