Head-aches, I worked with uh six year old and her mother said you know can you help my daughter with her head-aches they went, her head-aches are nothing to do with physiological well they are. But I said she's super bright and mother said yet she's been identified as gifted __________Laurel__________ Then I taught her daughter how to meditate and how to get rid of the headaches using meditation and her mother sent me a message the next day and said her headaches went from like a-a 9 out of 10 to like 3 out of 10. __________Madison__________ Wow. __________Laurel__________ Not only that a week later her mom said she's a completely different kid. So what I have taught her is that when things became really stressful or when she was overwhelmed by a situation she actually could use meditation to ground well it was really stop, take a step back, focus in, breathe deeply and this child is a completely different child and so that's the work that I'm doing with these kids
