SPICES for Life © is a comprehensive approach to wellness and stress management that includes all the components for creating and maintaining professional and personal power.
Wellness goes far beyond the freedom from illness. It emphasizes each individual’s uniqueness along with the importance of self-responsibility and a positive attitude for personal well being.
SPICES represents the six components of wellness: Social, Physical, Intellectual, Career, Emotional and Spiritual health and well being. Each dimension is equally important to living a well-rounded, successful life. Paying equal attention to each aspect by developing and balancing them throughout life is important and results in wholesome living which is stimulating, productive and vital.
SPICES for Life workshops provide an introduction to wellness and motivates people to make appropriate changes for improving health and well-being.
Additionally, SPICES for Life can also provide a structure for a well rounded employee wellness program. Ideally, this format starts with an introductory session which trains participants on the concepts and advantages of professional and personal well being and motivates them to pursue lifestyle improvements. Sessions on each wellness dimension follow to further understanding and prompt individual lifestyle changes that are positive in nature. Each session will help participants:
The Hurricane Katrina Resiliency Project is using SPICES for Life as a wellness and stress management tool for mental health professionals associated with recovery efforts. Workshops are being held in New Orleans starting in the fall of 2007. (Yes, recovery efforts are will underway).
Michigan State University College of Human Medicine is using the SPICES concept and acronym in a comprehensive health and wellness resource guide for all incoming first-year medical students starting in the Fall of 2007.
Thomas M. Wolf wrote about SPICES for Life in his book: To your Health: Achieving Well-Being during Medical School.

Dirgha is pronounced DEAR-gah
Summary: This breathing technique is done with long, slow, deep breaths while focusing on the lower, mid, and upper portions of your chest. This allows for the fullest breathing possible and will improve respiration, circulation, and even digestion. The complete breath will soothe your frazzled nerves, clear your mind, and will replenish your life force.
Controlling the volume, duration and frequency of the inhalation, the exhalation, and the pauses between each breath enhances prana, the energy that supports and sustains the life force. Breathing becomes slow and refined.
