Primoridal sound meditation program set Jan. 27-28
Primordial Sound Meditation
will be offered Saturday, Jan. 27
and Sunday, Jan. 28, in Lewes.
This highly successful technique,
which will be taught by Beebe
Frazer, was revised by Deepak
Chopra, internationally renowned
author and expert in the Indian
healing science of Ayruveda.
Frazer was trained in the disci-
pline by Chopra.
This form of meditation uses a
personal mantra to guide attention
inward to the individual's funda-
mental level of being. A mantra is
a sound without specific meaning
that quiets the mind and soothes
the body. The participant sits
down, closes their eyes and silent-
ly repeats the mantra, while
awareness moves from the active
mind to quieter levels and ulti-
mately to silence. Meditation, say
those who practice the discipline,
is not about
forcing the
mind to be qui-
et but finding
the quiet that is
already present.
During medi-
tation, the indi-
vidual is in a
Arthritis Foundation warns people with arthritis
they're at risk developing osteoporosis
According to the Arthritis Foundation, people with
arthritis may be at risk for developing osteoporosis, a
disease that can cause vertebrae to collapse and
bones to break with minor trauma. As a result, the
Arthritis Foundation has partnered with a number of
health organizations to sponsor a workshop, Osteo-
porosis and You! to provide comprehensive informa-
tion about osteopor0sis prevention, control and treat-
ment for people with arthritis. Training by the
Arthritis Foundation to conduct this program has re-
cently been completed.
Women, seniors and people with an inflammatory
type of arthritis are at increased risk of developing
osteoporosis, particularly if they are taking corticos-
teroid medications to control the disease. The Arthri-

loved ones.
There often is criminal behav-
ior, the result of the need for hid-
den money to purchase drugs. It
is hardly unusual for an addict to
find himself in trouble with the
law. The addict does not want this
disintegrating life style, but actu-
ally he or she has lost control of
his life. As personal relationships
fall apart or legal problems wors-
en, the addict naturally feels bad,
down, awful.
The addict will display charac-
teristics of depression or lethargy.
One must remember that before
their drug addiction begins, drug
dependent people were basically
good people.
However. as they encounter the
real-life problems brought on by
addiction, they get trapped in the

tis Foundation's Osteoporosis and You! program
provides increased awareness and knowledge to help
prevent or control osteoporosis - even for those at
high risk.
"Many people with arthritis may not know they
are at high risk for osteoporosis," said Mei Ander-
son, program director of the Arthritis Foundation.
"By taking this course, they will be able to identify
the risks and do something about it. The course will
be presented using both a lecture and discussion for-
mat and will cover osteoporosis screening and diag-
nosis, nutrition, exercise, fall prevention and med-
ications.

arduous task of trying to hide or
cover up the deeds or acts that led
to these problems.
At this point, they begin to feel
guilty. This guilt then causes the
addicts to withdraw even further
from family, loved ones and
friends. They may even become
antagonistic toward those close to
them who do not abuse drugs or
alcohol. This antisocial behavior
is a direct result of their wrong
doings and dishonest life style.
In order to remove these barri-
ers to their successful recovery,
addicts must discover or create a
positive change in moral values.
They must "get honest" - proba-
bly the toughest part of recovery.
People do not enjoy admitting
wrongdoing, looking at whom
they have hurt and how.
This process is made even more
difficult for an addict because,
frankly, they can't think very
well; their minds are clouded and
dulled. However, the age-old
basic premise of effective coun-
seling still holds true: confession
is good for the soul.
This is certainly true in remedy-
ing drug or alcohol addiction. If
addicted people can confess hon-
estly their wrongdoings and can
find a way to make up the damage
that was done, they will experi-
ence tremendous relief. They will
be free from guilt and become bet-
ter able to transform thief lives
permanently for the better.
