Healing Rhythms Training Tip |
Take a GRATITUDE walk in honor
of of yourself and the earth.
Gratitude opens up your way of thinking and
can elevate your mood.
Try This: Go for a gratitude walk. Drop what you
are doing for just 15 minutes and get outside and start walking!
The only rule is that during your walk, you are not allowed
to think about work or replay any unpleasant scenarios in
your head.
Focus on your legs stretching, hips opening
up and watch as your breath gets slower, deeper and more relaxed.
Turn your attention to all of the things in your life you
are grateful for and use this time to express your gratitude
for all of those people and things in your life.
After the fifteen minutes return to what you
were doing and notice your energy. Has it changed? How has
it changed? Wouldn't you like to feel this way more often?
Gratitude is not only good for yourself, it's
good for all those around you!

Your Health With A Dose of Gratitude
By Elizabeth Huebeck
What would happen if we extended the tradition of giving thanks,
typically celebrated just once a year during the holiday season,
throughout the entire year? Such gratitude would be rewarded
with better health, say researchers.
No pill? No strict diet or exercise regimen? Can just a positive
emotion such as gratitude guarantee better health? It may be
a dramatic departure from what we've been taught about how to
get healthier, but the connection between gratitude and health
actually goes back a long way.
"Thousands of years of literature talk about the benefits
of cultivating gratefulness as a virtue," says University
of California Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons. Throughout
history, philosophers and religious leaders have extolled gratitude
as a virtue integral to health and well-being. Now, through
a recent movement called positive psychology, mental health
professionals are taking a close look at how virtues such as
gratitude can benefit our health. And they're reaping some promising
results.

You'll Flip for These Mental Gymnastics By Dr.
Matthew Anderson
Overeating has almost nothing to do with hunger. We overeat
to dull, avoid or manage difficult feelings. We often use food
as a substitute for emotional needs that are unmet. If we are
feeling unhappy, deprived, depressed, sad, angry, disappointed
or empty, we often attempt to compensate with food.
I want to offer a wonderful, pleasant and easy technique that
will help you manage your difficult emotions. It is called gratitude.
I want to assure you that I am not suggesting the use of gratitude
as a denial mechanism. Of course, some people use it
for that but I trust you will not. Healthy gratitude is a natural
human function and, if used properly, will produce a deep sense
of satisfaction, peacefulness and even joy. Once you immerse
yourself in these feelings, you will probably not feel like
overeating. Here’s how it works.

Letter from Deepak Chopra |
| "The
state of wholeness is the basis for all healing."
For thousands of years the great Vedic seers have
proclaimed that the purpose of attending to the body is to support
the state of being known as enlightenment. In this state our
internal reference point shifts from the ego to spirit, and
we recognize that the knower, the process of knowing, and that
which is known are one and the same. The boundaries of time
and space become fluid as we remember ourselves as unbounded
beings temporarily masquerading as individuals. This state of
wholeness is the basis of all healing.
In my continuing exploration of healing, I am totally convinced
that true health is much more than the absence of an abnormal
laboratory finding; it is even more than optimal mind body integration.
Health in its essence is a higher state of consciousness. The
first step is knowing your body type.
In Ayurveda, living in tune with nature – easily, comfortably,
and without strain – means respecting your uniqueness.
