RESEARCH
Relevant Research
This section of the site will present research not only relevant to our work, offering some of the scientific underpinning for our philosophy and approach, it will also offer research relevant to the whole area of mind-body-spirit and environment.
What we want to show in this section is that there is enough research and information to support not only our claims (see The Reach Philosophy and Approach) but to encourage us all to move closer to an integrated way of thinking and living. Until we realise that no one area of our lives can stand alone and that we are interdependent beings, we continue to run the risk of chasing our tails, never ever finding a solution for our deficiencies and dysfunctions.
There will be research data from the areas of environmental medicine, diet and nutrition, complementary/alternative health, counselling and psychotherapy and quantum physics, to name a few, which will help you complete the jigsaw of life…….
HAS ARRIVED....
Antiquity Comes Full Circle
This is a 60,000 word document that will be presented in a six part format. This will give the reader the opportunity to properly reflect upon it and fully digest its content. It is not meant to be a piece of academic literature, simply filled with facts and figures. However, it does contain significant historical data and references, but it has a more important story to tell. Its aim is to give proper respect and recognition to our ancestors who’ve laid a foundation of principles and values that we believe continue to be eroded and yet have probably never been needed more than right now. If you’re an avid reader and consumer of personal growth material, you could be forgiven for believing that so many of the ‘revelations’ of the present time are new and actually belong to our modern-day messengers. And yet with further exploration one is easily able to find that much of what is being reported as if ‘new’ is in fact thousands of years old!
What has happened over many centuries is that we seem to have traded in our core values and principles, even ourselves, for the sake of progress. It’s as if progress has become the prize and the past no longer has anything to offer us. In this six-part narration, we have attempted to bring some balance to the ‘new found’ wisdom of the day. For this 'new found wisdom’ is not new at all and in fact, in many cases, has been significantly diluted. Our present day re-discovery of some of it, still means we are in danger of missing the point!
Antiquity Comes Full Circle is a natural extension of our previous article, Science the New God? In Science the New God? we beg the question “can we fully invest our faith and trust in something that changes its mind approximately every 40 years?” In Antiquity Comes Full Circle we ask the opposing question, “can we dismiss something that actually has continued to stand the test of time?”

REV. DR. IYANLA VANZANT: Listening
Did You Know?…
We are made up of food, water, air and light. These are the four major considerations if we are to give our bodies the best chance of delivering their potential.
Without these four vital components in their purest form it is difficult to be mentally and spiritually healthy. Listed below are some facts well worth noting because as you will have gathered as you browse through the material on this site, our premise is that well-being needs to be addressed by focusing equally on mind, body, spirit and environment (see The Story of Health).
Well-being is like a table with 4 legs – no one leg is more important than another. Can the table do its job properly if one leg is completely removed or if the legs are different sizes/lengths? Of course the answers to these questions are obvious. So, why do we not pay proper attention to all 4 aspects? Until we do, well-being and health will remain elusive or at best transitory states.
Although we stand confidently behind the knowledge presented on the following pages the information put forward in this section is not meant in any way to be a substitute for following medical advice or any course of treatment you may be pursuing. We would always advise you to consult your doctor or medical/health practitioner before embarking on any alternative/complementary treatments. Having said this, much of what is documented here we believe would only serve to support you on your journey towards optimum health.
