About this user

The Health Enhancement Channel is all about learning to HELP Yourself To Health. It was developed to serve as a personal operators manual for the body, mind and spirit as well as the environments we create.

Some of us grew up with the good fortune of a school education but in my experience it was lacking in clarity of how to enhance my health beyond eating balanced meals and getting exercise regularly.

This channel reflects my journey to fill this void after growing up amidst much disease and premature death of family and friends. I searched for clues in my travels and research as I wanted to provide a comprehensive approach based on the ancient spiritual wisdom of the East as well as the science and integrative medicine research of the West. The goal was to build a bridge between the two that could help people take control of their health.

The major influences in developing the Health Enhancement approach has been the essence of Integral Yoga based on the teachings of Swami Sivananda and Swami Satchidananda complemented by wisdom passed on from Dalai Lama, Shunryu Suzuki, Swami Satyananda, Thich Nhat Hanh, Swami Rama, from the East.

As well as the research and work of such pioneers as Dr. Candice Pert, Dr. Herbert Benson, Dr James Gordon, Dr. Dean Ornish, Ann Wigmore, Dr. Joan Borysenko, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn, Albet O Hirschman, Dr George Solomon, Dr. David Spiegel, Dr. John Sarno, Joseph Campbell, Robert Jervis, Dr. Patch Adams, Rob Brezsny, Ram Dass, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Norman Cousins, Dr, Larry Dossey, John Robbins, Bill Mollison, E.F. Schumacher, Hans Selye, Victor Frankl, Julia Cameron, A. Doak Barnett, Dr. Bernie Siegel and Daniel Goleman among others from the West.

As I searched the world's literature and ashrams, hospitals and communities, universities and farms, monasteries and mountains, spas and oceans, cities and deserts it became clear to me that there were fundamental precepts for a healthy life.

It was not a case of one size fits all, but rather a mindfulness of what one is experiencing in this moment. Each step and each breath we take is rich with clues. Past lessons, current abilities, passions, beliefs both in our conscious mind and sub-conscious, forgiveness, letting go and sensitivity to the small things in life, provide the keys to enhancing one's health.

Through my consulting to such diverse groups as Hospitals and Ashrams, Medical Schools and Spas, Govenrment Agencies and Private Corporations as well as thousands of individuals in all walks of life, I have come to realize that there is a huge demand for health enhancement as opposed to the traditional medical approach of dis-ease treatment and identification.

It is my hope that through this Health Enhancement channel, many people can find the inspiration and information they need to feel great. We can share this wellness with all those around us, thus transforming this planet which we share.

If you come across resources on the interent that you feel would be of benefit to others-with respect to people helping themselves to health-please either let me know or set up your own channel. We are all on this journey together to fill this void of how to look after one another and the environments we create.

Let us invest in a health care program based on healthy lifestyles through education and prevention. In the end, it is all about the quality of our lives, not how long we live, but how well we love. In assisting one another to optimal wellbeing in body, mind, and spirit while creating healthy environments, the love flows fully.

Never feel self-indulgent when HELPING YOURSELF TO HEALTH, by looking after your own health, you give your family and the world around you a wonderful gift. By then sharing the wisdom you have gleaned, you multiply this gift many times over.

Wishing you abundant health and peace of mind,

Neal Hoptman
