Continuing our Wellness Journey - Feeling
 This week our journey focuses on Feeling, the 6th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience feelings and emotions from well before the event of our birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful. They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them, repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life fully lived is life filled with feeling! View more
Simply Well - "Breathe for Life" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
Many languages use the same word for both breath and spirit, or life force. In "Breathe for Life" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., encourages you to start paying attention to your breathing as a form of relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Breathing consciously not only will relieve tension and help quiet any fear, it can also relieve pain. So before you reach for the aspirins, the antacid tablets, or the telephone to call your doctor, do some breathing. View more
101 Exercises for the Soul - "Let Your Heart Decide" - Dr. Bernie Siegel
Sometimes we get into a rut and find ourselves constantly tired or depressed, so that even taking time off or resting doesn't seem to change the way we feel. The reason is that we have stopped paying attention to our feelings and are no longer listening to our heart. Our inner child wants to be heard and do what makes it happy; it wants to burn up its energy and not burn out. View more

Your Eyesight and You: A Total Mind/Body Understanding of Vision - "What Your Glasses Reveal About You: Part 1 of 2" - Martin Sussman
There's a mysterious connection between how you see and who you are. Nobody understands it exactly, but it's been documented for more than 100 years. The more that I have studied the eyes, and the more that I teach people to gain better vision – as I have for over three decades – the more I appreciate how deep and profound our sense of sight is.

Women's Health Detective - "Beyond Glucosamine Sulfate – Relief From Arthritis Pain" - Nan Fuchs, PhD
Pain is your body's way of getting your attention. It is a loud voice shouting that you have an inflammation that needs to be addressed.

I've talked about this in the past and spoke about some nutrients you can use to reduce inflammation. View more
Integrator Blog - "Alert: Comments Due 12/05 on 'Integrative Health Care' in Nation's New Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy"
If you care what "integrative health care" might mean in the nation's plans for health, wellness and prevention, the time is now for input. Three of the top 4 purposes of the National Prevention and Health Promotion Council established under the Obama-Pelosi healthcare overhaul explicitly reference "integrative health care." That Council has issued its "Draft Framework" for a "National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy." December 5, 2010 is the last day for input. The framework envisions "moving the nation from a focus on sickness and disease to one based on wellness and prevention." But does the framework adequately reflect the principles and value of "integrative health care"? What additions or amendments to this framework are needed? Share yours with the Surgeon General and the Council. Consider sending them here to the Integrator to share community perspectives. View more
