A Time for Healing

Beginning  Thursday, January 06, 2005, I will begin teaching weekly classes lasting 90 minutes each. The classes are interactive and highly participatory. Activities will include: Brief lessons in Health & Wellness, Practice in Relaxation & Meditation, Gentle stretching and Yoga, Group discussions of lessons and techniques, Individual instruction and demonstrations, Guidance for home practice, and Questions and answers. Further, you can be developing and strengthening your adaptive living skills with 30 minutes of daily practice at home or work. All sessions are open to the public and you can simply drop in as time and interest permit. However, those who participate regularly and practice daily can expect to gain control of: Calmness and Mindfulness, Stress and Disease, Hostility including Anger & Fear, Your Dual Mind & the Dual World it creates, Depression & Anxiety, and The Relationship between Yourself & Others. The program is challenging and fun. Dr. Wilken will create a comfortable and supportive environment for learning. With time and practice you will become a master of adaptive living. You will then find that calmness, mindfulness, and intelligent behavior become an automatic part of your life. And, as a master your need for daily practice will diminish.

Achieving Health and Wellness through Adaptive Living

Health exists when your adaptability is greater than the sum of stressors acting on your mind and body. Disease results whenever the stressors in your life exceed the ability of your mind and body to adapt. Wellness is that powerful state of mind and body that exists when your adaptability consistently exceeds the sum of stressors in your life.

* Brief lessons in Health & Wellness
