A personal medical alarm is highly recommended for most seniors and is essential for people who suffer from a list of many common medical conditions and disabilities. People with these conditions are at risk of falls or the sudden onset of acute symptoms or deterioration in their existing condition. The statistics when it comes to falls can be surprising, as most people aren’t aware that 1 in 3 people over 65 years of age have a substantial fall in any given year. Alarms are also recommended by nurses in many circumstances for seniors who have been recently discharged from hospital.

Learning From Our Mistakes
A mistake is only a mistake until the lesson is learned. Life is a classroom for the soul to grow and our hearts to expand. Our relationships are the playground where our patterns show up as we learn how to communicate our desires and needs, find our voices, practice having a back bone and standing up for what feels true. Sometimes we get caught in old patterns that go on repeat and need to discover what belief system feelings and energy inside keeps us stuck. Once the lesson is learned, then all guilt, judgment, shame, disappointment and hurt is important to release.
What is 3-D-Healing?
3-D-Healing combines the knowledge and energy of two trained practitioners who work on you simultaneously, helping to resolve the emotional and energetic blockages that manifest in the physical body. During a light state of trance, where you are fully present, you can access your cellular system, DNA, and higher self to reach negative emotional storages and get them ready for release. Practitioners simply assist in releasing these inhibiting energies, without you needing to share any past events or information with them. They also channel energy simultaneously into your body to allow for an easier release of the stored energies.
How Opposites Attract
When a friend drops by unexpectedly, we invite them in and make them comfortable. Similarly, when a feeling of happiness overcomes us, we welcome it and hope it stays for a while. When a feeling of sadness overcomes us, we wish it gone, like it was a burn, or a bee sting. The salve that can possibly give us relief is a song that mimics the feeling. As the song echoes the sad feeling back to us, it’s like a friend telling us ‘I hear you’. It comforts and soothes us. In a little while, we want music that is quite the opposite. And so, opposites do attract, and balance is restored.
Painful Feelings
Painful feelings command our attention – they can be so uncomfortable, and incredibly inconvenient. But what are they telling us? Is it that something is missing in your life? Are the feelings a signal for change, say in a job or a relationship? Are you healing from a loss? And what do you do about these painful feelings? Is there anyone you can share them with? Counselling is a safe, supportive, unbiased place to consider your full experience, and to develop a plan for yourself.
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) is a practical, short-term form of psychotherapy. CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target current problems. CBT is “problem focused” (undertaken for specific problems) and “action-oriented” (therapist tries to assist the client in selecting specific strategies to help address those problems). This type of therapy has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness.
Words to Live By
“We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.” –Eleanor Roosevelt
