The whole person in health care (with approaches from a perspective of mind-body medicine): a personal view.

This paper offers a brief mind-body view of: What the whole person is The four aspects of life: physical, emotional, mental, subtle energy states. The concept that health and wellbeing is analogous to developing musical harmony between the four aspects. Each aspect can be imagined as a musical note. When in balance the harmony between the notes is clear. When out of balance the effect is discordant. Ways that personal performance may be enhanced by the integration of these four aspects including self help approaches, mindful bodywork and energetic medicines. 'When we are whole, we shall be healed...' (Caroline Stevensen).
