Health realization (HR) is a resiliency approach to personal and community psychology〔Mills, R: ''Realizing Mental Health: Toward a new Psychology of Resiliency'', Sulberger & Graham Publishing, Ltd. 1995.〕 first developed in the 1980s by Roger C. Mills and George Pransky, and based on ideas and insights these psychologists elaborated from attending the lectures of philosopher and author Sydney Banks.〔Pransky, J: ''Prevention from the Inside-Out'', p. 109. Authorhouse, 2003〕 HR first became known for its application in economically and socially marginalized communities living in highly stressful circumstances (see ''Community Applications'' below). HR focuses on the nature of thought and how it affects one's experience of the world. Students of HR are taught that they can change how they react to their circumstances by becoming aware that they are creating their own experience as they respond to their thoughts, and by connecting to their "innate health" and "inner wisdom."〔See ''Further reading'' below.〕 HR also goes under the earlier name of "Psychology of Mind" and most recently "Three Principles" understanding. ==The health realization model== In the health realization ("HR") model, all psychological phenomena, from severe disorder to glowing health, are presented as manifestations of three operative "principles"〔Mills, R. and Spittle, E.: ''The Wisdom Within'', p. 11, 40-49. Lone Pine Publishing. 2001.〕 first formulated as principles of human experience by Sydney Banks:〔Banks, S. ''The Missing Link: Reflections on Philosophy and Spirit'', p. 21-27. Lone Pine Publishing 1998〕 * Mind - the universal energy that animates all of life, the source of innate health and well-being. * Consciousness - the ability to be aware of one's life. * Thought - the power to think and thereby to create one's experience of reality. "Mind" has been likened to the electricity running a movie projector, and "Thought" to the images on the film. "Consciousness" is likened to the light from the projector that throws the images onto the screen, making them appear real.〔Mills, R: ''Realizing Mental Health: Toward a New Psychology of Resiliency'', p. 57. Sulberger & Graham Publishing, Ltd. 1995.〕 According to HR, people experience their reality and their circumstances through the constant filter of their thoughts.〔Pransky, J.: ''Somebody Should Have Told Us'', p. 4-5. Airleaf Publishing 2006.〕 Consciousness makes that filtered reality seem "the way it really is." People react to it as if this were true. But, when their thinking changes, reality seems different and their reactions change. Thus, according to HR, people are constantly creating their own experience of reality via their thinking.〔Pransky, J.: ''Somebody Should Have Told Us'', p. 5-7. Airleaf Publishing 2006.〕 People tend to experience their reality as stressful, according to HR, when they are having insecure or negative thoughts. But HR suggests that such thoughts do not have to be taken seriously.〔Pransky, J. ''Somebody Should Have Told Us'', p. 7. Airleaf Publishing 2006.〕 When one chooses to take them more lightly, according to HR, the mind quiets down and positive feelings emerge spontaneously.〔Mills, R. and Spittle, E.: ''The Health Realization Primer'', p. 27. Lone Pine Publishing. 2003〕 Thus, HR also teaches that people have health and well-being already within them (in HR this is known as "innate health"), ready to emerge as soon as their troubled thinking calms down.〔Mills, R. (The What is" and "Why" of Self Esteem: Discoveries About the Source and Role of Self Esteem in Everyday Life. ) Retrieved Oct. 18. 2007.〕 When this happens, according to HR, people also gain access to common sense, and they can tap into the universal capacity for creative problem solving or "inner wisdom."〔Mills, R. and Spittle, E.: ''The Health Realization Primer'', p. 19-20. Lone Pine Publishing. 2003〕 Anecdotal reports suggest that, when a person grasps the understanding behind HR in an experiential way, an expansive sense of emotional freedom and well-being can result.〔For example, see the interviews in Pransky, J: ''Prevention from the Inside-Out'', Authorhouse, 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Health realization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
