"Any form will do, whether it is square dancing, ballroom dancing, freestyle, or line dancing. All have one common factor: movement with music. Dancing is also a great way to get over inhibitions and become more comfortable with our bodies. dancing gives us permission to use the pelvis, which many of us may feel is a socially taboo activity. The pelvic region is a major center of energy in the body. By rotating this area (remember how Elvis did it?), we move the entire body. Have you ever been listening to the radio and found yourself swaying to a favorite song? Next time, get up and dance!" - Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra, Optimum Health - A Cardiologist's Prescription for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Tiefler went on to compare sex with dancing to make her point that not everything has a medical cause: If you break an ankle while you're dancing you go to a doctor. But your doctor does not take a dance history and would not advise you whether your dancing is normal. The medical model is about defining what's healthy and what's sick - but sex is not like that.16 Healthcare consumerism broadens the boundaries, however. And while Pfizer's trials failed, much development has been stimulated by this large and apparently unmet need." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"Famous for its taste and health benefits, maitake is also known as the "dancing mushroom."1 Legend holds that those who found the rare mushroom began dancing with joy. Others attribute its name to the way the fruit bodies of the mushroom overlap each other, giving the appearance of dancing butterflies. Maitake is extremely sensitive to environmental changes, which have presented many challenges to those cultivating this mushroom. However, Japanese farmers have succeeded in producing high-quality organic maitake mushrooms, allowing for wider availability both in Japan and the U.S." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"At the end of the day, I join Voon and his colleagues at a folk dancing performance in an open-air stadium. The traditional forest dances seem out of place on this amplified, metallic stage. The crowd, wearing button-up shirts and dress shoes, watches the dancing and then stands up to sing along to an anthem. It's a catchy song with a syncopated Casio beat and couplets about embracing progress and cyber technologies: "Thank you for the way the old things were done," they sing. "Now it's time for the modern age." Naught but fruit doth ever pass my lips . . ." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Dancing, whether it is line dancing, square dancing, or ballroom dancing, is so much fun that it may be hard to think of it as exercise, Dr. Singh says. But dancing actually is a good aerobic workout that also can improve your sense of balance, coordination, and muscle endurance. Because it is a weight-bearing exercise that places some impact on bones and joints, it is a positive stimulus for • Follow the 10 percent rule. Never increase your routine more than 10 percent a week. So if you walk a mile a day this week, for instance, walk no more than 1.1 miles a day next week." - Doug Dollemore, The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Seniors (Get the book.) "To get aerobic benefit from swimming, you have to swim at a pace that raises your heart rate or add aerobic water exercises and equipment made to add resistance to the arm and leg movements in the water. • dancing, whether it is line dancing, square dancing, or ballroom dancing, is so much fun that it may be hard to think of it as exercise, Dr. Singh says.

"When you do that, dancing will never become boring because there are almost limitless types of dancing to choose from. Dancing is such a great social activity that some of us forget that dancing can be done solo, as well. This is great to remember if you don't have a partner, if you're self-conscious about dancing in public, or if the weather is bad and you just want to do some quick exercise in the privacy of your own home. Simply put on music that gets your toes tapping and move to the beat in whatever way feels best to you." - Jack Challem, Burton Berkson, Melissa Diane Smith, Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance (Get the book.)

"Although the use of hallucinogenic drugs such as ayahuasca is common, many cultures use a strong repetitive rhythm or beat to create that state; the Native American Ojibwa wanbeno, for instance, use drumming, rattling, chanting, naked dancing, and handling of live coals.7 Drumming is particularly effective in producing a highly concentrated focus; a number of studies have shown that listening to the beat of a drum causes the brain to slow down into a trancelike state.8 As Native Americans discovered, even intense heat, as in a sweat lodge, can transport individuals to an altered state." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Like Augustus the Strong, he became impassioned by the fever of acquiring porcelain, emptying his coffers for figurines of bejeweled canaries in pearl headdresses, or dancing naiads as pretty as Rodin's marble sirens, or melancholy princes with slender fingers and gilded epaulets reclining on hoofed thrones. Such collectors have a drive for completeness that is, at its core, a pursuit of perfection, of death. "The craving for porcelain is like a craving for oranges," Augustus remarked at one point, trying to explain his "porcelain sickness." There are certainly overlaps." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"In another, he was smiling, dancing, and waving his straw hat. Since 1955, scientists had performed hundreds of studies and written thousands of papers describing how Ritalin and other stimulants could treat children unable to pay attention. Anyone taking the time to read these studies closely, however, would find that much of the work was not done independently. Instead, many of the scientists and physicians listed as authors of these papers were also being paid by the manufacturers of the children's drugs, including Novartis." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"I saw the gentle curves, the deep crevices, the jutting rocks, and the softness of the leaf-blanketed forest as well as the woodpecker holes in the tree, the tiny green shoots just emerging, the drop of moisture from the morning dew, and the light dancing across it all. As I continued to perceive with my heart a slow undulation began and I felt the movement of the Earth. Then I realized that the birdcall, the wind shifting through the trees, and the rustle amongst the leaves all resonated in rhythm with the slow wavelike motion." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "He continues that this "homeless soul has become a fugitive" and that "for there to be a world at all, every indigenous, original, natural thing must start singing its song, dancing its dance, moving and breathing, each according to its own nature, saying its name, manifesting simultaneously its secret spiritual signature." SOUL CONTRACTS Before we are born we make contracts with those we are closest to in this lifetime, the most predominant being the ones with our primary relations, our immediate family." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF PLANTS Stepping out into the cold morning air, light reflects from the millions of tiny crystalline structures—each a unique expression, together becoming a rainbow of dancing light, glistening with the promise of this new day. I head out, up the Eagle's Nest Trail, filling my lungs with the crisp air, breathing heavier as the trail gets steeper, and watching the clouds of breath flow from somewhere deep inside like a steam engine on a roll. Slowing now as the weight of my body slips into my awareness, I wonder, "What's the hurry?" - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "Through the shimmering veil of light I see what is here everywhere, on the trees, the stones, the way the leaves are patterned on the forest floor; they all have faces: old men, dancing women, a mama bear, a gnome, a dragon, three children holding hands, and a big presiding grandmother. Now I see the crevices and cracks in the rocks and the holes at the base of the trees, the homes of those who live here. My eyes can see clearly, this is where the nature spirits live. That is why this place has always seemed so vibrant, so teeming with life, and so special." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"White and other church leaders embraced the healing done at "water-cure" spas and sanitaria, they frowned upon the dancing and card playing that frequently took place at such facilities and decided to provide a more straitlaced, Adventist alternative. In 1866, a hydrotherapy clinic known as the Western Health Reform Institute was founded in Battle Creek, Michigan.

"According to particle physics, the world is fundamentally dancing energy; energy that is everywhere and incessantly assuming first this form and then that. What we have been calling matter (particles) constantly is being created, annihilated and created again. This happens as particles interact and it also happens, literally, out of nowhere. Where there was "nothing" there suddenly is "something", and then the something is gone again, often changing into something else before vanishing." - Gary Zukav, Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (Get the book.) "Claims to be based on "absolute truth"; the way that nature really is "behind the scenes". dancing lesson for quantum mechanics Cannot picture it. Based on behavior of subatomic particles and systems not directly observable. Describes statistical behavior of systems. Predicts probabilities. Does not assume an objective reality apart from our experience. We cannot observe something without changing it. Claims only to correlate experience correctly. This is quantum mechanics. The next question is, "How does it work?" Parr One Patterns of Organic Eneroq CHAPTER I LIVING?" - Gary Zukav, Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (Get the book.) "The way it really is cannot be communicated verbally, but in the attempt to talk around it, eastern literature speaks repeatedly of dancing energy and transient, impermanent forms. This is strikingly similar to the picture of physical reality emerging from high-energy particle physics. Buddhist literature does not speak of learning new things about reality, but about removing veils of ignorance that stand between us and what we already are. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that the preposterous claim that mass is only a form of energy is unexpectedly palatable." - Gary Zukav, Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (Get the book.) "Amid the powerful purr of particle accelerators, the click of computer printouts, and dancing instrument gauges, the old "science" that has given us so much, including our sense of helplessness before the faceless forces of bigness, is undermining its own foundations. With the awesome authority that we have given it, science is telling us that our faith has been misplaced. It appears that we have attempted the impossible, to disown our part in the universe. We have tried to do this by relinquishing our authority to the Scientists." - Gary Zukav, Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (Get the book.)

"Find something you like doing that gets you active, whether it's playing volleyball on the beach, going dancing, or hiking in the nearby hills with friends. Plenty of trainers and fitness teachers offer an array of DVDs for rent or sale that you can do in the comfort of home and that will take you step by step through a routine that involves cardio, strength training (sometimes called resistance training), and stretching. Or you can check out that new yoga and spinning studio that just opened up in your neighborhood. It's as simple as that. Get creative and have fun with your activity." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Yet there was a reason she was still singing and dancing after reaching the age of seventy. Her variety shows would not be possible, she said, without a medicine called Detrol. "Overactive bladder affects you because it defects you," she explained to Perry. She had been forced to plan her life around her overactive bladder, she said, avoiding long car trips and making sure she knew the location of the restroom everywhere she went. Reynolds added a bit of reassurance to any reader horrified to realize that he or she had these defects too. "People do not need to be frightened." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Something that they enjoy doing, whether it is rollerblading, dancing (maybe they enter a dance competition with a partner) or taking a class in something they have never done before. It can make you feel effective and part of things, especially if you do a team sport that involves a group where people rely on you, you count. It's not whether you have made that home run but how you have helped other people to get to that home run. Exercise actually works the body, but it also revitalizes our sense of spirit and I think that is really important." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Of course, dancing is optional . . . The drug industry did not stop its efforts in medical education with physicians. As I paged through postings of these events in Iowa, I found that Pfizer had paid in 2004 for occupational health nurses to lunch and attend a class at a sparkling new conference hall overlooking the Mississippi. A few months later, Pfizer treated Iowa pharmacists to dinner and "education" at the CR Chop House, a pricey establishment in Cedar Rapids with steaks and other expense account fare." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"For instance, such activities as dancing, tai chi, and yoga present complex challenges to all participants. Ultimately, these scattered studies can be boiled down to one simple piece of advice: Stay active. Doctors who work with aging persons have a common phrase: What's good for the heart is good for the head. This means that if you control the same risk factors for heart disease—not smoking, eating right, exercising, and so on—you can also contribute to the wellness of your brain. It's a good two-for-one deal if ever there was one!" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"He participated vigorously in ballroom dancing and in time was playing eighteen holes of golf two to three times a week. Stan has not taken any nitroglycerin since he started the supplement program six years ago. In 2005, Stan consulted with another cardiologist, who placed him on Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. However, a subsequent evaluation showed his heart was functioning in regular rhythm. Since he had no fibrillation, Stan's son, who is a chiropractor, suggested high-dose vitamin E in combination with fish oils to serve as alternative anticoagulants.
