Releasing Trauma And Awakening
Trauma can become an excuse for not living a rich, full life, or it can be used as a catalyst for profound spiritual awakening. Many of us go through life as incomplete beings; not fully engaged in the present moment. There was point in time where we decided, consciously or unconsciously, to leave a part of ourselves in the past. In many cases, this traumatic incident becomes the seed source of many of our most persistent patterns. Beginning to view our trauma as a sacred message can be a powerful paradigm shift. If we can begin to see it as part of the suffering that, according to Buddha, is integral to the human experience, we can begin to use the energy it produces for our own spiritual evolution.

Read MoreTreating The WHOLE Patient – A Holistic Approach To Health
Did you know that conventional health care is nearly a thirty-trillion-dollar-a-year business? With the excessive spending on prescriptions, well patient visits, surgeries, emergency calls and more, you probably imagine that general health of U.S. citizens would be rising.

Read MoreWhere the Truth Lies – A Mind Body Holistic Approach to Optimal Health and Wellness
To know truth is to be free. To be free is to live wholly, with meaning and a sense of security leading to maximized self actualization. Sincerity is a form of truth, but sincerity alone can be misguided based on a person’s past experiences.

Being whole is to access true individualized need and a personal compelling desire leading to a sense of greater purpose. What you think, feel and know to be true about optimal health and wellness might be different than truth about it. Let’s explore truth and how it relates to lasting optimal health and wellness mental,...
