Resources
A person who meditates, regularly exercises avoiding myofacial injury, performs yoga, supplies their body with proper nutrients, and supplements to support (not substitute) a healthy organic diet, and has stopped doing destructive things, will double their perceived wellness factor- that ability to make healthy life choices and stick to them. However, if that person then adds Network care, their wellness factor triples! Take a look at some of the useful websites we love. Don’t be afraid to click on them and see what each have to offer.
Meditation
As a co-founder of Spirit's Call, Dorothy Becker has a unique background in healing. The basis of Spirit's Call philosophy operates on the premise that each person has at least three dimensions of self: the conscious self, the unconscious self and the higher self. By becoming more attuned to the conscious self, and by tapping into the unconscious self through such processes as meditation, self-exploration seminars, creative expression, counseling, movement, art, yoga, visualization, etc., one can access the higher self or connection to Source.
