I was introduced to Color Therapy and color acupuncture by my healer David Adelson (AwakenToWealth.org). Using a color light machine, energy was better able to flow to my gums and my toothache went away. I know that color light therapy has been effective in treating burned victims, as well as minimizing nausea for those undergoing chemotherapy. Thank you for writing about this uninvasive, gentle yet effective healing modality.

Thanks for sharing! Our baby girl Sunny loves massage after her evening bath with a little bit of lavender in grapeseed oil - I strongly believe it's a good way to bond, promote relaxation and even babies need to " de- stress" a little ( :

Hello Sarah,
thank you for your comments. Massage can be started at any age and your 12 and 8 year old would benefit from it now. There's lots of ways to get around the cost issue. When i trained as a massage therapist we started off learning about touch by experiencing and performing hand massages on each other. So that is one idea. You can't really do anything wrong with massage strokes. I think its just important to try them and find out what each individual likes and dislikes. Use an oil like grapeseed which can be bought from the supermarket in the cooking oil isle. Its light and non greasy and has good slippage qualities. Try and do strokes away from the heart ie down the hand towards the end of the fingers, this creates relaxation (lowers blood pressure). Strokes towards the body/heart invigorate. Try and do it every day at the end of the day as part of a bedtime routine. Also try a foot massage, gentle circular strokes on the soles of the feet and firm strokes from heel to toes with several fingers and then strokes from bottom to top of each toe. Another nice massage is a head massage. In Australia nearly every hairdresser does this as part of the shampooing process. Its fab. I nearly fall asleep every time!
Another idea is to try out a local college that has massage students as they need people to practice on. Make sure they know and understand about the autism. Ask around as well, personal recommendation is always a good option.
So, hopefully I've given you a few ideas. Just try and you will be amazed,. Build up the parts of the body that are massaged, use the right firmness of stroke or the individual child - sometimes firm strokes are better as light strokes can be ticklish!
Good luck with it all Sarah. Let me know how you get in. Sending love and positive thoughts from Australia. Karen ;-)

Carmela, you are so right. So many teenagers just need someone to look past the mistakes and believe in them. They are learning and growing like everyone else. They are the future and they matter!

Sarah, so sorry to hear about your daughter missing. Have you found her yet? For resources for Autism you must check out Suzy Miller. http://www.suzymiller.com/ She has lot's of resources we think you will find very helpful. For your children, do you know anyone who does massage + energy work that would work within your budget? I even suggest emailing Suzy your questions or asking her on Facebook. Keep us posted on what you learn. Thanks for reading our blog and providing feedback. We really appreciate you. We will check into your massage question and get back to you.

2012-04-15T20:11:52.752-06:00

Hello Stacy and Carol. I have seven kids and three of them have special needs . One time we were taught about the value of massage to our children. Sad to say, I am not good with it as my 2 kids who have autism are now 12 and 8 years respectively .Is it alright for me to take them to a spa so a professional can have them do it ? What instructions or practical tips can you suggest if money is tight and a parent cannot afford the services of a spa ?

I also hope you can write about my autistic daughter's Sidney who frequently leaves home, become missing for a few weeks yet still get to come home safe . I never had the chance to have any of my special kids attend therapy sessions because financially I cannot afford it. Plus she does not want to attend school anymore and prefers to be in front of the computer often.

I love your posts. It helps us look at the world of parenting differently.

Blessings!

We were all once a teenager before. In my years I always focus on doing what I have to do to make better of myself. When I fail I treat it as a challenge and unlike others that sober in their failure. The thing with teens today is that they think less of themselves because of what some adults think of them.

I agree with your friend. Last night I meditated because I felt so sad, like I wanted to cry, but I knew from experience that it wasn't my 'stuff'.

I saw a crystal heart and was guided to meditate on a crystal heart inside of me which is connected via the crystal grid to everyone else on the planet. Time to work on the heart area!

Keya, we completely agree with your wise words. We all need to keep the arts in the schools. If that's not possible then we need to share music and creative arts with the kids in our lives. Thank you so much for reading our blog and for sharing your thoughts!

So very true. It is amazing how children particularly very young babies really respond to music in any form. You don't have to teach someone to enjoy music and movement. It just is. I agree with you the arts are SOOO very important. My children live in an urban area where the school system is slowing but surly removing the arts from the curriculum and I think it is terrible. We all need to be about to express our inner most selves. Music, singing, dancing chanting can all be very meditative and tools that can be use to connect to the divinity within us all.
