Dimensions of Wellness

According to Dr. John W. Travis,M.D. and Regina Sara Ryan, Wellness is a choice - a decision you make to move toward optimal health.

-It is a way of life- a lifestyle you design to achieve your highest potential for well-being.

-It is a process- developing awareness that there is no end point, but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now.

-It is an efficient channelling of energy- energy received from the environment, transformed within you, and sent on to affect the world outside.

-It is the integration of body, mind and spirit - the appreciation that everything you do, and think, and feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health.

The concept of wellness stresses a balanced and controlled approach to the seven dimension of wellness listed below.Moving towards high level wellness will involve three steps- awareness, education and growth.
