Everyone is talking about “going green” as a way to save precious resources, not to mention creating a healthier environment and healthier economy. However, we all know that making lifestyle changes can be challenging, even when we have the best intentions. In seeking advice on this key issue, Natural Awakenings went seeking for a spiritual being whose mind is deeper than Deepak’s and whose heart is roomier than Rumi’s, a true avatar for our age.

We Americans love sugar, and it seems like we just can’t get enough of it. Per capita, the average US Citizen ingests ½ cup of the sweet stuff per day. This increased sugar consumption has created a myriad of health problems, many of which are putting an enormous strain on our health care system. Weight gain, insulin resistance, gum disease and tooth caries are just a few of the many problems resulting from our passionate affair with sugar.

Take a moment to notice your breathing. Are you breathing through your nose or through your mouth? Unless you just finished exercising or running up the stairs, you should be breathing through your nose.

Ongoing research in Denmark and China has resulted in substantial evidence that reflexology provides relief for the majority of the participants. In China, seventeen participants 5 to 80 years old received a 30-45 minute reflexology session consecutively for ten days. Anthralgia (joint pain) was caused by trauma in five cases, and by arthritis in twelve cases. Eleven patients including the five trauma cases completely recovered. Four patients significantly improved. Two patients were unaffected.

There are over 3500 various styles of qi-gong, one of which is Tai-chi. The movements of the various Qi-gong styles stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system that activates our healing response, switching our nervous system over from the sympathetic or stress related “fight or flight” mode. The resulting effect is that the endocrine system is balanced rather than excessively flooded with adrenaline and the nervous system is relaxed instead of overworked.

When traveling overseas you are introduced to different flora, fungi, various organisms and bacteria. Ingesting strange air, water and food challenges the body’s immune system. The digestive system is especially vulnerable and the elimination system has to work overtime to deal with new bacteria.

Food – it can be your joy or your guilt. From which emotion are you eating? Is your desire to loose weight, feel fit, be healthy or just feel good? If so, you must become a match to your desire. The law of attraction says, "Whatever you focus on, you attract." If you are holding thoughts about your body and the food you eat, that do not feel good, then you will be a match for that experience.

Health is achieved when we balance three main areas of our life: physical, mental and nutritional. During the holidays it is easy to let this all go out the window as we attend parties and get involved in activities that take us away from our normal routines of exercise and good dietary choices. This fast pace can also wear away at our emotional well being causing increased stress and possibly depression during this time of year.
