Colonics Make Me Feel "Happy for No Reason"

In my colon hydrotherapy practice over the years, I have witnessed a dramatic correlation between digestive disturbances and depression, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety. I often question, "What came first...the chicken or the egg?" The mind and body are intimately connected. One thing is for sure. Colonics make people feel better all the way around.

According to the World Health Organization, the year 2020 will see depression become second only to heart disease in terms of the global burden of illness, a sad state of affairs that motivational speaker [Marci] Shimoff (co-author, Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul) believes can be changed by learning to cultivate "a happiness that’s beyond reasons and that’s here to stay." Inner happiness, she says, is within reach for anyone who can turn down the volume on their hectic lives and learn the 21 Happiness Habits that Shimoff has cultivated from 100 interviews with "deeply happy" people (including actress Goldie Hawn and author Elizabeth Gilbert). Emphasizing a holistic approach, Shimoff takes into account mind, heart, body and soul in seven chapters that cover three Happiness Habits each, as well as corresponding anecdotes that "define what it means to be Happy for No Reason.

The personal stories of happy interviewees prove enlightening, and the princples they support are sound and commonsensical ('Focus on the solution,' 'Make peace with yourself,' 'Question your thoughts,' 'Practice forgiveness'), if not exactly groundbreaking."
