Health and Healing

By Reverend Keith on October 23, 2009

The health and healing section of our website explores a wide variety of health approaches and healing modalities. We are particularly interested in holistic healing approaches that engage the mind, body and spirit for total health. But we also look at various diets and forms of exercise. Raw foods, vegan diets and weight loss are all open for discussion.

As a Reiki master, I am also interested in various energy healing and alternative healing methods.

In the menu bar, you will find our pages on various teachers and practitioners in the Health and healing area. On those pages you will find wonderful healing books, healing programs and health techniques that can dramatically improve your life. Below you find a list of all our health and healing articles.

In Defense of Reiki Healing

By Reverend Keith on February 5, 2010

I don’t do a lot of debating on alternative therapies. I got tired of the “my study is better than your study” sort of discussion. But when I recently discussed my problem with homeopathy, one of the responses challenged me to apply the same logic to Reiki. I’m an Usui Reiki master, although I’m [...]

My Problem with Homeopathy

By Reverend Keith on February 3, 2010

I’m very much into alternative and holistic health and healing. I’m a Reiki master and practice other healing modalities as well. I’m also very much an advocate of nutritional and herbal medicine. However, in spite of having a lot of friends who either practice homeopathy or use homeopathic medicine, I can’t really get on board. [...]

Stay in Bed

By Reverend Keith on January 30, 2010

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth
Another insight from the new book Nurtureshock is that one of the biggest issues with children and teens today is that almost universally, the world [...]

Eat to Live

By Reverend Keith on January 26, 2010

I’ve mentioned Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book Eat To Live in several posts, but I realize I’ve never actually written a full review of it. That situation needs to be fixed, because this is my favorite diet and nutrition book of all time (so far at least). I ran into this book when I was having [...]

Amazing Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse

By Reverend Keith on January 24, 2010

We’ve been trying to stick to a healthier diet for the new year. The other night, my daughter fixed a dessert we’ve been dying to try every since we saw the recipe in Jennifer Cornbleet’s book Raw Food Made Easy. It’s raw vegan chocolate mousse. How can you make a chocolate mousse without cream, butter [...]

The Joy and Benefit of Singing

By Reverend Keith on January 23, 2010

I had another interesting insight listening to a Tony Robbins CD. Robbins was describing a breathing exercise he sets great store by. It consisted of breathing in deeply for a count of seven, then hold it for a count of 28, then exhale for a count of 14. This is done ten times in a [...]

Raw Food Made Easy

By Reverend Keith on January 23, 2010

Raw Food Made Easy – for 1 or 2 People, by Jennifer Cornbleet. I don’t eat a diet that’s 100 percent raw, by any means. But the more I incorporate raw foods into my diet, the better I feel and the healthier I am. I’m not sure I’d ever want to go 100 percent raw, [...]

All The Exercise You Need – In 20 Minutes a Week.

By Reverend Keith on January 21, 2010

As part of my “The Most Important Thing”, series, I’ve been pondering the question of what one physical activity (if you could only do one) would give you the most benefits. Walking seemed like a good candidate. Tai Chi or yoga seemed like possibilities. But on thinking about it, I would probably give the nod [...]

In Defense of Food

By Reverend Keith on January 20, 2010

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan. I first ran into Michael Pollan’s work reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Pollan is a Berkley professor of science and environmental journalism. That book made me a fan. His work is well-researched and absolutely facilitating. In Defense of Food is equally compelling.
After investigating what Americans eat [...]

The Most Important Nutritional Rule

By Reverend Keith on January 12, 2010

In earlier posts, I explored the question – “What one thing can you do that will make the most positive difference in your life”. Out of a host of good suggestions, I suggested that daily self reflection was my personal nomination. Now I’d like to extend this idea and narrow it down a bit. Let’s [...]
