Five Human Fields

 We are made of several fields -  physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational. Sometimes we forget that all these fields affect each other. When we get sick physically, it affects us emotionally, and sticky patterns of thoughts and trauma can make our bodies sick! 

If we're not careful we can end up working on just one field, thinking that "If I just get the right diet or supplement, I'll get well," (physical); or "if I just think optimistically, I can beat anything," (mental); or "All I need to do is pray, and God will do it all." (spiritual);   It's important to work holistically, balancing and healing all the fields, so that they support one another in restoring lasting health. 

Regardless of race, gender, religion, politics, economic status and all the other ways we define ourselves, the healthy, holistic development of these fields is the state in which every human being actually thrives. These are the ends to which we are all moving. This is our personal and our collective journey.
