I’m taking a holistic health and healing class this semester, which has been wonderful. It’s a stress-free class that teaches people to live more mindfully and healthily. I’ve learned such teachings as Reiki and Qi Gong, studied folk and alternative medicine, discussed spirituality, learned methods for stress reduction, and much more!

Today for class, I got to watch a video that really hit home and I would love for you guys to watch it, too. It’s Mark Bittman, the New York Times food writer, talking about food’s connection to the environment, and our health. You may already know a lot of the information he relays, but he discusses it in an interesting way. If you’ve got 20 minutes to spare, check it out: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/mark_bittman_on_what_s_wrong_with_what_we_eat.html . It’s on TED.com which is a wonderful site for finding fascinating lectures on many issues.
