At Technalink, we are often asked about the process of introducing spirituality into the workplace and the corporate world. We have to say that there is really no one right answer, especially as existing organizational cultures and employee demographics can present variables to approach. However, at Technalink we have also found that when you live your life from the standpoint of spirit, you are also able to present an example that can become the choice of others.
For both ourselves and our entire staff, Technalink did find that using wellness dimensions as a guideline has definitely helped in a deeper understanding of what it means to run a spiritual workplace. In the process, we have also found that embracing this holistic approach to health and wellness has benefitted everyone in becoming a greater expression of self, and this manifestation of core intent also improves personal and professional lives.
You Are Many Things
Another wonderful thing about the dimensions of wellness approach is it helps to reinforce the concept that all beings are a multitude of experiences and facets that can impact us in positive or negative ways. When we begin to embrace this multitude perspective of self, we also begin to recognize that there are core themes which run through these aspects. In examining the core themes, we find our personal intent, which does extend out into our professional lives.
In brevity, the wellness dimensions theory states that in order for people to be fully well, they must achieve health in six interrelated dimensions:
- Emotional
- Mental
- Physical
- Spiritual
- Social
- Intellectual
In many cases, people will have good health in some dimensions, but not others. Ideally, there should be a balance of attention that is paid to health in each of these categories.
With holistic wellness programs, spirituality in the workplace can be introduced as an integral aspect of being human. As this is accepted and understood, people also become more cognizant of the fact that they have the choice to cultivate their energy and self to become a stronger manifestation of individual intent. The result is that energy of this balance and wellbeing resonates with others at any stage in the process, and it can create opportunities for growth in many arenas.
A final word about embracing spirituality and the true expression of self, is that it can also lead to a sense of personal clarity that also extends to the whole person’s lifestyle. Within this clarity comes confidence, and with that, is the ability to manifest intent through action, being, and presence.
