Module Code 單元編號 GEF2027 Module Title 單元名稱 EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH: A HOLISTIC APPROACH 情緒、靈性與生理健康：全人發展進路 Module Synopsis 單元概要 This course explores the multidimensional facets of holistic health. Emphasizing the integration of body, mind and spirit, especially techniques and therapies will be introduced including, but not limited to, stress management, nutrition and popular therapeutic movement such as: meditation, massage, music and others. The primary goal of this course is through lectures, seminars, workshops and out-of-class activities to bring insight into regulating individual health development, increased knowledge about our body relating to whole person fulfillment, and self-responsibility about health into each student’s lifestyle. This course aims to provide students with the knowledge and attitudes for the enhancement of holistic health. Emerging perspectives have suggested that health as depicted in conventional medicine is far too limited, and that health is not just the absence of diseases. It is the outcome of emotional (e.g., happiness) and spiritual well-being (e.g., a sense of purpose) as well as physical strength. Holistic health therefore provides a nourishing ground for attributes that contribute directly to personal competence and adaptability in a globalized and changing society, and the learning and development towards a whole person with intellectual and moral maturity. The course distinguished itself from common courses in personal health and adjustment by its emphasis on the interface between emotional, spiritual and physical health that critically determines effective functioning across the lifespan. This course therefore promotes personal commitment towards wellness in a lifelong process that transcends physical conditions.
