The Wellness Paradigm

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ~Krishnamurti!!!

The wellness paradigm holds that there is no separation between mind, body, spirit, and emotions. All aspects of the human condition are so tightly connected that it is impossible to distinguish one from the other. An ancient theory that is supported by many experts in several disciplines suggests each aspect of the human condition is comprised of energy, with the most dense energy being the most obvious and tangible: the physical body. Here are definitions for each aspect of the wellness paradigm:

* Emotional well-being is best defined as the ability to feel and express the entire range of human emotions from anger to love, and to control them, not be controlled by them.

* Physical well-being is defined as the optimal condition of each of the body’s physiological systems. These include pulmonary, cardiovascular, nervous, immune, reproductive, urinary, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and digestive.

* Mental well-being is understood as the ability to gather, process, recall and communicate information. Like a computer, the mind can gather and store mass quantities of information.

* Spiritual well-being is defined as the maturation of higher consciousness as developed through the dynamic integration of three facets: relationships (internal, how you relate to yourself and a higher power, however you conceive this to be; and external, how you relate and interact with all people in your life), a personal value system, and a meaningful purpose in life.

Calmed in body, calmed in speech, well-centered & calm, having disgorged the baits of the world, a monk is called thoroughly calmed.

– Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

2-Thess. 2: 9,10.
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how satan works. he will use all sorts of displays of power through signs & wonders that serve the LIE.
and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the Truth and so be saved!

The Wellness Paradigm addresses the body as an innately intelligent, self-governing and self-regulating being. When that being is exposed to the appropriate environment it will express optimal health. The Wellness Model endorses a pro-active, deliberate approach to living that encourages lifestyle behavioral patterns that ensure the provision of all elements considered essential for optimal cell function, while simultaneously avoiding those elements known to be inherently toxic to cell function. The objective is to observe, support and encourage nature – not suppress, manipulate or interfere with it.

The Wellness Paradigm recognizes that sickness is not the opposite of health – but rather the absence of health. Just as darkness is the absence of light – not its opposite. The only way to brighten a room is to add light, not reduce darkness. Likewise, the only way to get well is to increase health, not fixate on reducing sickness.

The objective of the Bonfire Health Program is to empower individuals with the knowledge of a genetically congruent lifestyle (“what to do”) and equip them with the lifestyle strategies proven to get the best results (the “how to do”).

Our purpose is to create Well People.
