Foundation of Well-Being

At RE SELF, we define well-being as a state of equanimity and equilibrium resulting from one’s holistic wellness, how “well” one is as a whole being - mind, body, and soul. To continually adjust and feed balance requires nourishing all aspects of our Wholeness: Mind, Body, and Soul. Each aspect is interconnected.

Our conscious living and flourishing is interdependent on the nourishment of each individual aspect and all aspects as a whole. 

MIND, OUR TOOL

What we think and believe, both consciously and subconsciously, profoundly impacts our personal reality. Well-being and evolution requires us to observe our thoughts and beliefs and to challenge and change them when they do not serve us. Discovery and learning help us expand our minds and fuel our evolution. 

BODY, OUR VESSEL

Our living bodies play a crucial role as the home to our minds and souls. It is a fundamental part of our existence and requires nurturing and attention. Our bodies are intricate systems that are designed to communicate with us; well-being depends on listening to the body’s signals (from emotions to intuitions). What we do with them, feed them, and how we use them may not only positively impact our body but also our mind and soul.

SOUL, OUR ESSENCE

Like our mind and our body, our soul requires its own nourishment, which is indispensable to our well-being. Neglecting this non-physical, yet vital, aspect of being diminishes well-being. Soul “food” differs for everyone. By finding what speaks to, feeds, and energizes our soul, we can use our energy in that direction.

WHOLENESS, OUR ENTIRE MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEING

Functioning as a whole being is the result of continually nourishing and balancing all aspects of self. When we deliberately give attention to and nourish each aspect, we strengthen our foundation of wholeness within. These aspects of self are always in flux. Wholeness asks us to dance with change, ever-adapting our awareness and approach to match our needs in the present moment and season of our lives.

Wisdom Empowering RE SELF

RE SELF is powered by three essential disciplines for conscious living, well-being, and evolution: philosophy, science, and practice. Each discipline offers diverse wisdom, knowledge, and skills to nourish our Foundation of Well-Being and live consciously.

PHILOSOPHIES

“The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.” From the Latin, “philosophia,” meaning the love of wisdom. 

Philosophy is wisdom to help us understand the world, ourselves, reality, and existence. It is fundamental; its application guides us to act in alignment with the truths we hold. 

At RE SELF, we respect all philosophical traditions as having something to teach us. We believe a diverse array of wisdom and ideas is essential for a holistic and harmonious understanding and way of life. As such, we utilize knowledge from both philosophies of the East and West. 

SCIENCES

“The study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.”

Understanding ourselves - our minds, brains, behaviors, and their interconnection - with compassionate clarity is essential for self-awareness and empathy. Psychology and neuroscience allow us to investigate and understand our thinking, our patterns, how our brains’ pathways form, and our behavior - past and present - in order to grow, evolve, and strengthen our well-being.

Understanding the world around us - how we relate to it, how it relates to us, and the depth of interconnection among all - translates our practiced awareness, compassion, and understanding out into the world. Environmental science and sustainability extends this to our global home - in our shared community of Mother Earth - beginning at the individual level. We truly appreciate and understand what interdependence and harmony is and our role in that system.

Change begins within at a subtle level. Individuals don’t need to be scientists to use this framework to evoke change; we just need to learn and act in alignment.

PRACTICES

“The actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it.”

RE SELF curates and teaches a plethora of practices, skills, and tools that nourish our well-being and propel us to flourish. Designed for our application in our everyday lives, outside of the platform, RE SELF guides us to discover what works for us and how to integrate it for self-sufficient flourishing.
