not so sure about the "temporary" element in this case ...
Parrot (asker) Jun 26, 2010:
Sure? I'd rather thought it had something to do with a temporary well-being becoming timeless. How do natives understand this?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Wish I could reward everyone who helped but in the end I used Antonio's reference with the client's consent to graft "well-being, conceived of as having, becomes authentic well-being". The debate on ethics is part of the programme."

where well-being meets being-well

This literally just sprang to mind, and could work...?

That's, literally, my understanding, having gone from living in London for 10 years and constantly being ill, to living in Granada and haven't had a cold/flu or any other sort of illness since I've lived here...

(a state of) inner well-being

where a physical well-being coincides (exists side by side) with an inner well-being / a state of inner-well being. Yes, it is the difference between having the good things in life and and an inner state of being: feeling good about/with one's self expressed through the play of estar and ser.

I think this term is quite close.

Psychology of religion's updated role here would be to take responsibility for identifying and assessing the categories of function and dysfunction for an existential public health system. This role would also include the planning of policy for societal existential wellbeing, as well as planning prevention and intervention efforts for avoiding existential epidemiology. This new role fits well with public health's third revolution agenda focusing on health, wellbeing and quality of life.

Loneliness is the emotional response to the discrepancy between desired and available relationships. As people grow old, the likelihood of experiencing age-related losses increases. Such losses may impede the maintenance or acquisition of desired relationships, resulting in a higher incidence of loneliness. This pilot study examines how loneliness relates to age-related losses, hopelessness, self-transcendence, and spiritual well-being in a convenience sample of 107 adults aged 65 years or older. The collective utility of the independent variables in predicting loneliness was investigated by means of a regression decision tree with an automatic random subset crossvalidation procedure. This procedure explained 46% of the variance. Higher scores for age-related losses and hopelessness were associated with higher loneliness scores. Higher scores for self-transcendence and existential spiritual well-being were associated with lower loneliness scores.
