Continuing our Wellness Journey - Moving
This week our journey focuses on Moving, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. View more

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. View more

Music and Wellness - "Recreational Music Making: Mind-Body-Spirit and Wellness" - Barry Bittman, M.D
It's hard to imagine living without music. Yet while listening to music is our nation's favorite pastime, active music-making isn't typically perceived to be within most people's grasp. In "Recreational Music Making: Mind-Body-Spirit and Wellness" Barry Bittman, M.D. introduces us to a new musical approach. Rather than focusing on performance, "Recreational Music-Making" is centered on wellness along with exercise, nutrition and stress reduction. Anyone can participate and share in the enjoyment regardless of experience or skill level. Participants are simply asked to bring their enthusiasm, love of music and a willingness to share the rhythms of their soul. They develop a renewed sense of balance, heightened self-esteem and an incredible sense of having contributed to the symphony of life.
