North Jersey Drum and Dance: A Beat for a Cause

The North Jersey Drum and Dance (NJDD) is a gathering of drummers, dancers, and hoopers that meets the last Saturday of every other month, from 8 to 11 p.m., at the New Jersey Foundation for the Blind, 230 Diamond Spring Road, Denville. This month’s gathering takes place on September 24; the next will be November 26. Open to all, at a $12 admission fee (children under 12, free), NJDD offers a space for participants to express themselves through music or dance and fosters a sense of community. You do not need to be a musician or dancer to enjoy this event: The only requirement is an open heart, an open mind, a rhythmic beat and dancing feet! An art table is set up for one’s artistic muse to express itself, and a “grazing” area offers a place to enjoy light snacks and beverages. Handmade jewelry and clothing are available from vendors on site, and tarot readings and face painting (for an extra fee) are also featured. Monies raised help support the programs offered by the New Jersey Foundation for the Blind.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
