CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of COMMUNICATING, the 9th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. This section focuses almost exclusively on verbal communication, exploring the dynamics of how people talk to themselves and one another. It also looks at the breakdowns in communication that can occur. As you come to understand and appreciate this process, you may simultaneously understand and appreciate yourself. The clearer the channel (you), the better the possibilities for a meaningful encounter--a dynamic energy exchange.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
In "Coenzyme Q10: A Miracle Vitamin" Richard Kunin, M.D. presents a nutrient that should be a household word. CoQ is required for cell energy and promotes faster healing of wounds, strengthens the immune system, and is an impressive treatment of heart conditions. Tissue levels of CoQ decline as much as 80% in old age and this single fact appears to explain some of the increased risk of heart failure, immune dysfunction, delayed healing and general weakening of energy and strength that are stereotypical of growing old. By simply taking supplements of CoQ, this age-related drop in vitality can be reversed to an amazing extent.

Healthy Alternatives
The Ayurvedic approach to health supports the prevention of disease by helping the body eliminate toxins. Panchakarma is one part of a group of therapies belonging to a class of cleansing procedures. In "An Introduction to Panchakarma" Dr. Vasant Lad details the various aspects of this therapy.

Nutrition Tips
Fresh vegetables have life force and are a major contributor to health and vitality. In "Vegetables" Elson M. Haas, M.D. reminds us that most vegetables are very high in water and necessary vitamins and minerals and are low in fat and protein. Thus, they are a perfect complement to animal protein meals to help supply the needed nutrients that aid the digestion and utilization of those concentrated foods.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
Regardless of what ingredients are used, if the cook's consciousness is not prayerful, loving, or joyful ... that food will not be a healing food. Period. It is important to have a state of mind that is free of anger when you are preparing any meal. Instead be filled with heartfelt love for those (including the self!) who will be eating the food, joy in its preparation, and, most importantly, a sense of the Divine coming into the food. In "The Yogi’s Secret Ingredient" Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa shows why restaurant food becomes so tiring. It only satisfies the belly; rarely does it elevate, nurture and heal.

Mind/Body Health
When was the last time you laughed really hard - a hearty, sidesplitting belly laugh that suddenly grabbed you and sent you reeling out of control? Modern science is beginning to confirm that this kind of laughter is not only enjoyable, it's also health-promoting, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Good Humor, Good Health." Laughter is an invigorating tonic that heightens and brightens mood, gently releasing us from tensions and social constraints.

Music and Wellness
In "Drum Circles: An Ancient Methodology for a Modern World" Remo Belli explains how the ancient practice of drum circles has become a modern group activity being used as a tool for wellness and community building. This form of musical expression is more than entertainment, it has health promoting value.
