PART 1: WHAT ARE THE 4 PARTS OF HUMAN BEINGS?
Whole Person Approach
Human beings are comprised of four (4) main parts. These include the body (physical self), mind (cognitive and behavioral self), spirit, and emotional self.
Body
The body provides human beings with a physical vessel for mobility and experiencing life.
Mind
The mind enables human beings to process information, make predictions and decisions and utilize their body to act upon them.
Spirit
The spirit is the non-physical essence of oneself that provides or includes a sense of spirituality and/or connection to other life, the planet, and the universe beyond.
Emotional Self
As a component of body, mind and spirit, the emotional self allows human beings to feel and experience emotions, as well as to feel and process connection with themselves and others.
