Continuing our Wellness Journey - Sensing
This week our journey focuses on Sensing, the third of 12 keys to wellness
in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world.

What Doctor's Don't Tell You: "Healing with Intention" - Lynn McTaggart
The latest evidence shows that the strongest medicine is not a conventional pill, a surgical technique or even an alternative treatment, but the power of the mind-and the 'contract' of belief between healer and patient. In Healing with Intention Lynn McTaggart provides strong scientific evidence of the power of the mind as the central mechanism in healing. Medical doctors already acknowledge the centrality of belief in healing through the widespread use of the placebo. Studies also show that the effect of a treatment is enhanced when the practitioner, as well as the patient, believes that the the treatment will work. View more Subscribe to WDDTY

The Healer Within - Roger Jahnke, OMD
The self-applied health enhancement methods movements are meant to be the seeds of your own inventiveness. In "Gentle Movements and Postures, Part II" Dr. Roger Jahnke reminds you not to sabotage your mastery by thinking they must be done a certain way. Make it up, make it fun, spread the word.
Learn from others, add favorites, steal from the masters; they are always willing to share. Bring the breath and relaxation practices together with the effort of the movements, that is the balance. When you have made
contact with the extent to which gentle movement has a profound health effect, you have become a part of the solution to the medical crisis.

Mind Over Matter
"Healing" means "to make sound or whole, or to restore to health." It also
refers to causing an undesirable condition to be overcome. In the context of mind-body medicine, what affects the mind clearly and indistinguishably affects the body and visa versa. In "Healing: An Individual Perspective" Barry Bittman, M.D. points out our tendency to ignore what is really bothering us. He urges us to better deal with the issues that stress us. Take time to stop and contemplate the way we really feel. Get in touch with our feelings. Ask ourselves whether it's the issue or our perspective that's causing us pain.
