Continuing our Wellness Journey -"Playing and Working"
This week our journey focuses on the power of Playing and Working, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

Virtual Medicine (2nd Edition) - Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby, MB Chb, MD, PhD
Medicine is about to undergo its most startling transformation. Life extends beyond the boundaries of our skin, as Professor Keith Scott-Mumby so eloquently shows. We are a whirling field of energies, which modern instruments can easily detect and measure. Once this is recognized, it opens the door to many exciting and revolutionary ways to diagnose and treat illness, including the use of interactive electronics. This is no longer the New Age, this is now advanced physics! It's a whole new dimension of health he is calling "virtual medicine." Highly recommended!

Mind-Body Health: "Rx: Halting Time Pressure" - David Sobel, MD
For most of us, the modern-day world seems to be spinning faster and faster. Computers, faxes, pagers, car phones and automated tellers, far from saving time, seem to add pressure. According to a Harris survey, in 1990, the average American had 37% less leisure time than in 1973.
"Leisure" time is crammed full of activities, commitments, and responsibilities. Even our children feel the pressure of a chock-full day: school, music lessons, soccer practice, and homework, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Rx: Halting Time Pressure." View more
