Anyhow, as to the article, I like the idea of the 4 bodies and of this balance to be strived for. It reminded me quite a bit of what the Buddhists talk about, everything in balance. Never too much of any one thing. A good goal for me.

Yes, it is a theme within Bhuddist teachings. It is a Christian theme as well although the metaphors are perhaps a bit more obscure. Judaism covers it. Several other religious schools use these concepts.
Jung touches upon it. Other psychologists have as well.
It is also a theme within the metaphysical and esoteric teachings. Alchemy honors these teachings. They also apply these save divisions and wholeness on a macro scale to the universe and other systems.
Additionally, many common metaphors and turns of phrase speak to this sort of integrated multi aspect whole 'body' we live within.
Things that ring true for me usually need to pass that sort of a test. If wildly opposed domains leverage the information within their structure similarly it usually catches my eye.
ETA: Agreed. Abuse is sad and I dislike knowing anyone suffers in that way as I have experienced it myself.
