A Book by Phil Jackson
I have a basketball player for a son, or a son that plays basketball. I like to buy him books to read that he can relate to and seeing that this book was written by Phil Jackson who coached the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan (one of my son’s favorite players)I thought it would be a good read. Well, it was such a great read, that my son made me read it. And I struggled with it. I do not read about sports! But then, a page at a time I realized that this book is not really about basketball-it's about spirituality and selflessness through basketball. The author is Phil Jackson, formerly of the New York Knicks (and colleague of Bill Bradley) and, later, coach of the Chicago Bulls - the only coach in NBA history to pull of twin "three-peats" - three consecutive NBA Championships, not once but twice. Under Jackson's guidance and the leadership of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Bill Cartwright, and others, the Bulls became the best basketball team in the world.
Jackson focuses his success on his fundamentalist upbringing and his exploration of other cultures and spirituality that mixed to bring him to the conclusion that oneness and selfless play based on philosophical principles instead of the riot of money, ego and media hype of the NBA will win games and build champions on the court and off!

Detoxify Your Body...
...with Far Infrared Sauna Treatments
We are being increasing exposed to an ever broadening variety of chemicals , many that have never been tested for toxicity. From lotions to every day cleaning solvents to hormonally altered live stock and everything in between, our bodies absorb these chemicals through our skin, lungs , the water we drink and the foods we eat. Many of these chemicals are fat soluble, which means they are stored and accumulated in our fat cells. These chemicals increase within our bodies over time and some of them are known to cause cancer, damage the nervous system, the immune system and organs, etc.
One of the best ways to detoxify our bodies is through the largest organ of our bodies – the skin. This occurs when we sweat. It is a very natural way of detoxing. However, not all toxins are eliminated simply by sweating.
Studies have shown that Far infrared saunas emit rays that penetrate several centimeters into the body and heat the fat cells under the skin, allowing them to release 5 to 6 times more toxins than through normal sweating.
Far Infrared heat saunas are an amazing improvement over traditional steam rooms and regular or hot rock saunas which produce maximum heat with minimal penetration; millimeters deep. Far Infrared heat is the only heat that penetrates deep enough and hot enough to effectively free the toxins from subcutaneous fat.
Far Infrared is not only for detoxification. It also improves cardiovascular health, boosts metabolism, its deep penetration aids in muscle, joint and chronic pain relief, relieves stress , helps in weight loss by burning calories, increases flexibility, alleviates sinus congestion, cleanses the lymphatic system, improves skin condition and much more.
Some people with certain illnesses and conditions should not use an infrared sauna. Also, the heat from the infrared sauna may interfere or cause reactions with some prescription drugs. It’s always best to be checked out before trying the Infrared sauna, and it sure sounds worth trying!
