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.

Doing LESS Creates More: Meaning, Satisfaction, and Results - Marc Lesser
It is easy to fall into the trap of busyness – constantly going from one thing to another – from demands at home to demands at work to emails to exercise to relationships-- with no time for stopping, reflecting, or recharging. We can become like a carpenter who doesn’t have the time to stop and sharpen his or her tools. As a result, the tools become dull; more and more effort is required; less and less is accomplished. We think we must move faster, work harder. It’s a vicious circle.

Women's Health - "Eating Disorders: Starved of the Right Foods" - What Doctors Don't Tell You
Eating disorders, whether they be the starvation regimes of anorexia and bulimia or the compulsive eating which leads to overweight and in some cases morbid obesity, are on the rise. Doctors consider anorexia, bulimia and obesity as a mainly psychological problem, but in "Eating Disorders: Starved of the Right Foods" the staff of What Doctors Don't Tell You reports on new research which shows that vitamin deficiencies and even allergies are often the hidden causes of eating disorders.

Integrator Blog - David Cundiff, MD: Bias Issues Inherent in Bravewell's Focus on Evidence-Based Medicine in Reform
In this response to the Bravewell Collaboration's listing of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and reimbursement reform as key factors in any healthcare transformation, David Cundiff, MD points out that "randomized controlled clinical trials and other tools of EBM are mostly funded by special interests and interpreted by researchers paid by those special interests." Thus "the evaluation of EBM trials is and will remain controversial." Cundiff, author Money Driven Medicine, argues that one-third of the HEDIS measures which shape insurer decisions on what get covered, are "highly questionable." Sponsors of these measures, Cundiff notes, include a who's who of major pharmaceutical firms. Can one even imagine a level playing field for an evidence-based inclusion of integrative, natural therapeutic approaches?

Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered email, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust — all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In this insightful book, Palmer shows how to get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us.
