Abstract
Wellbeing has been defined as a positive approach to living – an approach that
emphasizes the whole person. Lifestyle has been found to be the most important
factor determining our pattern of health. The wellness-oriented lifestyle as
recommended by sowa rigpa encourages us to adopt habits and behaviors that
promote better health, improved quality of life and longevity. Sowa rigpa explains
that medicine for health and wellbeing is not only found in pills but also in the food
we eat, the lifestyle we consider and the practices of mindfulness. This paper attempts
to present a brief discussion on the concept of our body’s natural health, the root
cause of diseases, our bodies’ energy types and suitable dietary habits; and some
mindfulness practices, all of which are based on the knowledge and principles of sowa
rigpa. In a world where self-healing and naturopathy is gaining popularity, the
teaching of sowa rigpa provides a truly holistic and unique healing system that very
much embodies this approach of health and well-being.
