NEW JUNE 8 - JUNE 15, 2002
Miscarriage And Self Blame
by Ellen DuBois
Who could I blame for this? Did I do
something wrong? Did that glass of wine I had before I even knew I was
pregnant somehow hurt my baby? Did that slip on the ice have anything to
do with it? What about the cigarettes I smoked? Or, or, or…
It's a very natural thing to blame yourself
when you suffer a miscarriage. I did. I wracked my brain in a futile
attempt to come up with some answers. Anything. Nothing the doctor said
could convince me that there wasn't something I did to make this happen.

current crisis in the Middle East have caused many of us to search for
peace. How do we create world peace?
Gandhi said, “be the change you wish to
see.” Many of us are learning that in order to create world peace,
we have to BE peace. So then, the question becomes, how do we as
individuals truly BE peaceful?

Aging Well: Surprising Guideposts to
a Happier Life from the Landmark Harvard Study of Adult Development
by George E. Vaillant, M.D.
Having entered the new millennium we are
bombarded with contradictory information about what it means to grow old.
News reports of people living longer than ever are juxtaposed to horror
stories of life in nursing homes and elders wishing for death. Inspiring
anecdotes of energetic 85-year-old marathon runners or CEOs or composers
who seem as young as ever are followed on the nightly news by stories on
the barrenness of life in gated retirement communities filled with
decrepit old people who feel superfluous. Will the longevity granted to us
by modern medicine be a curse or a blessing? How can we control our last
years? These are the questions for which we need answers.

Coincidences happen every day, to people of all ages, in every corner
of the world. Are they events that coincide by pure accident and only seem
to have a connection, or are they part of a larger, intentional pattern?
Veteran television executive Squire Rushnell suggests that these
occurrences are the work of a Supreme Being, signposts to help people
successfully navigate through life. Understanding why coincidences exist
and knowing how to interpret them are the underlying themes of these true
stories from history, sports, medicine, and the lives of both everyday
people and celebrities. Rushnell casts doubt on the notion of arbitrary
occurrences, building a case for purpose-filled lives. ~Amazon.com

| Hypnotic regression therapy
is gaining widespread recognition as a valid therapeutic method, and
Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters, is the
nation's foremost expert in the field... With Weiss, we learn to
identify the childhood and past-life patterns still causing symptoms
in the present, the theoretical and historical roots of regression
therapy, and when and how to apply regression techniques. Using
experiential techniques, including hypnotic regression exercises,
healing visualizations, meditation, and intuitional and right-brain
training, we harness the power to transform our lives. Weiss also
demonstrates hypnotic regression in a series of sessions with
volunteers from the group. 9AM-5PM. $165. For more information
