Magnetic Therapy: The Facts (and Some Myths)
Is magnet therapy regarded yet as a mainstream therapy?

There is a useful parallel to be drawn between magnetic therapy and acupuncture. Acupuncture today is an accepted alternative therapy but 20 or 30 years ago it was regarded with deep suspicion.

The Writer As Activist
Almost two years ago, before the release of my first book, "Short of a Picnic," I began writing nonfiction Internet essays that, like the book itself, deal with mental health. I say "deal" with mental health instead of "dealt" with mental health because these essays, five or six of them altogether, continue to be read. I know that people still read them because some folks e-mail me about them, sharing their personal stories and requesting elaboration on my part. In addition, the pieces have a ...

Although health and healing are the common goals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and allopathic medicine, their ideas on the etiology of disease, disease itself and the process used to regain health are decidedly different.

The Business of Sharing Your Gift
If you are like me, you started your business because you care about people. You have a special gift that, when shared, can change people’s lives for the better. You are not in this for the money or to buy lots of toys and extravagant “things”. The point is to make a difference and serve a purpose. Many of us have stepped away from the corporate world – the RAT RACE – and are finding the peace we always knew was there. We are reconnecting with what is important. There is only one problem….

Using Natural Supplements for Your Performance Horse
Last month I took my 4 year old mule, Jake, to a training clinic. When we joined the other 13 riders in the ring the first morning, Jake was a bit overwhelmed. He was pretty wound up with all the activity and just a step away from an out-of-mule-body experience. It occurred to me that I had not given him any Rescue Remedy or taken any myself. I usually give us both Rescue Remedy when we face something new and challenging. I took Jake back to the trailer and we both took a dose. The rest of the m ...

The Body-Temple, A Song of Glory
One of the most fascinating stories I've ever heard came from a respected psychic teacher who received a phone call from a man in a hospital to have both feet amputated.

Knowing this to be true, the man promised to change jobs and his feet, deciding to trust him, healed immediately.
