NEW JUNE 15 - JUNE 22, 2002
The Face of God
by Margaret George
The face of God? I’ve seen God. She lives
right down the street. I bake zucchini bread for her when her great
grandchildren are coming by and she’s too tired to get up. Her eyes are
incredibly bright blue and, even now, her long eyelashes can flicker like
those of a young girl who wants so much to be in love. Now, don’t get me
wrong. God can get cranky, especially when her arthritis is acting up, but
mostly I can see the love in her eyes even at some of the worst moments.
And, God lives around the corner, too, in a
wheelchair with an awesome set of biceps. He’s young and he gets around,
sometimes bitching while he’s wheeling, but too proud to give up and let
me push. He wasn’t born that way; it happened five years ago on the
night of the senior prom when God was driving home and didn’t quite make
that sharp curve on Smith Road. God likes to drive fast.

Eat Your Way To Better Health
by Monique N. Gilbert, B.Sc.
Making the right dietary choices can have a
profound impact on our health and longevity. As a society, we have
the largest assortments of foods in the world, both good and bad.
However, this availability can tempt us to eat unhealthy foods.
Fortunately, overcoming these temptations is easier than you think. A few
simple changes in your diet can make the difference between being healthy
and unhealthy. So, you may ask, what kind of diet do researchers recommend
for promoting and maintaining good health?
According to the American Institute of
Cancer Research (AICR), the smartest strategy to promoting good overall
health is to eat a balanced, predominantly plant-based and nutritionally
dense diet. Most of your daily calories should come from vegetables,
fruits, whole grains and beans.

Around the world, increasing numbers of people are turning to yoga as
a means of keeping fit and reducing stress. In this comprehensive and
highly illustrated guide B.K.S. Iyengar, the world's leading teacher of
yoga, shares his unique, holistic approach. For Iyengar, yoga is more than
just a form of exercise; it is a holistic experience that benefits the
body, mind, and spirit. He outlines the philosophy and ideals behind this
ancient practice and explains how yoga can help to counter the stresses of
modern living. Designed for every level of ability, age, and physical
condition, there are detailed instructions for beginner, intermediate, and
advanced students. Clearly illustrated, step-by-step instructions explain
how to perform each yoga asana, or posture, correctly, while a unique
360-degree view of the final pose shows exactly how to position each part
of the body.
A special section
introduces B.K.S. Iyengar's innovative use of props, enabling beginners or
the less flexible to practice the classic yoga asanas more easily and
effectively. A further section illustrates sequences of asanas to treat or
prevent a wide range of ailments. In addition, there is a 20-week yoga
course, personally formulated by B.K.S. Iyengar, which progresses from
simple to more challenging postures. Without a doubt, Yoga: The Iyengar
Way is the definitive guide to the practice of yoga by the master.

"Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's
a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you're
hurt.
"

Morisette
"I find it interesting that the meanest life, the
poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings
become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to
ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility
at commensurate speed."
~ Maya

mistakes it for happiness."

is gaining widespread recognition as a valid therapeutic method, and
Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters, is the

in the present, the theoretical and historical roots of regression
therapy, and when and how to apply regression techniques. Using

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
