Words to Live By    

Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy. ~Nisargadatta 

 

Want to get involved? 

The Center for Integrative Medicine is supported in part by philanthropic donations. We raise money to help cancer patients access massage therapy and acupuncture who may not otherwise be able to afford these services. If you would like to donate, please click here for a list of funds you can contribute to or contact Jordan Mann, Practice Manager, at Jordan.Mann@uch.edu for more information.

Complementary Cancer Support Funding Program

Thanks to generous donations and fund raising efforts, TCFIM is often able to offer some of our CAM therapies at no cost to patients undergoing active cancer treatments.  While our program can only enroll a limited number of patients at one time, we encourage you to apply if you are in active treatment and we will let you know if we have funds available. See the brochure for more information on the program.

Greetings!

Summer offers its advantages of giving us motivation and incentives to live healthier. Your behaviors have adapted in unique ways to the warmer months allowing for good habits to be established. For instance, warm weather brings a greater opportunity to get outside and be active. Or when you eat, you are probably motivated to eat lighter with more fruit and vegetables. This newsletter offers some health tips for beating the summer heat, patient insight on how chiropractic has helped with cerebral palsy, an acupuncturist's insight on tongue diagnosis and mastering the art of positive thinking.

 

If you would no longer like to receive the newsletter, there is an option to unsubscribe at the bottom of the page. Any questions, comments or concerns can be directed to The Center for Integrative Medicine at 720-848-1090.

Sincerely,
The Center for Integrative Medicine

Mindful Living
The art of positive thinking 

 

Psychology tells us that our mind controls our body. So, taking charge of your mind becomes a vital factor in keeping your body healthy. Just like any art, once you build the basic skills and start to flow with it, your creations (thoughts and manifestations) become more and more satisfying.
