Holistic Stress Management

Holistic Stress Management

Discover simple and enjoyable techniques to reduce stress and boost resilience for a healthier, more fulfilling life. Many researchers believe that at least 80% of all illnesses are stress-related, while some believe all illness is related to stress. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers stress a "global epidemic." Knowledge is power. Lifestyle changes learned in a Wellness Paths workshop can help to heal and prevent dis-ease while promoting increased enjoyment of life.

5 Aspects of Holistic Health

5 Aspects of Holistic Health

Adopt natural and integrative approaches to achieve optimal wellness, learning about the five aspects of health. The increased incidence of chronic illness, along with rising healthcare costs, demands thinking outside the box of conventional healthcare. Conventional healthcare attempts to repair physical damage to the body or relieve symptoms, primarily through the use of medication and surgery. Because the combined effects of emotional, psychological, environmental, and spiritual factors are often overlooked, a fragmented approach that targets only physical symptoms is frequently used. True healing isn't possible with this approach, and often one illness after another appears. Holistic health is concerned with healing the whole person - body, mind, spirit, and emotions - and with preventing "dis-ease."

Presentation and book signing by author Amanda Murphy, RN. The Gift is for You: The Healing Power of Canine Companions, Connect, and Courage - An inspiring account of one woman's heroic journey beyond the effects of trauma. Neglected as an infant, abandoned as a toddler, and "rescued" into an abusive adoptive home, the author takes the reader on a winding path of recovery, supported by canine and human partners and by the study of holism. In addition to heartwarming anecdotes about dogs' roles in her healing, the author explores universal themes, including identity, belonging, forgiveness, and the search for meaning. Refreshments served.
