Body Spirituality and Wellness

The ancient Hebrews viewed body and soul as integrated –they were not meant to be viewed as separate in the manner that they are today. What touches the soul, impacts the body and vice versa. There are three reasons that we integrate these

  1. Our bodies are the temple of God. We view this temple as sacred and treat it as such. We view caring for this temple as an aspect of our stewardship of the resources that God has given us.
  2. Our bodies are instruments of worship. Utilizing our body for prayer offers an entire additional level of encounter with God as we worship with our whole being.
  3. As a rich nation, we join in solidarity with the rest of the world by not overindulging.
