CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
A SPIRITUAL CLASSIC COMES TO THE SCREEN!
CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD opens in theaters this
Friday, October 27, 2006 and in Canada, November 10. I highly
recommend that you go see the film next weekend. We need more
films like this in theaters and the best way for us to support
the filmmakers is to show up on opening weekend!!! Lets show
the media and the studios that we will turn out to see a movie
about love and compassion, not the Hollywood formula of fear
and violence.
The film chronicles the dramatic journey of a
down-and-out man who becomes a spiritual messenger and bestselling
author. Adapted from the books by Neale Donald Walsch that inspired
and changed the lives of millions worldwide, CONVERSATIONS WITH
GOD tells the true story of Walsch (brilliantly portrayed by
Henry Czerny) who, at the lowest point in his life, asks God
some very hard questions. The answers he gets become the foundation
of an internationally acclaimed book series that has sold over
7 million copies and been translated into 34 languages.

Health Care
Saves Big Bucks on Patients Who Meditate
By Shirley Ryan
Sometimes the best things in life are free… Researchers
studying meditation show that stress is a vicious cycle: Unchecked
stress turns into anxiety; anxiety turns into depression, which
over time turns into a hormone that plays havoc with the internal
organs of the body, producing a variety of illnesses and disorders.
Meditation can turn that around, reducing anxiety, depression,
and the hormones that damage our body. Both adults and children
are using meditation to control feelings and behavior. When
you look at how our children interpret the body’s responses,
these feelings are externalized as both bodily dysfunction and
behavior issues. We are seeing that all of these complaints
are endemic in our country and in the world.
Viewed from a hormonal level, meditation can counteract
the fight-or-flight response that floods the body with a stress
hormone which also shuts down the parasympathetic system. This
hormone normally restores order after the fight-or-flight response
alert is over.

Touting Tea
From Newsweek, 10/03/06
A new study finds that drinking tea may reduce
the risk of deadly diseases—and that's just one of many
health benefits associated with the popular beverage.
I love coffee. I love the way it smells. I love
the way it tastes. (Although I'm so sensitive to caffeine, even
a cup of coffee makes me talk as fast as Robin Williams might
sound if he were on speed—and, hey, do you have to drive
so slowly?) But I drink tea now. Most of the time.
Apparently, I'm not alone. Tea is the most widely
consumed beverage in the world, other than water. Over 6.6 billion
pounds of tea are produced each year.

The Golden Water Pagodas
Try this: When you lie down to sleep at night,
use the image of the boat bobbing on the sea to conjure the
natural, easy heart breath. By taking a few minutes to focus
on your breathing at night, you help your mind and body unwind
and enter a totally relaxed state, ensuring a good night's sleep.
Don't force it or worry about counting; consider it a lullaby
to yourself, easing you to sleep.
