by Carol Emery Normandi and Laurelee Roark. Unfortunately many girls, in order to look like a supermodel, need to develop an eating disorder and spend a lot of time being concerned with their food and their weight. Bulimia nervosa is a form of compulsive eating where you binge and then purge. Types of purging may include vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, or use of
diuretics, laxatives, or diet pills. Anorexia nervosa is self-starvation. People with anorexia refuse to maintain their body weight over a minimal natural
weight for their age and height.

by Dr. D. Richard
Bellamy. Life begins
with a first breath and ends with a last breath. Air contains the electricity
that charges our vital capacitor with energy. Breathing, posture, physiology,
and function are interrelated in expressing our vital potential energy. Energy
is infinite and is universally available to the one with greater order.
Higher-ordered breathing transforms and liberates energy. Disordered breathing
stifles and imprisons energy.

by Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. and Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. When our energy level is optimal, we become aroused and alerted to the world around us. Then, with a profound reciprocity, nature seems alerted to and connected to us. We experience energy as vigor and stamina -- the physical and mental strength that we can sustain and bring to bear upon any problem.

by Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. Respect is treating your body with the same care you would give any other valuable and irreplaceable object. When you respect your body, you are in partnership with it. Respect carries reciprocal energy. Treat your body as a structure worthy of respect and it will respond in kind. Abuse or ignore it and it will break down in various ways until you learn the lesson of respect.

by Barry Sultanoff, M.D. and Luise Light, Ed.D. When did you stop breathing fully? When did you begin to constrain your breath, tighten your chest, and limit the flow of air? Was it when you started mistrusting the world, unsure about others and their motives? Was there a frightening event -- a close call, a shocking
episode, an abuse or abandonment that triggered this constriction?

by Larry Clapp, Ph.D., JD. When your doctor gives you a diagnosis of prostate cancer, he or she is also likely to tell you that you must have treatment immediately or you will die. Each specialist urges you to opt for their approach (surgery, or radiation, or hormone therapy), insisting that it's absolutely the best thing to do, and that you should do it right now.

 by Marilyn Innerfeld. We do not have to become monks in order to lead spiritual, healthy lives. We do not have to be vegetarians, or wear flowing robes, or sit in meditation for hours each day. There is no spiritual 'path' because everything is spiritual and all choices are equal. We can work and be parents, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, brothers and sisters, honoring Self and others in each moment. No one is greater than another, for we are all the same.
