Too Much Mental Noise? Simple Trick Actually Works
by Dr. Alexandra Emmons
About Me View My Posts
Our culture is abuzz with the benefits of mindfulness meditation and the idea of “meditation for at least 20 minutes a day” as a bare minimum upon which to start your practice. For busy people with busy lives, calming, and ideally quieting your mind for even 10, let alone 20 minutes sounds like a far cry from reality. Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly support meditating for 20 minutes.But, what... 5/12/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
It's a wonder some people don't get whiplash by trying to keep up with the latest findings regarding the many controversial or unsettled health issues in the news. Sometimes the uncertainty arises from changing circumstances, new findings through health studies/surveys, public appeals or demonstrations (most often carried out these days through social media and Internet discussion forums), laws or... 5/5/2015 7:00:00 AM

PTSD Can Affect Anyone - Not Only Veterans

About Me View My Posts
As a therapist of 20 years, I am always amazed by how many people come to me anxious and depressed, yet not realizing why they are feeling that way. Maybe they have lost a loved one, or were in an accident, or were bullied or abused in some way as a child. Maybe their family doctor put them on antidepressants, or antianxiety medication, maybe they have seen a therapist, but they still don't feel really... 5/4/2015 7:00:00 AM

by Dr. Alexandra Emmons
About Me View My Posts
Most of us have been told at one point or another in our lives to “take a deep breath and relax.” Turns out, there is scientific evidence in the context of meditation to back up that advice. But what exactly is meditation anyway? There are different ways to meditate, and because it is such a personal practice, there are many ways to go about meditating. When I write about meditation, I am referring... 4/29/2015 7:00:00 AM

by Jennie Lee
About Me View My Posts
Wellness has become a buzzword these days, ranging in application from medical diagnoses to spa services. Anyone you ask will have a list of things that make him/her feel good. For most people, this list will be based on circumstances and relationships outside of themselves. But externals are always changing and in order to cultivate an overall sense of true wellbeing, we must tap a source that remains... 4/29/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
“I occasionally drink too much, but it’s not a problem for me.” How many people have said that? They may be fooling themselves if they think that going overboard, or “binge drinking” of alcohol doesn’t affect their overall health.Just four glasses of wine for women or five glasses for men in 2 hours can do more harm to a person's health than previously thought, according to new research from the University... 4/25/2015 7:00:00 AM

Being There For Your Family Starts Here

It’s a familiar scene. You’re out at a café at lunch and you see a child and what looks to be their parent sitting at a two-person table. The parent is scrolling through their phone endlessly, picking at their meal, making zero eye-contact with their kid, and the child is playing a mindless game on an iPad or tablet barely touching their food.I feel disheartened when I see a parent and child “spending... 4/15/2015 7:00:00 AM

Yoga and Meditation Replacing Physical Education in Schools
by Pavita Singh, MPH
About Me View My Posts
I was throwing it right at you! Why didn’t you catch it? You’re supposed to catch the ball!” This was a typical experience for me in physical education – the most dreaded part of my school day. “Thanks a lot, Pavita! You made us lose!” The taunting would continue through the end of class, but it didn’t stop on the court or on the field. It followed me into the locker room, where I was teased for being... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

Want to know my big needle mover for fast, lasting fat loss? It has nothing -- and everything -- to do with the foods you eat and exercise you do.The best thing you can do to stay lean and healthy involves a good night's sleep. I'm talking quantity and quality here. If you sleep eight hours, but wake up three times during the night to go to the bathroom, you're not getting high-quality sleep, and the... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
There is a major shift taking place right now that may have consequences even those of us who are condemning it may not fully appreciate, much less explain to others. Actually, this so-called "shift" has been in the making for decades but, because it is being implemented so slow and surreptitiously, many people aren't even aware of what is taking place. If they are aware, they either don't have the... 4/8/2015 7:00:00 AM
