Name:Status: MemberDescription: These are troubled times. We all have problems and challenges. Many of us are beset with worries, fear and grief. But we also have the innate ability to not just cope with our problems, but to be proactive in our own healing, problem solving and personal growth. Join me, Rev. Vic Fuhrman, on a journey of self-healing and recovery from life's difficult moments. It is time to heal ourselves and take responsibility for enhancing our lives. Heal Thy Self is place for sharing our stories and supporting each other. I noticed that when I ran Heal Thy Self together, it spelled out "Healthy Self". This is our aspiration...to achieve the healthy self. Everyone welcome. Please note: It is my belief that all forms of spiritual healing are meant as compliments to and not substitues for traditional western medicine. Anyone seeking spiritual healing should also continue to be seen and treated by his or her physician.

Name:Status: MemberDescription: You can't go anywhere in the media without hearing about the latest twists and turns in the life of pop star Britney Spears. But one thing that's missing is compassion. While everyone's spending a lot of time making fun of Britney the pop idol who has spent the past year going through turmoil, few people are stopping to consider the person beneath the celebrity. This is clearly a young woman out of control and in need of help. This group is a place for those who care to sympathize and empathize with Britney. Here you can post comments, suggestions, photos and personal stories of triumph over life’s struggles. Also find resources and important information on mental health. Thanks for joining.
