人、環境、健康－－自宇宙生命之「易」論人體健康之合「一」

People, the Environment and Health: The 'Oneness' of Human Health from the Perspective of Universal Life Presented in 'Changes'

本文旨在拓展「護理範疇」之概念，將護理理論中之要素：「環境」擴展至宇宙生命；「人」則生於天地之間，是宇宙的一部份，與宇宙是合一而不可分的；而人體之「健康」則在於身心靈之合一。因人體本就具有宇宙的智慧，亦即「易」的智慧，人體的智慧就是宇宙的智慧。人體本身有它的意識，具有偉大的自我療癒能力，故健康是生命的原貌，現代人卻以為生病才是人體的自然現象；殊不知「易」方為維護人體健康的宇宙律。唐代大醫孫思邈謂：「不知易者，不知醫也」；清朝張楠亦有言：「易書中一言一句，均為醫學指針」（臥龍真人，1993），一再強調「易」與醫的密切關係。本文闡述大自然與健康之關係，自「健康信念」、「醫與易」之論述，及至對「現代醫學」的評價，終而使人瞭解健康即是身心靈的合「一」，也是「易」。因為身體是可見的心靈，心靈亦即內在的身體。身體是一個高智慧的有機體，如實的反應我們的心靈世界，而心靈亦如實的以身體症狀來呈現。人的苦痛皆來自於內在心靈世界的分岐，身心靈的合「一」乃是健康與喜悅的唯一保證；此即「易」的宇宙律，護理的未來也。

This paper aimed to expand the paradigm of nursing and expand the essential factors of nursing theories beyond ”environment” to encompass universal life. While individuals live between the sky and earth, we are an inseparable part of the universe. ”Health” is derived from a oneness that embraces the body, mind and spirit. The human body contains the wisdom of the universe, known in Chinese philosophy as the wisdom of ”Changes”. The body has its own consciousness and possesses great powers of self-healing. Healthiness is the original condition of life. Modern medicine assumes sickness to be a natural phenomenon, with the essential nature of ”Changes” neglected as a universal law for maintaining health. Dr. Sun, a renowned physician from the Tang Dynasty, was quoted as saying ”Knowing Changes is the prerequisite of knowing medicine.” Another saying holds that, ”Every word and every sentence in the Book of Changes is an indicator of medicine.” Much emphasis has been placed on the relationship between ”Changes” and ”medicine” in the past. This paper elaborates the relationship between nature and human health in order to provide a clear understanding of the nature of true health, described from the perspectives of medicine and ”Changes”, an evaluation of modern medical science and the oneness of body-mind-spirit, which is the reality of health. The human body is thus a reflection of the mind and spirit, while the mind and spirit is the ”inner body”. The body is a highly intelligent organism that truly reflects our inner world. Our inner world is also displayed through physical symptoms. As human suffering is caused by separation from our inner life, the only path to enjoying a healthy and joyful life is to achieve a oneness between our body-mind-spirit. Such is a universal law, which is called ”Changes” or ”Oneness”.
