In this section, Health & Wellness, and the sub-sections within it, as Socrates' quote above suggests, we must examine the landscape of the mind first, then the body. But, both the mind and the body are the responsibility of the owner, not the responsibility of a medical doctor or a therapist. Although you may have both in your life, the responsibility still remains yours as you, the patient, are the healer. We are all patients; we are all healers.

    Our thoughts, feelings, and physical body compose those aspects of 'who we are' that require examination. You may question why the spiritual component is not mentioned. It's simple really. The spiritual component is already perfect. Yes, we often use the phrase "I have to work on my spiritual life." But, in reality, we don't!  We actually need to work on the blocks that prevent us from connecting with our Spiritual Self or True Self, sometimes referred to as 'That Which We Really Are.'  That which We Are is already perfect. So, we need to work on everything else. We need to do due diligence on the thoughts and the feelings that so spontaneously arise within us every single time a stressful situation occurs or we see/hear a news report, and then figure out why we unconsciously judge the situation or another via those repetitive thoughts and feelings.

     So, with that in mind as the prelude to health & wellness, and in seeming direct contradiction to the above, we are actually going to address the physical body and other aspects of our being first. Why? Even though the mind is that which we are and the causative factor of every thing that happens to the body (the effect), most of us believe just the opposite...that we are the body and therefore, it is the body that needs to be treated. So, since everyone identifies themselves as a body, that part of the illusion will be examined first, in the sub-section 'The Physical Body.'
