Quote for the Week - Spiritual Ailments

Many wellness practitioners look at 'disease' as the process of dis ease, or a disruption in the normal homeostasis or ease state of the body.

This week's wellness quote comes from Nathaniel Hawthorne, famed author of The Scarlet Letter.

His quote underscores some of the research on the mind-body connection and how much the mind plays a role in the healing or the disease process.

A bodily disease
which we look upon as
whole and entire within itself,
may after all be
but a symptom of
some ailment
in the spiritual part.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
