Past Events That Have Helped Shift the Aging Perspective

Spirituality is Ageless

Whatever your age, 40-70+, ask yourself, "Am I ready to become more than I ever thought I could be?"

If the answer is yes, join BTW and learn the tools, techniques and "tricks of the metaphysical trade" from Science of Mind principles. 

Based on Ernest Holmes'™ teachings, Science of Mind motivates us to achieve a more fulfilling life through an affirmative process in which one states a desired outcome as if it has already happened. For example, "I have a bestseller . . . I'm sixty and have a new successful business . . . My relationships are perfect with both men and women . . ." The goal is to gain clarity in thinking that guides action to be consistent with desired outcomes.

It is a personal, positive, powerful, and present experience. Come hear the dynamic and energetic Dr. Sue Rubin, Senior Pastor of the Westlake Church of Religious Science and see how it is possible to "Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life."

Dr. Sue Rubin is known for her enormous energy, clarity in presenting Universal Principles and for her humor and enthusiasm. Come and see for yourself what it means to be, as Dr. Sue says, "Spiritually mature and eternally young." 

ARE YOU AT RISK? Why Tests Fail to Detect Women's 'Hidden' Heart Disease

What are the five major risk factors that determine the majority of heart disease risk? -- and, what can you do NOW to protect yourself?

One in three women will die of heart disease in their lifetime, and one in two women in their lifetime will develop or suffer from what we call cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease, as well as high blood pressure.

Many of these women have a 'hidden' heart disease that standard tests won't detect -- which means they may receive a clean bill of health only to suffer a serious heart attack. Researchers have found fatty deposits in women's coronary arteries that do not show up as obvious blockages on angiograms.

Dr.C. Noel Bairey Merz joined BTW in May at our Mother's Day event to tell us why it's so hard to detect this type of heart disease. Attending members insisted we invite Dr. Merz back so they can hear her speak again and so that even more BTW'S can benefit from this critical information.

Merz is a cardiologist, the medical director of the Women's Health Program and Preventative and Rehabilitative Cardiac Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the scientific chair of the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) study.
