Incorporate a Wellness Dimension into Your Healthcare Practice
With the discussion around health care reform highlighting the need for wellness and prevention, the focus of many healthcare practices in the future will shift from treating disease to creating wellness. For many professionals this new focus on "wellness medicine" will be a clear departure from current disease-focused practices.
The Wellness Inventory, a pioneering assessment and life-balance program, may be licensed by health and wellness professionals, therapists, social workers, and coaches. Our Certification Training certifies professionals as Wellness Inventory Facilitators or Coaches.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Transcending
This week our journey focuses on the power of Transcending, the 12th of 12
keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Soul Currency: Invest Your Inner Wealth" - Ernest D. Chu
As a Wall Street investment banking executive for many years, I discovered the power of invested capital to create companies, build new industries like biotechnology and the Internet, and create billions in stock market value. But as a business and life coach and spiritual teacher, I realized that our greatest resource is the inner wealth that lies within us — our spiritual or inner qualities such as insight, intuition, vision, and so on. Learning how to awaken and invest this tremendous inner wealth will enable you to reach your goals, increase your income, and find deep personal fulfillment.

Understanding Reiki - "Reiki Training" - Pamela Miles
Reiki training teaches us how to learn Reiki. The Reiki master teaches us how to practice, and our practice teaches us Reiki. The more we practice, the deeper our understanding, respect, and love for this gentle, powerful healing practice. It is almost a technique-less technique, yet there is a subtle art to it, and significant discipline required to do less. View more

Soul Currency: Investing Your Inner Wealth for Fulfillment and Abundance - Ernest D. Chu
In tough times, we look outside ourselves for things to change instead of looking inward, where true abundance resides. It’s tempting to downplay important values like generosity, integrity, and intuition. These niceties can take a backseat because we think the world needs to change before we can find wealth. But they are what make it possible to find prosperity, no matter what happens in the world around us. These inner traits help us reach our outer goals.

| ADVERTISEMENT - AMERICA'S FAVORITE COFFEE ALTERNATIVE |
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.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing - "The Body (Part 6): Physical, bodymind, energetic, and potential doorway to spiritual awareness" - 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.

Spiritual Wellness - "Dealing With Impermanence" - Philip Goldberg, PhD
There is a fundamental truth about life on earth: Everything changes, everything withers, everything eventually disappears. In "Dealing With Impermanence" Philip Goldberg discusses various positive viewpoints. First accept the reality of impermanence as a precondition for liberation. Next realize that non-attachment is about loving, cherishing and caring about the people and things that matter to us—but without excessive clinging or grasping, and without fear of loss or change. Finally, inner peace is easier to locate, more enduring and far more satisfying than any of the brass rings we manage to grab on the frenzied carousel of life. View more
