It teaches how to harness psychological power, and spiritual strength to remain as totally healthy in body, mind, and spirit as possible. The course has three parts: 1. Achieving Lifelong Wellness....BODY Wellness has clear attitudinal qualities; it's not simply the absence of disease. Health is a very personal things, a state of thriving, not simply surviving.

Discovering the Pathways to Wholeness....SPIRIT Wholeness refers to a state of personal integration: optimal spirituality and health. When a person is whole, she or he has personal integrity, all the pieces of their life are cohesively held together by unifying principles. Richard P. Johnson, Ph.D |
