正向心理與健康──以「心身合一覺察循環模式」論「心」與「身」之維養

Positive Psychology and Well-being: Discussion of the of Mental and Physical Health Maintenance with Perceive Cycle Model of Psychosomatic Unity

生而為人面對諸多煩惱，承受苦痛與陷入困境損害我們的身心。當人們在生活中遇到挫折艱難時，便反射式地升起負面情緒且長期或週而復始地受其奴役，長久下來除了「心」因為承受壓力引發的負面情緒而耗損，「身」也因「心」的耗損而傷痕累累。本文旨在探討超越性思維下之「正向心理」對「心」「身」健康維養之意涵、「心」「身」相互影響機制，並提出以第二波正向心理學所強調之「整體」、「陰陽調和」、「意義」及「轉化成長」嘗試建構「心身合一覺察循環模式」，期藉「心至身」或由「身至心」兩進路啟動自我心身狀態的覺察、行動，幫助個體在意識後，能夠做出調整，啟動正向成長循環轉變，進而協助個人看見生命的意義與價值；助人工作者可以此模式發展實務方案、應用於工作中。本文提出之一得之見乃為引玉之磚，期能引發學、業界先進之感而創造更多價值之識。

"Psychological distress presents in all stages of life. Personal crises bring about worries and agonizing feeling that could harm both mental and physical well-being. In the long term, the negative emotions that reflexively arise from frustrations may affect one's physical condition as the deficient mind is strained. The focus of this paper is two-fold. The first objective is to explore the implications of positive psychology under transcendental thinking on health maintenance and the mechanism through which mental and physical condition interact. The second objective is to establish a perceptual cycle model of psychosomatic unity based on the concepts of holistic person, yin and yang harmony, meaning, transformation and growth in the light of the second wave positive psychology (PP2.0) and apply it to activate the awareness of the psychosomatic state through the“physical to mental”and the“mental to physical”approaches. Such model may be utilized to help individuals to initiate positive growth cycle and enhance self-cherishing awareness through specific mental and physical adjustment actions. It is expected that this piece of work may help individuals see the meaning and value of life; provide professional helpers with a new approach to develop practical programs; and, finally, provides a new perspective for future researches."
