Abstract [en]

This presentation is intended to bridge together two separate concepts – space and place – through the very concept of wholeness. Space is external to our body and mind, while place is how space is experienced in our heart and mind, so it is internal. Wholeness (or living structure) exists physically in our surrounding (just like air), can be defined mathematically, and well reflected in our heart and mind psychologically. The term "spatial healing" has two different meanings: the healing effect of good space on people on the one hand, and space to be healed to become living or more living on the other. A key message of this presentation is that there is a shared notion of the goodness of space or place among peoples regardless their cultures, faiths, and ethnicities. The goodness of space is largely determined by the underlying living structure that consists of numerous substructures. A general rule goes like this: the more substructures, the more beautiful; the higher hierarchy of the substructures, the more beautiful.
