 American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation How Indian Spirituality Changed the West - Philip Goldberg
In February, 1968, the Beatles went to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It may have been the most momentous spiritual retreat since Jesus spent those forty days in the wilderness. With these words, Philip Goldberg begins his monumental work, a fascinating look at India's remarkable impact on Western culture. This eye-opening popular history shows how the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the mind-body methods of Yoga have profoundly affected the worldview of millions and radically altered the religious landscape. From the time of Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman, succeeding generations absorbed India's "science of consciousness" and wove it into the fabric of our lives. Charismatic teachers like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda came west in waves, prompting leading intellectuals, artists, and scientists—Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger, John Coltrane, Dean Ornish, and Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass—to adapt and disseminate what they learned from them. The impact is dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos.
View more Bookstore Home Ed. note: Philip Goldberg is a regular columnist to Healthy Update. I highly recommend this important contribution of our understanding of the profound influence of Indian philosophy in the US over the past 200 years. The impact of meditation, pranayama (breath awareness), and yoga of the development of mind-body medicine, field of relaxation and stress reduction (resilience), and integrative medicine has been immense.

Vegan Global Fusion - "Miso - A Live Food for Every Day" - Louise Hagler
The asparagus is starting to come up and I am ready. My favorite way to eat asparagus is to snap it off and eat it raw, grazing in the garden. My next favorite way it to roast it. Roasting does an excellent job of reviving supermarket asparagus. It can be roasted plain, just rolled in a little olive oil with a sprinkle of salt, or add some pressed garlic and balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. So simple, and so good. Serve as an appetizer, vegetable, snack, or in salad.

Spiritual Wellness - "The Spirit of Wellness" - Philip Goldberg, Ph.D.

However, religious involvement is generally good for your health only when your spiritual life itself is healthy. Some of the basic elements of spiritual wellness include take responsibility, heal religious wounds, go beyond belief, broaden your base, gather together, and monitor your progress. View more
