• Seeks comfort, acclaim, affection from the world

Spirit

• Originates from the Divine
• Breath of the Divine gives life to the body
• Body without spirit is a corpse
• Seeks well-being from the Divine

Balancing Body and Spirit

• Importance of balancing these aspects

Acknowledging Pain

• Denying one aspect leads to imbalance
• Worldly discomfort impacts the body: physical pain
• Need to acknowledge painful experiences

Including the Spirit

• Remembering to include the spirit in times of discomfort
• Not concluding on circumstances without the Divine perspective

Effects of Imbalance

Denying the Spirit

• Spirit provides additional guidance and support

Denying the Body

• Living only with spirit: lose contact with the world
• Importance of living in the world but not totally of it

Wholehearted Living
