Misty Work
by Dr. Saira Sabzaali
She walks holding
The hands of the clouds
And her misty work
Removes the veils
Between us and ourselves
She brings peace to a
Troubled mind
Ease to an aching heart
Joy to a tired body
And reminds us to
Breathe, laugh, eat, play
Hold our loved ones
Find our smiles again.
There is an intimate link between one’s mind, one’s emotional landscape, and the body.
How we feel about ourselves directly influences our inner dialogue, our behaviours in the areas
of eating and exercise, and even our relationship with the people in our lives.
We will address areas such as:
- Strategies to reduce negative self-talk about the body
- Emotional and psychological impacts of weight gain and weight loss
- Stress-eating
- Distorted body image
- Yo-yo dieting
- Beliefs about the body, including the aging process
- Disordered eating and exercising
- How body image impacts other areas of life
- Intergenerational implications
- A balanced life
- Other areas relating to the mind-body connection

Choosing Life's Buffet

Over the years, Life often limits our choices, and we somtime find ourselves settling for
less than we want, need, or deserve. In the past few years, there has been a shifting in our
global awareness, where we are starting to realize that there is enough, more than enough for
all to be fulfilled, and that the more we allow the cycle of giving and receiving, the more all
will benefit. Join us as we explore the joys of "having it all", without
compromise or suffering, where all players benefit. Come feast on all that Life if offering
us!
