You know and I know that… There’s a definite link these days between the dreaded issue of screen time and poor sleep. It’s a result of the pesky emission of an artificial blue light from electronic devices which can suppress the release of melatonin, a hormone which helps to induce sleep. Annoying though it is it can’t be denied that social messaging, gaming, web surfing, very often occur in the evening and even watching TV cause the blue light effect! So, try not to overdo it if you want to get a calm and relaxing sleep! For better sleep and relaxation, here is something and someone who can h ..read more

Read on for a helpful way to soothe your skin and sleep! From my personal experience I can say that at times skin irritation has felt almost unbearable. About three years ago for no apparent reason I developed Urticaria (sometimes known as Hives). Prescription Cream A skin specialist prescribed a corticosteroid cream (check the web for a brand name) which I used as advised and, sadly, it did no good whatsoever! Over the counter creams Various pharmacists suggested other medications as support or alternatives and I have to say that the best has been Eurax (an anti-itching cream), and Aveena a s ..read more

I’m dry at night What a joy to find this mail in my inbox! Dear Lynda, We wanted to thank you for your help with bedwetting, it worked really well on our son when everything else had failed (he was 8 already and we had tried every trick in the book!). My advice to parents is to keep playing it every night when your child goes to sleep even for weeks and weeks and slowly, it works, without any drugs or therapy! Also, we’ve definitely seen a huge improvement on his mental focus thanks to your hypnosis recording as well, he’s now the one in the family who remembers everything and his homework is ..read more

I am currently being overwhelmed with requests for help with issues that are rooted in anxiety but often show up in different behaviours with different people. Anger may be anxiety based Some of the most common problems are very clearly anxiety based. However, anger for example can often arise from underlying anxiety which the person doesn’t want to acknowledge or just doesn’t know how to handle. The frustration that many children experience through feeling unable to handle their anxiety can cause angry and sometimes violent outbursts towards others which of course escalates the problem! Schoo ..read more

Have you ‘tried everything’ with no success? I am overwhelmed with mails from parents telling me that ‘they’ve tried everything’ and nothing works! When I ask them if they have already tried my children’s audios to relieve anxiety or encourage sleep they usually say No and that I am their last resort! If only my sleep meditations could be their first resort! They could probably find their answer with far less stress and heartache than they thought possible. My calming and sleep meditations for children can work wonders at very little cost. They come in the form of calming bedtime stories and w ..read more

When prospective clients call me to see if I can help their very young child … maybe three or four years old … I usually advise them NOT to think about a more costly one-to-one session option but to buy one of my inexpensive published audios specially written and recorded for that age group and see how their child responds to that. Some marketing ‘gurus’ cannot believe why I would do this! They ask me why I turn down the greater fee for a session for the small price of a short audio!  There are several answers to this. The first is that I’m in the business of genuinely helping people not ..read more
