It’s All About That Soothing Meditative Grace… Om

I do hope everyone is enjoying your festivities during this holiday. We will be crossing over into another month very soon, however, before I get to my incantations and divine salutations ladies make sure you check your breasts for the month of December the month is slowly fading into history, wow, can you all believe we are already.  in the last month of the year of the Chinese Zodiac, which is the Tiger.      
     
We had an extra day added to the elements of time, for all you adorable and handsome infants that were birthed and will be born before the conclusion of 2024, parents, I will strongly suggest breast feeding, only if you find it comfortable, and begin to read to your children, as a Mental Health Counselor I would suggest at the age of nine months, when a child can sit comfortably on a parent’s lap.      
     
You will be building up their cognitive awareness, and make sure to incorporate some of those picture books, begin with sounds, then sounds and visual comprehensive pictures, then words alone, then just three let words, and you explain what the picture is and ask then you child to repeat, it will not be concise, but that is training your child the importance of responsive dialect, ask them to point to or even guess at pictures, at this mental flourishing stage, an infant or yes, even a toddler should be utilizing the left side of their developing brain that is the source for thinking.      
     
Left Hemisphere: Typically associated with logical thinking, analytical skills, language, and mathematical abilities. It processes information in a linear and sequential manner.      
     
Right Hemisphere: Often linked to creativity, intuition, spatial awareness, and holistic thinking. It processes information in a more integrative and simultaneous way.      
     
I offer the dynamics of this advice, I assess the components of the brain, inner, outer, surrounding, and the disorders that make up the scope under Mental Health Illness and Disorders.      
     
There are so many ways to teach a young child, whereas, you are storing family values, you must give them religion/divine purposes to balance right from wrong, and a reason to love themselves and to learn to appreciate the difference of others.      
     
More importantly, read to your infant before birth, after birth, and as they begin to assert their freedom.      
     
With regard and respectfully to mention, I am listening to parents who have a disruptive child/child living in their household, and the first moment they get, they are asking their physician for a referral to see a Counselor to have their child tested for Add/Adhd or for Autism.      
     
There is a difference between Add and Autism      
     
Focus and Attention: While both conditions can involve distractibility, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Add primarily affects attention and focus, whereas Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves broader social and communication challenges.      
     
In the back of my mind, I ask myself, was close contact initiated from birth throughout toddler, then overseeing the general welfare of a child residing under a parent’s roof as they are going through those growing stages; food, shelter, an orthodox education, and encouraging the curiosity of their mind through the four stages of a person’s growth; infant, adolescent, adulthood and geriatric.      
     
Then I sift through my own professional assessment to ask, was there a breakdown for the declining in that child’s mental development at some point, it saddens me when a parent conveys to me, they cannot control their child, and why is that, I would inquire, subsequently, I will not go into the logistic of my reply, henceforth, it goes into my profession and I am here to offer some form of advocacy to ponder, to use or even try at your own discretion.      
     
Parents you must inspire a child’s brains to want to learn daily from what we already know, so please do not convince yourself, your child can raise themselves, I am here to tell you, they cannot.      
     
A parent(s) involvement is required at all times to oversee their general welfare of a child/children, those rearing duties consist of monitoring what your children are watching on television, who they are befriending, if they are teenagers, as I will always say, keep those communication lines always open, and before your school age child leaves the safe sanctuary of your home, say a keep them safe chat, pray, make it a Grand Rising car song, primarily, if you have to drive your kids to school, let them know they are loved and their opinions are valued, keep in mind time is not promised to anyone.      
     
As I was saying, I would leave you with the Attachment Theory from Psychologist John Bowlby, whom I studied some of his hypothesis in college.      
     
The theory you're referring to is likely Attachment Theory, which was developed by British psychologist John Bowlby. Attachment Theory emphasizes the importance of early relationships in shaping a child's emotional and social development. It suggests that children are biologically programmed to form attachments with caregivers as a means of survival (cited SKC 12-22-24).      
     
Winter is upon us, and we will be losing the luxury of that sunshine one day.      
     
Ladies, that will mean upon your Grand Rising, you will most likely be awakening more irritable and please take into consideration your cognitive awareness will be slightly off, where your melatonin a secreted hormones from the pineal gland, which is a natural sleep derivative released to your temple.      
     
Melatonin, a natural hormone, is primarily produced by the pineal gland this hormone is primary released in the brain at night, and its beneficial in adding in our sleep throughout our sleeping to a wake cycle.      
     
If weather is permissible attempt to get out as much as you can to absorb those beautiful sun rays, and in getting a dose of Vitamin D, from the sun. There seems to be several people who must take Vitamin D Supplements due to bone density and not eat enough food that contains its natural sources.      
     
I am a Smoothie Queen, I mix the most healthy and organic vegetables and fruit what I call my high liquidated energy on the go, and after I get off my treadmill, after my cool down. I am sipping on my sacred and organic concoctions. At other times, I will make overnight when I have a staff meeting, I will make the night before, and placed in a Mason Jar, I do not use plastic containers to store food items due in fact it promotes the growth of mold.    
   
Dry items for storage, beans, pastas, dry cereal, I use Mason Jars for anything storable.    
     
Sip in moderation while you are getting ready about time you open your front door to step out into the world.      
     
Your mind is clear, your skin is glowing, a little soft pep in my stiletto’s steps, and a flash of my pearly whites, I feel I have a chance to take on the world in any feat, or plan of care I execute.      
     
I now can understand that adage, when you hear, you are what you consume, and healthy choices from the four food groups will give your temple longevity, and for anyone who is starting to forgot.      
   
Some Foods You May Want To Incorporate In Your Diet   
   
Fatty Fish: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Blueberries, Broccoli, Pumpkin Seeds  
Dark Chocolate: Contains flavonoids and antioxidants that improve blood flow to the brain, enhancing memory and mood.  
Nuts: Especially walnuts, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and have been linked to improved cognitive function.  
Green, Leafy Vegetables  
Coffee and Tea: The caffeine and antioxidants in these beverages can boost alertness and improve memory.  
       
Please make sure you do not use or consume any of those items above, if you have any food allergies.      
     
And ladies, I give you my pinky swear, find the right natural smoothie ingredients for whatever ails you for, make that healthy smoothie for one week, you will feel so much better, I like Flax Seeds, wheat germ, and a spoonful of honey in any smoothie I create, it does wonders for my skin and the Flax Seeds help those free radicals in the body that can cause some forms of cancers.      
     
For senior citizens, if you are active and cheerful about moving about form a walking group and just get out a take a leisure stroll through Mother Nature, when it is allowed in winter weather.      
     
Then make sure you plant the appropriate flowers that are expected to be planted during this pre-Spring weather, do not forget we are still in the Winter Solstice if utilizing the (Western Calendar) and we are already in the Vasant Ritu (Vedic Calendar). Make sure if the weather does return to cooler temperatures, cover the seeds up with a layering of plastic to keep the soil still most and fertile.      
     
Vasant Ritu begins on February 18 and lasts throughout the duration until April 19. Springtime, known as Vasant Ritu.      
     
Let me add, ladies, please take care of the inner thoughts of your mind when views are not conducive to uplift, our psyches, the nakedness of our truth, we become the reflection of our own dissatisfactions, our own envy, our insecurities began to peak, and we become the vessel of our own demise.      
Walk in faith, if it cannot kill you, it can only make you stronger.        
     
Never dwell in the fallacy of anyone’s gloom and doom, it’s theirs, allow them to own it and retain.      
     
I know this adage may sound cliché, but ‘the meaning of life is to live through the windows of others’      
     
Self-preservation and self-love bring so much divine gravitational, it becomes the spoken truth of your action, it gives credence to your deeds.      
     
For me, personally, I will always try to thrive on the wings of high vibrational energy, seeking to learn, to explore. In this day and in this lifetime, being, no seconds or the next breath is guaranteed. You need to create your own happiness, live through your own storms, and celebrate through your trials and tribulations, after all, those are your darkest hours, the uncertain times, when faith is lingering in the air, and the easy way out seems like the best course of action taking the detour through life.      
     
That is what you consider your crossroads in life, no one walks in the wrong direction in life, its costly, mistakes add up, and time is never a beneficial factor.      
     
With a sense of direction and self-assurance, take the time to the show the aura of your persona what you are made of manifest positiveness through your endurance, after all, you are the navigator of your own testimonies, make it shine to give others, hope, feed their minds with daily encouragements, it is always warrantied for someone who may have lost the way.      
     
Anything beneath that to self, is a mind coping on the mechanics of a disgruntled soul, and in this day and age and what we know not we must hold on to the inner sanctuary of our intellect.      
     
May you feel the tranquil wind at your back as you gallop toward the embracement of the universe.      
     
     
Om………      
     
     
Love and Universal Hugs, always
