A Quest for Well-Being

— Strength training as we know helps us build muscle and get stronger, but that's not all. Through this process, we are also reshaping our metabolism enabling our bodies to burn more calories at rest. The more muscle we have on our body the more energy output we have, which allows our body to break-down our fat stores in order to meet this new demand. Also having a higher muscle mass percentage im...

— Shamanic healing includes a huge body of ancient wisdom "technologies" for engaging nonphysical beings in the spirit realms to assist humans in healing, evolving and harmonizing ourselves, our communities and our relationship to All That Is. "We are on the brink of a phenomenal healing revolution with new, radical understanding and breakthrough technologies emerging continually. I desire to spar...

— What if everyone actually is doing the best they can, at that moment in time, with the potential to change in the very next second to another best they can. Each one of us is doing the best we can, bending, adapting, to the world.  Who am I to say that the way you bend is wrong? Who are any of us to judge each other like that? We each may have a preference, but if we judge each other we will jus...

— We humans determine ourselves where our space is, from breath to breath, from thought to thought. We can stay in the shadow, worrying and doubting, or we can step into the sunshine with trust. The universe smiles at you in every blossom, in every bird song, in the sparkling of the stars. You are unique. You are precious. You are beloved. Valeria Teles interviews Brigitte Novalis  — the author of...

— "My passion is love. To become love. To be love. To open for love and to be in service to love. Love is a state of being, and never a demand.  However, we all expect to get love from outside." – says Sabina Valeria Teles interviews Sabina Rademacher — She is a Love & Relationship Coach, helping women and men break through blocks and finding their authentic Self, so they can stop sabotaging love....

— "It is truly an honor to work as a psychotherapist and to have the opportunity to witness people as they go through the healing process. I am continually amazed by people's ability to transform their suffering into joy and to find meaning even in their most painful experiences. By developing compassion and forgiveness for oneself and others, I believe anyone can create a more fulfilling life." –...

— As a mother, Ingrid Marquez who has watched her son struggle with heroin addiction for almost 13 years, she understands the heartbreak, fear, guilt and the tremendous amount of stress and anxiety one lives with 24 hours a day.

— "To live a healthy and enriched life, our past emotional wounds—like bodily infections—must be cleansed and allowed to heal." – From the book Give Back the Pain. Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Robert Bleck — the author of " Give Back the Pain: Emotional Healing Through Source Completion Therapy ." Veteran educator/researcher/psychotherapist Dr. Robert Bleck has devised a simple, but effective 3-ph...

— We are limited by outdated gender stereotypes, both men in their lack of access to a wide range of emotions and caregiving and women in their limited access to leadership and power. It's in our best interest to move towards flexibility and being instrumental or nurturant as circumstances require. This means we stop telling boys not to cry or be like girls and stop telling girls to be nice little...

— Storytelling dates back to the beginning of time. In fact, stories are perhaps the strongest bonds we have with other nations and races. Australian aborigines painted symbols from stories on cave walls to help storytellers remember their tales. The Egyptians were the first people to write down their stories; and the Romans, through their travels and conquests, were adept at disseminating stories...

— According to recent figures, back pain has now reached epidemic proportions with millions of people across the globe experiencing severe muscular pain every year. In fact, over 4 million people now search "lower back pain" into Google every month. Most are suffering completely unnecessarily, as the root cause of their pain stems primarily from poor postural habits while performing everyday actio...

— Rightness is the drug of choice. What most people don't get, however, is that you have to go to WRONG to be right. And, the biggest fear we have (aside from death) is being wrong. We don't consciously know that is our fear. So being right, not wrong drives us, and we're not even aware of it. And because we're so afraid of it, we use judgment to defend our rightness—we judge everything and everyo...

— We each have a quiet center at the core of our being. Living in the world provides a multitude of opportunities to distract us from this. Instead of peace, we experience stress, turmoil, and suffering of all kinds. These experiences are not necessary ones. It is possible to live in the world and transcend suffering. What this requires is understanding and connecting with the enormous power of th...

— "We continuously manifest our circumstances from stuck feelings. The world then mirrors back our blind spots so that, sooner or later, we become more self-aware." — says Chris Cirak  Valeria Teles interviews him — Chris Cirak — the author of " Be You: The Journey of Self-Realization" Chris has a passion for turning sophisticated topics into accessible, meaningful, and inspiring experiences.

— When we take the time to connect to our bodies we can recognize the range left on our emotional gas tank and choose how far we can go with the emotional reserves we have. This isn't to say that you will never react, but the time you spend reacting and the recovery time thereafter will lessen. Additionally based on your range you can choose how and when to engage in situations. You wouldn't drive...

— It is evident that regular exercise is important for maintaining a healthy body and for reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases, like heart disease and diabetes. Interestingly, the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy mind is also becoming more and more clear. Exercise is now being prescribed by doctors as a part of treatment for a range of mental illnesses, including depress...

— In modern allopathic medicine, we find doctors specializing in only one area of the body or a single aspect of health such as endocrinologists, immunologists, gynecologists, rheumatologists, and so on. Each area of the body is isolated as though they are not connected. When Sandie Gascon first started coaching, her business coach emphasized the importance of finding a niche. Even in the function...

— True healing takes place when all three areas; mind, body, and spirit become healed and integrated. Integration may mean accepting what is; it does not mean all our physical issues will go away or we will no longer have problems to deal with. What happens is that even with these issues and problems, we now respond differently. We have an expanded view of interconnectedness. We want to grow to a...

— Beyond simply meeting one another, most humans have made relationships a central focus of their lives.  We all know that humans are fascinated by relationships. Human relationships are an inspiration for art, music, conversation, novels,  movies, games, and sports, ad infinitum. Our lives are essentially about relationships, whether it be business relationships, political relationships, familial...
