		<description><![CDATA[We are currently on the cusp of the old world and a new cultural frontier. The present generation of parents were raised with the old values that led Americans and Canadians to the forefront of modern civilization. But are we currently going backwards as a culture and a civilization? The effect of media on our values is increasing and not for the better.

		<description><![CDATA[At a time when discourse about religion seems polarized between fideistic theism and reductive secularism, Klemm and Schweiker provide an imaginative 'third way,' in the form of a robust theological humanism that draws on and transforms the rich resources of theological and humanistic traditions. Ours is a time when cultures and religions creatively interact but also often collide, and human power increasingly endangers forms of life while great technological advances enable us to better relieve suffering.

The media is supposed to inform and educate the general public yet they seem to control how much and what people know at all times.

		<description><![CDATA[The media is versed at making us feel so inadequate that we start doubting our beliefs and values after a while. This is really detrimental since we already have such a difficult time to think for ourselves and to assert ourselves. So what the media does is to keep eroding our already vulnerable and, in some cases, fragmented self.

		<description><![CDATA[To use Twitter or not, that is the question.  It seems that every time I turn around, someone is mentioning Twitter. People ask me what Twitter is, television shows ask for viewers to send in their Twitter comments, and businesses wonder how Twitter can help their profits. Instead of a short-lived fad, Twitter is becoming an important part of our modern lives. So should you be using Twitter?

		<description><![CDATA[Here in Canada we are a proud people with a wonderful country in so many ways. Yet, we often don't speak about. We certainly don't brag about it. We often celebrate all that it means to be Canadian and be blessed enough to live in the majestic mosiac that is the pulsating heart of all that Canada is and exemplifies. The Vancouver Olympics, unfolding now, and specifically the opening ceremonies, reminded this Canadian just how vibrant and alive my pride in Canada is. Hopefully it has reminded all of us that we have so much to be proud about.

		<description><![CDATA[It is so important to mental health to be in touch with and connected to your feelings. Too many people are not successful in actually feeling what they feel. Why? Because they are too busy trying to escape or distract themselves from what they feel. Not all feelings are painful. But, feelings that are repressed, ignored, not felt or connected to, do become cumbersome, painful, and continue to grow in their negative perception and experience.

		<description><![CDATA[Body Signs is a very important, potentially life saving book about how our bodies send messages through external signals for inform us to become aware of some of the early signs of physical disease. Unlike physical symptoms which tend to involve pain and discomfort and are likely to send an individual running to his/her doctor's office, bodily signals are more likely to result in scurrying off to her hairdresser, nail salon, cosmetic counter or drugstore. Symptoms, on the other hand, come in loud and clear, and they usually involve pain, fever, and bleeding. Bodily signs tend to be more subtle and difficult to interpret. However, many bodily signs can signal more serious things.

		<description><![CDATA[We are often reminded this time of year, and rightfully so, that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." I can think of no better way to celebrate what Jesus gave to us than to renew our appreciation for his most amazing gift, The Lord's Prayer. In the Gospel of Luke, when Jesus is asked by one of his disciples, "Lord, teach us to pray." He responds very specifically, with the Lord's Prayer. He also teaches this prayer as a component of the Sermon on the Mount. Thus we see in scripture that when Jesus teaches us to pray it is always with these words.

		<description><![CDATA[The holidays are a tough time, when demands are constantly being made on our patience, coping capacity, and endurance! When things are not going your way or they look topsy-turvy and you just want to scream; when your day appears chaotic and you are not sure if you are coming or going; or when it feels like it is all piled on your shoulders, then this is the ideal moment to resource yourself by just stopping, being still, and breathing.

		<description><![CDATA[As a Life Coach, BPD Coach and Mental Health Coach, A.J. Mahari talks with clients every day who are in the on-going experience of having their footsteps from the past obstruct their here-and-now in ways that mean unidentified and unreached goals and dreams. Footsteps from the past do not have to continue to obstruct your here-and-now. Mahari knows first-hand that the first step in creating a here-and-now unfolding authenticity in your life journey – to reach your promise and potential and unleash your passion -  is to awaken to the awareness that you are looking back more than you are living now and more than you can look ahead with any confidence.

		<description><![CDATA[Grief is what it is. Grief is a part of life. Grief is a process that unfolds whenever we suffer, experience, or feel loss. Some reasons for grief are obvious – the death of a loved one, loss of a job or relationship, for example. Reasons for grief can be subtle – unfinished emotional baggage from childhood interfering with goal identification and achievement in the here and now, for example. Life Coach, A.J. Mahari outlines 7 keys that help the grief process and 7 keys that hinder the process of grieving.

		<description><![CDATA[Meditation is now the IN thing. Cross-legged yogis and Buddhist monks can be seen in advertisements for everything from computers and credit cards to herbal teas, major newspapers and magazines carry stories on the benefits of meditation with tips from famous film stars, and no self-respecting bookshop is without a how-to-meditate section.

		<description><![CDATA[Loneliness is, on one level a universal experience. There is a collective experience, to some degree, by each and every living individual of what it means, from time to time, to be lonely. The degree to which anyone finds loneliness a painful experience, of course, varies and is related to your level of personal awareness and to the choices that you have made and are making in your own life.
