I've always believed strongly in the connection between eating natural whole organic foods and good health.

At this stage I am only running one week retreats, but am looking at doing a two week one in QLD next year for those that like to do that. At the moment the Sept retreat on the Sunshine Coast is booked out - but I am putting on a retreat on the Gold Coast in November. If you go to the site www.embracinghealth.com.au/retreat you will find a "Register Here" button where you can enter your details so that you will be the first to find out once I announce the Gold Coast Retreat! I hope to see you there! Leisa Hi Christine,

]]> Comment on Stress and Switching Off… by Dr B http://www.embracinghealthblog.com/2008/07/23/stress-and-switching-off/#comment-65 Dr B Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:41:41 +0000 http://www.embracinghealthblog.com/?p=118#comment-65 Regarding the "meditative state": There’s no activity that can accomplish the same thing as the Transcendental Meditation technique. A hike or run through the forest, sitting on the banks of a stream, relaxing with a good book at the beach — these are pleasant, restorative pastimes that can allow the mind to step out of its habitual boundaries. Shifting the attention from its habitual focus can be refreshing, healing and restorative, especially when the shift is toward greater freedom or beauty. These are all necessary and enjoyable activities. Yoga postures, when done properly, can invigorate the body and the mind, but even yoga asanas are another activity — and activity must be balanced with rest. It’s rest that most powerfully rejuvenates — not more activity. We’ve all had the experience of finishing up a harried month at work to escape on a dream vacation, only to return 10 days later more tired than when we left. For increased dynamism, for consistently richer and more inspiring perception, for more generous and nourishing relationships, rest must become deeper. If we want to accomplish more and enjoy more, to be more and give more, we must rest more deeply, more efficiently, more completely. If we want a life of growth and expansion, expressing more of our inherent potential, then our daily activity must be balanced with deeper, more efficient rest. The TM technique is an effortless, natural process that allows the mind to move inward from the conscious, active, surface level of ordinary experience, through incremental steps to the more refined, refreshing, nourishing levels of mind at the very source of thought. This experience also brings deep, rejuvenating rest to the body, as so many scientific studies have shown. Enjoying this experience everyday does much more for our health and wellbeing than a walk in the woods or another great fishing trip. And as filmmaker David Lynch says, diving within to the source of creativity is how you catch the big fish.
