I have a short but sweet flowing water meditation for you this week. Don’t overlook trying this one because it’s so simple.
My experience in life is that simple usually turns out much better than complicated.
Anyway, we start with this wonderfully wise Chinese proverb…
Flowing water never goes bad.
Now, let’s put the proverb to use.
Here’s what you [...]

Sunday afternoon my son Chris put me onto a new group that I’d not heard of before… Old Crow Medicine Show… and, frankly, they’re terrific!
Rather than raving about them with words, let me turn you on to their music.
If this song doesn’t make you want to grab your baby and dance up a storm, then [...]

For this week’s meditation, we turn to a wonderful Zen saying…
No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.
Meditate on this observation during the coming week whenever something feels wrong in your life.
Here’s how to do it.
When something seems awry, breathe deeply, pause for a second, and start centering your focus.
Repeat three times or until you’re [...]

I sent this great relaxation method out to some of my newsletter subscribers earlier today, but I like it so much I thought I’d post it here on the blog, too.
This is one of my favorite techniques for dealing with stress.
I promise after you try it that it’s going to be one of yours, too!
Here [...]
Health & Veganism admin | 09 Feb 2010
On a very regular basis, I hear from ex-vegans whose health has deteriorated from remaining too long on a diet that contains no animal fats or proteins.
My experience since 1993 is that vegan nutrition isn’t all it’s cracked up to be by its proponents.
Here’s the latest email on this important topic of vegan nutrition deficiencies:

Since it’s been pouring down rain all night and most of this wet Friday morning, I thought I’d take a few minutes to share some interesting water facts that baby boomers (and everyone else for that matter) should keep in mind:
Did you know that 75% of Americans, and most of the world population, are chronically [...]
Just a quick note today to say I’m closing down my old Natural Health Circus blog and from this point on will be doing all blogging here at the Aging Boomers hangout.
This isn’t a particularly big deal, I guess, since that blog never did capture much of an audience — which was my fault because [...]

I watched True Romance, one of my favorite movies of all time, last night.
I’m going to write about the movie itself at a later date, but right now I want to share a link to Chris Isaak’s Two Hearts, the song that director Tony Scott chose to accompany the closing credits.
I turned the DVD player [...]
Health & News about Boomers admin | 27 Aug 2009
While goofing off today when I should have been working, I had to smile at the following story, which says at least some bad old baby boomers are still getting high:
Baby Boomers Still Using Illegal Drugs
Some baby boomers are continuing to use illicit drugs as they grow older. The number of 50-somethings who say they [...]
Health & Healthy Recipes admin | 08 Jul 2009
Today I’d like to share a healthy and tasty recipe for a fruit soup that’ll have aging baby boomers chortling with glee.
