The purpose of this CD is to give you and your children the opportunity to learn and apply these techniques so you can also focus and improve your health.   The coaching is designed to train the body, brain, and mind to create and accept perfect health.  

     As indicated these are mental training exercises.   Repetition is an important part of the training.    Therefore, all the exercises begin the same and then will conclude with a different theme.   Since these are training exercises; it is best to do this in a seated position, unless the child is ill and must lie down.

Instructions for use of this material

     The first five or six times your children use this material, it would be best for one or both parents to sit with them during the coaching exercises.    Have the child or teen listen to the exercise up to three times per day.  Best times are at bedtime, in the morning, and after school.      When behaviors, grades, and health improve, you can reduce the frequency of listening to the exercises.    This material may be used before sports events to enhance performance by helping with relaxation and concentration.

     Do not use this as punishment and make the child listen to the CD after bad behavior.   This is to be a positive, healing experience.   Frequent listening will reduce unwanted behavior

     In the background you will hear a drum, designed to resemble heart tones.   The drum begins at 80 beats per minute and slows gradually to 50 beats per minute.   This is designed to entrain the physical body to slow down and relax as the exercise progresses.

     You can teach your child to focus their attention without the use of this CD by simply practicing the count down exercise from 10 to 1, 25 to 1 or 100 to 1.

     It would be best to consult your child’s Health Care Provider before using this material.   Generally, they are very supportive of this kind of training.

     Please do not listen to these mental training exercises while operating a motorized vehicle.   Use them in a quiet, comfortable place.  Have your child use a head set or ear phones for listening in the car.  

     At the end of the mental training exercise if you wish your child to go to sleep, you may have them disregard the ending instructions and simply let them drift off to sleep.

     Just follow the instructions as we go through the exercises.     There is no way to do them incorrectly. 

     In holistic health, we belief that the three aspects of health, physical, mental / emotional, and spiritual are all connected.   To be totally well we must address all three.

For Physical Health     

     Your child may be taking medications or going to a therapist.   It is important to follow your Doctor’s directions and continue those therapies.  

     Your children should drink plenty of chlorine-free water every day.   Chlorine may interfere with thyroid function.    It is beneficial of avoid pop and flavored water.

     Nutritionally, we have found the “Eat Right for Your Blood Type” program by Dr. Peter D’Adamo to work very well for most people.  Do your best to follow this at least 70% of the time.    Have the children eat as much fresh, organic, raw fruits and vegetables as you like.   Especially if the foods are on the beneficial or neutral food lists for your blood type.    

     Eat as simply and purely as possible.   Avoid food additives and dyes, especially red, as much as possible.

     I am not a big supporter of dairy products for children.   We are the only mammals that continue to drink milk after we get teeth.   To determine if milk and dairy products are a problem for your child, you can perform a simple pulse test.   Have your child sit at rest, reading or watching a movie for at least 5 minutes.   Check the pulse at the wrist (count for 15 second and multiply by four to get beats per minute).   Then give the child a glass of milk or bowl of ice cream.   Check the pulse again at 5 and 10 minutes (child should remain at rest).   If the pulse goes up at least 10 beats per minute, you have a reaction and then avoiding or reducing dairy will be helpful for over-all health.  

     It is also helpful if sugars and starchy foods are reduced or avoided.  They can make the body acidic which does not promote perfect health.   Use natural sweeteners such as Stevia, Xylitol, Agave Nectar, and Pure Cane Crystals.

     Herbal and homeopathic remedies have been found to be highly beneficial for the treatment of serious health issues.    Investigate this with the help of a qualified Homeopath.     Phone consultations with me at The Healing Center can be arranged by calling (989) 352-6500.

Mental and Emotional Health

     We also recommend for older children an emotional releasing exercise which briefly goes like this.      

     Have them write letters to any one with whom they may have had any conflicts.   Usually this would be parents, friends, teachers, the playground bully, someone who may have abused your child, perhaps a diseased part of the body, anything or anyone who has bothered them in any way.

     At the end of the letter, add the following:    I will no longer carry your debt for you Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, or Spiritually.

     Then add:   I love you, I bless you, I release you, I forgive you for everything I think you have done to me.

     Then read this letter out loud three times and then burn it.   The child will feel internal emotional shifts, subtly or dramatically within three days of following this procedure.  

     Have the child write as many letters as you wish until you feel they have released all the old past stuff that has been affecting their health.  

     Since our personal development is an ongoing process, it is good to write more letters in a month or so.  To see if there are still unhealthy emotional attachments, simply have the child think about that person or that part of the body.  If there are any unpleasant emotions, then more letters need to be written
