Elisabeth Kübler-Ross said health is balance. This is the model she used to find it.

Elisabeth taught that every person has four quadrants — physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual — and that suffering, whether in the dying or in those who care for them, almost always begins when one quadrant crowds out the others. She used this model in her Life, Death and Transition workshops for twenty-five years. It has never before been taught as a course.
