Seven Keys to Health and Happiness

"Practice Silence - Wisdom is a state of emptiness, listening, and attentiveness. 

Learn from Nature - Every tree, every animal, every stone has a lesson to teach. 

Find and Honor Your Life Purpose -  Your purpose is a gift from the Great Spirit. 

Respect Your Ancestors and Ancestry - All people have indigenous roots, and no culture has a monopoly on wisdom.

Maintain Emotional Balance - Keep your emotions calm and cultivate humor 

Eat According to Your Genes  - Follow the diet of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. 

Get Plenty of Exercise - Stand and move with dignity, and breathe slowly. 

-  Ken Cohen, Native Wisdom: Seven Keys to Health and Happiness, 2003.

Lifestyle Advice for Wise Persons

I have purchased and have used a number of audio-recordings by Ken Cohen.  I think he has a very pleasant speaking voice, the Sounds True recordings are excellent, and his presentations are informative and insightful.  Mr. Cohen is very knowledgeable about Taoism, Qigong, and Native American arts and culture.
