This is an ongoing lecture series about our health, what it is, how we lose it, and how we gain it back.  Dr. Said defines "health" not merely as the absence of physical symptoms.  To him, health is a far broader subject that deals not only with our bodies, but also with how we interface with other equally significant factors.  Yes, the care of our bodies is very important, but we are more than a body and we do not live our lives in isolation.  We interface with the natural world and its resources, upon which our lives are dependent for sustenance.  Additionally, we each have a "self" that uniquely defines who we are, with a character shaped by how we respond to the many forces in our lives, whether they be physical, emotional, psychological, relational, or spiritual.  We also share our lives with other people - with our spouses, children, extended families, friends, colleagues, work partners, employers, employees, acquaintances, and the relational world at large.  How we manage our relationships and experience intimacy further both defines and characterizes who we are and what spirit we represent to the world. Ultimately, we are each connected to our Creator in a relationship that begs our attention and understanding.  Perhaps this last relationship has the deepest effect on our health, and most significantly defines how we experience and interface with all other relationships.

In this series, Dr. Said begins with the most basic understanding of health, and gradually and sequentially builds a deepening view of how we can build health throughout our lives, in our bodies, in our homes, in all our relationships, and with our Creator.  The lectures tackle the difficult situations that we face every day of our lives, in every facet of our life experience, and provides real tools and ways that we can cooperate with the healing process, with each other, and with our Creator, to manifest a life befitting of the purpose for which we were created.

This current series of lectures is about our relationship to our own bodies.  Here Dr. Said discusses how our bodies handle stress, and its effect on the GI system, immune and nervous system, and body posture.
