"I really enjoyed the nine card reading.  It is clear and focused and provides complexity and lots of information.  It was with this reading that I first saw patterns across the cards - reading the cards together - providing me and my client with a fuller experience.  This is something that has greatly improved the quality of my readings.  Margie U.

FREEDOM FROM FEAR

A while ago, after a busy day of psycholtherapy practice, I contemplated fear's contribution to human problems.  In minutes, I lested more than one hundred kinds of fear people suffer from.  Clearly, fear plays a big role in our lives.

While true fear is a natural self-protective response to real danger, it too often takes other forms such as dread, anxiety, apprehension, trepidation, and causes much life failure.  It can cause us to ruin relationships;  miss financial opportunities;  resist facing health issues;  dysfunction sexually; avoid making good career moves... and so on.  There's no limit to the ill effects of fear and its related offshoots.

Fear is highly motivating.  Many who want to influence or control us count on this -- they use fear to empower themselves.  So, between our own tendencies toward fear and its provocative use by others, we're not as free-willed as we'd like to believe.  Fear is often the culprit that keeps us from choosing our best action and getting the most from life.

Conquering our fear is therefore necessary for life mastery.  And becoming a more livng and spiritally oriented person helps us greatly in this regard, for fear can not occupy the same space as love.  So it's wise to 'love thy enemy'  (or whatever threatens us),  not to be saintly, but to displace fear and free our will so we can coose to do what's best for us in each situation.

Children of all ages have stress just like adults.

Many of your children have been taking the standardized tests at school. Schools are all required to give state assessment tests. Pressure is being placed on the student to perform well on these state tests and they are often taking many practice tests throughout the year to prepare them for performance on the state exam.
Some other examples of school related stressors are for example, they may have stress in dealing with other students in different social situations, getting good grades and peer pressure. physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms in your child that you may not realize.

Stressors at home such as parents conflicts, moving, family financial problems, difficulty with social skills or interacting with siblings, a death of a family member, and health problems in family members may all cause added stress on your infant, child or teenager. There are environmental pressures such as lack of sleep and exercise, smoking in the household and poor diet that may also contribute to children’s stress.

Children may demonstrate a variety of physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, inability to sleep or excessive sleep, aches and pains. Some emotional symptoms of stress may include: lack of concentration, anxiety, withdrawing from others, crying, depression or aggressiveness. Behavioral changes in children who may be having difficulty with the stress in their lives may include: smoking, grinding teeth, overeating or not caring about their physical appearance.

Once you become concerned about how your child is reacting to stress and how much stresses your child may have to handle, it is suggested that you first listen to your child, talk to your child, allow uninterrupted time with your child and advise them calmly.

There are a variety of alternatives that are available to help your child to cope with stress. Massage for infants, children and teenagers are one alternative that is very effective in reducing stress. The Golden Light Wellness Center in Oxford offers infant and child massage instruction with a Registered Occupational Therapist/Certified Infant Massage Instructor, where the parent will learn how to give a massage to the infant or child. Once the strokes are taught to the parent, they may do massage as often as needed in their own home with their own child.

Some parents prefer a therapist to do the massage sessions, which is also available at the Wellness Center. Massage is also very effective with children who are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and have stress as well as difficulty calming to go to sleep at night.

Aromatherapy, another helpful alternative, using various oils such as lavender may calm your child before going to sleep at night. Playing soft music (without words) and a dream catcher in their room at night may also help with relaxation prior to bedtime. For more information on children’s stress, alternatives to help them cope with stress, and massage, you may contact the Golden Light Wellness Center in Oxford at 610-932-9511.
