The workings of the mind happen in body. The mind is strongly influenced by individual belief systems. Spirit is the way one looks at himself and his relationships. It is basically the belief system and its reflections. For a spiritual journey the body needs to be trained. For emotional well being the body needs nurturing. The human body is such a beautiful creation. The process of growth or self actualisation hence should start with the body. The treatment can be physical movements, dietary, breathing exercises or meditation.

body, mind ,spirit

The above analysis is for conceptual understanding. No strict division between body, mind and spirit is possible. It's an organic unity. The analysis will help us to plan a human development strategy. It will also give a lead for our own understanding and pursuits. Let us look at institutions where these human faculties are nurtured. Development of the body is made in the gyms or play grounds. We learn skills in vocational schools. We develop communication skills, personality and our general public behaviour in the finishing schools. Knowledge is developed in schools, colleges, universities and research stations.

Rejuvenation happens in spas or clubs. Emotions can be managed through knowledge and also physical interventions. The way to manage human cravings is a big part of emotion management. Relationship and attachment very strongly affect human emotions. These are strongly influenced by our deep beliefs. We do not have well organized institutions to manage emotions. Hence there is a need to have institutions which will help in developing skill for managing emotions. Rejuvenation helps in temporary energization of the body. All other faculties are an interaction/ common set with spirit or spirit itself. Development of these faculties needs to be institutionalized. Mukti Kiran is an initiative in this regard.
