Where is Health ?

When talk about health my perpective and definition center to holistic health,
to see everthing connected, holistic health is used many times in literature with a variety
of different connotations. Holism also has its origin in the Greek word holos, which
means “whole.” Holism is not about any cult or religion, rather, it is an approach that
looks at things in a total perspective. As far as we know, it was first used in 1926 by Jan
Smuts, in his book Holism and Evolution. The superspecialization of scientific
disciplines has created a silos mentality—leading to a myopic understanding of
knowledge, and compromising our ability to deal with the most obstinate problems.
Holistic health typically considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. A
holistic approach to healing goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. Health is not just
the absence of disease; much more is needed for an individual to qualify as being in a
healthy state. The individual’s capacity to adapt to conditions like extreme hot or cold
temperatures, and the experience and expression of psychological feelings like joy or
sorrow are signs of a healthy state. Modern researchers now accept health as the ability
to adapt and to self-manage. Optimum levels of sensory and motor function are the
requirements of a healthy state, which the individual must possess in order to be able to
conduct social tasks, and follow spiritual aspirations.
From my perspective, health model is based on proactive efforts to monitor,
maneuver, and maintain healthy status, considers the surrounding environment, and the
society as part of the broad concept of health. Stresses the importance of creating an
awareness of health. Health is the process we need empowers individuals to know their
strengths, limitations, inclination, and proneness to disease, and to carry out continuous
self-assessment. Thus, we helps every individual to take charge of his or her own
health. This philosophy of “our health in our hands”
I sees health and well-being as a state of balance between a person and every
aspect of that person's context. This indicates primarily a respectful and caring
relationship with the natural environment and a lifestyle appropriate to the exigencies of
natural forces and climates. It can also be extrapolated to include relationships between
the body's constitution and the way we work and play, where we live, what we eat, how
we modulate our relationships with others and so on. The interdependence of mind and
body goes without saying in such a comprehensive view of health. Illness is not usually
an arbitrary and unlucky event but an expression of a lack of balance, and as such it is
up to the individual to take care of their lifestyle to keep their health.

Thoughts on Vertebrae
 The individual bones of the spine are the vertebrae. These are the building
blocks of the spinal column. The vertebrae protect and support the spinal cord. They
also bear the majority of the weight put upon your spine. The body of each vertebra is
the large, round portion of bone. The body of each vertebra is attached to a bony ring.
When the vertebrae are stacked one on top of the other, this ring creates a hollow tube
where the spinal cord passes through. The bony ring attached to the vertebral body
consists of several parts. First, the laminae extend from the body to cover the spinal
canal, which is the hole in the center of the vertebrae. Second, the spinous process is
the bony portion opposite the body of the vertebra. I feel this part if run my hand down
back. Then there are two transverse processes (little bony bumps), where the back
muscles attach to the vertebrae. Finally, the pedicle is a bony projection that connects
to both sides of the lamina.
The vertebra, like all bones, has an outer shell called cortical bone that is hard
and strong. The inside is made of a soft, spongy type of bone that is called cancellous
bone. Most people live with the assumption that tension is bad and should be gotten rid
of. However, research has shown that tension is a natural, and potentially useful, part of
everyday life. The problem is not with the tension, but with our bodies defending against
it. Pain and problematic health patterns occur when instead of using life’s tension to rise
to the occasion and therefore surf the waves of life, we resist and contract against what
is supposed to be life giving energy.
From my experience when i feel tension it’s sign for me to pause and rest, and
when my spine send signal tension or stiffness i feel like i want to move and dance with
it. From drawing vertebrae i just realize my spine is my very very good friend that i need
to take care for the lifetime. The spine is one of the most important parts of my body.
Without it, i could not keep yourself upright or even stand up. It gives my body structure
and support. It allows me to move about freely and to bend with flexibility. The spine is
also designed to protect my spinal cord. The spinal cord is a column of nerves that
connects my brain with the rest of my body, allowing me to control movements. Without
a spinal cord, i could not move any part of my body, and my organs could not function.
