Mindfulness and meditation are widely accepted as useful practices for greater health and well-being. The full value of these disciplines is not limited to the comfort they bring or the sense of peace they confer, or even the countless health benefits they offer. If you are an athlete, a martial artist, a transformational leader, like a parent or teacher, the ability to access mindfulness and use meditation while in action presents a powerful stratagem to add to your skill set. For persons of action, these skills have the potential to improve performance and unlock latent abilities. By virtue of your intention to create real world change in real time, be it in sports, conflict or in life, you are intentionally moving into the field of change to influence the unfolding events toward your desired outcome. This can be a risky, even dangerous, adventure that makes you vulnerable to all sorts of setbacks, disappointments, pain and suffering. You know this and endeavor to succeed in spite of the risk.
A happy tooth means a lot more than just a good smile. A happy tooth gives you reasons to smile even more, which is why it is important to prevent tooth decay.

To help his patients live a healthy lifestyle, Zeines developed Vital Boost®, a phyto-nutrient rich Superfood that contains a unique combination of nutraceutical ingredients.
When it comes to students with learning issues, most people think of terms like learning disability or dyslexia. But what happens when your child’s academic difficulties are due to emotional or behavioral struggles? How does special education address needs that have less to do with learning, and more to do with feeling and behaving?
Does your skin have the ‘missing the summer and dreading the winter’ blues? Don’t you love the long days of summer with the warmth and sun kissed summer skin where you can enjoy local garden veggies, salads, melons and smoothies and anything cooling you crave?
Miriam-Webster defines meditation as “the act or process of spending time in quiet thought”. It also defines mindfulness as “the quality or state of being mindful or aware”. I wonder how many of us actually take the time to be in quiet thought, to be aware? Oh, and yes, what is being aware or awareness? Do we actually feel, experience or notice the sounds, sensations or emotions around and within us?
