High Expectations
'According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications, that a transformation is taking place, within you, toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is, that you stop worrying things don't bother you any more. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities, and this accelerates to the point where you actually experience, the miraculous'. — Deepak Chopra.

After a Stroke/Brain Injury
Every stroke/brain injury affects survivors differently; some survivors may exhibit aggressive behavior and somewhat of 'split personality.' Others may experience severe sensory/auditory challenges as well as sensitivity to noise and lights. Another post-stroke/brain injury challenge is eating; survivors are highly prone to choking on solids and liquids, therefore, they need to be supervised carefully while eating their meals. Many experience a loss of taste buds. Survivors need to establish a routine using calendars, to-do lists, and other means that'll help them organize their daily life. It's important to make sure things have labels and remain in the same place to make it easier for survivors to access; change of location can cause survivors unnecessary anger, rage, or frustration, and rage is another very real challenge for stroke/brain injury survivors, so they need to find a safe and harmless outlet. It's important to offer survivors different kinds of activities to do according to their comfortable abilities and safety; don't stress them out or they may become aggressively violent. Not every survivor will face these challenges, but caretakers need to be ready to diffuse the situation without putting themselves or a survivor in danger.

Helicopter Parent
Today, I want to talk about the label “Helicopter Parent.” It is a label that I cannot stand, but I will wear with pride. It is used a lot, when school staffers discuss ASD parents, who are in constant contact, requesting modifications, updates, meetings and accommodations for their children.

Holistic Medicine Explained
Holistic medicine treats the body as a whole instead of parts. Conventional medicine is used to cure disease, while holistic medicine will balance the body. The practice of holistic medicine has been used in many different cultures and in many different ways to bring a balance within the body and mind. Current holistic principles are to obtain optimal health by helping the patient mentally, physically, and spiritually; treat with love and unconditional acceptance, and establish a relationship so the patient realizes they are not a statistic to you.
