The connectedness of body and mind can be traced to our beginnings as an embryo. In the third week of life, there are three layers of cells. The outer, or ectoderm, eventually develops into the skin, brain, and nervous system. Making the physical structures that allow us to feel physical sensations from the same source as those through which we experience emotion.

The Body is our dwelling place in the life. Things to support and help balance the body are nutrition, breathing, exercise, stretching, relaxation, sleep and feelings.

The Mind is the part of us that reasons, understands, remembers, thinks, and adapts. Our mind processes what we believe and we can change our mind quickly. The body responds to our mind changes. The mind involves emotions, behavior, self-concept and coping.

The Spirit is the part of us that trancends. Our spiritual selves "Know". Spiritual wellness consists of faith, hope and love.
