What is Wellness?

Wellness is one of those words that get used by many people but as we hear the word do we really know what it means?
The Wellness "movement" started in the 1970's by an innovative doctor named Dr.John Travis. He questioned the status quo by suggesting there was another choice of describing whether a person was free of disease or not free of disease and he coined that thought as "wellness."
I hear many people claim that they are "healthy" although they are on medications because they did not feel sick or have the symptoms of a certain disease. They might not be able to eat a meal without burping or being out of breath when the try to climb some steps, but they think they are healthy because they have not been diagnosed by an MD that they had "it." these people do  to have wellness. They do not have who lenses. Something is not right. It is out of balance
Wellness is not the lack of something like disease. It is a positive state of energy, vitality, enthusiasm and the ability to do what you desire to do with no worries or fear. It is when all systems are balanced and ready to go. True wellness happens when our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies come together as one "wholistic" being.
We have to let go of our fear of disease. We must understand that disease is not the "boogie man" waiting for us around the next corner. We must take responsibility with our health. We must learn how to make the correct choices. Each of us create our own disease or health. We always have the choice. So, if we create disease we can also uncreate disease and create wellness. How we think. What we say. What we eat and drink. All of these are your choice to bring disease to your body or bring health, harmony, wellness and a long, vibrant life. Which do you desire?
What is stopping you from experiencing wellness? Whatever it is take action now to rebalance your body and you will move another step in the direction to amazing health.

Enjoy the journey,
