Mind
and Spirit
By
Rudy Scarfalloto
Body,
mind and spirit: they compose the great trinity of
self. Of the three, the body is relatively simple
to care for. On the other hand, caring for the mind
and the spirit can be a bit like trying to find your
way home as you drive through busy traffic in a strange
city—on a rainy and foggy night. Yes, caring
for the body is simple: you just feed it, exercise
it, and rest it. Typically, most of the challenges
we face in caring for the body stem from those tricky
(and often hidden) psychological or spiritual issues.
When those issues are not addressed, we tend to eat
improperly, exercise too little or too much, and we
don’t get enough rest .

Indigenous Healing:
Revolving in the Natural World
By John Little
Long
before the birth of what we call medicine, people
had many methods for healing physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual ailments. Interestingly, many of those
methods were very widespread and common to cultures
around the world that had no contact with each other.
And many of those old methods are still used today,
mostly in what we call indigenous or Earth cultures.
To understand indigenous healing, it’s necessary
to remember that what we call indigenous healing had
its roots in a time when there was literally nothing
but humans and nature. The people then didn’t
have the incredible number of mundane things that
we have now that occupy our time and distract our
minds. Try to imagine living with no TV to watch,
no phone to answer,

| Beyond
the Blues
By Dr. Paul Fleischer, Psy.D.
Depression has become one of the most pervasive and
destructive disorders of our time. The costs, both
in terms of human suffering and economics, are staggering.
Serious depression can destroy not only the lives
of the sufferers, but also the lives of those who
love them. Yet much of this suffering is unnecessary.
While most people with depression never seek treatment,
depression is highly treatable. And, as you will see,
it can even lead to positive life change and spiritual
growth.

Ecopsychology
tells us what our ancestors knew...nature is the soul’s
best healer.
“Ecopsychology is the study of the human psyche
in the context of the larger systems of which it is
part. It aims to promote sustainable relationships
among humans and extend to sustainable relationships
with the more-than-human world.
