Simply Well
Many languages use the same word for both breath and spirit, or life force. In "Breathe for Life" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., encourages you to start paying attention to your breathing as a form of relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Breathing consciously not only will relieve tension and help quiet any fear, it can also relieve pain. So before you reach for the aspirins, the antacid tablets, or the telephone to call your doctor, do some breathing.


Healthy Stress
Who doesn't want to find ways to reduce stress? In "Siberian Ginseng: The Herb for Energy and Stress" Janet Zand L.Ac., O.M.D. presents a detailed herbal rotational program for individuals who want to enhance overall health, energy, and vitality by using this botanical remedy.


Staying Healthly Tips
Spring is the time for renewing your life - letting go of what you don't need. In "10 Tips for Spring Cleansing & Spiritual Renewal" Elson M. Haas, M.D. offers you a real body, mind, and spirit approach.


NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Understanding Homeopathy
In "First Aid with Homeopathic Medicines Dana Ullman, M.P.H. shows how homeopathic remedies for first aid and sports injuries are very easy to prescribe and are usually very effective in reducing pain of the injury and speeding the healing process. It is thus no wonder that many superstar athletes have heard about homeopathy and have begun to benefit from its use.


Healthy Alternatives
In the interview "Surgery and its Alternatives" Sandra McLanahan M.D. describes to Dr. Daniel Redwood how her father inspired her ethic of service, how the incompleteness of her medical education led her to search for deeper answers, her work with Dean Ornish and the late Swami Satchidananda, the value of yoga, the best ways to deal with heart disease, and her vision of a truly integrated approach to health and healing.


Healthy Woman Update
In "Nutritional Program for Fatigue" Michael Janson M.D. outlines the many causes of persistent fatigue, as opposed to simply being tired from exercise or a heavy work load. He outlines recovery options which include eating properly, exercising, reducing emotional stressors, and avoiding food allergens and environmental toxins, plus a dietary supplementation program to correct nutritional imbalances or borderline deficiencies.

FOOD AND MOOD
Food nourishes your mind as well as your body. When you ingest abundant amounts of the amino acid tryptophan along with complex carbohydrates, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6, you enhance the production of the brain chemical serotonin, essential for maintaining a positive outlook on life. "Food To Improve Your Mood" by Leeanne Backer, David Simon, MD, and Deepak Chopra, MD includes a recipe for Rainbow Risotto - rich in mood-enhancing nutrients - from the Chopra Center Cookbook.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

Echoes of Silence
When we are visited by an angelic presence, we become attentive for a long while after. In "Angelic Presences Abound" Robert Rabbin states that what we call the angelic presence is the subtlety of existence that we don't pay attention to. The subtle essence of being we attribute to angels, to spirit guides, to "higher" selves, is in fact our own Self. We can become the angel we are by allowing this subtlety into our life.


Mind/Body Health
Different from physical-vital energy, emotional energy creates the feeling impulse to move toward our goals; we call it motivation. In "Emotional Talent" Dan Millman explains that emotional talent is the capacity to stimulate and draw upon one's natural fountain of energy. Developing emotional talent is learning to blow into our own sails.

Through luminous stories from her own life and those of students and clients, we peer through the veils of our common human struggles to discover who we are at a soul level, healing the cracks and imperfections in our lives to release our deepest sorrows and recapture the dreams of our youth.
