Next CHI FOR YOURSELF: Secular Meditation- Intentionally Nonreligious
You deserve to experience meditation’s rewarding effects on the body and the mind, even if you’re not interested in religion! Some in our CHI FOR YOURSELF community have said they question meditation because of its religious trappings. But our scheduled guest on the next edition of CHI FOR YOURSELF says meditation actually is an age-old secular practice with lots of scientifically verified physical and psychological benefits. Rick Heller is an author, meditation teacher and co-founder of the Humanist Mindfulness Group at the Harvard Humanist Community. He emphasizes the importance of meditation with a practical, evidence-based perspective.
Rick Heller is the author of Secular Meditation: 32 Practices for Cultivating Inner Peace, Compassion, and Joy.
Be with us on the call this Thursday November 19th at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific time at chiforyourself.com. for Rick Heller and Secular Meditation.
Be Well!

When Good Prayers Go Bad
On the heels of the US visit by Pope Francis Chi For Yourself looks into the power of prayer. When she talked to us in 2012 August Gold reminded us that since the beginning of time men and women everywhere have prayed — millions of prayers daily and yet only a handful of those prayers are answered. August suggests that prayer is something that everyone wants to do but a lot of people have confusion or concern about because they think they don’t know how or that they’re praying incorrectly. August Gold is the co-author (with Joel Fotinos) of The Prayer Chest.
Looking Forward to Some New Old-Fashioned Healing!

On last week’s CHI FOR YOURSELF we took on the issue of weight loss with out guests, Joy and Roy Martina, co-authors of Sleep Your Fat Away. I like that they stay away from the traditional methods of losing the pounds- things like diets and possibly dangerous pills.
Here’s a look at some of the talking points from that show:
- Weight issues in their earlier lives
- How their system works with natural sleep cycles
- Comparing sleep programming with hypnosis
- The virtual gastric band
- Why is weight hard to take off and then keep off?
- Intelligence as a whole-body system
- Diet “truisms”- true or false?
- Some practical tips on keeping pounds off
