HEALTH & WELLNESS RESOURCES
Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the body lovelessly.
A Course in Miracles
To me, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial and sexual health are all linked. We can only be fully present, fully healed, fully alive or fully creative when all parts of our Being are in balance. Below are some of the concepts and resources I personally use to support myself in being most fully alive, present and creative in my own life.
RAW FOOD
My personal goal is to eat mostly raw fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts, as close to their natural state as possible.
Whether or not you choose to share this goal, most people know that we feel better and feel healthier with more raw foods in our diet.
I cannot make recommendations for any individual as to what is best for them. I can only share what I am doing personally and offer you the resources I have found so that you can, with your own physician's or nutritionist's advice, decide what is best for you.
Following are some resources for you if you want to explore this concept.

All healing is essentially the release from fear.

NETWORK SPINAL ANALYSIS
I have been in Network Care for 13 years. Why? I consider it one of my basic spiritual disciplines that supports my physical health by teaching my body to release tension (both past & present) from my nervous system. Network Care has supported me and my body in growing through and dealing with many, many life events that might otherwise have been overwhelming or stressful and might have gotten "stuck," as well as helping me release those that were stressful and did get stuck in the past.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Donald Epstein, the founder of this system, in Colorado, and Dr. Lance Wright, in Texas, and many, many other Network doctors for their part in my healing journey through Network Spinal Analysis.
If you live in or near Boulder, Colorado, see Dr. Kelly Martin. Call her at 303-545-9091 and tell her I sent you.

THE WORK OF BYRON KATIE
Byron Katie teaches us to explore our thoughts, which we may also call our story or our lies, by asking 4 simple stupid questions and turning the thought around.
It goes like this:
Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true?
How do you react when you think that thought?
Who would you be without that thought?
Turn it around. (Turn around to its opposite, self or other.)
This deceptively simple inquiry process can take us to amazing places if we are simply curious about our own thoughts and willing to explore them to see how they affect us.
Her book, "Loving What Is," and her web site http://www.thework.org give more information on the technique.
Call me for more information 720-317-4244.
Steven Sashen hosts Gatherings for the Work of Byron Katie on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month. Contact him at steven@quantumwealth.com for information.
