• A unitary human being
is a open systems
which continuously
interact with
environment . A person
cannot be viewed as a
parts, and it should be
considered as a whole.
ENVIRONMENT
• It include the entire
energy field other than
a person these energy
field are irreducible ,
not limited by space
and time, identified by
its pattern and
organizationChinna Chadayan & Melba Sahaya Sweety

4. MAJOR CONCEPTS AND DEFINITION
• Rogers uses the term passive health to
symbolize wellness and the absence of
disease and major illness. Here ,

9. ENERGY FIELD
• The energy field constitutes the
fundamental unit of both the living and
non-living. They are human and
environmental field both have energy field
they are open , Energy can freely flow
between human and environment and it
continuously varies in intensity, density and
extend.
Chinna Chadayan & Melba Sahaya Sweety

10. OPENNESS
• There is no boundaries
or barrier that can
inhibit the flow of
energy between
human and
environment. Which
leads to continuous
movement or matter
of energy.
PATTERN
• Pattern identified
energy field. It is
distinguishing
characteristics of a
field and is perceived
as a single wave. The
nature of the pattern
changes continuously
and may manifest
disease, illness or
pain.Chinna Chadayan & Melba Sahaya Sweety

11. PANDIMENSIONALITY
• It is defined as a non-linear domain
without spatial or temporal
attributes. The pandimensionality
provides for an indefinite domain
without limit. It expresses the idea
of a unitary whole.
