Anyway, here's Linda's website : http:/ www.awakeninghealth.net/. Let me know if you are interested in attendin...

Awakening Health: January 2011
http://awakeninghealth.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. Don't just do something, sit there! I've been thinking a lot about attachment. I get so used to how things are that I find myself fighting change, even though I know everything is temporary. What I needed to do was nothing. Eventually, I relaxed into what was already here. I found acceptance and started to believe I was where I was for a reason. I spent time just paying attention - to how I felt and to what was going on around me in each moment.

Awakening Health: August 2010
http://awakeninghealth.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Want to feel good? I remember when I first started to do yoga - I didn't really know what I was doing and I felt clumsy doing it. I was in a period of my life where I was desperately unhappy and I didn't know why. I have always wondered what it is about yoga that makes us feel this way. Now, an article from Science Daily,.

Awakening Health: May 2009
http://awakeninghealth.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2009. I have a cottage on a lake in northern Michigan, surrounded by old and mighty trees. They persevere through the most ferocious blizzards and thunderstorms that come up out of the west. Yet each spring, I find trees that have fallen. We are all pretty adept at surviving the routine stresses of our lives (albeit with some less than healthy coping methods! Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Don't believe everything you think! How often do you examine your thoughts? Most of us are not. And ...

Awakening Health: Who's Driving the Bus?
http://awakeninghealth.blogspot.com/2010/03/whos-driving-bus.html
Sunday, March 14, 2010. Who's Driving the Bus? I don't know about you, but from time to time I realize that my life is driving me, that I am not in the driver's seat. When I start feeling overwhelmed with too many things to do and I don't feel like doing any of them, when I can't get "enough" done each day and feel tired most of the time, I know it is time to pay attention. Did it need to be done at all? What would happen if it wasn't done? I know from my own experience that if I'm not paying attention, ...

Awakening Health: The Woods and Wellness
http://awakeninghealth.blogspot.com/2010/09/woods-and-wellness.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. The Woods and Wellness. Do you have a special spot where you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you, present in a timeless sort of way? For me, it is in the forest. In The Healing Power of Forests. ScienceDaily, July 26, 2010), we learn that forests, as well as other green spaces, can improve our immune system, reduce stress, mitigate anger and aggressiveness and increase our level of happiness. Thanks for sharing it. September 22, 2010 at 7:34 AM. Compreh...

Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn. This YouTube video of Jon's mindfulness talk at Google is a great introduction as well as a refresher of mindfulness practice.
