We all got going early today. I had a busy day ahead of me at the office. Monica and Marley went to InspireHealth and participated in a 2 hour course on the Mind-Body Connection. I understand that there was a lot of discussion about the effects of stress etc. The clear message (supported by scientific data) was how "the state of our minds, our stress levels, our moods, thoughts, attitudes and beliefs" can affect how our body, and in particular our immune system works. One quote from the handout by Dr. Teresa Clarke summarizes the course - "Learning how to relax, how to balance our lives, how to enjoy loving relationships and how to cultivate a healthy state of mind will help us move along toward better health and vitality and improve our chances of recovery from illness."
Monica and Marley enjoyed the course which was well-attended. They re-connected with a friend who has different type of cancer and who finished her radiation a couple of weeks prior to Monica. She has a blog as well which I found interesting to look at and compare with our blog. Her "style"is different but is quite effective as well.
