CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on BREATHING & RELAXING, the second of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We can survive for many weeks without food, several days without water, but without air, life ceases in a matter of minutes. When the air is clear, your lungs strong, your body relaxed, and your mind at peace, you experience total wellbeing. Unfortunately, this ideal is seldom realized.

Simply Well
If you have resisted exercise in the past, it is especially important that you design a program you can live with and stay with — a gentle, step-by-step program that will appeal to your fun-loving inner child or provide companionship or quiet time alone. In "Move for the Health of It—Do Something Aerobic" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., provides you practical tips for creating just such a program.

Healthy Computing
A good chair at the appropriate height provides a solid foundation from which to work. In "Too High or Too Low" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney guides you as you explore various options until you determine the most comfortable height.

CHILDLIFE MONTHYLY NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM

ChildLife's Essential's "Daily Maintenance Kit" provides your child with basic nutritional supplementation for health of the body, brain, immune system and digestion. The Daily Maintenance Group includes:

• A Liquid Multi-Vitamin & Mineral supplement (8 fl oz)
• Liquid Vitamin C (4 fl oz) for immune health
• Essential fatty acids (8 fl oz) for a healthy brain
• Colostrum Plus w/ Probiotics (90 capsules) for healthy digestion.

From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q and A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #1" Dr. Teitelbaum defines a syndrome as a group of symptoms that commonly occur together and characterize a specific disease process. He then explains how multiple different triggers can cause the same syndrome.

Healthy Alternatives
Over the past twenty years, yoga and music – two powerful approaches to optimal health – have garnered enormous credibility in the western world. In "Derive the Most From Life" Russill Paul discusses the yoga of sound, a highly specialized yogic system and methodology that brings together universal healing principles found in yoga and music into a single, unified approach. It requirs neither the extreme flexibility of yoga postures, nor the complexities of music.

Healthy Child
Sometimes a child won't have a bowel movement for many days, and parents aren't sure whether or not to be concerned. In "Childhood Constipation" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine has compiled guidelines so that parents can recognize when to be seek medical attention for their child and when to use self-care tips to remedy the situation.

Echoes of Silence
The greatest event we can ever experience is that sudden stroke of grace which shows us who and what we are. In "On the Nature of Great Events" Robert Rabbin talks about this most wonderful event, this avalanche of joy.

Spiritual Wellness
In "That Old-Time Religion" Philip Goldberg reflects on a recent historical trend: the separation of religion and spirituality. He encourages investigating the mystical corners of your own faith and/or outside of it. By integrating those elements into your spiritual path you are essentially restoring religion to its original meaning: to reconnect with the sacred Source of all that is. That, after all, is the ultimate purpose of religion and spirituality, the place where both come together.
