Whole-Health is an idea that was given me when I asked how to best serve others in body, mind, emotions and spirit. To BE whole and healthy is the most optimal way we can live on planet earth. After I researched this idea, thinking I can’t be the only one who thought of this idea… I came across Dr. Lisa Rankin work. She uses a definition of Whole Health that is beyond perfect. I do not think there is anything I would change… so I am sharing that definition with you here today.

“Whole Health = The scientifically validated, vitality-enhancing effects on the body of alignment with the soul in nine aspects of human life—relationships, work/life purpose, creativity, spirituality, sexuality, finances, environment, mental health, and physical health. When your life choices align with the soul’s truth and integrity, your body exits the “fight or flight” state that results from betraying the soul’s truth, and the nervous system reverts to the homeostatic parasympathetic state, or the “relaxation response,” and the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms are optimized, facilitating self-repair.

In other words, whole health encompasses not only holistic health and integrative medicine (which might lie under the “physical health” realm) but also the mental, emotional and spiritual health typified by alignment with the soul in all areas of life, which is a prerequisite for optimal health. When you are living your life in alignment with your truth, rather than compromising your truth in exchange for comfort, security, the illusion of certainty, or a set of social norms that may not align with your soul, you make the body ripe for miracles.” – Lisa Rankin
