Healthy Holidays!
December 2011
| |
Greetings!
Over the last week, I've spent a lot of time pondering a thought I heard on my most recent weekend meditation retreat. In responding to a student's complaints, the teacher said, "It takes a lot of courage to truly accept that things are good". Of course this is not as easily applicable when major life challenges occur such as the loss of a loved one, major health issues, etc., but as I considered the concept, I was reminded of a quote by Marianne Williamson that states, "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Many times, I see patients that come to us with a chronic, often very painful condition. We spend visit after visit, moving toward wellness as symptoms improve and ultimately go away. Often times, patients seem unable to accept that they are well. They insist on finding a new problem and seem disappointed when their spine has stabilized. I think it is important for us to realize that even negative patterns can become a habit. I believe that somehow as Marriane Williamson states we are more comfortable with distress and that it in fact DOES take courage to open our hearts, connect with others and rejoice in feeling good. This Holiday Season, it might be a welcome change to fight our compulsion to stress and suffer, by simply saying to ourselves "things are good" thereby giving ourselves permission to ENJOY all of the goodness in our lives. On behalf of the entire InnerMovement Wellness Team, we wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!!!
Until our next adjustment.... Yours in health, Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team |

Holiday Cookies made healthy!  Baking Holiday cookies is a tradition in many families so why not share this nutritious and delicious recipe with your family and friends!
Oatmeal is low in calories and fat, high in fiber and protein and is a source of antioxidants and lignans. And Cranberries are full of antioxidants too! Flax Seeds are a powerhouse of Omega 3's and lignans and high in fiber!
Oatmeal Cranberry Flaxseed Cookies 1/2 cup butter, melted & cooled 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds* 2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats (not instant oatmeal) 1 cup dried cranberries *grind whole flaxseeds in a clean coffee grinder
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract and ground flaxseeds until mixture is smooth. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Pour in wet ingredients and stir until almost combined, then add in the oats and dried cranberries and stir until the dough comes together with no streaks of flour remaining. 4. Drop 1-inch balls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving a little room for the cookies to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set. The tops of the cookies should have very minimal browning, and the bottoms should be only light brown. 5. Cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. 6. Makes about 2 1/2-3 dozen. |

"Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the "good life" we think other lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts."

Patient Success Story!
by Susan M.
"When I was embarking on the detox program I was really scared. It can be intimidating with the limitations on what you can eat. I loved it though. It gave me the opportunity to really find other great and healthy foods to eat. It also made my body feel great. A lot of the pain that I often feel went away. It is a great program that helps you maintain your health the rest of the year."
