Sept. 2006 Issue 45 ~ Moving Towards Healing & Wholeness

When my daughter was a toddler and I was struggling as a single mother, I developed severe pain along my sciatic nerve. I was referred to Dr. Lauren Nappen, a wonderful chiropractor who has since become a dear friend. She straightened me out in more ways than one. As I lamented my troubles to her, I remember her emphatically saying, "I can promise you this, things will change! These circumstances are not permanent!" I held on to that promise as I left her office and in the coming weeks and months. And miraculously energies shifted. Little by little, my lower back - and my life, got better... much better. If you are struggling this month, remember, life is fluid and constantly changing. Things will change.

We hope you enjoy this issue and consider one of our healing courses to help shift your energy and perceptions toward healing and wholeness.

Blessings for happiness, June Cook Self-Healing Expressions (S-HE)

Mobility: Gain and Sustain It By Julianne Koritz, registered, licensed dietitian The ability to get up and move is usually taken for granted by most people. As we age, even in our 30's and 40's some people feel the effects of getting older. We may find it more difficult to get out of a chair or to walk a long distance. We can lose our breath quicker and we tend to slow down much sooner. Overall, we don't push ourselves because, well, it hurts… One of the most important, yet unpublicized rewards of physical activity is the activation of beneficial hormones. Increased movement causes the release of hormones that can... Read on. Julianne Koritz is the creator of The Healing Power of Food: Conscious Eating.

A Coping Blurb from Art By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist and brain tumor survivor

Coping with dis-ease is a spiritual encounter with oneself. Whatever the dis-ease, coping is more effective when we believe in our abilities and discourage our limitations. Doctors do not create disability; they merely diagnose a condition. However, we create the disability when we allow our limitations to control our ability to experience joy. Arthur Soissons-Segal is the instructor of the course The Joy Of Coping: Overcoming The Stress of Dis-ease. by Arthur Soissons-Segal.

This Month's Holistic Prayer

Holy Spirit, help me to see the beauty
that I am, without and within.

Help me to love myself, unconditionally, without judgment.
Your radiance manifests through me and is
present within me at all times.
My body is Your Temple and a vehicle for Your Work.
It is therefore deserving of love, respect and honor.

This day and always, help me to honor my body,
to love it unconditionally, and to be grateful for its service.
Amen.
