Wellness
Wellness is a dynamic state, reflecting growth and change physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, vocationally and socially. It is not a STATIC state. Wellness is an active process through which an individual makes choices and adaptations passively and actively which result in a more successful existence.
High-level wellness is a life-style-focused approach, which allows the individual to personally design a way to achieve optimal wellness within the limits of his or her own capacity. Life-style-focused approach to wellness is an integrated, ever changing state, which focuses on self-responsibility, accountability, nutritional awareness, physical fitness, stress management and environmental sensitivity as critical components of optimal wellness.
Vitalism : The doctrine of vitalism holds that life processes are guided by non material vital principle and are, thus, unable to be fully explained as physical and chemical phenomena. Most vitalistic practitioners today use natural methods which ALLOW the body to change itself.
Vitalism maintains that;
"the organism is reactive, at all times coping with, and attempting to overcome, the stresses which impinge upon it from outside. It behaves purposively, the nature and form of its reaction being determined by the specific environmental stress encountered. It responds to challenge, which no aggregate or assembly of non-living substances can ever do". (Divided Legacy, Harris Counter, pg. xvii.)
Quantum Vitalism : The testable hypothesis that life is a process intimately linked to the fundamental level of the universe; particular biological systems (cells, tissues, organisms) have a "unitary oneness" based on macroscopic quantum coherence; the flow of Innate Intelligence/ ch'i energy/information through tissues is related to sequences of emergence/collapse of quantum status in biomolecular systems.
