Brainwave Entrainment How to Use Humming For Health

Can you keep an open mind about knowledge that is NOT scientific? I have to force myself not to giggle at beliefs and practices of non-scientific cultures. But, recent research on Tibetan practices have proven as real as a heart attack.

Do you have to be a computer scientist to surf the Internet and make satisfying discoveries? How about being an electrical engineer in order to throw the light switch? Do you need a degree from Ford on auto mechanics to drive your car?

Physical Healing

Your own voice can MASSAGE your internal organs (mind-body connection). The objective is using your Electromagnetic Field in furtherance of healing and repair.

Wait – an EEG (electroencephalogram) invented by Hans Berger, German scientist, measures brainwaves including Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta in cycles per seconds. Discovered in the 1930s, it is still a valid area of research of the human electromagnetic field. It was originally dismissed by science as Science Fiction.

So What

The Life Energy (Chee) located in meridians (channels) is the animating force of humans. So far, science has not pinpointed it and considers it Science Fiction. You can do your own mind experiment and decide if it has personal value in healing.

Elongated Vowel Sounds

Humming vowel sounds are recommended by Tibetan priests as vibrations that relax your mind, reduce or eliminate pain, and aid in healing body structures and systems. Test the premise because it is easy as pie to learn and implement.

Why

Two-minutes of Toning (humming) conditions and programs your Nonconscious mind. It is your Nonconsciousness including your Nervous-Immune-Limbic systems that excite your mind-body connection for healing and repair.

It is your consciousness that sends your goals for healing to your nonconscious systems, and humming is part and parcel of using your conscious mind.

Did you know that our conscious mind has broadband capacity of up to 40 Hertz (cycles per second) – while your nonconscious systems (Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems) have a capacity of 11MILLION cycles per second. Yet, we consider ourselves driven by consciousness, right?

Vowels

U – vibrates in your Pelvis, hips, feet, legs, and LOWER body. Prostate gland.
O – vibrates in your abdomen (solar plexus to groin) and LOWER trunk.
A – vibrates in your body as a whole – including your Chest and Heart.
E – vibrates in your head, back of your skull, throat, chest and brain.

How

Breath is inhaling energy that communicates a mental movie or image to our Nonconscious mind – the right-hemisphere that with emotion, produces healing.

Wait – our goal is to use humming (toning) to restore our healthy vibrational frequency (electromagnetic field) to our Mind-Body connection. Remember, your voice belongs to your physical body.

Experiment

a) Find your sound Volume comfort-zone. Is it loud or soft?
b) Discover your sound Length comfort-zone. Long or short?
c) Test to find your natural PITCH.
d) Test U-O-A-E vowels – we learn more by doing, not guessing.
e) Notice how your fears and stress dissolve in two-minutes.
f) SECRET: When using a vowel: mentally visualize before and during inhaling, the part of the body you wish to heal.

The objective is to use your humming the vowel, as a laser beam to aid healing in your specific mind-body connection.

What Else

Pay attention to your vowel sound patterns. Do not go on autopilot. Feel the sound in a specific structure of your body. Describe to yourself how it feels – warm, cold, sharp or dull? What occurs when you soften the vowel tone or raise it louder?

Do you react the same? Do you feel calmer – expel your fears and stress? Can your mix the short and long tones? Do you feel a sense of harmony, balancing and cooperation? Remember, you control your vowel vibrations, so play with it.

Endwords

Each vowel opens a specific structure or system of your body. If you spend two-minutes (daily) on toning your humming, you are will see a difference in 7-days.

The secret is mentally VISUALIZING the area of your mind-body connection you are trying to affect. It is not humming alone or visualizing alone, you need to combine both. And add emotion for maximum effect. When you EXHALE – make the humming audible.

Feedback

1. Smiling while you hum changes your mindset and emotions. Sure, it is a phony smile, but your nonconsciousness accepts it as reality.
2. A great Mantra is OM (pronounced AOM). Try the mantra HOOM like the word WHOM. Two-minutes and you are connected.
3. Humming will seriously improve your thinking, learning and both short-term and long-term memory.
4. See if humming improves your blood pressure rate up to 15%.
5. Use earplugs to discharge distractions when toning.

That is enough – the folks who will try this experiment are Inquiring Minds. Start and you may be surprised at the interesting results.

This article is NOT given as medical advice. It is a review of material that appears to support humming. We do NOT suggest you attempt to heal yourself. Consult with your medical physician, not use this or any article as a model.

See ya.

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain? ?requency following?response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ?requency following?response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ?ntrain?to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ?ind-tripping? enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person? starting position, entrainment can be rather ?it and miss?

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you?e probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain? strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

As parents we want our children to have a better life than we have had. We want to spare them the pain and anguish that we went through. But as noble as these aspirations are, they can sometimes cause more problems than they prevent.

Some children have a difficult temperament or some other difficulty or problem that makes them harder to cope with than so called ‘normal’ children.

Kids with ADD and ADHD fall into this category. It can be difficult to watch them struggle in school, to watch the pain that comes from them being social outcasts and to battle with daily discipline issues. Many parents find instant relief through medication.

But is this really the best option?

Thomas Armstrong in his book ‘The Myth of the A.D.D. Child’ says “…this brave new world of drugs has now made it possible for parents and professionals to encourage compliance in children through purely biological means. All the messiness involved in growing up – the battle of the child’s will against the adult’s will, the endless restless curiosity, the sudden burst of anger, excitement, or jealousy – all this unpleasantness can now be avoided. One simply needs to classify the unruly child in a soundly scientific framework, give him a diagnostic label – attention deficit disorder – and control him through a psycho-pharmaceutical cornucopia of state-of-the-art medications.

Sounds like a dull, bland existence, almost like eating cardboard. Taking away the pain and struggle of growing up also takes away the pleasure of achievement, success and triumph over difficulties.

Mr. Armstrong goes on to say “No longer do parents have to ask so many of the difficult questions: ‘Why is my son so angry at life?’ ‘How can I learn to communicate with my daughter?’ ‘Why is my child not excited by school?'”

Instead of growing and learning through these experiences, parents turn to the doctor to alter the dosage or type of medication. And in the process, the child is short-changed from a wealth of wisdom and life skills that are borne of experience and trial and error.

So what are the options? Through my own experience with ADD, (and having a husband and son with ADHD), I have found that a combination of behavior modification, diet and brainwave entrainment therapy have been proven to be the most effective at producing long-term, lasting improvements.

This is where the Calm Kids Program really shines. It is the ONLY program on the market that combines all this elements into an effective, holistic treatment that works in as little as two weeks.

meditation music Dancing With Spirit

Leave a reply

Even the psychiatrist will often agree, “It is in your mind.” But where is the mind? The mind is an extension of you as a whole and is not centered in the brain or the second brain. Every time you change the mind, you change your body.

With the right attitude and faith “Dancing with the Spirit” opens the energy systems surfacing the multi-sensory child within and freeing all that is not for my highest good.

I feel so much better when I am able to rid myself of the cobwebs surrounding me in all layers of my being. I recovered from a stroke quickly because I was able to lie down and imagined my pink angel doing it for me, for I was unable to use my arms in this fashion. It only takes a minute and can be done with just your thoughts during a busy stressful day, to calm you, or even in the shower in the morning envisioning that the water is cleansing your aura.

Following are some suggestions on how to do this.

DANCING WITH SPIRIT

You may be seated, stand, or lay down.

Light some candles.

Put on some meditative music.

Sit on a stool that has no arms.

Set an intention to clear your aura of all entities and negativity.

Slowly … rhythmically, roll your shoulders, loosen up. Take a deep sigh and drop the shoulders relaxing the whole body. Do this several times.

Let your body sway to the music.

Lift your arms into the air.

Open your hands.

Feel the air around you. Slowly try to feel the differences in the air. Some feelings you may sense are heaviness, warmth, cold. This is your aura, energy field, your spirit. Dance in it.

Dance with your arms, or imagine doing so.

Start ever so slowly with the music, from the top above you, slowly, gently, flowing with your intuition, dance with your arms from the top to the bottom. As if you are showering the air around you. Over and over, bring your hands through the aura and slowly brush it down and away from you. If you feel like grasping something do so, then toss it gently away from you, asking God to take it where it will do no harm.

Conclude with silent meditation, as you continue to bathe in the healing grace of a profound cleansing and heightened awareness of the One. I encourage you to practice this Healing Ritual daily.

Use this time to explore new feelings and also to deepen your own traditions.

Meditation and aura cleansing promote healing of body, mind and soul. It revitalizes you. By expanding your acceptance of this concept and by applying these practices daily in your own life, you can begin to trust that you have the ability to bring healing to others, as well as yourself. In meditation and aura cleansing you replace darkness with light and heal the illusion that you are separate from God. In this sense, healing is a way of living and sharing that can be learned, and practiced anywhere, anytime, by anyone.

Praise be to you, O God!
Like the dawn that wakens life on earth,
Your healing light drives darkness out …
Ignites in us a holy birth.

With purpose, strong and pure,
We cast impurities away;
We bring the living light of God
Into ourselves today.

Praise be to you, O God!
Like the dawn that wakens life on earth,
Your healing light drives darkness out …
Ignites in us a holy birth.

brain waves Stress Reducer Tools – Helpful Tools To Reduce Your Stress Levels

Leave a reply

If you have experienced any combination of the symptoms listed below, it’s time to take immediate steps to rectifying your daily routine and managing your stress and anger. When your reactions are constantly negative in stressful situations, it means you have an anger management problem.

Consistent headaches at the back of your forehead and in an arched “band” from ear to ear
Insomnia
Feelings of unexplained frustration
Focusing difficulties
Isolation
Stomach problems and ulcers
High blood pressure and panic or anxiety attacks
Temporary verbal abuse hurled against other people
Violence – breaking or destroying personal items, lashing out with arms or legs etc
Here are some excellent stress reducer tools for you to consider.

Physical activity: this is probably the last on your mind after a long grueling day of butting-heads in office. But, the truth is, exercise helps to increase your blood flow to the brain and heart, boosts your energy, and revives you. You can simply take a brisk walk along the road or sprint a little. Some basic stretching exercises would also help. Special exercises to reduce stress can be followed if you feel the stress levels are just too high for normal treatment.

Meditate: you don’t need to meditate like a monk, because meditating is not just about trying to be enlightened. Meditation is about relaxing and calming your mind, so even if you sit in a quite area at home, put on some soothing music, close your eyes and enjoy the serenity, you are meditating. Meditation is among the best stress reducer tools you can learn to use.

Write: when you stressed out, write down why you feel so. Writing things down will help you to get a breakdown of everything you are feeling at the moment and reading it back to yourself, you’ll realize the reasons and be able to think about it all in a more practical way.

Eat Healthy: stress can be aggravated by poor eating habits. If you are the type of person who drops in at the supermarket to pick up an instant meal, take a good look at the food labels on them. Majority contain high sodium, fat and sugar levels. These foods are the worst you can feed your already energy-starved body and will do nothing to help your stress levels reduce.

Say No: as a human being, there’s only so much you can take and do within a specific time period. So, if you believe you’ve reached your limit, accept it and say no to anything extra.

If ordinary stress reducer tools do not seem to help and are gaining no results, seek professional help.

Tip 3. Go for a short walk

Do not underestimate the power of exercise. Even if you can only make it 5 minutes, to go up the block and back, this is better than nothing at all. Of course outside in the fresh air is the most beneficial, however if the weather is inclement, then jog on the spot or do some jumping jacks indoors.

Tip 4. Listen To Your Favorite Music

Who isn’t touched by their favorite song. Turn up the volume and sing along at the top of your voice. The car is a great place to do this. It will leave you feeling in a great mood.

sleep meditation Exercise and Anxiety

Leave a reply

Its obvious that anxiety is becoming an increasing problem in today’s world. Physicians are prescribing anti-anxiety medicines at an increasing pace. Self-help programs to reduce anxiety are filling up the bookstore shelves. Guru’s are selling their own versions of anti-anxiety programs online and through infomercials. So obviously the problem exists, and its quite large in number.

Why is anxiety so pervasive in today’s culture, whereas in the past it was much less of a problem? Well, I won’t go into painstaking detail about each of the reasons, but simply mention some of them below:

1. A fast-paced culture where “numbers are everything” and nothing matters but “results”.

2. Over stimulation by tv, internet, media, cell phones, music, video games, and every other technological device we surround ourselves with.

3. Financial stress due to the increased costs of living from gas, food, rents, entertainment, and fear of not being able to retire with enough money to live comfortably.

4. Depressing news from around the world of wars, conflict, strife, disease, instability, overpopulation, declining resources and energy, etc.

5. Not enough time during the day or work to escape our self-imposed rat race and quiet our minds to free them of the above strains and worries.

So after looking at just some of the reasons, and individual circumstances may impose much more than simply the general sources above, what is most important is that we have some sort of plan to help combat the negative effects of this increased anxiety.

Anxiety and stress can wreak havoc on our mental and physical lives. Hormones, some of which may be damaging, are released into our bloodstreams and overstimulate our systems, one example being the “fight or flight response”. However, most of us are not immediately involved in a “fight”, and therefore the stress is not dissipated or metabolized or otherwise compensated for by our bodies.

What happens from this “slow drizzle” of stress throughout our day (and week) is that muscles get tightened, possibly producing fatiguing byproducts, our thoughts run too rapidly through our brains and we have a general “on edge” feeling that may last all day, all week, or longer.

The only solution that I’m here to talk about today is exercise. Obviously, medications, meditations, relaxing past-times and hobbies, etc. are suitable solutions, but I want to address something that everybody can do, should do, and works in probably 95% of all cases where it is attempted properly.

My favorite type of exercise for reducing stress and anxiety is kickboxing. All boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts are good, but I want to focus on a kickboxing routine on the heavy bag, whether its done at home or at a gym. Here’s some good things about it:

Firstly, there is usually stretching or some type of loosening up or flexibility exercises performed. As the stress and anxiety throughout the day has lead to tightened (possibly shortened) muscles, this act of elongating the muscles/joints/body parts can have the effect of releasing some of the stored up stress in our bodies. When your body is loose, flexible, and supple, suddenly you’re not feeling quite as “on edge” as you were before. (Lets say here that we’ve achieved a 5% reduction in anxiety… So far, so good.)

Next, there is some sort of drill or shadow boxing or technique practice, where you’re repeating a movement many times and allowing your mind to start focusing more on what you’re doing NOW, rather than on the outside concerns of the day. And, this “moving around” is also eating up some of your energy, some of which is coming from “bad stored-up places” in your muscles and nervous system. Your body is becoming even more loosened up, your circulatory system is beginning to flow at an increasing pace, your heart and lungs are working a bit harder. (Maybe by now you’ve reduced your anxiety another 5 or 10%).

One caveat: all of this exercise must be done with a very purposeful intent of NOT thinking about outside concerns and worries. Every time you sense yourself beginning to give your attention to your own problems or worries, you must immediately reign in your mind and thoughts and ONLY think about the exercise you’re doing. This is more difficult than it sounds, but is a principle that pays off one hundred fold when adhered to.

Now we move to our rounds of performing techniques, or combinations of techniques, on the heavy bag itself. Our hands are wrapped up, our gloves are on, the timer is set to tell us when each 3-minute round begins and ends, and we’re ready to REALLY experience a massive “anxiety dump”! By “anxiety dump”, I mean transferring our stored-up nervousness right into the bag. Of course, not all of it goes into the bag. Some of it is “eaten up” by your muscles working. Kickboxing involves all of your major muscle groups: your leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, and calves) are pumping (contracting and releasing) as you’re moving back and forth and around the heavy bag. Your shoulder, chest, and arm muscles are pumping as you’re punching into the bag. Straight punches use more of your shoulders and triceps, and hook punches use a lot of chest and biceps. All of your core muscles are being forcefully engaged as you’re twisting certain shots into the bag, and as they have to steady your entire upper body each time you are punching and kicking. You see, the bag doesn’t just sit there: it actually is PUSHING BACK on you with as much force as you’re punching or kicking into it (thanks to Newton)!

As your muscles and cardio respiratory system are working so fast and furiously, all that stored anxiety is getting used up/transferred out/metabolized/dissipated/etc. Your brain is releasing its own “good” chemicals too (endorphines), so not only is it “out with the bad” but also “in with the good”. As long as you can keep up a workout that lasts 30-45 minutes or so, it will be long enough to really let yourself escape into the workout world, fatigue your muscles and body in a good way, get your lungs pumping good oxygen-rich blood throughout your system, and have your brain release some good chemicals.

Not only by its physical effects, but there are psychological factors at work here too. You’re feeling a bit better about yourself BECAUSE YOU’RE EXERCISING, so you’re accomplishing one of your goals. You’re losing fat. You’re toning and strengthening your body. You’re gaining skill. You’re using your time wisely. You’re making yourself more attractive. And the list could go on, and will vary according to each person. (Maybe you should write your own list).

I can tell you from personal experience, both my own and of my clients, that a 45-minute heavy bag workout can, and usually will, take your anxiety down from an 8, 9, or 10 level, and drop it ALL the way down to a 1 or 2. This is a significant achievement! This effect can last all the way from a few hours to many hours. So what happens when you’re anxiety comes back? Well, you schedule another session! I try to do one of these sessions every other day. Being on a consistent exercise schedule allows you to systematically quell, quench, and release the ugly negative effects of anxiety, and put your system in a more positive healthy state. The long-term effects of anxiety on your physical and nervous system are not good. I don’t know what diseases or ailments they can ultimately lead to, and much of it is probably up for debate. But I don’t think there’s any debate about whether its good or bad. Its bad, and we need to do something about it. One thing we can definitely do is exercise. So do it! And if you want a GREAT program, I recommend the one that I designed for myself and my clients. However, if you can’t hang up or access a heavy bag, then you’ll need to find something else. If you don’t exercise now, just start by walking (5 times per week), then slowly increase your intensity and activities. But most importantly, find something you LIKE! If you have to dread your exercise program, it will soon cease being the great anxiety-antidote you were looking for, and become just one more thing you’re stressed about!

brain waves You Should Try Self Hypnosis

Leave a reply

“If there is anything you’d like to change that is interfering with your life, hypnosis can help,” explains self hypnosis instructor Ruth Guedes of New Haven, Connecticut. “What your mind can conceive, you can achieve.” She notes that the process works rather quickly and she has never seen a patient more than six times.

She plays soothing music while reading from a script that will put subjects into a state of trance and take them on a journey through flower-filled fields and endlessly flowing streams. In the process, participants wash away fears and anxieties and create alternate futures, she says.

There are several common mistakes people make when trying to hypnotize themselves. You might find that you are trying to force yourself to imagine something that doesn’t come naturally or are over-analyzing the process. Instead, you will want to be sure you are completely relaxed first, before you allow your mind to wander. Start by counting backwards while breathing deeply, as this is a classic trick to deepen relaxation. With each count, you are going deeper and deeper, and before you know it, you’ll be in a state of trance!

Now that you are in a suggestible, emotional state, you can begin using “I” phrases to affirm what you wish to learn. Some people prefer to spend this time imagining themselves achieving their goals instead. Others still might want to play a tape with someone else’s voice guiding their positive thinking here. To awaken from your trance, tell yourself you will feel refreshed and fully awake at the count of three.

Another commonly practiced form of self hypnosis is done with the help of trance music. This fast-tempo genre inspires people to dance as a means of letting their inhibitions go, which gets the heart rate pumping so the dancer experiences a dissociative sort of exercise “high.” At the same time, the progressive trance music inspires the mind to be more imaginative, much like classical music, and the dancer will feel a marked spiritual shift toward an overwhelming feeling of connectedness in the presence of others.

Practiced at clubs, raves or workshops, trance dance hypnosis has its roots back in ancient shaman rituals and African dance. There is no “right” way to dance, so it is easy for anyone to do. The important thing is that you close your eyes, focus on the beat of the music and let your mind wander freely.

Meditation music is music performed to aid in the practice of meditation. It can have a specific religious content, but also more recently has been associated with modern composers who use meditation techniques in their process of composition, or who compose such music with no particular religious group as a focus.

So mom to be! It’s your pregnancy phase and your mornings are no longer good mornings, rather they are bad mornings. Even in the daytime whenever you wake up from a nap after dreaming about your little bundle of joy, you find that you are down with nausea during pregnancy, an uneasy feeling of discomfort. Don’t worry, relax. Here are some tips to minimize this temporary rough patch which sometimes tries to overshadow the beautiful experience of motherhood during pregnancy.
Pregnancy cannot be separated from morning sickness or nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, or pregnancy sickness. If any mom-to-be is feeling well and rosy during the entire pregnancy period, she should consider herself lucky but in most cases (between 50 and 95 percent of all pregnant women) morning sickness is termed the bitter part of pregnancy. It is, at the same time, a natural phenomenon during pregnancy so there isn’t much to worry about. Morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, though it occurs most often upon waking.

Morning sickness usually starts in the first month of pregnancy, peaking in the fifth to seventh weeks, and continuing until the 14th to 16th week of pregnancy. For half of the sufferers, it ends by the 16th week of pregnancy. It may take others up to another month to get relief. Some women suffer intermittent episodes throughout their pregnancy.

The exact reason of nausea during pregnancy is not known yet. According to experts, it is most probably due to raised hormonal level i.e. human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) during pregnancy. There could be other reasons too, such as :-

An increase in the circulating level of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen levels may increase by up to a hundredfold during pregnancy.
Fall in blood sugar during pregnancy.

An increase in progesterone relaxes the muscles in the uterus, but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids during pregnancy .

An increase in sensitivity to odors during pregnancy, which over stimulates normal nausea triggers.

Few time tested remedies to deal with morning sickness during pregnancy, and which are also endorsed by grannies, are offered.

Avoid an empty stomach in the pregnancy period. Take toast preferably made of coarse grain with milk or tea on an empty stomach; or a glass of water with biscuit before you rise from bed. Through the day, drink plenty of fruit juice, buttermilk or skimmed milk.

Don’t cut out on meals or food- instead eat less but at short intervals. Else throwing up can leave you dehydrated, harming the baby too.

Focus on high carbohydrate food- whole meal bread, potatoes, brown rice, cereals. Eating five or six small meals per day, rather than three large ones throughout the pregnancy will certainly ease your nausea problem.

Avoid greasy or fried food during pregnancy, as these take longer to digest.

Don’t lie down right after you eat during pregnancy, it will make you uncomfortable.

In pregnancy period don’t indulge in over work. Take all the rest you can. There is nothing like a good sleep. A nap too will make you feel better.

Ginger, in capsules, tea or in any form helps a lot in pregnancy sickness.

Vitamin B6 and zinc are known to reduce nausea, but take them under expert medical guidance. Alternatively take a banana, raisin or hazelnut. They are wonderful remedies for reducing nausea during pregnancy.

Lemons, particularly the smell of freshly cut lemons, might refresh you during pregnancy.

Drink liquids 30 to 45 minutes after eating solid food as this aids in digestion during pregnancy.

More often than not, the desire to vomit is quelled by these simple measures. If not, the doctor can counter nausea with certain medicines. Also request your doctor to prescribe medicines for acidity, pain, and discomfort during pregnancy.

Do adequate light exercise. Start slowly and work yourself up to a tempo. Exercise reduces unwanted fat, particularly in the last trimester of pregnancy. Studies shows nausea can be reduced by regular mild exercises such as walking. Walking therapy will definitely make you feel good especially if you are residing by some green patch. Be one with nature and enjoy cool relaxed walking.

Pregnancy is a time to enjoy and not to be stressed out. Make your pregnancy a beautiful and celestial experience. God has been very kind to women because he has bestowed the right of creating living humans to women alone, and you create a beautiful new life out of your own blood and flesh.

Brainwave Entrainment Natural Remedies for Eczema

Leave a reply

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

There are things in life that one cannot escape from. For some of us, eczema seems to be on that list. This skin problem can be caused by many things such as allergy to food or cloth, an imbalance of fatty acids and even stress.

My two daughters are already an example of eczema victims who get it because of different reasons. My eldest daughter gets it when she is stressed out. If there’s an upcoming exam that she knows she’s not well-prepared with, I can almost guarantee you that her anxiety will extend to her skin and a flare-up will soon be our problem again. My second daughter gets her eczema from food. You can expect a flare up extending to the skin on the face after a few hours of eating just a leg of chicken.

This is the reason why I have done my best to research on the natural remedies for eczema. Most doctors have recommended steroids and medicines that have their own side effects if taken too often for a certain period of time. Sometimes, the flare ups will respond to these treatments but there are times that these are not enough. Secondly, these prescribed drugs can be very expensive! If you are rich then good for you but for me, the side effects still matter especially when the price is already too high as it is. Here are some natural stuff you can do for both healing and preventing eczema.

1. When the blisters and redness are too much to bear, you can put a bit of milk on ice so that it cools for about a few minutes. Then soak a gauze or cotton pad into the very cold milk and place it on the affected areas. Leave it on for about 2 minutes and repeat the cycle over collectively for ten minutes.

2. Sea salt can also be scrubbed on the blisters and affected areas to promote better blood circulation and faster healing. I know it may sound painful but there are some who swear that this is very effective and relieving because it encourages the skin to secrete its natural oils. You just need to put together a couple of cups of fine sea salt, a quarter cup of olive oil or jojoba oil and a few drops of your favorite essential oil such as lavender (optional). Simply wet the affected area with warm water then gently scrub the salt mixture in a circular motion on the skin. Let it stay on the skin for a few moments and savor the tingling sensation before washing it off with plain warm water again.

3. Licorice root can also be used by putting it on the blisters and red skin. This herb can reduce the swelling and the itch.

4. Another concoction you can apply to the problem area is an equal combination of almond oil, rosehip seed oil and sesame oil.

5. Cod liver oil is a great help to balance the problem with fatty acids and can be taken a teaspoon a day.

6. Primrose oil taken 250 to 300 mg a day can help reduce the inflammation because it also known as a good herb to balance the problem of fatty acids.

7. Taking 50mg of grape seed extract thrice daily can help remove lessen the itch because of its antihistamine properties.

8. Licorice root can also be soaked in around ten ounces of water. Let it stand for a quarter of an hour before taking it orally thrice daily. Just take it moderately because it can result to high blood pressure.

9. Burdock Root Extract can also made into tea and can bring relief. Adults are advised to take it twice a day for a week and children may drink it one daily for the same period of time.

10. Lavender essential oil can also be used either as replacement for soap or an ingredient for a mist spray. Simply put three drops of its essential oil into the bath water and use this to clean the skin especially of children. As a spray, you can mix ten to twenty drops of the oil into 2 ounces of purified water.

11. Oatmeal can also be a great scrub and replacement to soap. Simply powderize oatmeal in a blender. Gather the pulverized oatmeal into a cotton handkerchief or gauze before dipping it in the water and gently scrubbing it all over the skin. Oatmeal is a great moisturizer.

12. The simplest way to prevent eczema is to drink plenty of water daily to ensure skin moisture.

13. It is also advisable to chart what you eat and discover what foods result to a break out on your skin. Some go as far as consulting with a dietician depending on the severity of their cases.

14. Always keep your beddings clean because dustmites are also a significant cause of eczema.

15. Make sure that your clothes and the textile that frequently rub your skin (hanky, beddings,etc.) are not synthetic fabrics because most patients of eczema are allergic to these.

16. Also try being conscious of your reaction to stress. Stress has been proven to cause eczema flare ups and finding ways to control pressure just might help lessen your skin problems. You may try meditating for relaxation daily. It may be hard so if you need help doing this, you can try getting some meditation cds that use brainwave technology. There are also many free ebooks on how to control stress from self-improvement gifts.com that you might want to check out.

There are many solutions that nature herself has produced for the things like eczema and it may be worthwhile to check on them instead of spending so much money of drugs that can also have side effects in the first place.

sleep meditation Top Ten Ways to Break the “Worry” Cycle

Leave a reply

In fact, research has shown the more we think of all the things that could go wrong, the more things do go wrong. It is time to stop the worry cycle and redirect your life.

Try this simple exercise; pick one thing you are worried about and allow yourself to feel all the emotions that come with your fear. Not such a good feeling is it?

Now, take that same worry and imagine that whatever negative outcome you have been thinking about will not, can not, happen. You will have an easy drive to work, you will have 15 minutes today to exercise, you will share a wonderful meal with family and the list goes on. That feels pretty good doesn’t it?

The only thing that changed was how you were thinking. You were sending positive emotions out and receiving positive emotions back.

Ten ways to break the worry cycle

1 Acknowledge a “worry” thought. In many cases simply being aware of these thoughts is enough to send them packing. Say “I am aware of this thought, but it does not control me”.
2 Release worry. Once acknowledged it is easier to allow the worry to be released. Here you would say “I release the worry and allow positive insight to replace it”.
3 Accept. Accepting a worry thought does not mean you allow it to overwhelm you, it only means that you accept that you have this thought. You are also accepting other thoughts, ones with more positive feelings.
4 Ask yourself if worrying feels good or bad. While this may sound like a no-brainer because of course worrying feels bad, it is a good exercise to bring you back in line with positive emotions.
5 Pretend you are someone else with this particular worry and think of what advice you might give that “other” person. Chances are you would be supportive and offer uplifting advice, so go ahead and do the same for your self.
6 Remove yourself from the situation. Get outside and go for a walk, listen to music or ride your bike. Activity increases endorphins.
7 Keep a journal just for worry thoughts. Once you write it down, resolve to let the thought go for awhile. It might surprise you to find that days later when you happen to look at the last worry entry, it has become a non-issue.
8 Writing a worry down on a piece of paper and throwing it away is also a great way to break the worry cycle. This is great to do at work, just make sure you throw your worries away where no one will find them!
9 Meditate. You do not need to spend hours in meditation, a few minutes will do. To get started just have one pleasant thought to focus your attention on. It may be something that you have experienced, or something you would like to experience. The important thing here is to feel the good emotions that come with your thought.
10 Count your blessings. This simple exercise affirms all that is good in your life. It replaces negative feelings with positive feelings.
