As you have read in some of my previous blogs, I had a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). The most difficult consequence of it for me has been bouts of deep depression. Today I want to tell you about a tool I have found that seems to have releived me of this dibilitating condition. My episodes were not often , but were, on a number of occasions, life threatening.
In March of 2008, I came across a company called "Centerpoint Research Institute". They have a program that can help people by using meditation for healing and personal growth. After reading about them and researching them a bit, I sent for the free sample kit of their CDs. I was impressed with the technology, but more impressed by the effect listening to the CD's had on me. So in July 2008 I bought Level One of their "Awakening" program. This level consists of 5 CD's that contain 3 different levels of meditations. The first two are 30 minutes long each and were great for me in that I did not get bored like I did when trying to meditate without them. The third is used as you sleep and repeats the 30 minute affirmations message you custom design for yourself. I am now on Level 2.
The Director of Centerpointe, Bill Harris, has been studying the brain, how it works, and how specific types of sound affect the growth of new neurons in the cortex. He created the 'HOLOSYNC' program in 1989, and it is now used by nearly a million people in over 193 countries. There is way too much research and studies to list, much less tell you about the potential effects here. I can say, however, that the differences and growth for me have been significant. Since I began using the program, I have not had even one bout of serious depression, even when the usual triggers were there and strong. I have had a few days of mild "everything is not perfect", but no obvious Depression days. This is great growth for me.
The second big thing I particularly like about the program is the inclusion of subliminal personal affirmations into the meditation. I recorded a series of positive messages for 5 areas of my life that I want to change and improve. These are recorded into the meditation. I have seen significant growth in 4 of the 5 areas since I have been using the program. I now understand how he can give you a guarentee.
I like this program and found it to be very helpful and best of all it is easy. Understand, you do not have to have some serious thing you need to fix to use this program. Its all about growth. This program works for me. Take a few minutes and look into it.

A New Year and A New Book
2009 was an interesting year. Enough said. I am sooo looking forward to this New Year.
I am still active with the Red Cross. We were blessed with no natural disasters (hurricanes, tornados, etc.), but did have to open a shelter for residents of an apartment house that burned. I will not be going to Haiti to work shelters there because one must be certified by the International Red Cross for that, and I am only certified for national events.
The TBI group I am involved with sang Christmas Carols at the hospital where we meet last month and will meet this week. I look forward to taking a larger roll in the group this year.
As soon as some issues are finished from last year I will reopen the book store, Busters Books. I have discovered a new book that I am excited about and want to offer it to you all.
"A Better Man" is a series of interviews and essays by and of some of the most respected men in America. Its design is to aid boys and young men on their transition to become honorable, successful men. I was channel surfing the other day and stumbled on a program where the editor, Kelly H. Johnson, was leading a discussion with some of the men who are included in the book. I immediately went to the phone and ordered it from the publisher, Brandylane Publishers in Richmond, Virginia.
Having spent 30 years working with high school students, I am very aware of the need for better source of materials to help young men and ladies make the transition for kids to responsible, fulfilled adults. These men share the steps and experiences that lead them to become the heros and leaders they are. I strongly recommend this book and suggest it as a gift for any young man in your life, or even for yourself. I am glad I bought it, and I am learning from it.
I am including the web address of Brandylane Publishers here so you can buy the book directly from them. Its that good.
