Meta-Physician On Call: Is Revenge “Bad Karma”? by Dr. Steven E. Hodes
 Those of us who believe that karma serves to balance all actions can allow this force to act for our benefit as well. We do not have to do anything. Rather than react with vengeance and likely accrue our own ‘bad karma’, just accept the truth that justice will prevail. Ultimately, our own healing is best served through remembering who we are--spiritual beings having a human experience. This requires us to face emotionally painful situations and respond to them with this powerful awareness to the best of our abilities.

Conscious Eating
The Healthiest Possible Diet- For You and For the Rest of Us by Brian Sanderoff, P.D.
 In the past, my stock answer to this sticky question has been, “it depends”. There are many factors that would determine which is right for an individual… genetics, metabolism, blood type, ethnic background, health, personal preferences, etc. If I saw five patients in one day that all asked me that very same question, the conclusion drawn would have been that there is a different answer for each one of them.

Healing Through Trees; How Mass Tree Planting Is Reversing The Effects Of Climate Change In Tamil Nadu by Clare Dakin
 In 2005, just after the tsunami that swept away so many lives and livelihoods, a group of volunteers from The Isha Foundation were starting the job of rehabilitating the devastated coast of Tamil Nadu, Southern India. They noticed that coastal villages that were forested suffered significantly less damage than those that were not, and an idea arose. Could trees be a tool to reconnect people to their hearts, to their grief and to their land?

Meta-Physician On Call: A Panic Attack of the Gut By Dr. Steven E. Hodes
A noted gastroenterologist and Mind/Body/Spirit Medicine specialist discusses why we must listen to our guts.
A traditional diagram of the gastrointestinal tract usually reveals the organs -- esophagus, stomach, small bowel and colon – but what is often left out are the nerve bundles or plexus (the centralized collection of neurons that are smaller yet analogous to the Hindu notion of chakras) and the enteric nervous system. These are the ‘brain in the gut’.
