Healing is the leap out of a victim identity and into survivorship and service, out of suffering and into myth, out of the personal and into the collective, out of history, politics, society, and culture and into the universal.

Wellness is a state of living that applies to all living creatures — humans, animals, and plants.

We all want to have better lives, less stress, more joy, more focus, more success. But to have all this we need to understand our brains—and the importance of brain health.

Listen. Perceive. Have fun, be playful. Let your body show you the way!

Sometimes, we are so eager to improve our life and feel better that we rush ahead and try to change everything all at once.

The most conclusive evidence for the healthful effects of clay points to protection and detoxification as its primary benefit.
