CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of SEX the 10th of 12 keys to
wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program.
The sexual revolution of the 70s had many positive effects on the social
climate. It paved the way for more frank and open discussion of sex and
sexual problems, made getting needed information on sexual matters easier,
and has fostered a more tolerant attitude towards behaviors that once were
condemned as unhealthy, deviant, or criminal. However, this new openness
did not solve all our problems, and in fact, created new ones. This section
will explore the many dimensions of our sexuality and suggest ways to
expand our awareness of the precious aspect of life energy.
Simply Well
Wellness is an illusion if there is no commitment to the health of the
whole planet. We are all interdependent. In "Befriend the Earth" John W.
Travis, M.D., M.P.H., challenges you to contribute to a saner environment
by examining your own lifestyle for waste. He also offers other practical,
everyday choices you can make that will contribute to your own health and
support the earth at the same time.
Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
Intuition is something that can be taught. The magic of intuition is that
it insists you live in the moment with no expectations, a continuing
freshness. In "Five Steps to Intuitive Healing" Judith Orloff, M.D. brings
you five steps that can be applied to any issue you'll ever confront from
healing your body, to riding a roller-coaster of emotions to sexual
awakening. These five steps can bring you the joy and clarity you've been
searching for.

Integrative Dentistry
Statistics indicate many people are not making the routine six month visits
to their dentist. Whether it's due to lack of insurance, fear or other
reasons, many individuals wait until there is pain, before making a dental
appointment. Prevention is not a hard concept to understand and carry out.
In "Six Steps Towards Dental Health" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. presents the
steps that are the means of saving all of the teeth all your life.

the standard stimulant medications that may allow a child to be on the way
to achieving optimal well-being and performance.

significant deviations. In "Attention Problems in Children" Randall
Neustaedter, O.M.D. offers parents tips toward greater understanding of the
child's true nature, plus natural treatment options for when more is needed.

Healthy Bookstore - Pain Relief Without Drugs

chronic suffering, she began an investigation into the self-treatment of
her pain. In "Pain Relief Without Drugs: A Self-Help Guide for Chronic Pain
and Trauma" the author shares the pain management techniques she discovered
so she could help other sufferers learn how to cope with pain and find
truly effective relief from its debilitating effects.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing
The words we use shape our perceptions and our interactions with the world.
In "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 1)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. points
out how we take our perceptions of the world for granted because our
family, friends, and nation validate our perceptions by consensual
agreement. The words and labels we learn to use come to identify who we
are, what we do, how we do it, and how we relate to each other individually
and collectively, and how we interact with to the environment.
