| Dear Michael,
December can be a busy month for people--holiday shopping and gatherings intensify as we approach the New Year. And, while most of us enjoy the celebrations and festivities, this can also be a stressful time.
This is when it is particularly useful to consider nurturing your own emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Rather than put them off until the new year, I would suggest you think of something you can do now that will help you stay balanced during this period. Here are a few ideas.
Stay well, and take care,
Michael |

| The Skillful Living Room! Radio Show!
Saturday, December 5th's Show: Swine Flu!
Special Guest: Dr. Stephen Cowan
12-1PM EST
The Skillful Living Room, is a nationally syndicated healthy living discussion that will feature patient success stories, physical and mental health tips, nutrition, fitness and wellness advice, a call-in portion, and expert advice from Dr. Finkelstein. Commentary will also be provided by colleagues and friends whom he has met in his own personal journey.
This program offers new ways of looking at our health and, with that, an entirely different perspective on issues such as common medical conditions and their underlying causes, alternative therapies and their appropriate usage, and contemporary topics, such as healthcare policy and the conventional and often controversial recommendations coming from the medical establishment itself.
This is not a program that is intended to point fingers; rather its purpose is to raise awareness of other possibilities and to generate an intelligent discussion around that.
Similarly, this is not a program that prescribes "take this or that" to treat illness. There is no quick fix. Instead, this program offers a more open-minded and practical approach to living that can result in greater health for each of us and, ultimately, a healthier society. This week's broadcast can be heard streaming live at 12 Noon, Saturday, December 5th, on The Business TalkRadio Network ( www.businesstalkradio.net) and The Lifestyle TalkRadio Network ( www.lifestyletalkradio.net). Friend and colleague, Dr. Stephen Cowan will join me to discuss some of the issues that are raised when we contemplate Swine Flu, and consider the various options for prevention and treatment. In particular, we will emphasize a practical, rationale and Skillful approach to dealing with infections, in general.

Thursday December 17th, 7:30PM
Carlos Castaneda became an iconic figure in the 1960's through the influence of don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian Shaman, who crossed his path quite unexpectedly.
This book, in particular, published exactly 40 years ago, inspired a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview of the time.
Please join us, as we consider its relevance in our world today.
