Brain Balancing Exercises For Autism, ADD, ADHD,

This morning I found a video playlist on youtube,com about brain balancing exercises for children labeled with learning disabilities. I have two members of my family who can benefit from this information. Our schools and parents could benefit from this information. People who learn these methods can step forward and help others with this information.

The playlist I have below has exercises that retrain the brain to connect right and left hemispheres. Many benefits can come from doing these like being able to feel calm, longer attention span, better communication skills, better reading and comprehension, spelling and writing ability as well as improved immune function, co-ordination, well-being and more.


 Exercising the brain takes repetition to train and rewire how the brain works but these are fun and the time spent with your kids is so worth it. 3 times a week so the brain can rest.
Here is a playlist link of brain balancing Exercises.

Below is a youtube.com video link of the playlist of these exercises.

Healing Without Medicine

Taoist Master, Yun Xiang Tseng, a child prodigy from the ancient Wudang Mountains demonstrates 4 movements ( in the second link called Stillness in Motion) combining inhalation and exhalation along with mental visualization. Select two times a day for this internal "medicine " discipline of the masters and feel your body respond. Be patient with yourself and move only as is comfortable. This man is a Master of his art so maybe your twisting is only 1/4 or 1/8 or just a thought in your head. Yes, this can also be done with the mind until you feel you can move. One day at a time with diligent practice, you will feel more energy and the beneficial blood flow and cleansing of the kidneys, liver, and heart.

Healing Without Medicine
Interesting philosophy shared by Taoist Master, Yun Xiang Tseng.

Your Tool Box Is Your Treasure

What do you have in your tool box for self care? Do you have one?

I remember my teacher telling us "When you are having a challenge, dump  your tool box out onto the floor and throw out what is not working for you."

This tool box is very important. I remember when I did not have one or know what to put in it if I did have one. When I learned how to help myself heal and be well, I made this site so I could share all these wonderful techniques with you. The Tool Box is imaginary yet the things inside, we hold in our physical mind. The things inside hold the techniques and practices that empower us for wellness and well-being.

What would you put inside your tool box for emergencies, emotional upsets, strained relationships with yourself and others, pain, injuries, illness, dis-ease, fear and stress? There are many ideas on this site. Look through this site Deborah's Little Gems or in the labels on the right column. and Find the techniques you enjoy and are effective for you. Bookmark them and create an imaginary Tool Box to place them in. And when we get a bit out of sorts, or bang our knee into a chair or stress out over the holidays, your Tool Box is right there with just the right techniques to use to assist you in what ever way you need.

For example in my Tool Box I have some exotic favorite therapies like:

• Reiki for self care
• EFT( Emotional Freedom Technique)
• Dynamind
• Jin Shin Jyutsu
• Quantum Entrainment and 2 Point

I also have the basics like:

• Breathing
• Meditation

When I take a fall or stub my toe I have all these tools to keep my body balanced, to keep my mind free of worry and energize myself. These techniques minimize bruising, reduce bleeding, reduce stress and help healing.

Creating A Tool Box:

 Mine is an imaginary treasure chest of sorts. One that belonged to pirates and had been used to hold secret notices and perhaps rubies and gold. You imagine your own.

 It could be for example:

•  silver, wood, brass, or glass.
•  plain, carved or decorated with bright jewels or sea shells. 
• It could be specially fashioned by angels, fairies, gods, goddesses, or spiritual guides. 
• It could be lined with red velvet or encrusted with diamonds
• It could be antique or modern
• it could be a tackle box with tiny compartments or a jewelry box or treasure chest

You create it the way you desire.This is creative visualization.


Let us hold an intention that once we imagine our newly created Tool Box it will be recalled immediately for our own enjoyment and benefit. We can enjoy this treasure chest of techniques and practices and apply what is inside!


Thank you for visiting us here on Deborah's Little Gems
I enjoyed writing this post immensely

Multiple Sclerosis Meets Energy Medicine

Donna Eden

Donna Eden, a great pioneer in energy medicine, went through her childhood and early adult years with Multiple Sclerosis, severe food allergies, hay fever, asthma, hypoglycemia. The doctors couldn't help her. Then one day she stumbled into energy healing and she started to heal herself. She has no multiple sclerosis anymore, a 'disease' that is thought to be incurable. Over the years she developed her own system of energy healing which is now teaching to other people. She has published a book and DVD's that explain how you can cure yourself by bringing your energy systems back into harmony. Her website: http://www.innersource.net/innersource/ She has several interesting videos up on YouTube, just type in her name. And you can also find them here on this site along with her energy medicine kit and books.

Energy Yawn

Energy Yawn for mental alertness. This really ROCKS !

Perform the energy yawn for a simple exercise to loosen the muscles of your face and mouth, improving relaxation and blood flow to the area surrounding the brain. While sitting comfortably, use both of your hands to lightly massage the muscles surrounding the cheekbones and the jaw. Use mild to moderate pressure, focusing on the task at hand and ignoring everything else. Continue this massage for two to three minutes. Afterward, you should feel relaxed and prepared to learn. This feels so freeing and wonderful.

The yawn is easy to repress in public but this little exercise feels so relaxing! Everyone will react differently but after I did the exercise I yawned and yawned releasing all that tension that I was unaware of in my face and jaw muscles. Try it and let me know what you think in the comments below. Have a great day and thank you for stopping by Deborahs Little Gems.

How to Calm and Relax Your Anxiety, Panic or Stress

This video shows an easy method to calm and comfort ourselves during stress. It is a natural response to stress to place our hands here.  Dropping a plate, winning a contest, making a big mistake are a few that trigger stress and this natural response. Now that we know it calms us we can use this method to bring quick relief. It feels very good. Relax your shoulders, breath slowly and enjoy. This is also a a position used in Reiki for self care and treating others. So you can help your family and friends release tension also by placing your hands lightly on these two areas of the head while standing to the side of them. Isn't it wonderful to know we have a natural way to help ourselves release stress and also comfort ourselves and others?

ACUPRESSURE - EASY AND EFFECTIVE

Note:
Names have been changed.

Abby had insomnia due to some radical changes in her life which caused stressed. She couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts and she couldn't relax. Sound familiar? We all experience a sleepless night  from time to time but when it continues over a long period of time we begin to lose our natural bearings in every aspect of our life. Her concentration was impaired, her immune system was challenged, she became grouchy, out of sorts and had bouts of depression. Abby wasn't herself. She made an appointment for her general practitioner.

She came home with a handful of pills to help with depression. The pills caused her legs to become numb, her hands tremble and she experienced dizziness and had to sit to avoid fainting or falling. The side effects of the pills were worse than her original complaint. She returned to the doctor and told him of her reaction to the pills. The doctor slid over to the counter, pulled open a drawer and took out several packages of samples.

from the doctor's drawer

Abby was shocked at the next batch of pills and asked, "Is this is a hit and miss type of thing?". The doctor rephrased it by saying well, we just need to try some other medicine.

 Abby decided not to take the pills. Her friend Betsy gladly offered to give her a full body acupressure treatment. Betsy had taken a 16 hour course in Full Body Acupressure Treatment. Acupressure is similar to Acupuncture without the needles. Firm gentle pressure is applied to special areas on the body to cleanse accumulated stress and restore balance to the energy systems within the body. Abby felt immediate results. She was so relaxed at her first treatment she fell comfortably asleep. She received 4 treatments in 2 weeks. Abby looked forward to each session.

Betsy also taught Abby's husband to do a simple treatment on Abby's hand at night when they went to bed. Abby would lie down by her husband and raise her nearest hand over to her husband who lovingly took her hand and laid it on a soft pillow over his belly. He then began to perform this simple acupressure treatment. Abby fell asleep after 7 of the 12 points. Her husband continued till he was done with all 12. Every night he helped her. Abby was sleeping through the night. Her husband found that doing the treatment relaxed him as well. Abby also learned how to do these 12 points on herself.

This is a true story. And what a beautiful story. This therapy helped Abby with all her symptoms. I want to show you also how to help yourself , a friend or a family member.

Important *Always consult your general practioner if you are seriously ill. This article is not to diminish the value of conventional healthcare. This report is to educate and reveal the wonderful opportunites we have to chose from. It is my hope that patients ask for safe alternative drug-free therapies just like we ask for better products and services in everyday life. It is time to incorporate the whole body in what we are experiencing as dis-ease.

WHEN NOT TO USE ACUPRESSURE     Note: There are other safe alternative therapies that can be used in these cases to bring relief to insomnia.

1. Do not apply acupressure to any open cuts or where there is swelling or inflammation.
2. Avoid scar tissue, boils, blisters, rashes and burns.
3. Do not apply pressure on varicose veins.
4. If the recipient has high blood pressure or epilepsy do not apply pressure to the top of the head.
5. Do not apply pressure to elderly, young children, or those with arthritis or osteoporosis.I use acupressure on my 12 year old grandson and he loves it.
6. If a person has a serious illness like cancer or heart disease. have them obtain a doctor's approval before giving any bodywork.
7. If a person has a fever or any kind of infection, from cold or flu to an ear infection, do not work on them until the infection is gone. Acupressure stimulates the the flow of the circulatory and lymphatic systems and can spread the infection.
8. This does not imply to these specific hand points. But for a full body treatment read further.If a woman is pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, make sure of the areas to avoid. Acupressure in certain areas can cause uterine contractions and can inhibit or endanger pregnancy.

Here are some Jing Well points. Do not perform #7 if you are pregnant.

PALM RIGHT HAND (SAME FOR LEFT HAND)

• Press on each point, beginning at #1 using the tip of the thumb or index finger. It is important to trim the thumb and index nails.  Be sure to carefully gage how much pressure the recipient can handle by asking "How is this? Is it too hard?" etc.  acupressure points are places along the energy channels of the body that are close to the surface. Press straight down using the tip of the finger. Do not bend the thumb or index finger back at the knuckle. Practice on an orange or lemon.

• When pressing on these acupressure points the recipient will know if you are on target because the point has a definite tight sensation to it. Especially on 7,8,11 and 12. Concentrate on the tip of your finger while pressing and you may feel the energy there.

•  Begin at the base of each finger and gently squeeze upward towards the tip of the finger. Begin your pressure very, very gently like a butterfly landing on the point, then firmly press down. Ask the recipient if the pressure is too hard or too soft. Hold each point for 15-30 seconds. Use slow complete breaths to measure the time. 3 slow breaths are usually 15 seconds. Lift your finger off the point very gently. Then proceed to the next point.

• Practice makes perfect. The more you review this technique by doing, the easier it becomes. This treatment is so relaxing and it is a form of meditation.
