What is Te Whare Tapa Wha/Hauora?
Hauora is thinking about the 4 dimensions (parts) of Maori health. It is represented by a 4 sided house (called a Wharenui). The 4 sides are Taha Whanau (social), Taha Tinana (physical), Taha Wairua (spiritual) and Taha Hinengaro (emotional). All 4 parts are important and need to be equal - if one is not healthy, the others are affected.
Taha Tinana (physical health).
Taha Tinana is taking care of yourself. For example have a good high gene, taking a walk and having an 8 hour sleep. If you don’t do any of these you will be Lazy, unhealthy and eat a lot of junk food.
Taha Wairua (spiritual health).
Taha Wairua is what you believe in, such as church, ancestors and thing’s you believe in.
Taha Hinengaro (emotional health).
Taha Hinengaro is basically your feelings, like if you feel Happy, Excited and joyful or sometime’s you feel depressed or sad.
Taha Whanau (social health).
Taha Whanau is the people you talk to or the people you feel comfortable with.
Like friend’s or family.
