Trying to get back into the habit of reading and trying to finish up “The Climate Book” by Greta Thunberg. There’s a passage on hyper-consumerism called “Towards 1.5C Lifestyles” by Kate Raworth. Some of the notable parts:

“‘Although we have relative material abundance, we do not in fact have emotional abundance’ [psychotherapist Sue Gerhardt] writes in “The Selfish Society”. “Many people are deprived of what really matters.’”

“Drawing on a wide array of psychological research, the New Economics Foundation distilled the findings down to five simple acts that are proven to promote well-being: connecting to the people around us, being active in our bodies, taking notice of the living world, learning new skills and giving to others.”

It also included the six principals of the Take The Jump movement to move towards what they refer to as a 1.5C lifestyle:

1. End clutter: keep electronic products for at least seven years.

2. Holiday local: take short-haul flights only once in three years.

3. Eat green: adopt a plant-based diet and leave no waste.

4. Dress retro: buy at most three new items of clothing a year.

5. Travel fresh: don’t make use of private cars, if possible.

6. Change the system: act to nudge and shift the wider system.

“Attachment researchers have found the children in such families [where negative emotions such as anger or hostility are not acceptable] learn to appear calm and unconcerned, but when measured, their heart rate and autonomic arousal is rocketing. They are dysregulated. Rather than getting help with returning to the comfort zone, the child learns there is no regulatory help with such feelings. They try to suppress the feelings and switch them off altogether, but are rarely successful.”

Why Is Craniosacral Therapy in Abbotsford Essential for You?

Craniosacral therapy in Abbotsford is a type of hands-on healing that balances the patient’s body and energy field. It’s a gentle, non-invasive therapy often used to treat headaches, jaw tension, neck discomfort and other types of pain.

What does Sport and Spine in Abbotsford includes?

Craniosacral therapy promotes the natural cranial rhythm through light touch on various parts of the head and upper back. Patients can experience relief of neck pain, tension and headaches. Sport and Spine Abbotsford services include Craniosacral therapy.

History and Origins

In 1985, a cranial therapist named Sue Gerhardt became the first person in the United States to obtain a license to practice cranial therapy. Since then, cranial therapy has grown immensely, and more therapists are now trained in this technique.

The word "craniosacral" is Greek for "of the skull bone. The practitioner uses their hands slowly and gently to move the various parts of the patient’s head. The therapist also may use gentle tapping and light pressure on the patient’s back, neck and other areas to release craniosacral fluids that can build up.

The practice is usually not covered by health insurance because the technique has not been proven effective for medical or psychological conditions. Patients can seek the help of a Craniosacral therapy practitioner, who may charge a sliding fee on a case-by-case basis.

Research investigating the effectiveness of cranial therapy is limited. However, according to an article published in Alternative Medicine Review, some evidence suggests that craniosacral therapy may help with certain conditions.

Benefits

The technique has been used to treat children whose helmets or neck braces have caused headaches, migraines and other problems. The patients are instructed to wear their helmets or brace during the treatment. Some individuals could even stop using their helmets entirely after receiving craniosacral therapy.

One study published in the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice found that cranial therapy helped with chronic tension headaches for 14 participants in one study. A smaller 12-person study published in the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice found that cranial treatment relieved people with chronic tension headaches. The 11th person who received craniosacral therapy stopped using his neck brace after the treatment.

Craniofacial therapy is a specialized form of physical and occupational therapy for infants, children and adolescents that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial conditions.

A child with a craniofacial condition may have some or all of the following characteristics: cleft lip/palate, micrognathia (small lower jaw), Down syndrome, Preacher Collins syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence.

These conditions can be the result of birth trauma, environmental factors or inherited disorders. The severity of these conditions varies from person to person and affects their daily lives such as breathing problems which can often lead to sleep apnea disorders among other things. Craniofacial therapists work with both the patient and family in order to improve safety

Conclusion

Cranial therapy is a gentle, hands-on healing practice used to treat pain and discomfort caused by the human spine and surrounding nerves. It’s a type of non-invasive treatment that works by promoting the natural cranial rhythm through light touch on various parts of the head and upper back. The practitioner also may use gentle tapping and light pressure on the patient’s back, neck and other areas to release craniosacral fluids that can build up.

Craniosacral therapy may help with some conditions, including headaches caused by wearing rigid neck braces or migraines. Patients may receive benefits within a few sessions.

 Synopsis : Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and physical health. This second edition follows on from the success of the first, updating the scientific research, covering recent findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, and including a new chapter highlighting our growing understanding of the part also played by pregnancy in shaping a baby's future emotional and physical well-being.Sue Gerhardt focuses in particular on the wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler's developing nervous system. When things go wrong with relationships in early life, the dependent child has to adapt; what we now know is that his or her brain adapts too. The brain's emotion and immune systems are particularly affected by early stress and can become less effective. This makes the child more vulnerable to a range of later difficulties such

Indeed, consumerism and materialism are themselves widely recognised today as key drivers of a whole raft of mental health problems, from addiction to depression. As George Monbiot notes, ‘Buying more stuff is associated with depression, anxiety and broken relationships. It is socially destructive and self-destructive’. Psychoanalytic psychotherapist Sue Gerhardt has written very compellingly on this association, suggesting that in modern societies we often ‘confuse material well-being with psychological well-being’. In her book The Selfish Society she shows how successfully and relentlessly consumer capitalism reshapes our brains and reworks our nervous systems in its own image. For ‘we would miss much of what capitalism is about,’ she notes, ‘if we overlook its role in restructuring and marketing desire and impulse themselves.’ Another key aspect of capitalism and its impact on mental illness we could talk about of course is inequality. Capitalism is as much an inequality-generating system as it is a mental illness producing system. As a Royal College of Psychiatrists report noted: ‘Inequality is a major determinant of mental illness: the greater the level of inequality, the worse the health outcomes. Children from the poorest households have a three-fold greater risk of mental ill health than children from the richest households. Mental illness is consistently associated with deprivation, low income, unemployment, poor education, poorer physical health and increased health-risk behaviour.’ Some commentators have even suggested that capitalism itself, as a way of being or way of thinking about the world, might be seen as a rather ‘psychopathic’ or pathological system. There are certainly some striking correspondences between modern financial and corporate systems and individuals diagnosed with clinical psychopathy, as a number of analysts have noticed.

Unification Church babies dying and members starving – as they follow the orders of Sun Myung Moon

▲ Moon with his 1959 birthday cake at Chongpa-dong in Seoul. Pak Bo-hi is on the right, Eu Hyo-won is on the left.

The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification is another name for Sun Myung Moon’s organization.

Steve Kemperman: “Sharon related the story of the early days of the Korean Church—couples had sometimes left their babies in garbage cans to die. I’d heard about these tragedies before from the higher-ups and understood that there’d been barely enough food for the parents to keep from starving to death. But why then, asked Vick, had Sun Myung Moon continued to receive the choicest foods?”

Lord of the Second Advent (1981) by Steve Kemperman (page 20)

_________________________________

This testimony, given in the early 1980s, confirms the starvation.

Mrs. Kang Chung-won (36 couple), the wife of Lee Jae-seok

“We witnessed on the streets. In 1970, we left our children behind and went pioneering again for three years. This was the beginning of the tradition in the Korean Church, today, whereby all Blessed wives must go pioneering for the same period. After witnessing and doing itinerary work around the country I returned to my home. Immediately Father ordered me to work with the Woman’s I.F.V.O.C. and that is where I work today as the General Secretary.

Having attended Father until now, I think that those of us who still remain are those who submit themselves completely to Father’s words, those who have no self and those who are concerned only for the fulfilment of God’s will.

I was raised as a daughter of a rich family, and after receiving the Blessing I have suffered more than I can ever express in words. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was sent out witnessing. I had nothing to eat so I sometimes went to the mountains and gathered wild vegetables to eat. While I was witnessing, I fainted on the street from lack of blood. I once had no place to go and had to spend the night in the room of one of our members. At times I had to stay in a place like a storage house with many students. I endured these difficulties, however, because I knew that Father, too, had gone through much suffering. When I thought about his having walked the way of restoration through indemnity, my only thought was to accomplish his will for him. Father had told us that those who were rich before joining our church had to indemnify this by going through much poverty.

I kept these words and I went through the typical indemnity course. I would witness, with my baby son on my back. He became seriously ill. Because of malnutrition, he was always getting sick. I had no money to take him to a hospital so I took him to a Health Clinic for poor people. The doctor there felt so sorry for me that he gave me several years supply of vitamins for my baby.

In 1966 when our church began a movement to quadruple our membership I worked very hard because as the wife of a church director I had to stand on the front line. When we collected used articles to raise money for witnessing, I worked harder than anyone. Once on my way home from having visited the house of a member I suddenly felt all strength go out of my body and I fell down on the street. I began to sweat cold sweat and the right side of my body became paralyzed. Someone passing by stood me up against a fence and went to contact my church. Our members carried me into a room.

We had no money to go to hospital, so we locked the door to the church and prayed together. “Father, what shall I do if I am like this? Your glory will be hidden within me. I am not thinking of myself but of your will when I ask you to make this body whole again.”

After a week of praying like this, I recovered completely and started working again. My husband also worked so hard that he caught T.B. and sometimes vomited blood, but he never left his public position and maintained it to the end. When I look back upon my life I myself wonder how I could have come through such a difficult course without stumbling. Although I am not worthy, I have tried to become a person who can appear without shame on a page of history. I worked hard for the day when my children would ask me “Mother, what did you do for God’s will when we were small?” and I would be able to answer them with pride.

To help my husband I became a door to door salesman, I carried merchandise around in a cloth sack and sold them. I opened a dress shop, a small Chinese restaurant and sold guns.

One time I became so tired that I collapsed on a sofa and water shot out from my cheek like a fountain. I went to a skin doctor and he told me that this sometimes happens as a result of fatigue. He said that if the water had gone up to my head I would have died. He told me that God must be protecting me.

Even after giving birth to a baby, I didn’t have the chance to rest my body for a long time, because I had to keep working. During the effort to quadruple our membership, we came into contact with two ministers and had a revival meeting with them. This became the beginning of the Super Denomination movement.

I worked very hard at the dress shop to support my husband while he pushed forward, in spite of all opposition and persecution, to reach the ministers who were reluctant to attend our seminars. With the help of God my business went well but I never used any money for myself, never even making any clothes for myself.

Even while doing business I witnessed on the street and in the countryside whenever I had time. I always told my employees that I would not be doing that business forever and that if I were to be commanded to do public work I would have to comply.

Finally from December 1, 1970, I began the three year witnessing course. At the time my children were six, four and ten years old. Also I had not yet returned the money I had borrowed to open the dress shop. I couldn’t afford to be away from the shop for even an hour, but I left it behind and went to my witnessing area. A few days later I received a letter from my husband. He said he had always known that I was brave but had never thought that I could be as brave as this.

I have been opposed by society, expelled from school and criticized by all people. The reason I have been able to come through even the most difficult course is that I always think of how Father has suffered so much more in order to do God’s will and that I will endure anything for him. As long as the living God exists, I will accomplish his Will.

This is how I have come this far and this is how I will continue into the future. All of you are going through many difficulties now but let’s endure and become victors before God.”

Budowanie dobrych relacji -> minimalizowanie kosztów społecznych

(...) zapewnienie większej liczbie dzieci optymalnego startu z odpowiednim wyposażeniem emocjonalnym, umożliwiającym radzenie sobie z życiem, wymaga odpowiedniej inwestycji we wczesne wychowanie. Stworzenie warunków, w których każde dziecko ma rodzaj wrażliwej na ich potrzeby opieki, niezbędnej do odpowiedniego rozwoju, oznacza, że dorośli, którzy są za to odpowiedzialni, muszą być doceniani oraz wspierani w wykonaniu swojego zadania. Wiązałoby się to z całkowitą przemianą naszych kulturowych postaw. Zamiast kryć się z karmieniem piersią, zaczęlibyśmy je akceptować i doceniać. Zamiast izolować kobiety z dzieckiem w domach - opierać wychowywanie dzieci - bez względu na to, kto bierze na siebie tę rolę - na lokalnej społeczności osób dorosłych.

Congratulations on your beautiful little family! I sent an ask a while back but maybe I missed your reply? I just wanted to find out if you can recommend some parenting books (if you've read some)? I really admire your parenting style

This was nice to receive, thank you! I haven’t read many books (I mainly just look at gentle parenting blogs and websites and stuff that resonates with me), but I like “my child won’t eat” by Carlos Gonzales and “why love matters” by Sue Gerhardt. I don’t think anyone can be perfect and we’re allowed to have bad days but I think it’s just important to try and be as present as possible and remember that they’ve still got years of learning and developing to do so be as kind as possible while they figure out who they’re trying to be 😊

It is hard to see how the average voter, who may or may not himself have a highly developed sense of empathy, would in any case be capable of identifying moral qualities in a potential leader - so perhaps we get the leaders we deserve.

The life of the baby in a stroller

Could the use of the best baby strollers in the development of language in children be influenced in any way? In Britain, teachers have been observing for some years a decline in the language skills of many children, to the point that they have begun to wonder whether the use and orientation of strollers could influence this. Babies sitting facing forward do not have eye contact with their parents or caregivers, and therefore cannot interact with them. In the noisy urban environment, babies may have difficulty even hearing their parents speak to them. Of course, this has not always been so, or everywhere. The use of strollers for the transport of babies emerged in the nineteenth century in Victorian England, but those first strollers were designed placing the baby in front of their caretakers. It was not until the late 1960s that the first collapsible pushchairs emerged, adapted to the small size of modern urban dwellings. The need for them to fold caused them to be designed so that the child is turned away from the adult pushing the umbrella strollers. If babies spend a considerable number of hours during their first years on little chairs that interfere with others, could not this make their learning of language difficult? Neuroscience tells us that the brain develops mainly between birth and 3 years, when social interaction favors neurological development or, on the contrary, slows it down. Sue Gerhardt explains forcefully in Why Love Matters how interacting with others and especially with parents or primary caregivers, models the baby's brain and the development or limitation of certain brain areas. The first study form Best Baby Strollers Reviews made it possible to observe that the saddles where the baby is facing the route are by far the most common ones, but that babies were much less likely to interact socially in such chairs. Only in 11% of cases did the caregivers speak to the children. On the other hand, in chairs that allow babies to be taken in front of their parents or caregivers, it was seen that they spoke to them in 25% of cases, and even more when they were carried on them by baby carriers or when they walked with them. Could it be simply that the more talkative parents tend to buy strollers that allow eye contact with the baby? It does not seem likely, since in the second study of the Dundee team 20 mothers and babies between 9 and 24 months tested both types of strollers, and it was possible to see that during the journey heads to face the mothers spoke to their babies double , And both they and the babies laughed more. In addition, babies' sleep patterns and heart rate were different when they were facing the road or facing their mother or caregiver. Of course, children do not spend all their time in pushchairs or umbrella strollers, but they do, on average, spend about two hours a day in them. Current scientific knowledge tells us that the child's language development is determined almost entirely by the daily conversations his parents have with them. By taking the baby in a stroller that dulls the interaction, parents or caregivers cannot see what things attract their attention and lose valuable opportunities to talk and communicate.

 My Practice

Last week I began making new work, after going a while without making my ideas tangible. The work follows the same path that my past projects have - lineage, heritage, bloodlines, ancestry, bonds, maternal relationships. I had noticed myself weaving and plaiting materials when making less conceptually considered pieces recently; it seems a few elements are now coming together.

Here I begin the painstaking and delicate process of weaving my hair with my mother’s. I plan to add my Granny’s hair into this process; a process that is slow and careful, much like the growing of a person is. 

Working in this way connects me more personally to the theoretical aspects of my current studies - I have begun ‘Why love matters: how affection shapes a baby’s brain’ by Sue Gerhardt (2004), which compliments the learning in art therapy around attachment theory.

A form of 'democracy' superimposed over an unequal society focused on making money cannot itself conjure up a sense of unity.

Separation from Parents Is Harmful to Children

It's beyond dispute. Separation from parents is traumatic to kids.

Judith L. Herman M.D. is a part-time professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.    Posted June 19, 2018

Decoding Trauma

It has come to this: Child abuse is now an official policy of the U.S. federal government. I am speaking about the immigration policy known as Zero Tolerance.

Under Zero Tolerance, instituted in May 2018, families presenting at the border without proper papers, including those following established protocol to seek asylum, are charged as criminals. The parents are detained, and because their children cannot legally be imprisoned with them, they are separated from their parents and entrusted to the tender mercies of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). These are children as young as toddlers, literally taken from their parents by force.
