JOIN US ON A 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of PLAYING & WORKING, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

Healthy Computing
When working in an office, we accept the ergonomic situation as it is. Often, the set-up is not optimum and may increase the risk of discomfort. To explore strategies to reduce the risk of injury Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney explain how to decrease your risk and enhance your health in "Workstation Condition."

Kunin, M.D. presents vital information about numerous conditions related to folic acid deficiency and how this undervalued nutrient supports healing.

Healthy Alternatives
Fasting is nature's ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems. In "Nutritional Program for Fasting" Elson M. Haas, M.D. shows how fasting can be both a useful personal tool and an important therapy. Most of the problems for which he recommends fasting as treatment are ones that result from overnutrition rather than malnutrition.

Healthy Man Update
Athlete's foot is a fungus infection of the toes and foot, characterized by an itchy, scaly, odorous rash between the toes. Hot weather and wearing shoes which do not allow the feet to breathe are two predisposing factors. Most susceptible are people who have previously had the infection, adult men, those whose feet perspire and persons with a weakened immune response. Internal treatments do little. In "Athlete's Foot" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. outlines fungicide essential oils that offer the most effective topical treatment.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!

Echoes of Silence
There is a lot of talk about importing spirituality into business as an antidote to various forms of malaise. In "Silent Knowledge" Robert Rabbin asks "Will it fit?" and answers "No. Self knowledge pays dividends, but not the kind stockholders hope for." To know the subtle essence of being is the very opening to life. When life opens before us, the tension and anxiety of holding it dissolves away and there is a clarity that cannot be measured.

Mind-Body-Spirit
In order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. In "Detachment" Deepak Chopra, M.D. states that this doesn't mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You give up your attachment to the result. The moment you relinquish your attachment to the result, combining intention with detachment at the same time, you will have that which you desire.
