For generations, every male on my father's side of my family suffered from a similar fate: a premature heart attack that cut their life short decades too early. I knew I couldn't change my genes, but I was determined to find a way to lead a normal, healthy life span...

Formulas are fine for solving math problems or for figuring out the stress factors in steel beams, but they don't help very much when it comes to healing and prayer. In most cases, you would do better to follow a creative amalgam of common sense, intuition, and balance.

Aloe Vera called Nature's Miracle has been associated with myth, magic, and medicine since pre-biblical times. All over the world today, Aloe Vera is a common household plant. It is one of the most talked about, yet most misunderstood plants in history.

We all are miracle workers. We each have the ability to change our lives with nothing more than a thought filled with love. When we believe in miracles, we then create them. Miracles are not once-in-a-lifetime supernatural events; rather, miracles are at the root of everyday occurrences. We live in a world filled with miracles, and yet we take them for granted. Why do we, as adults, forget to see the miracles of our world?

In many places in the world when a person is ill, a song is sung to heal. The notion of singing a person to wellness and health may sound strange. You may think it irresponsible of me, a trained physician, even to mention it. But I am not talking about a New Age or alternative treatment. I am speaking of the medicine ways of my tribe...

I dreaded turning fifty. My father had died of a massive heart attack soon after his fiftieth birthday. For years, I assumed the same thing would happen to me. Instead, I've been pleasantly surprised... The years since I turned fifty have been ripe with rich, unexpected developments and expansive opportunities.

Even in the city, it is possible to maintain a connection to the cycles of the seasons and the rhythms of nature. It's increasingly recognized that regular contact of this kind is an important component in establishing and maintaining the kind of inner balance and peace that promotes happiness.

When I calmed my mind enough to listen to God's Voice within me, I realized I hadn't done anything wrong. The cancer was part of the unfoldment of the part I had to play... Through prayer and meditation, it came to me that breast cancer was an opportunity for growth, just like any other challenge I'd confronted in my life.

In ancient Greece, there were temples with rooms to which sick people could retreat. This was a time of quiet introspection, based on the understanding that illness is a sacred space where inner work can be done, so that healing may come from the core of our being. This means that the goal of healing is peace of mind, and whether the body is ''fixed '' or not is irrelevant.

As I stood in the bathroom one morning, my mother?s voice told me rather rudely to "check my breast." I always did what my mother told me, even if she had gone to God over ten years before. I wasn?t about to argue with anyone that had the power to reach down to me from so far away. She was right. I listened and I am alive.

In May, 1997, I placed a specially designed and empowered Reiki Grid -- the World Peace Crystal Grid -- at the North Pole. It was created with the intent of promoting world peace by becoming a planetary beacon charged with healing energies sent by people from all over the world. In December 1999, the World Peace Crystal Grid project was brought to completion when I placed a companion WPCG grid at the South Pole!

Healing can include dramatic, sudden physical cures, but is not confined to the 'miraculous' or the spectacular. Perhaps for most people, the healing power of faith involves a healing of the mind and emotions, the intangible spirit, and of relationships with others. Faith can put physical illness beneath us, where it belongs, return dominion to us, and give us power to live victorious and fulfilling lives.
