To know your soul is to know true health. Only then can you reach radiant living. But most people find it hard to manage the common cold gracefully, let alone to live a fully soulful and radiant life.
So, what is missing? What keeps you from feeling a complete sense of health and well-being? What is not quite right in your world? Perhaps more importantly, how do you know that something is missing or off track when you don’t even know what that “something” is?
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. Unfortunately, our day-to-day challenges— our inherent human condition—inevitably gets in the way. Modern healthcare models fail to include a Soul Health approach; they generally only focus on physical aspects of our well-being. And despite the fact that doctor-patient relationship research indicates that over 90 percent of those seeking medical care would like their provider to integrate a spiritual component in their healing, this vital element still remains unaddressed.
The Soul Health Model was designed to illustrate the life force of an ever-evolving tree, with the branches of the tree representing ten primary elements of the human condition. These branches must themselves be in balance, both separately and together for the soul to grow and evolve—and for us to flourish in our everyday lives. Each branch represents only one key to our overall sense of wholeness or soul health. These include Physical, Psychological, Social, Interpersonal, Social, Intellectual/Occupational, Financial, Environmental, Spiritual, Sexual, and Recreational (Fun & Leisure) branches of health. Each branch is but one bridge between the human condition and the soul. The entire tree represents the interplay between the two and illustrates the detrimental impact on our life when any one of the branches is not healthy. The model emphasizes that when one branch is “broken” it is impossible for the rest of the tree to remain unaffected. Even one unhealthy branch can have a traumatic impact on the soul’s overall health.
In her book, Soul Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living, Dr. Katherine Kelly provides the blueprint for reaching optimal health and paves the way for our souls to fully evolve. She emphasizes that we must partner with our soul to more effectively reach radiant health, which also creates the best opportunity for our ongoing evolution. This model is used in her daily psychotherapy practice as well as with her workshop participants to address all aspects of well-being.
