What is your definition of Health? and, Are you healthy?
I have asked these questions to many different people and it seems that almost always the answer is consistent with them relating their health and being healthy with physical symptoms or ailments. Most people will generally take a moment and mentally scan their physical body from head to toe and give you an assessment to whether they are healthy or not based on how they physically feel in that moment or give you a list of the many past diagnoses that they have been given. The question I have is: Is there more to health than only the physical body? Webster's defines health as not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, but complete physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. This broadens the limited perspective of what is health. I agree with Webster's, however, I feel that the most important aspect of health is still left out, which is spiritual. To me, it is our spiritual being that is our true essence and it has an unlimited infinite potential. I believe that as we broaden our definition of health the more miracles and healing can manifest in our life.
