I'm not currently pregnant or near trying even, but I'm fascinated by pregnancy and childbirth and hope to work in the area someday, either in research or hands-on.

Indigo Children - Meditation, Relaxation, Anxiety, Stress Management My 7 year old daughter was having an extremely hard time dealing with the stress in her life and having significant behavior problems.

I bought all 3 of the Indigo Dreams CDs for children/teens. I have 2 daughters who deal with anxiety. My youngest anxiety was so severe that she ended up in ER with a panic attack, which increased her anxiety even more - it was a horrible cycle.

She's been using these for almost a month and now her bedtime is so peaceful and easy - no longer does ...

Anxiety Disorder 27 Comments: Ricardo said... Thank you for sharing I have so much to say on this. The anti depressant thing is a cure worse than the disease. My creativity plummets and I always feel drowsy. Now working out has helped a great deal with my depression as well. In fact I was able to get off anti depressants through exercise and was doing great until....the panic attacks. Now I'm back where I started. I was very worried about getting on planes (something that never bugged me before) and going to parties. It was just awful. A stiff drink did the trick for a bit but as you say, not the thing ...
