Discover the Secret to Personal Excellence Hidden in Your “Mind-Body Code”
You may know that your mind influences your health-but what's influencing your mind? Until you answer this question, you may be overlooking a key factor on the path to personal excellence. On The Mind-Body Code, pioneering neuropsychologist Dr. Mario Martinez invites you to discover the dynamic interplay between your thoughts, body, and cultural history to master the creation of wellness and fulfillment.
Biocognitive Theory: A New Model of Health and Well-Being
Why do some people live well past the age of 100, without ever seeing a doctor? How can certain individuals reverse “incurable” disease, while others carry burdens of childhood wounds despite years of therapy? Dr. Martinez' Biocognitive Theory synthesizes insights from medicine and psychology, cultural anthropology, and Eastern and Western spirituality to find the answers to such baffling questions. The Mind-Body Code shows you how to speak the “biosymbolic language” of this new model of health. Six sessions of illuminating case studies complemented by relaxing yet potent mind-body meditations help you balance every facet of your life, from relationships and aging to abundance and ambitions.
Embrace Your Greatness-and Empower Your Dreams
The first step toward the health and satisfaction we all desire begins with one act: allowing yourself to be great. For it is in reclaiming your natural state of worthiness that you come back to wholeness and see anew all that is possible for you. With The Mind-Body Code, you hold a blueprint to rebuild your dreams and to take total control of your life's journey.

Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
Your longing to escape your usual routine and delve into the mysterious could make you feel more adventurous today. Perhaps this yearning may be due to your desire to experience greater personal growth by going beyond yourself and entering into unknown worlds. Seeking ways to push yourself further and stretch your limits might make your everyday life seem more exotic and could present opportunities for growth that you might never have imagined. Trying something such as a new form of meditation or exploring a different ethnic neighborhood of your community could expose you to alternative ways of life and satisfy your need for adventure. As you probe new customs or cultures, you may want to remind yourself that by remaining open to unimagined and unexpected possibilities, you can increase your potential to evolve even further.
Doing activities that challenge and excite us pushes us to even greater heights; if we were to continue with our daily routine, we would not be exposed to new and wonderful opportunities and ideas. It is important to remember that in order to incorporate change into our life, we don’t need to wander off to an exotic local. Even making simple changes to our schedule creates space for us to dive into something that will energize us and help us form fresh views of our world. By trying something that challenges you and piques your curiosity today, you will awaken the part of yourself that is responsive to new possibilities and will expand your horizons. Your longing to escape your usual routine and delve into the mysterious could make you feel more adventurous today.

Present in the Progression
Letting Life Unfold
by Madisyn Taylor
Present time can be hard, but life unfolds as it will and the universe will wait as we make our way into the unknown.
Our lives are guided by natural rhythms that are particular to each of us and cannot be altered by force of will alone. Life itself is a journey made up of processes and events that manifest before us only to be swept away when time marches on. Whether we envision ourselves creating a career, building a family, or developing the self, we instinctively know when the time has come for us to realize our dreams because all that is involved comes together harmoniously. When the time is right, the passage of destiny cannot be blocked. Yet as desperate as we are to touch these beautiful futures we have imagined, we cannot grow if we are not fully present in the evolutionary experience. The present can be challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but life unfolds as it will, and the universe will wait patiently as we make our way into the unknown.
The fate that awaits us is not dependent on our pace, which was preordained before we ever appeared in human guise. Therefore there is no reason to rush through life to reach those pinnacles of development associated with the paths we have chosen. Enjoying and fully experiencing the journey of life is as important as achieving goals and reaching milestones. There are lessons we can learn during those moments that seem immaterial or insignificant that we cannot learn at any other time. Appreciating these takes patience, however, because human beings tend to focus on the fulfillment of expectations rather than the simple joys of being.
Like many people, you have no doubt longed for a device that would give you the power to fast forward through certain periods of your existence. Yet haste is by its very nature vastly more stressful than serene fortitude. When you feel yourself growing impatient because the pace of your development is deceptively slow, remember that everything that will occur in your life will occur in its own time. Quelling your urge to rush will enable you to witness yourself learning, changing, and becoming stronger. There is so much to see and do in between the events and processes that we deem definitive. If you are patient enough to take pleasure in your existence's unfolding, the journey from one pinnacle to the next will seem to take no time at all.
