Continuing our Wellness Journey - Transending
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING, the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Simply Well - "Learn Ten Basics about Food" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
Although there is a mass of conflicting data surrounding the components of sound nutrition practices, in "Learn Ten Basics about Food" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., provides you with certain recommendations that are almost universally accepted. He challenges you to pick one to implement into your daily diet over the next few weeks.

Healthy Computing: "Expand Your Waist" - Erik Peper, Ph.D.
Our stomach expands when we sit down, however, we do not loosen our belt or
waistband to allow for expansion. This constricts our abdomen and forces us to breathe slightly higher and more rapidly in our chest. This breathing pattern, punctuated with sighs, increases neck and shoulder
tension and may contribute to cooler hands (poor circulation). Reduce neck and shoulder tension and induce slower and lower breathing when you "Expand Your Waist." View more
Peak Vitality - "The Self-Care Paradox"
According to David Gruder, Ph.D., self-care is far different from self-centeredness. It is also far more than merely good sleep, nutrition and exercise habits. Our bodies are complex machines. We cannot sustain our energy unless we are supporting our spiritual, our psychological, our physical, and our energetic aspects of our whole being. Healthy self-care is a key foundational element in all forms of integrity: self-integrity, relationship integrity, societal integrity and leadership integrity.
Self-Integrity Is About Keeping our:
Energy strong and balanced
Mind calm yet alert
Body capable of supporting us in all areas of our life
Environment nourishing
Life logistics under control
Self-Integrity is unavoidably a daily practice. No amount of rest, passion or acts of service can substitute for it. True Self-Care is simply "enlightened self-interest and service for the higher good."
Learn more wellness techniques like these by purchasing a copy of "Peak Vitality: Raising the Threshold of Abundance in Our Material, Spiritual and Emotional Lives," available now in our online store. And take a FREE INTEGRITY CHECKUP QUIZ and see if negligent self-care robs you of the vital energy you need to accomplish your goals. Psychologist and integrity expert, Dr. David Gruder, PhD., has provided self-integrity education keynotes, training, and consulting for the past 30 years.

Life Visioning: A Four-Stage Evolutionary Journey to Live as Divine Love - Michael Bernard Beckwith
You were never born. You will never die. And the reason you’ve incarnated is to reveal the glory of the Divine as you and you alone can. This is the essence of the Life Visioning Process, Michael Bernard Beckwith's transformational inner technology for uniquely expressing the love, wisdom and beauty that you are. Life Visioning invites you to join the founder and director of the Agape International Spiritual Center for his first full length audio-learning course and begin the adventure of conscious participation in your soul’s evolution by activating your highest potential.
As we mature along the spiritual path, explains Michael Beckwith, we move through four stages of consciousness. Stage one, Victim Consciousness, finds one in constant reaction to things happening "to me" at the hands of a power outside of our control. In stage two, as the Manifester, you take responsibility for your life and put the laws of the universe to work for you. We become a third stage, Channel, when we surrender our will to a higher intelligence that functions "through us." Stage four - Being Consciousness - manifests as enlightened living.

Brain Balance a Natural Remedy for Depression
Brain Balance is a unique formula designed to ensure the proper levels and balance of the neurotransmitters in the brain - resulting in reduced anxiety, elevated mood, and improved focus and concentration.
Most antidepressant medications - and herbs like St. Johns Wort - move neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine out of the pre-synaptic neuron and into the synapse. It’s important to understand that they do not add any molecules of serotonin to the brain’s supply.
Brain Balance gives your brain the raw materials it needs to actually make more serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and GABA. View More

Nutritional Medicine & Longevity - "Homocysteine: The Key To Heart Attack, Stroke, & Cardiovascular Disease" - Richard A. Kunin, MD
In "Homocysteine: The Key To Heart Attack, Stroke, & Cardiovascular Disease" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. notes that homocysteine is a preventable and treatable factor in blood vessel disease. In fact over 200 research studies already provide a consensus that identifies this molecule as the most important strategic factor in heart attacks and strokes, far more powerful than cholesterol and fat. If the chemical pathways to its useful end-products are impaired, homocysteine build-up causes more mischief than any other physiologic "ortho"molecule. People with high homocysteine scores are at greater risk for heart attack.

Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven-Stage Journey Out of Depression - James S. Gordon, MD
Each year, as many as twenty million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression. Tens of millions more have low energy or feel unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives. And each year, American doctors write 189 million prescriptions for antidepressant drugs for these people. Dr. James Gordon, a Harvard Medical School-educated psychiatrist who founded and directs The Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., has been helping his patients find their way out of the darkness of depression for the past forty years. He has worked with everyone from high-powered Washington politicians to Hurricane Katrina victims, from overstressed doctors, lawyers, and stay-at-home moms to orphans from war-ravaged Kosovo and Gaza. Each one of Dr. Gordon’s patients is unique, but all suffer from some level of depression, and none are getting relief from the antidepressant drugs their doctors keep prescribing or the psychotherapy they’ve been receiving.
Dr. Gordon believes that depression is not an end point, a disease over which we have no control. It is a sign that our lives are out of balance, that we’re stuck. It’s a wake-up call and the start of a journey that can help us become whole and happy, one that can change and transform our lives. View more

Raw Food Materia Medica - "Bananas" - Brigitte Mars
Bananas are not from a tree, but from a large perennial herb. They are rich in carbohydrates, folic acid, B6, vitamin C, potassium and the fiber, pectin. Bananas also provide long-term energy and improve stamina. They stimulate the proliferation of cells that provide a protective coating between the stomach and harsh acids. Bananas have been used to treat alcoholism, arteriosclerosis, celiac disease, colitis, constipation, depression, diarrhea, dyspepsia, exhaustion, hemorrhoids, hypertension, weak muscles, and ulcers.
