Sleepless?

I'm posting this here because many children with special needs have greater difficulty in calming themselves and quieting their brain enough to sleep. This article has some good resources for helping children learn to settle their own systems and get to sleep on their own. Annie Tucker Morgan references Richard Ferber, the director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children’s Hospital in Boston.

One of the benefits of ABM that parents most often report is having their children start to sleep through the night even after just one lesson.

Why Current Thinking About Autism is Completely Wrong

Some of the children I see are being treated by a functional pediatrician. They are going through testing for these same kinds of issues. I will let you know if there is the kind of improvement Dr. Mark Hyman is seeing.

An inspired life

This article (click title to view) is about how to find your inspiration. As I was reading I was struck by the author's use of the words "listen" (to yourself), "focus", "intention", and "awareness". These are the language of learning and vitality and ABM. Inspiration and a purpose in life were my rewards from doing ABM and the Feldenkrais Method.

Here are the nine essentials:
1. Movement with Attention
2. Turning on the Learning Switch
3. Slow Gets the Brains Attention
4. Subtlety - reduction of force and intensity
5. Variations
6. Enthusiasm
7. Holding Goals Loosely
8. Dreams - Imagination
9. Awareness

Use the tools and find your passion in life!
