Heart Centered Therapy

'Desperation fuels US Army suicides'

Roland: They are committing suicide because there is no options for them. They are being treated, they are being drugged, they are using drugs and a lot of these people are not being sent into the system. So one of out of like eight veterans is committing suicide. I work with these veterans, I work with the veterans of the PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). What is really desperately needed with these veterans is a heart-centered approach, which is exactly what I am doing and finding incredible response when these veterans are looked at as people who want their soul to be touched and not as one who need to be drugged.They basically want to know that they had no choice by killing people. It works, I have had an incredible success story as a psycho-therapist working with these veterans. Veterans' Administration is overwhelmed with veterans who are not getting into the system which is getting drugs from big pharmaceutical companies which are ineffective; heart-centered therapy with them. They are alone that is why they commit suicide. You only commit suicide, speaking as a psycho-therapist, when you are all alone and you have no one to reach out to. Roland: The trend is there already. I don't know what he says. I am in the system, I know. The trend is already there, it is not being spoken to. One out of every eight veterans is killing himself. Why? Nobody is approaching their problem, especially the Vietnam veterans who were shunned when they came home from Vietnam War, still are to some degree. I work with these people; I am not speaking from some theory. I work mainly with Vietnam veterans and I like veterans.

Heart Centered Healing Arts: Massage Therapy for Headaches

Almost everyone has suffered the pain of a headache. Headaches can last for a few hours up to several days, and sometimes involve symptoms such as sensitivity to light and nausea. They can seriously impact daily life when they occur frequently or for an extended period of time. Massage is one natural alternative to allopathic medicine that can help relieve headaches while avoiding the side effects that often accompany prescription and over-the-counter headache medications. Massage Therapy Can Relieve Headaches

Since many tension headaches and migraine headaches are accompanied by neck pain, headache sufferers find that manual therapies such as massage offer relief from headache pain and related symptoms. Because massage therapy relaxes tense muscles, relieves muscle spasms, improves blood flow and aids relaxation, it can be helpful for relieving the pain of both tension and vascular headaches.

Types of Headaches: Muscle Tension and Vascular Headaches

The most common types of headaches are muscle tension and vascular headaches. Muscle tension headaches produce dull, constant pain on both sides of the head and may also involve an aching neck or sensitive scalp. They generally start slowly and can last from hours to days.

Muscle tension headaches are sometimes called muscle contraction headaches because it is the tightening of the muscles of the head, face and neck that causes the pain. This is why tension headache sufferers often describe their pain as a “vice-like grip” at their temples or as tightening bands around the forehead or along the base of the skull.

Vascular headaches are the ones many people describe as “pounding” or “throbbing.” They occur when the blood vessels that supply the brain and the muscles in the head swell and constrict. Vascular headache pain intensifies with physical activity and typically lasts from 4 to 72 hours. It may be associated with other symptoms such as vision problems, extreme sensitivity to light, and nausea. Migraines, cluster headaches and headaches that result from high blood pressure are all examples of vascular headaches.
