Guest Editorial by Douglas De Long

I would like to offer congratulations to the members of the Western Canadian Holistic Health World web site on the launching of the new online health magazine Body Mind Spirit.

In June of 2000, this unique site was started in Saskatchewan.

Since then it has grown to include all of Western Canada with well over 150 online practitioner-members.

Since its inception, there have been more than 200,000 page request hits. This in itself is an amazing accomplishment.

The overwhelming result of this much-needed health site has allowed holistic, complimentary, and alternative health modalities to join together as an online community. This creates a venue for all practitioners in their chosen fields to expand their services and products and thus help others.

The addition of Body Mind Spirit magazine increases the potential for all practitioners to reach even more people. The opportunities are exciting and far-reaching. Imagine expanding your client, customer or patient base from a local radius to all of Western Canada or, eventually, the whole of Canada!

As this online community grows, through the Western Canadian Health Web site and this new magazine, more healers, counselors, teachers, and special practitioners will join together to educate others.

The Twenty-first Century will see wondrous advances in human spirituality and medicine. Both of these aspects of our evolving society will blend together in the very near future. Body Mind Spirit online magazine is one of many signposts that will point the way.

A man once said, " My only purpose in life is to serve others." This is the philosophy entrenched within Body Mind Spirit magazine. Hopefully, it will become the philosophy of all.
