If you haven’t clicked over there yet, try to check it out. These are wonderfully warm, informative, talented and fun people offering a wealth of insights and personal experiences. The question we just got about what to do for a fearful 8-year-old who’s been terrified by the random violence of the Boston Marathon bombings on this week’s... text/html 2013-05-13T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com/update-from-belleruth/two-free-webinars-from-br-on-traumatic-stress-now-posted.html Last week I recorded two webinars (http://www.idga.org/government-defense-it-communications/webinars/idga-webinar/ utm_source=idga.org utm_medium=IQ utm_campaign=IQHomeListing utm_term=webinar mac=IDGA_WBNR_Featured_2010) for IDGA, AKA the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement. They’re now available free here (http://www.idga.org/government-defense-it-communications/webinars/idga-webinar/#register-form?utm_source= utm_medium=18482.004 utm_campaign=Webinar utm_term= utm_content=webinar 1 mac=IDGA_NL_05021). This is the same presentation that I delivered live at the Military Behavioral Healthcare Summit 2013 in Alexandria VA, and it’s being promoted for all military healthcare professionals, industry and independent physicians to watch. In Alexandria at the conference, I really had too much material for one session, so I had to zoom through it. And there were technical glitches at the hotel with... text/html 2013-05-06T12:00:00+01:00 http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com/update-from-belleruth/new-kids-guided-imagery-for-concentration-anger-grief.html Hello again. We ordered three terrific new kids’ titles by Mellisa Dormoy for our summer catalog – her guided imagery to help with grief; another for managing anger; and a third for encouraging focus, concentration (help with ADHD). We’ve been looking for good kid resources on these topics for a very long time now. These audios arrived at the warehouse sooner than expected, so Cindy asked me to tell you about them now. And I’m happy to. My grandkids have been test-driving them, and the grade school set has given Mellisa an enthusiastic thumbs up. text/html 2013-04-29T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com/update-from-belleruth/belleruth-s-event-calendar-talks-teleseminars-and-webinars.html Hello again. People have been asking when and where I’ll be speaking next. I’ve cut down the amount of public talks I’ve been doing – mainly because I’ve got a lot of compellingly delicious grandkids to visit, plus there’s some serious travel-for-fun I want to get to, while I’m still a pretty spry and energetic dame. So I’ve slowed down on my speaking. But I don’t plan to stop, and besides, there’s always the handy webinar and teleseminar, where you can give a talk or workshop to a national or international audience, and still stay at home.... text/html 2013-04-22T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com http://www.belleruthnaparstek.com/update-from-belleruth/dave-raul-s-military-friendly-guided-imagery-intro-is-now-a-free-download.html Arthritis Today (http://www.arthritistoday.org/arthritis-treatment/natural-and-alternative-treatments/meditation-and-relaxation/guided-imagery.php) on the value of guided imagery for pain, depression and anxiety in arthritis patients, was making its way around the internet last week. It quoted Hillary McLafferty MD, a national expert on guided imagery, hypnosis and acupuncture, who made some important points. I encourage you to check it out. Dr. McLafferty’s deep expertise in pediatric integrative medicine landed her a highly prized and much deserved spot at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, where she helps direct the Integrative Medicine Fellowship, founded by game-changing integrative medicine pioneer Andy Weil MD and run by the brilliant Victoria...
