Fitness and Wellness Principles: Part 1- Weight Loss
By Douglas Galligan

The term “Wellness” is one of the most frequently used buzzwords in health and fitness these days. Wellness describes an overall health of the mind and body that result in an optimum sense of well-being (Dunn). Dr. Halbert Dunn first introduced the term in the 1950`s. In his book, High Level Wellness, Dr. Dunn defined the state of Wellness as “a method of functioning, which is oriented toward maximizing ones ability to function in their environment”; he summed this up by simply stating that it is the combination of things that give us a “zest for life”.

Spiritual Needs and Wellness
By Donetta Harrison

The world of science has acknowledged the link between emotional/spiritual stress and illness.

Our spirit is not merely something which goes “up” or “down” after death, it is life itself. Nowadays we leave an electronic trail behind us when we use credit/debit cards, mobile telephones and other tracking devices. In the same way every life event, interaction and experience leaves an imprint on our spirit.

Increasing self knowledge brings peace of mind and healing at a spiritual level which then allows the body to heal itself. There are times when the physical body has become damaged to the extent that death is inevitable and at these times spiritual healing is even more essential to allow a peaceful passing.
