An allround Holistic Approach to Well-being

Today more than ever it is a struggle to balance home life and work life and find time for yourself. Perhaps in your attempt to balance home and work commitments you can’t find time to squeeze in a brief workout, or to read a book, or take a class to improve some area in your life, or to go to bed early enough to have enough sleep, or even to just sit down and relax for 5 minutes? You know you don’t want to cheat either home or family but your life cries out for more.

The pressures of modern living leave us very little time for family or personal pursuits. Trying to fit everything in means we often don’t sleep enough for our bodies to recover from the day’s stress. In addition, we face an onslaught of unprecedented environmental challenges that take a toll on our health. Subsequently, our natural rhythms and equilibrium are disturbed and our lives are thrown out of balance, often with disastrous results.

A traditional approach to health focuses just on the body - our physical health - but reliable research is showing that we cannot separate our body from our mind, our spirit, and our lifestyle.

In 1975, in response to these challenges, Isamu Masuda founded Nikken, a global wellness technology enterprise and the world’s only total wellness company. Isamu Masuda recognized that wellness depends on creating balance in what he called the 5 Pillars of Health - Healthy Body, Mind, Family, Society, and Finances.

Without balance in these 5 pillars no one can genuinely claim to be healthy. Despite our preoccupation with physical well-being, is it not true that someone with a sick mind is also not healthy? How about a person without a visible means of support, chronically broke? Money provides the comfort that makes life worth living. The term “health” entails more than just the absence of visible health issues, much like the term peace means much more than the absence of war.

Balance is the key. What are the areas where you feel out of balance? Are you living your life in a way that is enjoyable and purposeful - full of vitality and health in all areas? What would you want to change? What quality of life do you choose?

I believe in a holistic philosophy of bringing balance to all these critical areas of your life : Body, Mind, Family, Society and Finances. Discovering and living a balanced approach strengthens each of these pillars and results in a more satisfying, healthy, and rewarding lifestyle.
