M.Phil. / This dissertation is a study of the importance of the awareness of a balanced life in accordance with the six life dimensions in order to preventing chronic fatigue. According to Hafen et al., specialists in psycho-physiological medicine estimate that possibly as much as 90 per cent of all the health problems can be traced, at least in part, to the influence of emotions. The fact that chronic fatigue is related to "disease" and is sometimes the forerunner of illnesses in the human body enhances the importance of life-force energy. We know that the cells of our bodies are fed by various nutrients derived from the food we eat as well as oxygen from the air we breathe. But our cells are also fed by a continuous stream of life-force energy. We possess a variety of specialised energy-distributing systems that also support the cells and organs of our bodies. These energy systems are affected by different factors that can enhance or inhibit the flow of life-force energy to the cells and organs of our bodies. Among those critical factors are our emotions, our relationships to others, our ability to give and to receive love, and even our relationship to God. While seemingly nebulous and difficult to define in terms of specific physiological effects, these emotional and spiritual factors are of great importance to the sustenance and support of the tissues and organs of our bodies.
