I was personally very touched by this inspiring story as I watched it on
television last night (2/27/07); especially after I experienced a life altering injury which took me 2 years to recover from.
What I want to ask you is...
If you can't help out with the helmets, below for our military men, can
you volunteer or help our returning soldiers who are recovering with extreme traumatic brain injury?
Here are some links!
Check them out, I know that my family will be searching for a way we can help!
Those with a traumatic injury may develop mental health problems.
What is Operation Helmet?
Founded in 2003 by Dr. Robert H. Meaders whose grandson is an active duty Marine in Iraq, Operation Helmet is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization dedicated
to providing safer helmet pad upgrade kits to the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan.
To date, more than 6,000 kits have been shipped to the troops in the field.

about calm
Relaxing might simply involve just a little down time for you. But if
you need to find a deeper calmer
center, then these powerful techniques may help.
For some of us peace is quiet, it's harmony. For others calm is serene & smooth. For some people tranquility is restful stillness.
It can be useful to know if you sense peace thru hearing quiet or seeing serenity, or feeling serenity.
Consider how you know you're feeling calm & then create that in your environment. Best of all, create a quiet,
visually pleasant & physically relaxing situation before you try these techniques.
Here's some immediate
techniques to help you relax & some others that might help with more lasting change.
The simplest, fastest way to improve how
you feel is thru your breath.
This exercise was first introduced to us by Anthony Robbins,
but is originally based on the ancient tradition of prana.
Breathe
in as you count to 5, hold your breath for the count of 20 & breathe out as you count to 10.
Do it 10 times, at least.
The count doesn't have to be slow, do it comfortably, you may even count quite quickly.
It's the proportions of 1 to 4 to 2 that are important. If you do push this too hard, you may get a little light headed, but you're aiming to feel
'bubbly' with plenty of oxygen in your blood.
You need to try to keep your back straight as you do this, preferably sitting or standing up straight.
Loosen any tight clothing.
Try to breathe by expanding your
belly & using your diaphragm to pull air into your lungs rather than lifting your shoulders.
| when i saw the nanny teaching relaxation breathing |
|
| i was jumping for joy & felt so validated!!! |
Quite often when I offer relaxation breathing as
an option for people to learn in their attempts to control behavior - such as in "panic or anxiety attacks," or to generally "calm down"- people seem to always respond by gasping
or sighing & sarcastically saying -
"Oh I've tried that relaxation breathing &it just doesn't work for me!"
I have to respond with - "Oh really!? How long did you try to practice it?"
Attention All Super Nanny watchers!
She showed you all on national
television that relaxation breathing does work, is needed to be learned by all ages & can enhance your communication quality with your children!
This week's show
showed the Super Nanny teaching the mother in this particular family to teach her son to begin relaxation
breathing to calm down when he had an uncontrollable tantrum fueled by anger & rage.
This child's anger & rage stemmed from the fact that his parents were divorced. He simply couldn't grasp the concept & he was acting out to show how angry he was at his parents because of their hostile interaction in front of the children!
Before a parent can communicate with a children who is acting out, the child must calm down to be able to understand what is being communicated to him/her. Relaxation breathing is just one way to help your child with this. Relaxation breathing
is good for so many things where children are concerned.
I've always used it
for those "owies" that are hurting & disturbing to children. This helps them maintain control when they're hurt or not feeling good & helps them deal with pain management.
It's an excellent "positive coping mechanism!" to begin in childhood. Training your child to instantly resort to Relaxation Breathing will only benefit the
child for his/her entire life!

To achieve a productive state of awareness or to practice mindfulness, you must first become familiar with - CALM.
Like
an iceberg much of our brain is below the surface. No matter how smart you think you are - you probably can't turn this morning's breakfast into human skin & hair consciously.
Yet the powerhouse
of your brain is doing just that & far more all the time.
Your unconscious is registering
what's going on all the time & learning simple lessons about what's good for us &
what's not.
Sometimes we outgrow
those lessons, but often we ignore our inner wisdom when we shouldn't.
Your unconscious is your inner self, or perhaps inner selves, as there can be many parts that make up who we are deep down.
You
might like to ask your unconscious if it would like to communicate what the real problem you're facing is.
Don't ask yet what the problem actually is.
Be aware that often our unconscious tries
to communicate with our conscious mind, but doesn't get much of a hearing.
The unconscious
will pop up ideas, but because they're too familiar or distasteful we quickly swat them down.
After a while the subconscious
expects that, so you've got to promise that you'll give it attention.
As your unconscious for a signal, (a feeling that you can't consciously evoke), that it's willing to communicate.
Don't be surprised at the strength of the signal. Understand that the stronger the feeling the more important the message is. Don't be alarmed at tears, i.e., You
can regard any strong signal as indicating that you're on the right path.
Keeping
your mind very open & keeping it as quiet as
you can, ask your unconscious what the problem is.
Regard what comes into
your mind as a precious gift from yourself to yourself. Consider it for a moment & then thank your unconscious for communicating it.
Now ask your unconscious & all the parts of your inner self, if they can make arrangements among themselves to find some satisfactory solutions to the problem you face over the next few days.
Ask them to bring the solutions
to you as dreams, or ideas so that you can think about them.
Expect to get plenty of ideas over the next few days, some startling, some genuinely resonant with who you are. Ask yourself what the costs & consequences are of any action that you may consider.
When you do have a solid idea of what's right for you to do, ask your unconscious about it just
before you go to sleep & dream on it. Allow yourself some time on this decision, but don't postpone it forever.
Checking in with your intuition.
Using the same technique, ask your unconscious if it'll
give you signals for "yes & no."
If you get a positive response, then ask for a clear signal for 'yes'.
When you've got that feeling, take a break & do something different for a few moments. Then ask if your unconscious for a signal for 'no'.
You now have a clear channel of communication between your unconscious & your conscious. You may decide that you want to only use that for specific questions that
you consciously put to your inner self.
But you may also decide to open the door wide & ask your unconscious to clearly communicate the subtlety of its reactions to situations you find yourself in.
Cultivated carefully & especially with the use of a calm anchor, this makes for a powerful intuition.
Breaking
the cycle: the calming breaths.
There's
another description of this technique in the processes section. You might like to read that as an overview of how it
can be used for confidence. But here's how you can calm yourself in the
time it takes to take just 3 breaths.
Recall
at least 3 situations in which you've felt really calm.
Think of a time when you were 'in flow' with what was going on; a time when you felt very relaxed, perhaps on holiday & a time when you were very much at peace.
One at a time go back to each of those times. To start vividly
imagine being in the first situation; see what you saw then, hear what was around you then & remember any other physical
sensations - the feeling of your clothes, or any special aromas.
As you do that you'll notice the feeling of calm or peace coming back - concentrate
on that feeling as much as you can. As you begin to feel the feeling peak, take 3 deep breaths.
Now think of something else. Anything will do, as long as you change from the state you elicited. Then repeat the process for the other 2 memories, breaking between them.
The calming breaths are working when you feel a genuine flood of the calm
