Hey, I’m Dr. Diane! W
elcome to the Fall issue of Essential Naples – a quarterly lifestyle publication in Southwest Florida for health-minded locals who
“Our mission and intent is to support
each reader’s wish to make a difference
4
in their lives. Together, we can make a difference in the local
community.” - Dr. Diane Hayden
desire credible information on wholistic health and well-being trends. We launched our first issue this summer, however, if this is the first time you’re picking us up, you’ll find our coverage is 100% local with expert content that interests both Naples residents and professional wholistic practi- tioners. Essential Naples focuses on four essential lifestyle pillars – Health, Relationships, Finance and Purpose. In each issue, you’ll find articles on wide-ranging topics from local experts in each of these areas who have dug up infinite nuggets of wisdom to share with all of us. Please connect with them as they make this complimentary magazine possible. I hope Essential Naples will become a regular must-read for you! My perspective for this letter is a little different than most publishers. In- stead of reviewing what you’ll find in the current issue, I like to provide an inspirational and thought-provoking piece. My passion is to open your mind to new ideas, new belief systems and shift your perspective to a healthier and happier way of living. I’m someone who always sees the positive in any situation and I hope to show you ways to do so as well. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find in my future letters!
I believe recognizing an issue is the first step toward solving it. But how do we recognize something like the power of negative thoughts if we are unaware of them in the first place? Does it take a life altering event? Is it something we learn with age? Maybe we are exposed to a book or movie that introduces the concept? I will never forget the first time my eyes were opened to the concept of our thoughts creating our reality. I was meeting a potential advertiser for my magazine in Connecticut, she was the direc- tor of an energy medicine school. She said to me, in a whisper, “You see Diane, at this school we believe that we are all spir- its having a human experience.” I almost fell off my chair. What the heck was she talking about?? Yet, there was a part of me for which that statement resonated so clear- ly and profoundly, I knew it to be true at the very core of my being. And so began my journey into studying transformational psychology, spirituality, mysticism, and the understanding that we are so much more powerful than we know, that we are spirit having a human experience and that we do, indeed, have the power to change our reality through thought.
Wishing you health and happiness
