Study Notes

The Whole Person

An individual is composed of three key aspects: Physical, Intellectual, and Emotional
All three aspects should work in harmony

Physical Aspect

The physical aspect is often emphasized, but it doesn't automatically mean good health or strength
The body houses the spirit (feelings) and the mind (thoughts)

Intellectual Aspect

The mind guides the physical and emotional aspects
The mind learns and communicates information to the body and feelings
The mind's beliefs manifest in the body's actions
Individuals store both positive and negative thoughts and beliefs.

Emotional Aspect

Emotions are often feared and difficult to manage
Unmanaged negative emotions can be stored and repressed
Repression harms the self, hindering the ability to access feelings when needed.
