Body Connect
Introduction
We are not taught to really feel or connect to our bodies (something we believe should be taught starting in primary school!) Most of us never learn very much about our own anatomy, or how to effectively research, diagnose, and treat ourselves. There are few unbiased sources that present all the data about different treatments and wellness products, which would allow individuals to easily make informed decisions. And with the wellness industry making a large number of products available to us, how can I know which products really work and which ones are best for me?
Keeping our knowledge about our bodies in the realm of experts only benefits certain people and their bank accounts and prevents us from moving to a deeper level of connection with ourselves. By connecting with our bodies and learning about all the various ways we can support our physical health, we end up happier, healthier, and we save money. 
AwarenessConnections.Org is a vast website of free tools and information that is under construction. We have about 85% of the content finished for the initial launch but have been unable to get enough help to get it done with all of the other things in life (people needing us to teach classes, people needing our help even when they can't pay us much or anything, health situations, getting money to pay bills, etc.). We are excited to partner with several time banks in areas where we do travel around the Northeast and teach programs because we think this is going to let us finish the website and the several videos we have that just need finishing touches to post to the internet. Yay!
This page is not yet complete. Our ACO Team has been working extremely hard to design and produce the AwarenessConnections.Org site. From January through October of 2014, more than six key people and several other smaller players have volunteered more than 1400 people-hours to bring this website and project to the public so far, not including the many hours of data gathering and brainstorming which had occurred over several prior years. Please realize that people can influence how quickly things get completed and what order and priority they take with each other. For example, if someone lets us know that they really want a particular topic, we will try to make it a higher priority. If someone else realizes that they have something to share about a particular topic, they can start or complete a writeup for us and email it to articles@awarenessconnections.org, and/or they can just refer us to other links or data that’s out there so that we can more easily complete the writeup when we do it ourselves, and so on. They could give as much or as little information as they want. They could have it as roughly written or as well written as they want. The more it is applicable, relevant, well written, complies to the guidelines for articles, etc., the less we will probably need to edit it. To see all the other ways you can help, many of them not involving money, see the Care & Share section. Click here for more details. |
