Greetings!
My work in stress management is thriving these days. I was interviewed for a story on “Breathing,” and it is printed online:
National Public Radio June 29th . The stress consult service at Duke Hospital continues to be very popular. Our weekly meditations in the Chapel are well attended. If you are ever a patient or visiting you can come to the Chapel on the 6th floor 3pm Thursdays.

I recently returned from visiting Ram Dass and doing a Sacred Tour of Maui program with him. It was fantastic.
Check out more about RD’s events. Ram Dass is doing very very well, all things considered. See a picture at the bottom with Ram Dass and friends taking a dip in the ocean. He is very much in touch with his soul, and more and more he sees us all as souls! In April he quietly celebrated his 78th birthday.

In this newsletter you can learn about a wonderful group of
people helping Ram Dass health and home needs. Please consider joining!

I will share about a program with Sharon Salzberg and a chanting program. You can check out my great stress management products and chanting CDs.

If you would like to see how I managed stress when I was in nursing school; see a YouTube video about a rap song I wrote and sung. Nursing Rap

"This rap was recorded in 1987 by University of North Carolina nursing students. After listening to Run-D.M.C Jon Seskevich made up this hip hop tune about his classmates and experiences while walking to his psychiatric nursing clinical rotation in Chapel Hill, NC. This video was shot later in the semester for the school's video yearbook. Jon is now a nurse clinician specializing in Stress Management at Duke Hospital."

My website ManageStressNow.com has wonderful material to help cut down on the wear and tear on people that has come with all the changes in the economy and life this past year. Also some great research and I’ve been involved in is featured on the website.
