Dance With Horses and Feel
Good!
by Arla Christensen
Dance With Horses is a fun and unique program that is good
for people of all ages, especially children. The program is
based on the concept that humans receive emotional benefits
from horses and horses receive emotional benefits from humans.
However, the unique twist to this program is that the individual
has a relationship with the horse without riding it. From
our many experiences with the program we have discovered that
its benefits to humans are many: it increases self-esteem,
patience, confidence, creative thinking, and problem solving
skills, and at the same time it educates humans about horses.

Nutty About Nuts!
by Paulette Millis
Did you know nuts are brain food? Why? Because the brain
is 60% fat and nuts are an excellent source of essential polyunsaturated
omega 3 and omega 6. Many of us have essential fatty acid
deficiency, leading to countless health problems, due to lack
of good fats in the diet. Raw nuts are the answer! Contrary
to popular opinion, good quality raw nuts, eaten daily, will
NOT lead to overweight!

Feeling Good in One Space &
Unsettled in Another?
Check the Energy Flow With Feng Shui
by Katherine Czerlau-Lima
Feng Shui (pronounced "fung shway"), which translates
into "wind and water," dates back 3000 years to
China. It is the art of arranging your surroundings in order
to create greater harmony in your life. The energy we create,
through placement and intention, determines how our environment
affects us. Though we cannot see energy we certainly can feel
its effects. Have you ever been to visit someone and could
not wait to leave their home? Perhaps it had a cold feeling
that made you uncomfortable. Then, as soon as you were out
the door, you breathed a sigh of relief. Or perhaps you’ve
been in someone’s home that uplifted you and you felt
very relaxed and at home. In fact, your hosts had to kick
you out! These are good examples of the workings and wonders
of Feng Shui.

Answering the Cosmic "CALL"
Takes a Leap of Faith
by Jan Henrikson
I’ve always been curious about "THE CALL"
that others have experienced in their lives – the one
that seems to disclose complete directions as to where the
recipient needs to go in life and exactly what they need to
do to get there. What was it like? When did it come? How did
they know it was THE call? Would it ever happen to me? Oh,
the patience I’ve practiced, and the trust I’ve
cultivated, surrendering to the life I do have and trusting
that everything is in divine order JUST AS IT IS, even without
having received "THE CALL" myself.

Natural Reflections
True Success Nurtures Our Soul, Our Culture, and Our Evolution
by Maureen Latta
Our society stresses successful achievement, even if it is
to the detriment of our physical or mental health, the quality
of our family life, and the health of our environment. Many
of us, at some point in life, stop and ask ourselves, "What
is success?" The answer might be that the definition
of success to which we have been adhering is imposed on us
from a society that values material production. Success is
a high salary, a nice house, a conspicuous accumulation of
goods, and regular holidays to sunny climates where we expect
to be shielded from the poverty of the local inhabitants.
Inevitably there comes the realization that this definition
of success is not enough to satisfy the soul, or to assuage
the guilt of increasing environmental destruction and extreme
poverty among the majority of the world’s citizens.

Editorial
by Melva Armstrong
Many local, national, and world events these days seem to
be keeping the world population scared out of their wits.
Mad Cow (BSE), SARS, West Nile virus, mass electrical blackouts,
wars, bombings, hijacked planes, serial killings, falling
stock markets, and terrorist attacks are just some of the
many things that our mainstream media keeps pumping out, sometimes
ad nauseum. No wonder people are full of fear with news like
this continuously blasting their eardrums and horrific images
flashing before their eyes. What hope can people have for
the future when the world is painted so negatively?
