MOVIES THAT INSPIRE, HEAL AND TRANSFORM

The SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE offers a service that's unique and deeply needed. The CIRCLE gives you a way to bring hours of inspiring entertainment into your life each month, while making an important contribution to the world. In addition, it's an incredible bargain. If, like me, you love movies, but you find it harder and harder to go to theaters because of the violence, emptiness and overall lack of quality and imagination that most of the current crop represents, The CIRCLE is a wonderful opportunity.

Being Overweight as a Teen Associated with Premature Death in Adulthood
Children and adolescents in the U.S. and around the world are becoming more overweight. Researchers found that being overweight at age 18 is associated with an increased risk of premature death in younger and middle-aged women.

Researchers Gain Insight Into Why Brain Areas Fail To Work Together In Autism
Autism may involve a lack of connections and coordination in separate areas of the brain. In people with autism, the brain areas that perform complex analysis appear less likely to work together during problem solving tasks than in people who do not have the disorder. Other research showed that brain areas normally associated with visual tasks appear to be active during language-related tasks, providing evidence to explain a bias towards visual thinking common in autism.

Americans Know What They're Missing In Their Diets
Nearly six Americans in ten acknowledge that they do not eat a balanced diet on a regular basis. Although 81 percent of those asked said that eating a balanced diet was important, only 20 percent say they eat a balanced diet every day. The survey results also showed that nearly half of U.S. adults take a multivitamin regularly, and 41 percent take a multivitamin every day. The survey clearly made the point that most people recognize they do not obtain the recommended amount of essential nutrients from their diet alone.

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on SENSING, the third of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.

Healthy Computing
Sitting at a computer during the day without much movement can be stifling for the whole body, especially for the feet. In "Foot Ball Massage" Erik Peper, Ph.D. describes a gentle exercise with tennis balls to get your lymph fluid and blood moving again.

Tips for a Healthy Summer
"First Aid for Poison Ivy" reminds you not to touch the plant, touch clothing or pets that have sap on them, or come in contact with the smoke of the burning plant. The tips instruct you what to do if you are unlucky enough to avoid these, and do get the skin rash.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S MIND-BODY TOOL KIT

The evidence is overwhelming: you can tap the power of your mind to directly influence your health, using clinically proven tools that anyone can master. With Dr. Andrew Weil's Mind-Body Tool Kit, listeners join Dr. Weil along with three renowned colleagues and friends - all leading specialists in alternative medicine - to experience a potent prescription of self-healing practices. This information-packed "integrative medicine chest" includes an in-depth 52-page interactive workbook and 25 Mind-Training Cards designed to support a daily practice.

* Breathing * Meditation * Guided Imagery * Sound Therapy

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
Until recently Boron was just a powdery cleaner, something to get out the dirt. In "Boron: An Ortho-Mineral" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. reports how boron has yet to be recognized as an essential mineral; however it does have measurable effects on human biochemistry, physiology and performance. He believes that boron is a versatile candidate to lead a revolution in nutraceutical medicine.

Healthy Alternatives
Kids are often extremely active and energetic. They have abundant energy, and to the adult eye, it is often undirected and scattered, making it seem more out of control than it actually is. Many parents have discovered that when they are really with their kids and offer them the close and frequent contact they need, both physically and mentally, hyperactivity is less of a problem. In "Calming Hyper Kids With Herbs" Christopher Hobbs, L.Ac., A.H.G. offers parents some new perspectives and natural options for treatment.

Women's Health Detective
The healing therapy guided imagery became more widely used after hundreds of sound scientific studies found it works to improve our health. This technique is the art of mentally concentrating on positive images to accelerate healing. In "Powerful, Yet Simple Technique Increases Your Healing Ability" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. states her case that if you're not using this as part of your own health program, perhaps you should. It costs almost nothing and it works.

Holistic Healthcare For Children
A sharp division has occurred and, in some cases, battle lines have been drawn over the issue of vaccination. Many pediatricians report that they would dismiss a family for refusing vaccinations. In "Another Vaccine Controversy: Pediatricians Who Refuse Care to Children" Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D. discusses this difficult situation.

Healthy Woman Update
Are you finding that despite proper eating and exercise you simply cannot lose the extra weight? In "What To Do When You Can't Lose The Weight" Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. reports on a number of things contributing to this and that when you treat them the weight will often begin to disappear.

Looking for a healthcare professional specializing in colonics? The Colon Hydrotherapy section includes the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy member database.

Healthy Bookstore - Parenting From the Inside Out

How many parents have found themselves thinking: I can't believe I just said to my child the very thing my parents used to say to me! Am I just destined to repeat the mistakes of my parents? In "Parenting From the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help Your Raise Children Who Thrive," child psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell, M.Ed., explore the extent to which our childhood experiences actually do shape the way we parent. Drawing upon stunning new findings in neurobiology and attachment research, they explain how interpersonal relationships directly impact the development of the brain, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories, which will help them raise compassionate and resilient children.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Kiwifruits are a member of the Kiwi Family, and were developed from a smaller, less flavorful Chinese gooseberry. Kiwis improve blood circulation, and are used to remove excess sodium from the body. They are also used therapeutically to treat high blood pressure, heartburn, and indigestion. In oriental medicine, they are recommended to treat breast and stomach cancer, as well as a tonic for developing children and postpartum women.

Fabulous Functional Foods
Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan offers us a "Sesame-Flaxseed Shake with Banana" that beats a regular milkshake, both in terms of taste and nutritive value. The sesame seeds contain lots of calcium and other minerals and the flaxseed is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, which is anti-inflammatory.

OLA LOA - NEW CRAN-RASPBERRY FLAVOR

OLA LOA Energy is an effervescent, great tasting multi-vitamin vitamin powder that provides quick recovery from stress, sports and the rigors of daily life, with all the natural energy boosters and a doctor's selection of strategic nutrients providing greater absorption.

No shipping charge on orders of 3 or more boxes a potent prescription of self-healing practices.

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. Don't keep holding the key to your own freedom. Put it in the door and unlock the subtle forces within your own Self.

Mind-Body-Spirit
Awareness transforms life's lessons into wisdom; it can translate confusing circumstances and events into useful knowledge. In "The Power of Awareness" Dan Millman asserts that awareness is the beginning of all learning.
