Continuing our Wellness Journey - Finding Meaning
This week our journey focuses on the power of Finding Meaning, the 11th of
12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person
assessment program. Finding meaning appears to be a unique human need. It is one of the most complex uses of energy in that it involves almost all of the previous energy forms. Since the beginning of time philosophers have asked these basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What do I want? What is real? What is true? This section encourages you to find a deeper meaning in your life that can provide a powerful focus for directing your life-energy.

"The Health Reform Moment: Peril and Possibility in the Obama Era - Daniel Redwood, DC
For the first time in 15 years, a major national health reform initiative is moving forward in the United States. Those of us who recall the events of 1993-1994, when the Clinton Administration failed to pass its version of coverage for all, know that numerous pitfalls lie ahead with the potential to undermine the best-laid plans. But for those who have seen the widespread and needless suffering caused by the dominant role of money in American health care, President Obama’s clear commitment to change gives much cause for optimism View more

Seven Minutes to Natural Pain Release: WHEE for Tapping Your Pain Away
Though pain affects millions of people daily, it is one of the most mysterious and hard-to-treat conditions. Pain can have many causes, is experienced subjectively in varieties of different ways, and often defies the most advanced treatments available to modern medicine. Yet physicians such as Daniel J. Benor, as well as hundreds of other doctors and complementary therapists worldwide, are developing simple and safe ways to treat pain naturally. They have discovered that addressing underlying emotional traumas often leads to the rapid and permanent alleviation of pain. When emotional pain is cleared, physical pain often dissipates too.
Dr. Benor, one of the pioneers in Wholistic Healing and the emerging field of Energy Psychology, has developed an effective new self-treatment method called WHEE. WHEE changes people's consciousness and their relationships with their body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit and facilitates the healing of many of their physical problems. Users report the changes produced by WHEE often result in rapid and painless healing on all levels of their being.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing - Daniel Benoir, MD
It is estimated that only 5% of our brain capacity is within conscious awareness. This means that we have another 95% of brain/consciousness capacity we can tap. In "The Body (Part 6): Physical, bodymind, energetic, and potential doorway to spiritual awareness" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. explains how Applied Kinesiology (AK) provides methods for using the body to facilitate access to the unconscious mind. When you are emotionally upset, as in depression, anxiety or anger, your body becomes weaker. If you
think about something that is distressing, your muscles will reflect this.

Echoes of Silence - "Silent Knowledge" - Robert Rabbin
There is a lot of talk about importing spirituality into business as an antidote to various forms of malaise. In "Silent Knowledge" Robert Rabbin asks "Will it fit?" and answers "No. Self knowledge pays dividends, but not the kind stockholders hope for." To know the subtle essence of being is the
very opening to life. When life opens before us, the tension and anxiety of holding it dissolves away and there is a clarity that cannot be measured.
