"Bringing Wellness to the Forefront of Integrative Medicine: Does Wellness Coaching Hold the Key?" (Integrative Healthcare Symposium)
Have we been looking in the wrong direction in trying to create a sustainable health care system? Looking through the lens of the disease management model, in our attempt to control health care costs and the continuing decline of the health status of our population, has only exacerbated the problem. As Einstein commented, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Join HealthWorld CEO and co-founder James Strohecker and Pamela Burris, RN, MSN for a PractiCAM workshop at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium in New York City February 21, 2009. This workshop explores the integration of two models that can provide a new direction for healthcare practice - the wellness paradigm and the coaching paradigm. Following the introduction of core concepts, real-life examples that clarify the implementation of this wellness coaching model will be presented. Participants will experience wellness coaching in action through a live demonstration and will then have the opportunity to practice a wellness coaching technique in a group exercise. We will conclude with a summation of possibilities for the incorporation of wellness coaching into your integrative medicine center or professional healthcare practice.

The workshop will be followed by the closing keynote by Larry Dossey, MD.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Transcending
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. View more

Healthy Computing - "Trim And Fit" - Erik Peper, PhD
Excessively long nails usually increase hand, arm, neck and shoulder tension because long nails encumber simple movements, resulting in awkward wrist and finger angles. In "Trim And Fit" Erik Peper, Ph.D. explains that for people with long finger nails the joints of the fingers and wrists cannot be placed in neutral positions when typing, mousing, buttoning or doing other fine motor activities. Stop sacrificing your health, save money and become fashionable. View more
