Abstract

This chapter identifies fundamental Hopi beliefs about unwellness and disabilities. Living in harmony with all creation and having goodness in your heart is the aim of existence for the Hopi. If one achieves this, she will be walking the Hopi Way that brings freedom from want and suffering. The Kachinas, beneficent beings who guide the Hopi, teach the tenets of the Hopi Way. They explain the spiritual laws of harmony and warn of the suffering brought about by failing to follow the Hopi Way. Hopis believe that human beings are made up of three components, body, mind and spirit, and that health is achieved when there is harmony between the three. Unwellness comes when there is disharmony in one or all of the components, when one is not walking the Hopi Way.
