h, February. That means Valentine’s Day. It’s also a month Natural Awakenings Magazine devotes to relationships. We’ll also cover getting sleep,
and the mind-body connection, among other things. Our newsbrief section will introduce you to sev-
eral new faces and a bunch of don’t-miss happenings around Houston, with Community Acupuncture to the Dali Lama, from Reflexology to Valentine’s, and the Yoga of Love to our own home-grown Texas Yoga Conference in Houston discussed. In Wabi Sabi Love, Embracing Imperfections in Relationships, bestselling
author, Arielle Ford explores changing one’s perspective by “appreciating the quirks and imperfections in our self and our partner” for a stronger, more mean- ingful relationship. Lisa Shumate writes about resolving conflict to benefit mind and body in How Can We All Get Along? Renowned expert on the mind-body connection, Joan Borysenko, discusses
The Benefits of Burnout in our wisewords section. Benefits to burnout? Who knew? Rather than mind over matter, Priscilla Goudreau-Santos talks about using
Exercise to Beat the Blues and how the body can lead the mind. Speaking of body and mind, Sharon Kapp of Houston Yoga & Ayurvedic Well-
ness Center gives some interesting pointers on how to lose weight and get more sleep in her article, As Easy as 1, 2, 3 . . . Get Healthy - With Ayurveda and Yoga. Judith Fertig, in Improve Your Snooze: Sleep Aids versus Sleep Sappers also deals with getting more sleep. And naturopath, Sally Shultis, in Insomnia, Relationships and the Heart: Getting to the Root of Insomnia, tackles the fascinating connec- tions between relationships, the heart, and lack of sleep. She highlights several essential oils as helps to sounder sleep. Other than sleep, another way to get more energy may be to eat Asian winter- melon. Claire Smith cites the benefits of eating wintermelons and gives you some recipes to try. Zbigniew “Tony” Chmielewski, M.D., AFAARM, in Keeping the Brain Healthy, discusses the use of bio-identical hormones and supplements as ammunition against aging. Lisa Marshall takes a slightly different approach to aging in A Brain- Building Blueprint: How to Keep the Mind Young and Memory Sharp. On the other end of the age spectrum, in How A Brain Grows: Five Ways to
Aid Development, a healthykids selection, Lisa Marshall discusses how you can help your child get a leg up on the developmental tree. Be sure to meet Cindy Eagleton, Cht, of Practical Hypnosis, in Barbara Lynn
Silberg’s The Awakening Community. And please check out our new website,
www.naturalawakenings-
houston.com. It’s another way to keep in touch with the community plus keep up with the latest trends in health, fitness, personal growth, green living, and creative expression. We’ll have articles there that we can’t squeeze into our jam-packed paper edition, so check it out. So, cold outside? Stay inside for a bit. Grab a cup of coffee, cocoa or tea to
rehydrate—the heater dries the air, your skin, and your sinuses, so drink up—, prop your feet up, and relax. And when you’re comfortable, read this month’s Nat- ural Awakenings Magazine. You’ll be glad you did.
