Overall Wellness
We want to live well while we live life long
It is not just about living long lives, we want to live well and to the greatest extent possible, THRIVE! There are so many resources available to us before we even think about going to get a drug for this or a drug for that. This then is the core principle of this web resource for you. We're always in a state of learning new things along our paths. Once you have the knowledge of a better way to treat ourselves with the natural resources around us, then the next step is taking the initiative and having the discipline to take that step toward a principal that Tony Robbins talks about: "CANI - Constant and Never-ending Improvement". As simple as it may seem to take a better path to wellness and vitality, as the great mentor of recent time Jim Rohn has remarked, "It's easy to, but it's even easier not to." So let's take the road, that has a climb and an effort, is arguably is less traveled, but where the air is fresher and the view is so much more life-giving. I wish you, who really takes this to heart, and in every reference to the heart, and love for your self and every thing and every one around you, take some of the ideas you will find here, and run with them for your own optimum health and those around you who you influence with your actions. Let's go do this!

It is a very good subject to be well versed in so that you can be in the best possible condition no matter what comes your way.

Sleep
Sleep - We need it to nourish our souls
Sleep is at the core of all wellness. Without optimum sleep, we are basically running on empty. One of the foremost resources on the science of good sleep is Shawn Stevenson, who is showcased in a Google talk in our Podcasts section.
Mind and Spirit
Mind and Spirit - A key to your connection and expansion
Mind and Spirit, a lifelong journey to connect with all that you are, an exploration into the depths of all your wisdom and capacity for all that comes your way in life. You can range from just clearing your head and heart for all that comes your way, or dive into the quantum field. It is all there, and the more we look into getting into a quiet space and being still, the more all of life can open up to us. Among some of the thought leaders today: The Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Michael Singer and Jack Kornfield. If you have a favorite, I don't mean to leave anyone out, as there are so many greats out there to help elevate us to the next level. Let’s, though, start with Jack Kornfield...
Nutrition
Nutrition, You are what you eat
You are no doubt hearing a great deal about plant based eating for optimum health. It is undeniable that for anyone dealing with health issues, plant based eating can have profound benefits toward getting back on a good health track. So much of what can inspire anyone in the direction of plant based foods as a positive health move is one of education and understanding of what different foods do for or to us. As this website is geared toward optimum health, lets dive into the subject of how we are literally what we eat, and small differences compounded in our eating habits over time can make a profound long range difference for our health and longevity. One of the pioneers on this subject is Dr. Dean Ornish, and here to start off with is a resource of nutritional guidance from him here for you.
Exercise
Exercise, or use what you want to stay fresh and strong
As the old saying goes, “Use it or lose it”, I think we all know the truth in this. It is the choices we make of consistent effort that build the work engine of our bodies the way we would like to perform. To use a metaphor, if you were training for the next Olympics, how would you treat your body every day in preparation day after day and week after week, month after month, and year after year? Most of us are not training for a big event, but with the thought that you are an unrepeatable miracle on the planet, with no one ever being like you today, the past, nor in the future exactly like you, how do you want to treat yourself? Thinking about all you can possibly be, let’s go after it, and see what Peter Attia, MD has to say about exercise and longevity.
Nature
Nature, where we all come from
Nature, in its simplicity, holds the wellness that we may seek, whether it is simply tuning into the healing power of sunlight or the awe and wonder that we get being in a giant redwood grove. There is a saying: 'Nature does nothing but leaves nothing undone." Being in nature is ephemeral, so it is a bit challenging to describe, and yet poets and writers through history have done what they could to describe the profound benefits of being in nature to reconnect us from where we came from. For all of this, I have another website, Nature To Healing, which is made up of all the references I could find dealing with the healing power of nature, This includes notable quotes, various talks and other references that take a closer look at what is out there to help us on our journey of our own vitality. That is why I have scenes throughout this website mostly of nature to remind you that just the idea of being in or seeing nature, even without actually being in it, has a calming effect on our senses. I will venture to say that even just the subtleness of you seeing these images of nature here in this website is contributing to your positive perspective. How about that? So here you are for a deeper look into the healing power of nature.
