So amazing:
I used to be such a skeptic of this “energy healing” stuff. I initially dismissed it as quack medicine and crazy new age “science”. But, I was curious, so I began researching these modalities about 5 years ago. The first thing I learned was that this wan’t new age at all– these practices [...]
I attended Swami Veda Bharati’s lecture last night at the U of MN (pic above is of Swami Veda… and me getting dragged up on stage). The lecture was fantastic. I wish I could have filmed it to share with you all.
Ahh, but no worries, Swami Veda has a YouTube Channel! Check [...]
Ten years ago, I was in a sort of catatonic shock from my dad’s death. I thought my life had been destroyed– most of our possessions were repossessed or sold, we were kicked out of our home and I no longer had a dad. I was just turning 18 and I had no idea how [...]

After finishing my academic *stuff* on Wednesday, I was left with a strange void and question in my mind… “What now?!” The feeling was too much for me
So, I went back to my second home (my MAC) and stumbled across a contest for the OWN Network. I was stoked to see [...]
I’m getting amped for this event:
And I’m not just amped up because I’m one of the directors and a sponsor for the event. I volunteer my time (as does the founder of the event and all of the other directors) because we are so passionate about empowering individuals in their own health. The event is [...]
The Mayo Clinic released their Meditation App for the iPhone and iPod Touch… and the reviews that I’ve heard haven’t been so hot. Some of the complaints are that the App is overpriced and too simplistic. The expensive complaint I get, but let’s be serious, how complex should something be if its purpose is to [...]
A continuation from yesterday’s post…
I watched the doco Yoga Inc. last night and found it to be pretty fascinating. The amount of money being thrown at yoga is enough to throw anyone into a back bend (no joke, I dropped way too much money on some yoga clothes just last month). [...]
Great lines from the documentary Enlighten Up!:
Nick: ”When I’m twisting myself into a pretzel in the yoga studio, I’m thinking, ‘What the hell is the connection between this and enlightenment?’”
Norman Allen: ”Nothin. Absolutely nothin.”
Check out these clips:
I found these clips really fascinating and [...]
After my H1N1 post yesterday, I came across two great discussions about the potentially inflated statistics for H1N1 and on the safety of the H1N1 vaccine. Surprisingly good stuff by CBS:

I got a phone call from a good friend the other night…
“Ummm, Aimee, I ju- [coughs] just thought you sh- [clears throat, coughs] should know that I have H1N1.”
Awesome. (Here are a few of my thoughts on H1N1 if you missed my earlier post.)
Six of us were hanging out with our H1N1 buddy the same [...]
NAMI has finally admitted (kind of) that they are way too involved with Big Pharma.
Click here to read my earlier post on NAMI and why being BFF with Big Pharma is not the best route for advocacy organizations. If you donate money or volunteer with advocacy organizations, this is important info to be aware [...]
Positive Aging is made up of healthy eating, frequent exercise, self-study, an optimistic attitude and so much more. This concept reminds me that I have responsibility for my own health. I can’t live my life abusing my body and mind and be surprised by later illnesses. I can’t plead “why me?” or expect a doctor to fix damage that [...]
