Stress and Brain Chemistry:
Not Just A Kick In The Head

by Jude Treder-Wolff, LCSW, RMT, CGP / Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Music Therapist and Certified Group Psychotherapist
Stress is a bit like falling in love - it's all about chemistry. 21st century life, with its crazy pace and fancy technology transforming everything before our eyes, actually started out like many romances - all sexy and new, heady with that heightened sense of possibility. But an adrenaline rush - whether its from falling in love or failing an exam - must be balanced by more sustainable and stable emotional states or the intensity will burn us out.

What Animals Teach Us About Spiritual Freedom
by Liz Mitten Ryan / Excerpted from her book Life Unbridled: What Animals Teach Us about Spiritual Freedom
Animals have not chosen to limit themselves as people do. Often our lives are given no importance by humans. We, being no lesser parts of the All, experience the same range and depth of emotion that it is, possible to experience. We love, desire, feel happiness, sadness, pain and longing, - often more so as we are often captives in a barren existence, prisoners of human ambition. Had we wanted, there has been little incentive or opportunity to develop a finite sense of self, and possibly that is why we are in our present situation. When one does not solely identify with this existence it is easier to leave it.

Food As Medicine
by Rene David Alkalay, PhD, ND, DD / Naturopathic Doctor and Spiritual Director of Tree of Life Yoga and Wellness Center in Forest Hills, NY
We need food to live and at those times when food is scarce our ability to survive has been largely due to the fact that we are omnivorous, that is, we eat just about everything. This is a distinct advantage when we were competing with other animals for food sources. Yet, our very strength easily becomes our weakness. The variety of food available to us today is perhaps greater than at any time in history, and yet we are considered among the most undernourished people in history.

 FEATURED BOOK
Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul
by Deepak Chopra

Fifteen years after his #1 New York Times bestseller, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra revisits "the forgotten miracle"–the body’s infinite capacity for change and renewal. You cannot take advantage of this miracle, Chopra says, unless you are willing to completely reinvent your body, transforming it from a material object to a dynamic, flowing process. "Your physical body is a fiction," Chopra contends. Every cell is made up of two invisible ingredients: awareness and energy.

Using Chopra’s ten steps to wholeness, you can harness those basic elements to change the distorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and disease.

Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul delivers ten breakthroughs–five for the body, five for the soul–that lead to self-transformation. In clear, accessible terms, Chopra shows us how to commit ourselves to deeper awareness, focus on relationships instead of consumption, embrace every day as a new world, and transcend the obstacles that afflict body and mind.
