emotional thinking practice
I do not claim to have attained optimum emotional well-being. Actually, I think that may be a lifetime goal. For me it’s an ongoing process that requires awareness, knowledge, and practice. I do know what good emotional health feels like, and that motivates me to keep at the practice.

Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist.
stress reality thinking
I tried to change the conventional paradigm, for example, by insisting on the reality of mind-body interaction, by stressing the importance of natural therapies, by focusing attention on lifestyle issues, by looking at worthwhile aspects of alternative medicine. Many people have been threatened by that.

At the very center of our being is rhythmic movement, a cyclic expansion and contraction that is both in our body and outside it, that is both in our mind and in our body, that is both in our consciousness and not in it.
feet earth connections
Our feet are our body's connection to the earth.
healing mind treatment
Please keep in mind the distinction between healing and treatment: treatment originates from outside, whereas healing comes from within.
common-sense body lines
The bottom line is that the human body is complex and subtle, and oversimplifying - as common sense sometimes impels us to do - can be hazardous to your health.
dog way mental-health
One of the most obvious ways dogs can improve our physical and mental health is via daily walks.
healing sick choices
You can't afford to get sick, and you can't depend on the present health care system to keep you well. It's up to you to protect and maintain your body's innate capacity for health and healing by making the right choices in how you live.
