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.

A Master Course on the Science and Practice of Harnessing Intention
Is intention simply wishful thinking, or is it a force that can actually change the world around you? Nobody has made a more comprehensive investigation of the power of the mind to influence the universe than Lynne McTaggart. Her conclusion: thought does shape reality, but much depends on how skillfully the thinker can use his or her intention. With Living with Intention, this groundbreaking author builds upon her findings from The Field to explore what makes mind "over" matter work, what can interfere with its effectiveness, and how you can use focused thought to enhance your life, help those around you, and transform your world. 6 CDs

From Fatigued to Fantastic - "Lower Your Cholesterol - Naturally" - Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D.
It is important to recognize that even though cholesterol gets a lot of attention, it is not necessarily the most important (or even an especially significant) factor in preventing heart disease. Other factors, such as nutritional support and optimizing thyroid function (in women) and testosterone levels (in men) may also decrease the risk of heart attack, according to Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, in Lower Your Cholesterol - Naturally".

Creating a New Model of Wellness: Focusing on the Whole Person Versus Health Risks
Presenter: James Strohecker, CEO, HealthWorld Online - Publisher, Healthy Update
December 3, 2008
Orlando, FL USA
Pre-Conference Workshop at Diabetes Disease Management 2008 (details below)
Our healthcare system tends to define "health" as the absence of illness, and "wellness" as simply the reduction of health risks. This perspective is based on a disease model. Yet, for 60 years the World Health Organization has defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This workshop focuses on implementing a new wellness model into the healthcare system that includes employee and physician wellness, professional burnout, as well as clinical applications. This workshop also examines how to create a positive state of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
