Stress and Children

My article about stress and children recently got published on ezinearticles.com.  Here are a few salient points.

Think about a scenario. You are sitting on your chair thinking about an issue at work. Your child comes and shows his or her drawing to you. He/She is very excited that it was one appreciated in the class by the teacher. How would you react in this situation?

On the other hand, think that instead of thinking about work issue, you were thinking about options for next vacation destination. Would your response be different? If yes, then your stress is affecting your child even if there is no trigger for stress outburst.

What to do?
The only way is to find a mechanism to get rid of stress before facing your children during the end of the day.

How to get rid of stress?
There are a number of ways to get rid of your stress. Depending on your schedule and facilities available around you can choose one or more ways. You can have a light walk, exercise, play a sport, meditate or something similar. These are the ways in which you can independently get rid of your stress energy.

Can external agency help get rid of my stress?
Yes, you can use energy medicine. Call up your energy medicine practitioner friend and tell him or her to flush out stress from the body. Before you reach home, you are as good as new. Depending on the method the energy medicine practitioner uses, you might have to give some time to the process.

Make sure you are clean from stress energy so that your children are not affected and they get better supportive and motivating environment to grow and develop.

If you are online at work and have 15 minutes before you log off, just visit the Vitality Cafe and get recharged before even you step out of the office.

The Vitality Cafe is an online cafe that provides distant healing service. You can have a video or a chat session or have it as you like. Have your stress cleaned up and you can feel as if you had a body massage or a facial. Visit http://thevitalitycafe.weebly.com/the-cafe.html for more information.

The Vitality Cafe

The Vitality Cafe - http://thevitalitycafe.weebly.com is my answer to the calling that has been pushing me since long.

I have been just working on this in a single direction not knowing why and what could be the result.  Surprisingly, this has turned out to be a very smart project.

Just day before yesterday, I blurted out about this to my husband.  It just came out and to my surprise, he was very very positive about taking this forward.  This positive nod just quadrupled my energy.

This is just amazing.  All the guys reading this, your positive nod matters a lot for your wives.  Just believe me it does.

I have been tempted to write more and more on this and work more on this.  I just wish this kicks off and my gut feeling says this will because you know this is the Calling!

Serenity

While one practices the healing, one becomes more and more sensitive to the energy of people. It becomes easier and easier to connect with others as the practice continues. This easier connection leads to better empathy - putting ones own self in others' shoes. This empathy then grows and grows. At this point, it is important for the healer to practice self cleansing, otherwise one may get negativity from the people they are trying to heal.

As the empathy grows, one can easily connect with the people around them in day to day activities. One gets easily connected with people they meet and understand them better - because they can empathize with them!

The result? There is better understanding and harmony around them. This results in deeper and deeper penetration of happiness which I call "Serenity"

Happiness Deep Down

There are some things that you do and it gives you happiness so deep down that you cannot describe it.  It is a wonderful feeling.  Somehow it is so much peace, serenity really really really inside of you.

I cannot say where because it is really deep. 

It is a blessing to have found out activities that give you this blissful feeling.

Yes, I have found it. 

I will not write more on it, but just share a smile/laugh with the following related story.

A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" "Oh, that?" she said.  "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."

Feeling great to be nearing to the good old self again

Feeling amazingly refreshed after this workout.  This workout has proven to be a life saver for me more than once.  Thank you Diane Youdale.

It is really a great feeling to be back to the old self.  I also opened my Orkut account after so many days.  Somebody has rightly said,  "Never let the child inside you grow up"  I have realized this more after almost a year and a half of marriage.

Truly, it takes work to stay in marriage.  Sometimes people change so much that they loose themselves and then it is very hard to find what they like and what they do not.  Some of our mothers have been through this.

Our generation is fortunate that we have this so called Internet that connects us to old friends, help keep in touch with hobbies and lots more.  I feel it is a great medium to keep myself grounded at the same time it is tied with the danger to have oneself lost in something that is not good.  But it is like science, good as well as bad.  We need to make sure what we want out of it and have good control (self control).

Feeling like I did not sleep, but not tired...

Have you ever felt this?

This is the feedback I received recently from doing energy work on one of my friends.

She said, I woke up in the morning feeling as if I did not sleep but not really tired!  She also felt this is very funny. 

This is what happens in this world of Energy Medicine.  That is why I love it.  Every time you get a different experience.  Just like in meditation.

Work like this makes you realize life is waiting with a lot of surprises for you.  Let it surprise, it is mostly worth enjoying.

Earlier, when I used to work on her, I would receive feedback like - I felt like I got a sound sleep in years :)

This time the physical issue seems similar to previous one, but I suppose the reason has changed.  We both will still be working together in the next week. 

Waiting for more surprises to come!

How Do You Recharge Yourself?

How do you keep yourself recharged? Especially at those times when you are not feeling good.
There are a number of ways. One of them is, physical exercise.

Physical Exercise
Whenever you feel lazy, exhausted or emotionally burdened or stressed, just give yourself a physical boost. Turn on Aerobics music and start dancing with it, play a sport like volley ball or whatever you like or just start hopping in your closed room. This will bring back the lost energy and to your surprise, you will feel refreshed and not discharged.

Music
Other method that some people prefer is soothing music or healing music. I usually start a particular kind of music and do my house work. I feel relaxed. This can also refresh you.

Write
You can also write down your feelings when you are drained emotionally. Just write everything down on a piece of paper and throw it away. You will feel really good. Writing works both ways. You can vent out negative feelings and send positive thoughts to your mind and have a better life.

Energy Medicine
You can call up your healer friend and tell, please do something. They can talk with you if possible and also send you healing using their own tools. You will definitely feel better.

One such online and real-time initiative is "The Vitality Cafe" Usually at work or at home, something happens - you fight with someone, you get some bad news and some how there is nobody to comfort you or you do not want to talk with some one you know. The sole purpose of creating this website is easy access to people in need of healing, comfort and refreshment from the negativity around.

Offline Healing
This is one more convenient option at services like these. You can just register yourself. There are a number of websites where they allow adding to free prayer list or distance healing service. One of them is "The Distance Healing Network". You sign up your name and send the problem. Volunteer Healers working on the website will send you healing.

You do not need to talk or face the person. You will be sent healing and informed about the time so that you are in a relaxed position during that time. Thats it! Done! Your problem can be solved in minutes. Sometimes you are refreshed and you will wonder I never even requested for it.
