New Frontier in Wellness

Dr Oz on Oprah said that the next frontier in medicine is energy medicine. Well, it is here. My colleague and I will be doing our first hands-on course for anyone in the Denver area September 12, 2009. If you would like to come or you know people in the area who would like to know more about energy medicine, please signup on our Energy Medicine site.

There is a free audio on that site for you to get more information. I will be relaying more soon about ways to increase your energy, relieving pain and a host of other information, so stay tuned!

Low Back Pain and Exercise

Many people who have chronic low back pain do not exercise because they feel that exercise will make their pain worse. Studies have shown that exactly the opposite is true. People with chronic low back pain who worked out 4 days a week had a reduction in pain of 28% compared with those who only did 2 days a week and had 14% reduction in pain. The exercises that were done were strength training exercises. Increasing the strength of the muscles helped alleviate the back pain.

There are some other things you can do for lower back pain besides exercise, although I am not telling you to avoid exercise. If you can find an energy medicine practitioner, they are often able to align energies from within which will help alleviate your lower back pain.

#7 of 7 Ways to Lessen Stress in Your Life

Finally, the last way to lessen stress in your life is to organize. Plan out your daily activities and schedule. This will help empower you in taking control. When you've completed a task or activity, instead of just checking it off the list, write a big SUCCESS over the top of it. Celebrate your having completed the task or activity. This can be as simple as completing the grocery shopping or going to the post office. It doesn't matter celebrate that you completed the task or activity. You'll be amazed at how good you feel just by having done this.

I am working with a friend who is an energy healer and we are putting together a course on stress and healing, using energy as well as other sources for healing and coping with stress. I will keep you informed as we get closer to the course.
