To have a positive scope in life I believe that there has to be balance in mind, body and spirit.

Life as a drug addict can be cruel and uncertain . With harmful chemical abuse, the body reacts in an adverse manner to many situations. Amnesia is a tragic result of substance abuse that many drug addicts have faced.

Through the drug rehabilitation, program at Mountainside many drug addicts are given new hope in life. Yoga is used as a tool to connect mind,body and spirit beneficially.

Drug addicts reject themselves and sadly many times are rejected by their families. They experience amnesia due to a build up of negative emotions and focus patterns that cause an imbalance in their whole being.

My father was and continues to be a drug addict and I personally know what drug abuse has caused in his life.

If there were more facilities like Mountainside that focus on connecting mind body and sprit then I know he would have changed.

To address a drug addict there has to be trust on both sides, and that it was the drug treatment program at Mountainside continues to do.

Residents are exposed to directional therapy that aim to foster motivational change. Only though motivation does a drug addict see the importance of making a change.

There are not many affordable drug rehab centers like Mountainside and with recession 'the topic of the day in 2009', amnesia is bound to be a problem during the course of the year.

Hi, Gary.

Great thoughts. I agree that brain training can be addictive. I hear that a lot from customers.

I run a company that publishes brain fitness software. Our primary product uses a training protocol that demands attention (i.e., you can't do it on auto-pilot) and requires dedicated effort (30 minutes per day) over a period of around 20 days. The result is an increase in fluid intelligence (raw problem-solving ability) of more than 40%. I'm elaborating partly to reemphasize your points, and partly to let people know that such software exists.

The training protocol we use was designed Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl's for their study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008). I was so impressed by their work that I contacted them and turned it into a commercial software program.

Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast

You have taken an article written by my client, Elma Mayer, MA for use in your blog.

However, you have not taken the article as it was written and this looks garbled, bad grammar, and punctuation.

In addition, you MUST print her author information from the author block in order to use this without going against her copyright.

Could you please correct the article, add her complete author information, and make the link redirecting people to where you found the article live?

We appreciate that you like this so much that you would use it in your blog, but we need to make sure the integrity of the article remains intact.

I will check your blog by 12:00p.m. Mountain (noon) to make sure this changes have been made.

Thank you!

These are wonderful ideas and really provides a lot of thought. In my new book, I devote a chapter to stress and the mind, body & spirit connection. I give a few examples of "stress at work". I thought your readers might enjoy them. Your doctor realizes that stress is a killer. A noxious work environment—at best—will leave you feeling rundown and anxiety-ridden. However, a negative work atmosphere can cause so much stress that you get sick. I don’t mean the mild forms of sick, such as a stomach bug or head cold. I mean real sick. Here are a few simple but real-life examples of what I mean:

• Your passive-aggressive coworker can hand you stress that will give you the gift of high blood pressure, abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia), blood clotting issues, and atherosclerosis. Stress also triggers coronary artery disease and heart attacks. Your death will only please the coworker and the funeral home. Well, at least, you’ll be going to your grave knowing that someone will be getting pleasure out of your early death.

• People who have jerks for bosses tend to have various muscle pains caused by stress-induced tension. A disgruntled boss can even lead to rheumatoid arthritis. That’s okay. Your children will understand that your back spasms prevent you from playing catch. The boss certainly trumps the kids. Am I correct? When did the kids ever give you a paycheck?

• The self-important, know-it-all down the hallway can deliver stress to your cubicle that plays a role in gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. You always thought he made you sick. Now you know.

• An overloaded work schedule can result in painful menstrual periods, decreased fertility, and erection problems. The $40 a week that you make in forced overtime is worth every penny of your non-functional reproductive system. Besides, who has time for a love life? Your life is rich enough. With any luck, you’ll receive the three percent annual increase.

• A mind-numbing, repetitive, meaningless job with no chance for advancement will generate stress that can worsen your asthma and COPD. Oh well, your job is certainly worth a portion of your oxygen. Blue lips are not that bad. They’ve been selling lipstick for years. At least it’s better than starting a new job. Now that’s scary.

• The boss who won’t listen to your ideas can give you acne and psoriasis. He’s probably too important and busy to hear your suggestions. Besides, what’s a little chronic skin condition characterized by inflamed, red, raised areas that develop silvery scales compared to the important stuff he has to deal with?

• The insulting, backstabbing department head can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to colds and minor infections as well as major diseases. Actually saying something to this department head might make him mad so you can put up with a few major diseases.

• Your incompetent partner, who also happens to be the boss’s nephew, can shovel enough stress your way to give you headaches and even panic attacks. Rather than confront the obvious, you’d rather take aspirin and run your car into the occasional telephone pole.

• The “fight or flight” response elicited by the promotion of the twenty-three-year-old recent college graduate—your new boss—has raised your blood glucose levels, making it harder to control your diabetes. I hope that this unjust promotion will not cost you your foot or leg. If it does, your new twenty-three-year-old boss will probably send his secretary over with a condolence card. He’s thoughtful like that.

• The coworker who continually steals your cost-savings ideas and always refuses to share credit can provide enough stress to give you a good case of insomnia and/or depression. You had a good idea on how to rig up a hose to your car exhaust, but he’d probably steal that, too. Standing up to him might cause you social embarrassment. Carbon monoxide may be the easier route.
