Among ahpweb’s excellent additions for the new year is the Uplift Program’s website. Alicia Fortinberry and Bob Murray’s (see photo) site includes articles, news items, and research findings relating to all aspects of relationships, child-rearing, depression and anxiety, movement physiology, and somatic psychology.

Wholistic healing—addressing body, emotions, mind, relationships, and spirit—starts with self-healing and can be enhanced by a healer. Daniel J. Benor, M.D., on the Examining Board of the American Board of Holistic Medicine, and his Wholistic Healing Research site will introduce you to fascinating evidence that confirms that their approach are helpful.

An AHP memberlink, The Institute website for Authentic Process Healing, is provided by Michael Picucci. APT sees recovery as a two-stage process. Stage One, the healing from a primary addiction to alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling or any other dependency requires a committed, singular focus for at least one or two years. Stage Two—the direct focus of APT—is the recovery of fulfillment, wisdom, serenity, and emotional, spiritual, and sexual wholeness.

Lonnie LePore’s OmPlace, a wholistic Internet "portal," includes a directory, information resources, and an alternative news reporting service. OmPlace shows that there are many choices and alternatives for wholistic living and working by giving short news essays on an incredibly diverse range of topics. They also offer inform ation on how to improve your website, and Omplace develops and hosts websites, as well.

The anunda website, created by Christopher Wynter and Fiona Tulk, is about seen and unseen sources of conscious and unconscious programs, patterns, and beliefs that govern life and lead to stress, conflict, addictions, and physical and psychological disease. anunda addresses a new paradigm for Transpersonal Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality. Their approach is that complementary rather than alternative points of view can help to broaden your perspective about any other advice, guidance, study and/or treatment that you choose to undertake.

Exceptional human experiences (EHEs) indicate that there may be a continuum of consciousness. As explained on Rhea White’s ehe site (see heart logo), EHEs serve as a means of moving the experiencer away from a more or less exclusive identification with a self bounded by the skin and thought of as separate from others and everything else to an awareness of a Self that is All Things, the All-Self.
