As a middle-aged woman who is concerned about such health issues as cholesterol and menopause, just to name two, I am on the lookout for ways to integrate my spiritual beliefs with my health practices. Although I don't need scientific studies myself, I am glad to see that research is being conducted on prayer as it relates to one’s health. From meditation to dietary restrictions, we have options. And this weekend we can learn more about healthy living, both physical and spiritual, at the "Health and Healing Fair" at St. George's Episcopal Church. Be well.
