HealthQuest Staying Strong by Sara L. Reese,Therman Evans Pdf

Back To Our Roots -- For Good Health The good news for African Americans is that the secrets of getting healthy and staying healthy are rooted in time-honored traditions of our own heritage. Staying Strong: Reclaiming the Wisdom of African-American Healing explains how natural healing techniques, handed down through generations, can be used as a complement to modern medicine to help African Americans live fuller, happier, healthier lives -- to "live wholly." Discover how you can overcome the frustrations of chronic fatigue, depression, illness, or just not feeling well, by applying the principles of Whole Living -- Whole Living is natural -- using herbs, touch, foods, and the power of the mind to achieve good health. Whole Living is spiritual, helping you find the natural African-American spirit that means living life to its fullest. Whole Living combines modern medicine with the healing traditions of the past to provide the rich benefits of both methods. Whole Living looks at the complete person -- not just isolated parts to revitalize you in body, mind, and spirit. Staying Strong also addresses the specific health concerns of African-Americans, providing reliable alternative healing approaches to more than thirty diseases and health problems, as well as safe and effective natural remedies and advice on prevention.

Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask by Mary Siisip Geniusz Pdf

Mary Siisip Geniusz has spent more than thirty years working with, living with, and using the Anishinaabe teachings, recipes, and botanical information she shares in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask. Geniusz gained much of the knowledge she writes about from her years as an oshkaabewis, a traditionally trained apprentice, and as friend to the late Keewaydinoquay, an Anishinaabe medicine woman from the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan and a scholar, teacher, and practitioner in the field of native ethnobotany. Keewaydinoquay published little in her lifetime, yet Geniusz has carried on her legacy by making this body of knowledge accessible to a broader audience. Geniusz teaches the ways she was taught—through stories. Sharing the traditional stories she learned at Keewaydinoquay’s side as well as stories from other American Indian traditions and her own experiences, Geniusz brings the plants to life with narratives that explain their uses, meaning, and history. Stories such as “Naanabozho and the Squeaky-Voice Plant” place the plants in cultural context and illustrate the belief in plants as cognizant beings. Covering a wide range of plants, from conifers to cattails to medicinal uses of yarrow, mullein, and dandelion, she explains how we can work with those beings to create food, simple medicines, and practical botanical tools. Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask makes this botanical information useful to native and nonnative healers and educators and places it in the context of the Anishinaabe culture that developed the knowledge and practice.

While the mode varies, the greater number of compositions compiled here are biographies of ordinary and extraordinary African Americans. Culturally affriming, introspective and expansive, We're Not Going to Take it Anymore is a rarely seen educational innovation.

Swimming Out Of Water by Catherine Garceau Pdf

Most people who knew Catherine Garceau during the early years of this century were struck by just how much she had going for her. The tall blonde with a body to kill for had won a Bronze medal at the 2000 Olympic Games as part of Canada’s synchronized swimming team. But no one knew that Catherine, having lost her main outlet for her obsession with perfection, was floundering in her post-Olympic life. Performing in Las Vegas and building a career in business and marketing weren't fulfilling. In fact, part of her felt she was losing it all: her athletic body, her high-achieving mind and most humiliating, her image of excellence. Now, in Swimming Out of Water, Garceau goes beneath the surface of her life. From the lens of a life-changing experience she had while hiking in the Red Rock National Park outside Las Vegas. Stuck on a cliff, alone, for twenty-four hours, she flashes back to moments of fear, failure, loss, triumph, and breakthrough, which all decorated her journey with valuable lessons. Written in the journal she took with her that day, Garceau realizes and reveals the negative effects of sugar and many chemicals found in our food and environments, including the chlorine she had bathed in for so many years. Alas, with no one coming to her rescue, how did she get herself up from the ledge? How has her dream of a chlorine free swimming evolved? And how has she turned the stubborn eating disorders she faced into programs to help free other women from emotional eating? Birthed from the edge of the Red Rocks and brought to completion in her continued years of integration, education and healing, Swimming Out of Water's raw nature takes on the transparent quality of water, the very element Garceau is here to both defend and embody. Spend this day on the rocks with her...and discover the grace of swimming out of water.
