Showing results for "Miller" in Ageing

Change the images and strategies that your mind uses to re-write the script of your life. Dr. Emmett Miller is a physician, health educator, author, and a pioneer in the field of mind/body medicine. For over thirty years, he has taught that when you are responsive to your internal as well as your external environment, most difficulties are eased. The mind and body become alive and attuned, and act in accord with changing experience. The result is wellness and high levels of performance and creativity.

Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love. Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

Today's caregivers are under extraordinary stress. Right now, we are all looking at the challenges of dealing with a huge aging population (every eight seconds a baby boomer turns 65). This leads to an increasing amount of care being rendered by people who aren’t health care professionals. This wonderful program speaks to all types of caregivers. It consists of a heart-to-heart talk, a reminder of the true source of healing, how the relationship with a caregiver can support this healing, and how important it is to recognize caregiver stress and prevent caregiver burnout.
