Dear Natural Awakenings Readers and Friends,

Psst, are you awake? This month, we explore the far-reaching, yet fundamentally personal, topic of “Awakening Humanity.” At its foundation, awakening humanity is about making the shift of our individual focus from “me” to “we.” In our feature article, “It’s All About We” (page 18) Linda Sechrist explores this topic as it relates to several recent literary works. You’ll learn how thought leaders such as Jack Canfield and Lynn McTaggart can help us see through the “what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is yours” mentality into a “me-we” way of thinking that can help inform wise decision-making about everything from environmental stewardship to economics to health and spiritual development.

The Problem

They come in each day all with different health complaints and suffering in their own special way. No two are exactly the same. Most have been suffering for years and have tried everything, almost everything, that is, to get well. While many treatments and medicines have offered hope and have helped, at least for a while, they finally fail to stop the never ending discomfort, pain and suffering.

Each doctor has told them that they have this or that condition or disease. They show the entire range of classic symptoms of it, don’t they? Then why didn’t their treatments work? The answer is that the true underlying cause was missed or ignored. Ignored because it wasn’t recognized as the real “felon”, the real reason for their/your problem.

You may be completely miserable and you don’t even know it. This is the case with most of my new patients until they experience just how great they can feel after just a few weeks of treatment. I was discussing this with one of my colleagues here at Patients Medical, Dr. Vivan DeNise, who specializes in hormonal balancing and integrative internal medicine and she heartily agreed.

Frost Valley Needs Transportation For Sandy Victims

Date: November 14, 2012 Author: NA nyc 394 views Leave a comment

Frost Valley YMCA in the Catskills, New York has seen a tremendous response to their Free Hurricane Sandy Family Get-Aways posted previously on our site. This includes the Thanksgiving celebration, where families can get a free weekend stay, hot meals, lodging, and a place to get-away from it all. Currently, there are over 70 families, representing hundreds of people, who would like to be at Frost Valley for their weekends and Thanksgiving celebration. However, they have no means of transportation after the storm. Frost Valley is looking at ways to bus them up from the city and back down. This will be a significant cost, approximately $15,000.00. Maybe more if more families need help.

Life: Heaven or Hell?

It was cold and rainy the day I went to prison. Although it was in the middle of the summer, there was nothing warm about the place. There was no heating, no color, no plants, no life. Simply a dark, barren, harsh concrete trap on an island made of rock in the middle of the San Francisco harbor. The place was Alcatraz. Fortunately, I was only there as a visitor. But even being there for an afternoon gave me a glimpse of what life must have been like for thousands of prisoners who lived there before the prison was closed. It was a cold, dark, haunting place that allowed few, if any, of its residents to escape.

The 3 Circles in Work and Life

Date: November 7, 2012 Author: NA nyc 375 views Leave a comment

Why are so many people unhappy at work? Can anything be done about it? Yes – by reconnecting your work with your life and inner world journey. We all want happiness and we all want to be away from suffering. Imagine the three realms of life – work, home, and inner fulfillment – to be circles. When our circles have rich overlap, we are happy; when our circles have no overlap, we suffer. The forces at play today tend to push these circles away from each other. The best remedy is to create a deliberate strategy for happiness at work and life that seeks not less but more overlap.

What Happened to New York?

Date: November 2, 2012 Author: twoods 399 views Leave a comment

Sitting here after days with no power assessing what has happened. A crazy time to be a New Yorker, or a resident of the NorthEast for that matter for the widespread destruction we have encountered. Some lost lives, some lost everything, some lost nothing and are operating normally and some are half way in between. It really is hard to know what to say in a time like this, when almost everyone you know is facing some type of hardship. In this moment, we are seeing what the bare necessities of life are and we feel abundant when we have heat, warm food and shelter. Our daily lives prior to this disaster were truly over-indulgent.
