Dear Holistic Health & Natural Healing ॐ♥☮ Friends,
After watching President Obama's speech on healthcare reform this evening, as well as listening to the comments of members of the U.S. Congress, friends, and acquaintances, I have many, ideas for topics regarding our personal and collective health & wellbeing that could be included in this newsletter.
However, I feel there are only a couple that are the most valuable nuggets for me to share with you.
First, good health is great wealth.
This is a truth in every culture.
Throughout every time period.
Including now.
Second, we all must work to be well.
Good health is a great privelege.
It is also, a great responsibility.
There is no 'magic bullet', elixir or panacea for wellness.
Third, wellness is a journey, a practice, a state of being that comes to us both through our own choices, as well as through the gift of fortune. Whether we believe in destiny, fate, nature, genes, collective immunity, a Divine source of life and prosperity or all of the above, what is certain is that which we are given in body, mind, spirit and soul--we must care for with the greatest amount of respect.
Regardless of the outcome of healthcare reform in the USA, the responsibility and therefore, the privelege, of good health falls on each of us individually, and as part of a greater community, to strive toward ever-greater commitments of personal health & wellness change.
In general:
Healthful eating
Better sleep habits
More exercise
Incorporating relaxation
Reducing stress
Spending more time in and reconnecting with nature
Processing emotions
Improving family relationships
Practicing compassion
Expanding access to health & wellness education
Greater focus on prevention of illness
Increasing life balance
...all serve to empower & strengthen us to be well.
Finally, here are some topics & links posted to our group that I feel you will enjoy perusing. As always, its not about how many topics you read up on--its about incorporating the information you receive into your life to feel well :*)
Top 10 Weird Uses For Vodka
Benefits of Olive Oil
Organic Wines
Eco-Friendly Furniture
Benefits of Aloe Vera Juice
Chinese Herbology
Natural Mosquito Repellants
Reiki Classes
The Appendix Has a Purpose After All (!)
Green/Environmental Cell Phone Apps

Peace, Love & Healing From The Big Easy,
