13. Culture of Wellness


What have you learnt from Abolfazl about wellness in Iran? How different it is from what you have
expected? What new perspectives did it bring? (Write at least three specific ideas.)











Homework: WELLNESS SPIN of my country

Instructions: “Put your country” into the center of the wellness wheel and look at life in your
country from the perspective of each of the dimensions. Write down what people in your country
usually do, what is common, look at the habits and rules, the good ones and the bad ones too.

The Wellness Spin is a simple process using the wellness wheel to explore your experience and the
benefits within each dimension of wellness. Because the wheel is a hologram wherein each dimension
affects all the other dimensions, as you become more aware of your life through this holographic
form of inquiry your total experience becomes greater than the sum of the parts. The results are
usually a calmer, more centered, and more effective you.

This holographic exercise can’t be figured out or explained; it can only be experienced by going
through the process. The more spins you do, the more integrated you become.
