Each activity has a one sentence description, a paragraph of instructions, a personal story or perspective from the author's life, and several serious and playful quotes that apply to the activity. The background section includes a primer on Myers Briggs personality type, mind-body medicine, meditation, journaling, and various ancient health practices.<BR><BR>        Most of us associate chicken soup with being sick or in need of comfort. Ice cream, on the other hand, usually brings us a feeling of celebration and joy. We find excuses to eat it any time, anywhere and for any reason. It comes in as many flavors, varieties and concoctions as we do. Indulge in homemade black cherry, heaped into a fluted, clear glass sundae goblet, or choose a single scoop of premium brand French vanilla bean ice cream, gently centered in a chilled metal dish.<BR><BR>        Feeling a little guilty? There are healthier versions, too -- sugar-free, fat-free and even lactose-free. <BR><BR>        Think back to the last time you ate ice cream. Did you plow through the whole bowl without really tasting it, or did you savor each spoonful, noticing its cold smooth texture, tasting each chocolate chip or nut?<BR><BR>         Start with the story of how the book came about (<a href="preface.html">Preface</a>), the <a href="background.html">background section</a>, or your favorite category of activities using the menu below.</b></font> <BR><BR><BR><BR> </TD></TR></TABLE> <TABLE WIDTH="85%" BORDER="4" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" ALIGN="CENTER"> <TR><TD ALIGN=CENTER><BR><font color="#003366" size="+2"><b><u>Table of Contents</u></b></font><BR></TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="left"><BR> <font color="#003366"><b>1.   </b></font><a href="preface.html" target="-_blank"><font color="#003366"><b>Preface</b></font></a><BR><BR> <font color="#003366"><b>2.    </b></font><a href="background.html" target="_blank"><font color="#003366"><b>Background</b></font></a><BR><BR> <font color="#003366"><b>3.    </b></font><a href="contents.html" target="_blank"><font color="#003366"><b>Activities</b></font></a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet4.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexac.html" target="_blank">Arts & Crafts</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet5.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexf.html" target="_blank">Friends and Loved Ones</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet4.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexg.html" target="_blank">Meditation Games</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet5.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexh.html" target="_blank">Home, Inside and Outside</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet4.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexm.html" target="_blank">Mindfulness</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet5.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexv.html" target="_blank">Visualizations</a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet4.gif" alt="bullet"><a href="indexw.html" target="_blank">Writing</a><BR><BR> <font color="#003366"><b>4.    </b></font><a href="author2.html" ><font color="#003366"><b>Author</b></font></a><BR><BR> <img src="../images/bullet5.gif" alt="bullet">Joy Koenig, M.D.<BR> <BR> </TD> </TR> </TABLE><BR> <div><p align="center"><font size="1">© Copyright 1999-2008 by Joy Koenig, M.D.<BR> All Rights Reserved.
