Wellness

As an irreducible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics different from those of the parts

Martha E. Rogers defines a unitary human being as an irreducible, indivisible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics that are specific to the whole. Human beings are not disembodied entities, nor are they mechanical aggregates. Man is a unified whole possessing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of his parts. People and their environment are perceived as irreducible energy fields integral with one another and continuously creative in their evolution.

Martha E. Rogers uses the term passive health to symbolize wellness and the absence of disease and major illness. Her promotion of positive health connotes direction in helping people with opportunities for rhythmic consistency. Later, she wrote that wellness is a much better term, because the term health is very ambiguous.

Martha E. Rogers defines environment as an irreducible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics different from those of the parts.

Martha E. Rogers uses the term health in many of her earlier writings without clearly defining the term. Health is an expression of the life process. Traits and behaviors result from the simultaneous interaction of human and environmental domains, and health and disease are part of the same continuum.
