-- Quote of the Day -- “… Laughing makes fresh air into the lungs, oxygen enters the brain so we can thing clearer; it is a muscle relaxer… and every muscle in the body gets a workout - it is very much like an aerobic exercise. The thing about it though is that you don’t have to go out and buy running shoes or invest in a rowing machine; you just laugh! ...The 5 stages of grief go like this: acknowledging the loss, learning from the experience, letting go, living and finally laughing. We do indeed learn from those before us – Someone we love dies and it is upsetting, but their spirit is still there and we are left with these wonderful – and not so wonderful – memories. But it is all about attitude …” ~ Allen Klein - Humor Healing Grief * Today's quote originates from the Jan 10th episode of the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show - find the full interview via the link below: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/consciousdiscussions/2012/01/10/humo...

Even Angelina (Jolie) will tell you that Brad has a behavior or two that annoys and frustrates her. In the beginning of a marriage an annoying behavior is not as magnified as it becomes later on. We are in that honeymoon phase where "leaving one's clothes thrown on the bathroom floor" is tolerable. Maybe, we surmise, the habit will go away - out of nowhere he or she will start putting the clothes in the hamper vs. the floor.  For the one who tolerates this habit for several years, it often becomes a pain, a sore, and then a blister -an open wound. It is a natural thing to reach a point, of wanting things to change. Physical blisters can be healed, and so can marriage blisters. ...

-- Quote of the Day --    “…Neurofeedback is biofeedback – it has been around for a very long time. The difference is just what part of the body you are giving feedback to. And it literally is feedback – in the same way that you use feedback to children to teach them such as saying don’t or from natural consequences (like touching a hot stove, we learn when it is red it is hot and not to touch that. …So what happens with Neurofeedback we are able intentionally give feedback to the neuronal activity in the brain at such a quick pace (a millisecond) – we can say ‘not so much of that’, or ‘a little more please’. We want to see a balance in the brain wave activity. …(In dealing with other children when we have special kids) …it is really about weaving it together; being inclusive and using every opportunity. Let’s say you are taking Sara along when Bobby is going to therapy. So you can have Sara bring along her homework that you two can concentrate on whi...
