Full Circle Wellness

In 1998 I helped create a group that would exploring the idea of wellness before wellness was called wellness. After discussing our collective intention we discussed names for our group and came up with a good one— I see that now. I wrote the following poem in honor of our journey.

But physiological symptoms appear because of the field disturbance. If we correct the disturbance in the field, the symptoms disappear and we have been healed. If we treat the symptoms directly, then when a stressful situation once more aggravates the incoherent energy that is the source of the problem, the disease condition returns.””
