Since the dawn of time our human race has been blessed with good gifts. According to ancient scripture, the Creator made this wondrous world with an astonishing array of plant and animal life. In the center of it all, he created a garden called Eden as a gift for his first two children, Adam and Eve. Along with their garden home, one of the finest gifts God gave the new couple was abundant health. Health in mind, body, and spirit.
By closely examining the creation story and the Eden environment, we can learn much about feeling fit, living long, and finding peace in our lives today. In fact, after reading and rereading the remarkable story of earth’s establishment in the Book of Genesis, a team of healthcare visionaries chose to use the word CREATION as an easy-to-remember acronym that summarizes the principles of whole-person health.
The letters of the acronym stand for:
- Choice
- Rest
- Environment
- Activity
- Trust
- Interpersonal
- Outlook
- Nutrition
These principles of wellness are timeless. Though the perfect Eden environment has been lost and we now live in a world broken by disease, suffering and death, these principles still have the power to transform lives. By putting them into practice, you can start your journey toward optimal health and happiness today.
