Continuing our Wellness Journey - Intimacy
This week our journey focuses on the power of Intimacy, the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. In our modern culture, the word "intimate" has informally become synonymous with sexual intercourse. What we mean here is more in line with the dictionary definition, relating to your deepest and private nature or a close, long-term association with another person. This can be a sexual, sensual, or platonic relationship. Learning to effectively deal with conflict, respect and assert boundaries, and to connect responsibly is essential to building the trust that is essential in intimacy. Studies have shown that intimacy is a major component in one's health and happiness.

Kick the Caffeine Habit This Year! - Destress with Teeccino Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino is the first herbal coffee on the market - a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.

Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing - "Positive Energy: The Fifth Prescription"
It's important to learn how to read sexual energy in the world. In our busy lives we get hit by so much, so fast.
