The body is a magnificent instrument; constantly trying to alert us of imbalances, always repairing, regenerating, and replenishing. Illness is a symptom of imbalance. When we cover up the symptoms with simple band-aid responses, we squash the messenger. We must become aware of that message and honor the symptoms so we can discover the root cause. We are ultimately responsible for our own health. Likewise, with the right tools and applying the proper knowledge, we are capable of self-healing, self-inspiration, and finally self-realization.

DR. HOBAN’S 7 ASPECTS OF OPTIMAL WELLNESS
There is pure beauty in this world and it resides within each and every one of us. It is a light of divinity that inspires and endures. With the awareness of our true self, we will find a liberation and peace that dwells in this dimension of divinity – it is who we are. Having awareness and awakening to this truth is an essential part of healing on a whole level.
The mind is the most amazing tool available to the human being. In order to master your life, you must master your mind. This concept comes from the power of belief. Many say, “You are what you eat” or “You are what you think.” I suggest it is most accurate to say “You are what you believe.” No matter how conscientious we are about diet, exercise or even positive thinking, what we believe will affect our state of well-being greater than all the other concepts put together. It’s from this basis (our belief system) that everything else manifests.
Emotions are expressions of energy, and have a profound affect not only on ourselves, but on those around us. Although we feel emotions internally, they are transmitted outward, affecting those in our life. Being controlled by our emotions especially the negative ones can be detrimental to our health, as it rapidly compounds a state of stress on the body and dampens the spirit. Emotional mastery is a skill that can be learned and applied via the mind and the soul. For wellness, emotional stability management must be achieved, augmented by the natural state of peace and joy of the spirit.
If our bodies are not healthy, the other aspects of wellness; like the mind, body, and soul, are much more challenging to keep in balance and harmony. Although there are general guidelines to wellness, every person needs individualized attention to create a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, the right supplements, and suitable exercise, to meet specific needs.
Environmental respect entails an understanding of the importance of our earth – the soil, the air, the water and social influences. The Earth is the pharmacy that the body needs. To realize how beautiful and magical this place is. We should do nothing but cherish and honor the land as it provides an abundance of wealth for our everyday use. We have grown accustomed and take advantage of what we have free in this world. For our health, we must not overlook this important element of our existence but instead respect and revere its gift to our lives./s
Everything we suffer from, be it poverty, weight issues, ill health or unhappiness comes from a lack of balance. Balanced lifestyles don’t happen because we do everything perfectly; the idea is to create equilibrium within ourselves. Through this type of balance, you can attain what you desire.
One of the most fundamental steps to wellness is claiming responsibility for ourselves and our world. On a global level, we’ve given our power to advertising agencies, doctors, fast-food chains, pharmacies and oil companies. Personally, every choice we make either detracts power from our lives or empowers our lives. In giving our power to external sources, we passively agree with their conditions and relinquish control. But, we do have a choice, and it can be made right now. We have the choice to take our power back. We have created this world as we know it and beginning now; we can help create a new world that will support the best life possible.
