Throughout the ages, people have turned to faith for healing. Whether it was the power of prayer, meditations, laying of hands, or other means, people have sought a connection to their spirit for guidance and comfort. People of faith and those with no particular faith continue to seek truth through spirituality. For many, this is their pathway to better health.
Those who gain deeper understanding of their spiritual power are often transformed physically, emotionally and spiritually. So much so that they are compelled to share their experience. Some call this “testifying” or “witnessing” to what has happened to them. Hearing other’s triumphs often inspire people to believe the same is possible for them. Yet, in our modern society we often shy away from sharing our spiritual beliefs for fear of what others might think or say. Gary Hall is not one of those people.
Having dealt with serve illness throughout his life, Gary believed there had to be a better way. So he made it his life’s mission to search for and find it. His journey led him to his spirit and faith. Believing that there is divine power available to all, Gary shared with our Health Watch listeners how he uses the word of God and his faith to manifest miracles in his life.
Chronicling his story and spiritual insights, Gary has written a memoir called, A Wake Up Call: A Coming to Know God. In it he discusses how to become spiritually awake; how challenges like ego, doubt and the past can keep our spirits from blossoming; the importance of finding purpose; and how to keep our spirit in tune.
Our Health Watch listeners offered further insights about the relationship between spirit and health. Some shared their spiritual tools – like meditation – and how they use them to stay healthy. Others offered perspectives on how we have lost our spiritual way and how to reclaim this path for wellness. With such a lively discussion between our Health Watch listeners and our guest it is clear that many are undergoing their own spiritual awakenings.

“Keeping the Home Fires Burning”
For those that have been in long-term, monogamous relationships like marriage, keeping intimacy’s fire burning hot is not something that just happens. It takes work. When partners are committed to each other and the relationship, the effort can be well worth it. Most often the issue is not whether couples desire greater intimacy. Instead, it is about not knowing how to make it happen.
Some couples turn to medications, marital aids and other strategies with greater frequency to rekindle love’s flame. Others live with less fulfilling relationships, suffering in silence instead of having the passionate marriages they truly want. With the greater number of male enhancement, female arousal and other similar products on the market, it is obvious that even if couples are not having satisfying relationships, they definitely are trying. Yet, perhaps the answer is not a toy or a little blue pill. Instead it might be in the bond between you and your partner. That might be the where “the secret” to having a passionate relationship is.
Dr. David Schnarsh, a clinical psychologist, certified sex therapist and author of the re-released bestselling book, Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships, definitely gave our Health Watch listeners some food for thought about passion and relationships. And our listeners also had a lot to share, also.
One of the myths Dr. Schnarsh dispelled early is that committed relationships should always burn hot. Instead, Dr. Schnarsh explained that relationships, like all living things, have cycles. There are ebbs and flows in relationships. These are natural, necessary and normal. These “cooling off” periods allow us to (re)assess our relationships, better understand ourselves, and cultivate who we are so we bring our best to our partners. Being comfortable in our own skin and with our sexuality are the best aphrodisiacs any couple can use.
If you are looking for a resource on creating greater intimacy, then you and your partner (maybe while tucked in under the covers!) should perhaps check out Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships. Dr. Schnarsh also has a sex survey that can give even more insight on the state of your relationship. For more information, check out the website below:

Whether you are in a committed relationship or still waiting for the love of your life, you need to bring your best self to any relationship. For when you love yourself it is impossible for others not to follow suit. Until next time, remember, “When we know better, we should do better. So pass it on!”
