Post 1 – The 3 Treasures: Mind, Body & Spirit

Post 2 – The 5 Pillars of Health

Post 3 – The 8 Dimensions of Wellbeing

This is my third post on this topic of the most important facets of our lives. Here I illustrate and briefly describe the next manifestation of the concept of the 3 Treasures of the mind, body, and spirit to the “8 Dimensions of Wellbeing.” With this realization, we can see from the graphic below how the many sub-categories of the 5 Pillars and 8 Dimensions, are rooted in the original concepts of mind (qi) , body (jing), and spirit (Shen). Without the 3 Treasures, there are no 5 Pillars nor 8 Dimensions of Wellbeing. Without the roots, there are no trunks, branches or leaves on a tree.

Here are some brief descriptions of the 8 dimensions of well-being:

1. Physical Wellbeing – The ability to maintain a healthy physical body through regular and consistent exercise, appropriate nutrition, adequate sleep, and striving to avoid harmful habits such as tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption.
2. Emotional Wellbeing – Recognizing and managing one’s emotions, coping mechanisms for minimalizing mental stress, and developing resilience, while pursuing a positive outlook on life.
3. Intellectual Wellbeing – The ability to engage in lifelong learning that can stimulate cognitive mental activities, while also pursuing opportunities for problem-solving and creativity.
4. Social Wellbeing – Having the ability to foster and maintain healthy relationships, cultivating a sense of belonging, and also being able to contribute to a community.
5. Spiritual Wellbeing – Pursuing finding purpose and meaning in one’s life, having personal morals and values, while engaging in practices that can promote inner peace and harmony.
6. Occupational Wellbeing: The pursuit of achieving satisfaction and enrichment through a career or job, while balancing work and leisure, along with aligning career goals with personal goals, skills, and values.
7. Financial Wellbeing: Being able to manage financial resources effectively, while also planning for the future, and maintaining financial security and stability.
8. Environmental Wellbeing: Pursuing achieving harmony with the environment, by promoting sustainability, and creating healthy and safe areas at home and in one’s community.

Each and every dimension can affect another as they are all interconnected and can contribute to overall health, well-being, and relative happiness. Balance and harmony in these dimensions can help individuals to achieve a more fulfilling and well-rounded life.

I teach and offer lectures about holistic health, stress management, qigong, tai chi, baguazhang, meditation, phytotherapy (herbs), music for healing, self-massage, and Daoyin (yoga).

Please contact me if you, your business, organization, or group, might be interested in hosting me to speak on a wide spectrum of topics relative to better health, wellness, and fitness.

I look forward to further sharing more of my message by partnering with hospitals, wellness centers, VA centers, schools on all levels, businesses, and individuals that see the value in building a stronger nation through building a healthier population. I also have hundreds of FREE education video classes, lectures, and seminars available on my YouTube channel at:
