Soul Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living Revised Second Edition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781732048911)

Soul Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living describes how the soul is at the hub of all aspects of our health and well-being and provides the roadmap to reaching optimal health--soul health. Until now, this key element of healing has been overlooked in modern approaches to healthcare, despite the wish of patients.

On average, patients spend less than seven minutes with their health care providers during appointments. This is barely enough to address the common cold, let alone treat people as a unified whole. Also, over 90% of patients report wishing that their healthcare providers would address spiritual matters, while less than 5% do. With this patient feedback, Dr. Katherine Kelly, clinical health psychologist and former medical school professor, created a self-use health model that empowers patients to take positive steps toward their optimal health and addresses a patient's spiritual needs at the same time.

Our soul's most natural state is that of unimpeded growth. Therefore, our soul's evolution depends entirely on our willingness and ability to balance our lives in such a way that we create an unobstructed environment for its growth. In the Soul Health Model, the soul is depicted as the life force within an ever-evolving tree. Much like the growth of an actual tree, our soul's evolution depends on the health of the elements available to it and only thrives when the essentials of our existence are balanced and fulfilled. The model illustrates the ten primary elements of the human condition which must be balanced in order to reach radiant health. Because healthcare is not one size fits all, this model allows patients to both get to the core of their healthcare concerns, while also addressing a person's individual spiritual needs in the process.

Soul Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living provides the framework for achieving ultimate balance and fulfillment in your everyday life as well as provides important self-empowerment tools for your soul's evolution. Several self-assessments and questionnaires help readers to identify and prioritize which "branches" of health need attention first. Soul Health serves as both an instructional guide and workbook as readers create their path to radiant health.

To know your soul is to know true health. Only then can you reach radiant living.
