Check out Sophia Institute Founder Carolyn Rivers' essay: "Spirituality is the recognition that we are all spiritual beings in a material world, that there is the Divine at the center of all being, where love and wisdom are held, where the physical body, the mind, and the soul and spirit are honored, where there is an awakening of the heart."

Yoga and hot flashes

Stay tuned for the results of this Wake Forest study wich began in February 2010. "The primary goal of this R21 pilot grant is to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of Integral Yoga for reducing self-reported menopausal hot flashes. Secondary aims are to determine the impact of yoga on objective hot flashes and other outcomes and study feasibility. Our primary hypothesis will be a greater reduction in subjective hot flash frequency and severity in the yoga group than in two control groups. Secondary outcomes will include a greater reduction in objective hot flash frequency; a greater decrease in hot flash interference; and greater improvement in sleep, other symptoms, mood, perceived stress, and overall quality of life in the yoga group."
