Lately I’ve been noticing how serious the world has become, how serious I have become. There are serious issues to pay attention to. Aren’t there? There is famine, earthquakes, hurricanes, depletion of the environment – the world, not to mention what’s happening to my friends, my family, to me. So, I practice my Yoga. Yoga is serious business.

Acupressure is a form of touch therapy that has probably been around since the beginning of humanity. It is an ancient form of care that when practiced regularly can bring wonderful results. It is also a form of Energy Healing, as the same points that are addressed with Acupuncture are used with Acupressure. Instead of needles being used,…

Mayo Clinic Gives Green Light to Many Alternative Medicines
The Part I title of Mayo Clinic Guide to Alternative Medicine 2011 is “Today’s New Medicine: Making Wellness the Focus of Care.” In this introduction, it says: “As studies continue to reveal the important role the mind plays in healing and in fighting disease, a transformation is slowly taking place in hospitals and clinics across the country. Doctors, in partnership with their patients, are turning to practices once considered ‘alternative’ as they attempt to treat the whole person – mind and spirit, as well as body.” One of the approaches given the green light is Guided Imagery. Here is what they have to say about it: “Guided Imagery gets the…
