Mind and Spirit
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
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.
