Introducing the Picture of Health

Author : Bhadresh Bundela


The Picture of Health has been devised by holistic health pioneer, Dr Rosy Daniel. It is a revolutionary new holistic self-assessment tool which is taken from her interactive Health Creation Programme and is based upon Dr Daniel’s 12 Health Creation Principles. In less than 1 hour, The Picture of Health will give you real clarity about the current state of your health and lifestyle. You will identify quickly your strengths and vulnerabilities in all areas of mind, body, spirit and environment. With this valuable insight you can plan your Health Creation Goals to achieve optimum health.

Why should I do the Picture of Health?

Quite simply, from any starting point, our aim is to enable you to live the most energized and fulfilling life possible in which you reach your potential for health and happiness. We know that the state of your health is related to your life balance and health in all areas of body, mind, spirit and the environment in which you live and work. It is also strongly related to how you look after yourself and what we call your ‘health-defining behaviour’. By doing this simple exercise, you will see immediately your strengths and vulnerabilities and will be able to plan where to make the most effective changes to get you into the very best shape and cut down all the risk factors that predict poor health in later life.

The Risks of Western Lifestyle

Currently all of us who live the Western lifestyle are at high risk of degenerative illness which can be dramatically improved by simple lifestyle changes. We are here to empower, guide and motivate you to make those changes and get yourself in control of your most valuable asset – your health!

Currently, 1 in 4 people in developed countries die of cancer and 2 in 4 of heartdisease. With both cancer and heart disease being over 75% lifestyle related, doing first the Picture of Health and then engaging in a Health Creation Programme you can radically reduce your risk of serious illness, and also get yourself feeling really great.

Based on scientific evidence and over 20 years experience of holistic medicine, Dr Rosy Daniel has defined these 12 Health Creation Principles on which our health depends, and the 10 key factors within each principle which make for true health in each of these principles. By answering 10 questions for each principle and seeing your score on the Picture of Health, you can see at a glance an assessment of your health status and risk, which would take hours of skilled holistic help and great cost to evaluate.

With this immediate ‘snap shot’ of the current state of your health and lifestyle,you will become fully aware and empowered to make the vital changes necessary to prevent illness and achieve optimum health. But if you do not feel strong enough or motivated enough to do this, our Mentors are there to coach you until you are strong enough to maintain a really good level of health and happiness.

For many of us, even when we know what we need to change, busy-ness, habits, inertia, depression or just sheer laziness and the safety of our comfort zone keep us stuck in our old patters. We therefore provide professional Health Creation Coaching help from our Health Creation Mentors to help you make and sustain these changes in achievable steps that enable you to succeed.
