Christmas is a time to reflect on LOVE and the joy and magic (and miracles) of creation
                            Anything is possible if done with a pure heart and a joy of life

Light Shining Through

Christmas Eve, in my house, is always full of the Christmas spirit. Family is together and carols are sung and played. This particular Christmas Eve was  interrupted with an urgent phone call.
   "Hello, C... speaking." I said joyfully, as I answered the phone. There was a pause and then, just as I was about to hang up, I heard a man`s voice. "We need your help urgently"  said the voice on the other end of the phone.
   "If you would be so kind  - could you please tell me what the problem is" I said calmly, "so that I can see if I can help you."
The man, who now was sounding agitated, actually quite frantic, then blurted out his problem without stopping for a breath. He was at his wits end.
   " It`s my daughter. We don`t know what to do." The caller stopped to catch his breath and then continued, "They discharged her from the psychiatric ward a few days ago. She won`t eat or talk to anyone and she doesn`t seem to recognize any of us." He now started crying, " She just sits bolt upright with a vacant look on her face and if we try to take her to the bathroom or get her to take her pills, or eat something, she physically attacks us. We don`t know what to do. Can you help us?"
  The girl`s father sounded very scared, frightened at doing the wrong thing and also frightened at what harm she might do to herself or to others. It turned out that the hospital had discharged most patients for the Christmas break, sending them home to family.  All the rest of his family was coming the next day to celebrate Christmas. Everyone was coming for Christmas dinner, or should I say lunch? I asked him where he lived, as I lived on an Island off North Queensland - Magnetic Island. I needed to know whether I could physically reach his daughter or if I would need to do long distance healing. Luckily they lived in Townsville just a short boat trip away.
When healing takes place at someone`s home it allows me to get to know the family and them me. I can then am able to reassure the members of the family and gain their trust. It opens up an easy doorway to truthful communication. Family can then feel safe in asking as many questions as they need. They instantly relax and let go of their suffocating fear.
   "Let`s see. The next boat leaves Magnetic Island in about three quarters of an hour." I  could almost feel the relief on the other end of the line. "I could be at your place by, say two o`clock. How does that suit?"
  After saying copious amounts of thankyous, his voice managed to ask me if I needed a lift from the wharf. I didn`t. Us Islanders are very resourceful. We actually had a 'shared vehicle' that sat patiently waiting to be driven in Townsville, a blessing for us all.
   "What`s your name and your daughter`s name?" I asked "and your address? It is probably a good idea to give me your phone number too, in case I get lost." I laughed. "See you soon."

  I put the phone down and yelled out to my family that I needed to go to Townsville and then ran up the stairs to the bedroom. My brightly coloured sarong, island dress code, was replaced with the first cotton shirt that I grabbed and a pair of slacks. Teeth brushed, face and hands washed, hair brushed, car keys and bag grabbed as I yelled to my family "I will be back sometime late afternoon. Bye."
  The car was now winding along over the point, driving past the ancient granite outcrops with the huge hoop-pines lurching towards the ocean, as wind whistled through my hair. Love Magnetic.
Hot, very humid. Wind. Clouds rolling in. Change about to happen. Change with emotion.
   The modern catamaran had not yet become a part of the local ferry system. The fast-cat ferries now (2012)only take twenty minutes to get to Townsville. The ferry that I boarded was the old kind, wooden and slow. Open windows, seaspray wetting the hair as the old 'Mama' rocked happily about over and through the waves. Such fun and very communal!
Sixty-five minutes later I arrived in the stifling heat of Townsville. I opened the doors of the car and wound down all the windows, boy the car was hot. Finally I climbed in and headed in the direction of the poorest part of town. Twenty minutes later, water bottle and spray water bottle in hand (in Townsville a spray bottle is a life-saver used for cooling the ankles and neck) I arrived at the family`s home.
   I could almost feel the tension and fear inside the house as I walked up the three steps to the front door. Before I had time to knock, the door flung open and there stood a little Italian man and a well-rounded Italian woman, probably in their early fifties. "Come in, come in" they said, as they showed me the way to the kitchen. "Thankyou so very much for coming."
  "It`s my pleasure." I said, as they sat me down and handed me a cool glass of orange juice.They then proceeded to explain that their daughter was in the bedroom, where she had been for the last few days.
Their pleading, ernest eyes were fixed on me. I instantly was filled with love, and understanding for them. Looking them straight in the eye I reassured them by telling them what I would probably do. I didn`t say, and I never do, suggest that healing will happen. I also never say that there is no need to worry. I am swept up in the moment, not thinking about results, what ifs, or anything at all, except that I am of service, for the good of all. I also never analyze or try to work out things intellectually, even though I was trained as a nursing sister, as this would be me then working through my ego. Nothing bad has ever happened, only good. What form that goodness will take, I don`t know. You see I have absolute faith in God and somehow my utter faith in the universe/source/God gives out a calming affect. It is like the angels appear in the room enveloping the people present with unconditional love. That 'higher support' then allows me to go about my business.

I very softly knocked on the bedroom door as I didn`t want to create too much of a disturbance by knocking normally. Sudden interruptions can trigger anything! Then I gradually pushed open the door. There she was, a woman in her early twenties, vacantly sitting upright on the edge of her bed. You could hear a pin drop. No response at all to me. Eyes glazed, fixed, empty. No one home. She was no longer in charge of her body as she had left. Catatonic. The room was empty apart from her bed, a chair and a huge picture of Jesus hanging on the wall behind her bed. "Thank God they are Catholics" I thought to myself, knowingly smiling at Jesus. After softly saying my name I slowly reached for a chair, brought it opposite her and close to her, and then sat down in front of her. I have to let you know here that I have no fear at all. No fear of being attacked. If I did then I would have been attacked!! My mind is filled with so much compassion resulting in heaps of light. Nothing comes into my mind at all except the healing vibration of pure love.
Looking directly into the vacated eyes I very gently took hold of each of her hands. Closing my eyes I asked in the name of Jesus Christ for healing of the body, mind and spirit. Instantly the light, in my mind`s eye, was intense as the energy ran down my arms and through my hands into the young woman. Buzz, buzz, buzzing, surging down my arms through my hands and into the patient. Five minutes later it was all over. My eyes gazed directly at the girl`s eyes that were now filled with glorious light. Beauty had returned. She had returned.
"ThankYou, ThankYou" I said to the powers that be "ThankYou for the healing."
   "Lovely to meet you." I said softly to her. "I will be back tomorrow, and the next day and the next." She looked at me as I talked, and then squeezed my hands as if to say thankyou.
   "Your Mum will be in, in a minute, to help you change and get ready for lunch." I said, with a kindly smile on my face.
  As I left the room I turned around and gave Jesus a cheeky wink. "I`ll be back tomorrow."

When the parents saw their daughter, and the change in her, tears of gratitude flowed. "Thankyou, Thankyou" they cried as they hugged me, "It`s a miracle, we have our daughter back".
   "Don`t thank me, thank God. I`m just a channel for healing." I said, with emphasis, then added, "I must be off now, but, I will be back tomorrow. Christmas Day 9.30am! See you then. Oh, ring me if you have any problems."
After another squeeze I bid them adieu.

Light Breaking Through The Shadows

What a brilliant Christmas gift this family enjoyed.
Their daughter, who now recognized them, ate a little late lunch and later some tea that day. Christmas day was filled with family and joy, even though their daughter was still reserved and only ate a little before retiring.
It was as if her inner energy channel, her soul energy, had been totally empty. Full of shadows. The daughter`s inner self  filled up more and more with light each time she had healing. Light (is of a higher love ) heals the body, mind and spirit when the emphasis is on this.
There were no more violent or angry attacks and in a few days she was capable of taking her medication along with her meals, showering etc etc. setting the table etc. Another week and she was just about back to leading a normal life even though she was still on medication. Her parents were overjoyed and asked if she actually needed her medication.
   Medication must always be the medical practitioner`s business, NOT the healers. Some medications can cause severe problems if suddenly stopped. A patient should always be monitored if drug doses are reduced or pumped up. I suggested that the next time the doctor sees her maybe, if she feels like it, she could ask if it could gradually be reduced a bit. Never harp on it though. The doctor knows best in medication matters and is responsible for his patient.
 " Trust God."  I said to her. "If your body and mind can be happy, and balanced, without medication then God will find a way to alert the doctor."

The young lady in question had been on medication for years and years. When this lady was in her late teens she had moved to Sydney where she got caught up in the drug scene and had been severely physically beaten by her boyfriend, and raped, and had been on medication ever since. Also in and out of psychiatric hospitals. A horror story indeed.

It happened though, that that Christmas proved the best ever. A turning point in her and her family`s lives. A few months later her very grateful family rang me to tell me she was now off all medication. Of course she would be monitored by her physician all her life in case other traumatic events occurred and triggerred off a response. Christmas sure is a special time.
I ran into her a few years later in Townsville`s Sunday markets in the Mall. She was happy, beautiful, productive and leading a normal well-balanced life.

By the way I still don't know how her family got hold of my phone number, or even who mentioned me to them. That I will never know.

Please note:
It is such a pleasure to be of service and give a free service! So many healers charge like wounded bulls. I don`t charge for healing. When I was very very ill I had no extra money to go to see, or be seen by, healers. Luckily I had such will-power that I worked out ways to heal myself. There is no way known that the lady`s family would have been able to afford a 'healing'. Their happiness was my payment. On Christmas Eve when they asked how much they owed me and I told them that there was no charge, they were so very, very grateful. The mother insisted on cooking a cake for my family and also gave me one of their cushions. Lovely. The cushion has been sat on over and over, as I teach meditation and always need loads of cushions!
I think we all have a right to good health., and boy, it is so wonderful to be able to enjoy someone else`s good health!

THE NINTH SACRED KEY - MUSIC, SONG

Awareness of Music and It`s Effect on the Foetus, Baby and Child

The foetus, when only a few weeks old, even in this early stage, is already using the sense of hearing. Incredible. The foetus is cushioned inside a water sack and this water acts not only to protect the baby but also takes on the vibrations of sound which in turn program the baby for its future life. The most important sounds are those given by the mother’s voice. The tone, words and music of the sounds expressed are all absorbed by the foetus.                                                             

Studies show that the types of sounds, and music, help structure the emotional and mental makeup of the child`s future. If only I had known this when I was pregnant!

Sing to your unborn child. Your baby will relate to the songs heard in the safe atmosphere of the womb and be very happy to hear those same songs after he or she is born

Play an instrument 

Listen to Mozart whilst pregnant. You are tuning your unborn child into the idea that life offers a wealth of joy, stimulation and serenity

Sing to your baby - sing a lullaby to help baby sleep. Sing fun songs and nursery rhymes, clapping hands to the beat or humming softly a familiar tune

  Last year I heard someone on the ABC talking about a study of children who played a musical instrument whilst they were in Primary School. This person claimed that the IQ was significantly raised if the young student played an instrument. No wonder music lessons are now offered to children in Australia by State School system. Emotionally and mentally children are a lot happier if they learn an instrument or join a choir. A really great book to read about  positives to do with music and its impact on babies, children and the unborn child is

The Mozart Effect for Children by Don Campbell  ISBN 0-7336-1309-8                          CDs by Don Campbell with music for the unborn child, baby and toddler are also on the market 

 A FEW HEALING STORIES TO DO WITH MUSIC

When I was a teenager I used to lie down and listen to a Indian record every time my monthly pains would arrive. Every time my pain used to disperse. A few years ago I read that Ravi Shankar ragas were played to some plants. Those plants all leaned towards (at a sixty-degree angle) the speakers. Apparently they also grew taller than the other plants.

When my children were going to primary school I was a passionate potter and sometimes would have back pain. I would fill the bath with water and climb in. Then, much to my children’s embarrassment, I would sing very loudly, and slowly, up my spine. I would start at the base of my spine, singing to that area and gradually sing up the scales as well as my spine. Sometimes I would be ‘stuck’ on one note (area). I would keep singing that tone until I felt the need to move on. My back always felt better after this exercise!

A few years ago I was camping at Ellis Beach on my way up to the Daintree. Sounds rather odd, but I had two broken ankles -both in plaster. On the beach a man carrying a didgeridoo approached me saying he would like to give me a healing. I was told to lie down on the sand, which I did, and then he commenced blowing the didgeridoo pointing at the base of my spine. He then continued playing up my spine. Actually it was very similar to what I used to do when singing my spine! I definitely felt wonderful by the time he finished. So much so that I took a lefty to Mossman Gorge and ended up walking the whole walk – I think 5 klms, if I remember correctly.

Another time I was trying to cut a wedge of mince-meat, off a frozen lump, as I had forgotten to defrost the cat’s dinner. The knife slipped between my thumb and first finger, severing my artery. Swearing rather loudly, as blood spurted out, painting the ceiling fridge and cupboards I grabbed the tea towel, squashed my thumb onto my first finger and bandaged tightly. I then held my hand, fingers pointing upwards, above my head. The man next door drove me to the hospital where a nurse undid my ‘bandage’ and put on a decent  one. It wasn`t tight, and I just knew that it wasn`t stopping the blood flow. She told me it was, so I left it at that. After one and a half hours the doctor arrived. He gave me a local anaesthetic and stitched up my hand. A rather messy job as my hand was filled with blood. The blood had oozed into the tissues in my hand that was now very, very swollen.

On leaving the hospital the doctor explained to me that I would need antibiotics as there was so much blood in the tissues that an infection would happen. He gave me some painkillers to take home and warned me that I would have loads of pain when the anaesthetic wears off. That night I climbed up my bush ladder up to my bed in the loft, and slipped into bed making sure I didn`t knock my hand as it was already very painful. Then, I laid down resting my arm on a pillow. I then, very softly, sang to my hand whilst at the same time I very gently stroked my hand towards my heart. Soon I was asleep. NO PAIN KILLERS! My hand healed within a few days without any need for antibiotics!

One of my patients, who had constant pain in his chest ,and could never sleep, slept like a baby after placing his hands on his chest and softly singing to that area. He normally didn`t sing at all.

I have personally seen, and experienced, people healing with chanting, as well as with listening to a crystal singing bowl. In my Healing with Music workshops using the voice (toning the endocrine system), the singing bowl, gongs, bells, drums and other tribal instruments many people have had breakthroughs in their emotional and physical health!

I am so excited at sharing this information. There is so much more I could share on this topic but unfortunately space is limited.

Music has been used for hundreds of years in many cultures. So maybe you can do some research.

There are some really fabulous books written about the Healing Voice, Healing Chants and various kinds of classical music and its effect on the physical and emotional body.

Here`s to music
Here`s to singing, clapping, dancing
Tra la laaa la laaa

Sacred Parenting - The Eighth Sacred Key

                                         THE EIGHTH SACRED KEY - CREATIVITY

The Importance of Creativity
Children can help to create the expansion of the soul. The parent learns about adaptability, patience, compassion, acceptance, letting go of judgements, forgiveness, being in the moment, play,  laughter etc.
Very often the parent has to reach 'outside the box' that is stretch their imagination in order to make things work as well as have a fun-loving day.
Creativity is to do with the imagination and nurtures spontaneity, joy, freedom, passion, delight, good health, laughter, concentration, brain cell production, self-worth, confidence, internal balance, spiritual alignment and contentment.
Creativity puts the joy back into life as the soul expresses itself in an unconditional way.

Creativity begins with finding ways to get your baby to respond spontaneously to you as you communicate through talking, whispering, singing, tickling, massaging, play peak-a-boo. Yes, this is you being creative - thinking outside the box. As you play more and more with your child your child`s imagination starts to expand and imagination is needed for the child in the future to feel self-worth, to be able to problem solve and to be able to cope in the world.
The use of bright colours and moving mobiles teaches the baby about colour, form, movement and variety. The baby is already stretching his imagination (& brain cells).

Play = creativity
Hide and seek, dress ups, story-telling, reading books, playing in the sand-pit, building with blocks, building cubby houses out of cardboard boxes (can get the children to paint on them flowers,doors,windows etc.) or sheets over tables, charades - what am I? -  acting out an animal, I Spy With My Little Eye, dressing up dolls (can be hand painted butchers` paper dresses) etc. etc.

Painting, decorating, craft = creativity
Finger painting,  making serviette rings by painting, or sticking fabric, on sliced toilet roll insides, making Xmas decorations, sticking bits of coloured paper on a diary, notepads, picture frames - THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX (and cover or paint the box whilst you are at it). Making macaroni necklaces or daisy chains.Collecting sticks and binding them to make little stick figures.
Creativity is a form of play and is a brilliant way to get involved with your child. I still make Xmas cards and presents for my grandchildren and really LOVE receiving homemade presents from them even though they are now 14 years old! Their presents are a unique expression of them and is always from the heart. My delight keeps their hearts warm also! LUCKY ME.

Home is Where The Heart Is

A simple little bit of cardboard with a heart that had been cut out of butcher's paper and stuck on top of the blue paper that was covering the cardboard. On top of that was stuck with sticky tape another bit of gold wrapping paper cut into a star. What a fabulous little gift.

Splashing, or sticking the finger in non-toxic water based paint, onto a notepad makes such a colourful statement and you can always find it! Your child is very proud and feels worthwhile, happy that you respect his expression and gift, and feels a huge sense of achievement and confidence. You get a warm heart!

'Imagination is more important than knowledge'                      
                                              Albert Einstein

Without imagination there would be no joy
Without imagination there would be no inventions
Without imagination there would be no solutions to problems
Without imagination there would be a meaningless world
   
Imagination is the first step in creating anything

Kite Flying High

When playing and creating please give your child a free reign in expressing him or herself. Once the rules re paint / clay / sand / paper / string / clag / sticky tape are set then enjoy what happens next! If you tell the child to change this or that, or that this would be better, then you have squashed all traces of self-worth, excitement, spontaneity, achievement etc. ENJOY HIS OR HER UNIQUE SELF EXPRESSION. Each child is different and that is how they are meant to be.

Up, up and away
Kite flying high

Paper kite making, and decorating or painting, can be great fun. Good for flying, good as a mobile - maybe you could make some little ones, paint them and hang them up as a mobile in the nursery?
Older children can also have loads of fun expressing themselves making kites at the same time (to help decorate?or as gifts).

Crafty Christmas Gifts
Turn the TV off. Constant TV watching robs us of creativity. Be creative. Have fun. Stretch the imagination. Live a little. Your soul will benefit and so will your children`s souls.

Xmas Party Hat

Maybe give Grandma a photo of bubs with a baby footprint on the other side of the card? Use non-toxic paint though. Maybe cover a Diary or make some ragdolls out of your old dresses. Maybe cover a lampshade with string, buttons and plaited brightly coloured material.

Mia with her Bamboo home-made bike

Everyone loves home-made gifts. Think of what the person likes, and what their character is, as it is no good giving a nylon apron to someone who is earthy and organically minded! That special time, thought and energy put into a personal gift really hits the warm spot and doesn`t cost much. All you need is a bit of imagination.

Mia`s Mum used her imagination and cut some of our bamboo to make this gorgeous bike out of bamboo so that Mia could have a bike whilst traveling in Australia. Isn`t it a beauty!

Everyone actually is creative - it is our birthright           
Take the plunge. Step into the unknown and at the
same time rediscover the joy of your inner child
Stretch your mind and nourish your soul.

Your children will be inspired as their imagination expands and hopefully they will have the time to be more and more creative as they grow through childhood.They will feel safe exploring unchartered territories with their minds and in their lives. Confidence and happiness goes hand in hand when the soul is free to express itself.
Creative spontaneity and the appreciation of beauty, nature and the Arts, gives us the much needed balance in our lives and a balanced life helps us achieve our full potential.

Bring the colour into you and your child`s life
Play, create, laugh and relax
Think outside the box
And into a bigger reality

Here`s to creativity and fun
Cheers and love, CMW

Sacred Parenting - The Seventh Sacred Key

THE SEVENTH SACRED KEY -  INWARD LEARNING and STRESS TRANSMUTING

The formative first three years of a child`s life are really important. These first three years will lay down the foundation for that child`s life.
If you are constantly yelling at, or are angry around, your child then you do need to look at what actually is causing the stress. It is not your child`s fault.
If you are not coping with the patterns of motherhood then it is time to stop and truthfully look at your situation and life. For your, and your child`s, emotional, physical and mental health are of utmost importance.

How can we expect to have happy children when we are not happy? If you are stressed then your child will also be stressed.
If we don`t spend one-on-one time with each child/baby we will have an unsatisfied, lacking child that will most definitely cause stress in the home!!! It is as simple as that. Take the time to play, tickle, sing to, or with, your beautiful child. Read stories, listen to music together, walk to the shops together and if your child is still a baby talk to her, or him, looking her in the eyes so that she is reassured of your love.

If Stressed :
Make sure you have adequate sleep. No stimulating drinks just before bed. If you are breastfeeding the same applies as what you take in affects the baby. Sugary foods, MSG, coffee, alcohol, sometimes wheat, carbonated drinks, energy drinks etc all can stimulate the brain creating stress. Delete scary movies.
Some parents have TV on for hours before the toddler`s and preschooler`s bedtime and then wonder why their child cannot sleep! Running around just before bed is asking for self-induced stress. Children cope better with school, kindy, life if they have a good night`s sleep - just like you!
Turn off the computer a few hours before bed. The electro-magnetic rays do distort the body`s energetic field. It is much harder for many people to have a good night`s sleep after they have been using the computer before going to bed.
Get yourself into a routine and stick to it. If your baby, toddler knows the routine they feel safe (It`s an inside thing) and are less likely to cause you stress.If possible have meals the same time each day. Bedtime the same time each night etc.Of course sometimes this is impossible - just try to work within your guidelines! Don`t try to do everything at once, plan your day and pace yourself.
Tiredness and a feeling of not being able to cope (or have enough time in the day) creates mountains out of molehills. Do yourself a favour wash the clothes and then when they are dry put them away. Many people become overwhelmed as the piles of washing, ironing, letters, dishes all pile up! Outside mess is an indicator or red light alarm showing you that some inner work is needed!!!!! Cheat and put everything away. Write a list of what needs doing and do one thing at a time. The world will not stop turning if you cannot get things done BUT if you are stressed then doing a little each day, and putting things in order, will most definitely release some tension. Your partner also will feel happier.
Women are multi-talented. Having children teaches us so many things including adaptability, perseverence, compassion, gratitude, acceptance, forgiveness, LOVE.
Check your diet. Make sure you are eating a really good diet. Brain power, physical power and emotional stability all rely on specific nutrients being eaten. Please re read THE THIRD SACRED KEY - The Importance of Diet.

Watch Yourself and recognize when you start feeling stressed.
Write in your daily journal about what triggers the feeling of agitation etc. etc.
We all tend to revert to blaming circumstances or other people for our problems. " If only he would.......".
"If only I had more time ....".  " If only my mother .....".  "If only I had more money...". "Why does this always happen to me?"
"I wish I could ....".    "If only I had ....". "I am hopeless....".
Thinking or uttering these thoughts and word patterns actually concretes these energies into becoming more of your situation. There is NO POSITIVE energy that can be had from these thoughts/words!!!!!! The `poor me/ victim` thoughts allow your energy, and power, to be leaked out leaving you more frustrated, more upset, more angry and more tired. SO step back and watch yourself habitually respond to the situations that trigger the above thoughts, THEN become more of yourself by repeating a positive statement such as one that focuses on how lucky you are - having a child/ somewhere to live/ rice to eat etc etc. Concentrate on what you do have not what you haven`t got. Focus on the good things that your partner has or does.
                                       RESISTANCE = PERSISTENCE
The more you concentrate on what isn`t happening or what you haven`t got, the more you are pushing away what you do want to happen or want to have!
Take personal responsibility for your actions and reactions rather than blame and condemn others and you will step into the zone of self-empowerment and your inner light will shine more brightly.
What are you frightened of?  Write your fears down. Are they real fears?Have you ever felt the same sort of fear or unworthiness before? Think back to your childhood. Write down when you first felt those fears. Have a look at your patterns of behaviour. Try not to judge yourself - just observe your life as an outsider. 
Softly watch yourself react to others actions or words. As soon as someone does or says something you feel uncomfortable with immediately think of the situation as interesting. Say to yourself  "Isn`t that interesting".
Life is interesting and the way people act and think is interesting. Everyone acts out their fears and insecurities by judging, hurting, blaming etc etc others! The word interesting often diffuses any reaction - it somehow lets you be a watcher instead of a reactive participator!
When your feathers are ruffled think of the situation or person talking, blaming, judging, as 
'interesting'.

Manage your money well. Budget. Be realistic. Stop buying "stuff" to fill up your life with. The "stuff" is wanted as subconsciously you need to fill your "empty" life with something. The something you are actually craving is LOVE.
Play more, dance more, sing more, appreciate more, give thanks more, respect more. Be still more. Be creative with your food and be happy with your unique self and your very individual child. Be blessed.

Take the time to reflect on the miracle of creation. See the miracle of life in your baby, child. Hold your baby/child`s hand. Massage her or his back, feet, hands. Look into your child`s eyes and connect deeply.

Keep in touch with friends and family BUT make sure YOU and YOUR CHILD do what is best for you. You are the parent and you know best. Instead of rushing around visiting everyone maybe ask everyone to bring a plate of food and have them all around for a lunchtime 'get together'.

Be truthful. If you are tired and need a rest then let people know that you need time out, after all you are human!

Journal - write down your thoughts and each day write down everything that you are grateful for.

Have a Bath. Massage your feet. Massage your partner and he/she can massage you.
Take the time to brush your hair, play your music, sit quietly with your child - reading, talking, listening. Drink your tea out of a nice mug. Use aromatherapy - many scents are used specifically for stress relief. Ask at the chemist, health-food shop.

Decrease other commitments -your family comes first. Loads of parents try to do too much.

INCLUDE IN DAILY ROUTINE:

BREATHING DEEPLY 
YOGA, TAI CHI, WALKING
MEDITATION or listening to a visualization
TEN MINUTES WATCHING THE STARS (no talking)

Please talk to a health professional if you have done all the above and are still stressed.


Here`s to a stress free day  -- Breathe
Here`s to a happy family
Cheers and love,   CMW
