Continuing our Wellness Journey - Sensing
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.

Simply Well - "Breathe for Life" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
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.

Peak Vitality - "Personal Mythology"
The term "mythology" mythology is not only intellectual, it is attitudinal and emotional. Mythology combines the unconscious as well as one's conscious inclinations, and it involves symbols (such as mandalas and crucifixes) and metaphors (such as "running with the wind") in addition to straightforward language. Beliefs are very intellectual. We can ask if a myth is "functional" or "dysfunctional." Does the myth support our life and well-being or does it lead to fanaticism, depression, or constant anxiety? A basic guideline could be that functional myths are those that enhance our vitality, while dysfunctional myths are those that hamper our vitality.
Join Dr. Stanley Krippner and learn about what may be stopping you from reaching the peak of any area of your life: physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Buy a copy NOW of Peak Vitality in our bookstore and get a myriad authors like Dr. Krippner, that will coach you on your overall well being.

Understanding Homeopathy - "Homeopathy and Sinusitis: Safer Remedies" - Dan Ullman, MPH
The fact that about one in seven Americans suffer from chronic sinusitis suggests that conventional treatments are not very effective. Homeopathic medicines are often effective in treating the acute symptoms of sinusitis, although professional "constitutional care" is usually necessary to cure chronic sinusitis, according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "Homeopathy and Sinusitis: Safer Remedies." This professional homeopathic treatment can lead to a significant reduction in the frequency and intensity of acute sinusitis attacks and can often even lead to a total elimination of their occurrence.

Why is it that kindness seems so hard to give precisely when it's needed most? With The Kindness Handbook, bestselling author and renowned meditation instructor Sharon Salzberg answers this question and more in her practical companion to inspire generosity of the spirit in any life situation.

The Kindness Handbook is an important resource for anyone wondering how to cultivate an open heart, empathy, and inner peace—every day.

Chef Teton's Essential Cuisine: Making Every Bite Count - "Let's Get Tropical with Coconut Oil!"
Not only are we surrounded by a global economy, but now, most of us have global taste buds. Americans demand international cuisine foods and flavors, and for good reason. Every geographical area of the world has within its flora and fauna, a compendium of foods and culinary treasures that are not only nourishing, but also medicinal. One of the areas where we can shift our tastes slightly and make a significant impact on our health is by steering away from the traditional ground crops providing us with corn, soy, safflower and vegetable oils. We can include different oils, ones that have been proven over the years to be associated with wonderful health benefits. Here, you’ll learn about another "Golden Elixir" from tropical parts of the world that bursts with flavor and simultaneously, make us healthy—coconut oil.

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.

Spiritual Wellness - "Taking the High Road" - Philip Goldberg, PhD
Every wisdom teaching calls upon us to behave toward others with love, compassion, generosity, kindness and other familiar virtues. The standards held up to us are pretty high. In "Taking the High Road" Philip Goldberg raises the questions: How good do we have to be? How good can we be? How tough should we be on ourselves? And why bother in the first place? He acknowledges that there are times when it's hard to know the difference between doing good and being a sucker or a codependent. But when we look into our hearts, we usually know the right thing to do. View more
