There are three important aspects to any human being – the mind, the body, and the spirit. Although they each have a unique role to play in making us humans, they are inseparable and interdependent. Unfortunately, over the years, there has been a tendancy for large segments of society to try and separate these three and to treat any problems with them individually so the body has become the domain of the doctors, the mind the domain of the psychiatrists, and the spirit the domain of the clergy. What needs to be understood is that when one treats a human being, they are treating a triad that is intricately intertwined. The whole person needs to be taken into consideration to as great an extent as that person allows. True health and well-being can only be achieved when all three are healthy.
