Cherish The NOW!
“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
And so 2022 begins. It’s such a powerful time of year, isn’t it? A time of beginnings, endings, closing and opening. We stand at the precipice of possibility - feeling empowered and revitalized - as we begin, again.
Many of us are thinking about resolutions and taking stock at this time. But how many of our usual resolutions are just ‘self’ improvement projects (trying to get more, be more or have more), rather than ways to embrace the life we already have, here and now?
Of course, there is nothing wrong with planning enhancement or improvement. Do consider though, a life well-lived is not about getting stuff, doing stuff and having stuff. It’s about being true to who we are and living our moments and our daily life...fully. If we’re always trying to get somewhere else, what happens to the moment we’re actually living now? To live a truly full life we need to be here for it. Live present. Live happy.
Thank you so much for being present in the Healer Within Community as we begin a new year. We are so grateful for you. We wish you a happy 2022 filled with the gifts of peace, presence and good health.
Be well,
Your friends at the Healer Within Foundation

January 29th Cloud Gathering
 Our first Gathering on the Cloud of the new year will feature HWF President, Kory Ward-Cook, Ph.D. (pictured left), presenting, Mindful Medicine: An Integrative Approach for Healthy Aging.
This 5th Saturday Gathering will provide an overview of the science, the practice, and the value of integrating mindfulness into our daily lives to achieve a happy, healthy life. We will discuss how tuning into our natural circadian rhythms, body alignment and breath, will improve our sleep and lead to less inflammation and ultimately less chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease as well as many other conditions, particularly those associated with aging.
Kory's presentation will also include how to apply mindfulness to our eating, exercise, and being with others - as well as ourselves - to improve health and well being. A brief overview of the growing success of integrative medicine and healthcare to achieve faster more comfortable healing, as well as promote healthy aging will also be included.
