THE SEARCH FOR WHOLENESS IN RELIGIOUS LIFE

THE SEARCH FOR WHOLENESS IN RELIGIOUS LIFE

“Your body holds great wisdom. Trust in it. Learn from it. Watch your life transform and be healthy.” (Bella Bleue)

“It is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

In the previous article, we presented a bird’s-eye view of the six-dimensional paradigm of wholeness, namely, the physical, intellectual, emotional, moral, social, and spiritual dimensions. This brief and cursory description informed us that a person’s wholeness depends on their commensurate development in all these six dimensions. We also noted that those who fail to develop suitably in all these six dimensions could become dysfunctional in their day-to-day life and, as a consequence, their journey towards wholeness could either slow down or be halted completely. Therefore, our immediate task now is to explore the ways and means to arrive at wholeness while maturing in each of these individual dimensions.

From here on, we shall embark on an interesting and significant journey; an elaborate and practical journey of self-awareness and personal development. In this issue, we shall focus on the physical dimension of wholeness.
