HEALTH: Resonating with what we want instead

We’re all drawn to certain things – particular colours, certain kinds of music, special friends. We sometimes say we feel like we 'resonate' with them – and we’re quite right, we do: we are on the same wavelength.

The trouble is, we not only resonate with things that are good for us (things, ideas, places and people that bring us greater health and energy), but also with things that are bad for us (they make us unwell, off balance, disoriented).

HEALTH: Diets ~ which one?

There are hundreds of products and programs out there for losing weight and gaining weight, but it's questionable whether they contribute anything to our overall health. How do we know what is healthy and what isn’t?

HEALTH: Cancer survivor's guide

Making lemonade out of the big lemon: cancer is all of that, and more. In case you are using your health issue as an opportunity to discover how to really nourish yourself and discover what's important for you, inside and out, you may be feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to begin. I'm listing just five suggestions here, pretty much all to do with nutrition. Each one is a great place to begin, so do any or all of them, depending on what you can manage ~ going into action is what counts!

BOOKS: For book lovers

When you were a kid, did you ever read novels in classes you found boring? I remember when I was thirteen or so, a friend and I were romping through all the novels so temptingly provided by our English teacher and when we could get away with it (in Latin, I seem to remember), we would spend the whole period with a book in our lap, totally absorbed and more than happy ~ while the rest of the group, come to think of it, must have been pretty bored, judging by how they played up the poor teacher...

Anyway, I'm still addicted to reading. Love it! So I'll sometimes post titles I've found particularly good on things like health, self-healing, and other things like that. You can find them under BOOKS.

HEALTH: Don't exercise, cellercise!

Dave Hall, who spent years refining mini-trampolines and rebounders to develop what he calls a cellerciser, has just come out with a new DVD. I saw it a few weeks ago and have been cellercising every day since then, several times a day. That's unbelievably impressive for a no-exercise addict like me!
