Many people suffer from insomnia and/or difficulty sleeping, even more so when we can be subjected to stress, anxiety, or simply due to bad sleeping habits such as looking at the phone when we are already in bed or watching television until late at night. But surely at some point, we have all fallen asleep listening to some music in the background or we have witnessed how when humming a song to a child, they fall asleep almost immediately and this is due to the peace that our body perceives when it hears a melody. Music has a therapeutic effect since it is capable of releasing chemicals in our brain that allow us to feel relaxed and happy. When we listen to music the nervous system is cleansed and the body relaxes, making us feel freer, for this reason, some disciplines are accompanied by music to help the body enter a state of calm, such as yoga and meditations, or even when we go to a gym we listen to more animated music so that our body understands in some way that it is time to activate and emit the energy that is necessary, that is why it has been shown that people who listen to soft and relaxing melodies before going to sleep can rest much better. Music can be an important factor in the attitude of each person, depending on how we feel at a certain moment, we want to listen to a specific rhythm or even if we are not in the best mood we can resort to the music of our liking and raise our energies. Due to the positive effect that music gives us, it is a highly recommended method when we suffer from insomnia to listen to a soft melody, since it allows us to enter a state of peace, putting aside worries and offering us a space to imagine pleasant thoughts and get to sleep. In this episode, Dr. Carmen will be talking about relaxing music and the effect on people with Pablo Arellano, who is a composer and pianist who has participated in the direction of more than 8 films and in the production of more than 50 albums, Healing music creator and star of the Insight Timer platform.

Insecurity can be normal in small doses, however, when it persists for a long period of time and it interrupts your daily activities and thoughts, it is time to seek help. Getting rid of this excessive insecurity will help you achieve things that you surely have always wanted to do, without the burden of thinking that your knowledge, beauty, or skills are not enough.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are going to be celebrating Thanksgiving, please remember to be socially responsible and follow the health rules for this specific global situation. What is something you are grateful for this year? Putting aside all the bad things we've been through this year, there are still a lot of things we can be grateful for. Like for example, we have learned to be patient, we have taken old hobbies and made time for them. We have also learned to be more grateful in general.  But there is still a lot of room for improvement in our life. And now that we are so close to celebrating Thanksgiving, it is a good time to reflect on how we can make ourselves better while helping others grow too. This little story makes us reflect on the way we act and how many times we assume that everyone has the same knowledge or privilege we've been lucky enough to have in our lives.   Join the Emotional Freedom Challenge!: https://emotionsinharmony.org/challenge/   Are you ready to enhance your overall life?

There are countless ways for children to learn while they are growing, however, one of the ways that stand out in this topic the most is "modeling". Children always observe what their parents and the different adults in their families do and say, this includes the way they act towards certain people and situations, and later imitate what they observe.

*WARNING*  The episode you are about to listen to is a delicate one, and it could cause you feelings of sadness and uncomfortableness.   How vulnerable should we be with our own selves? Being sad is okay sometimes, and acknowledging that you are sad is even better. Even though sadness is the emotion that nobody wants to feel ever in their life, it is still an emotion, and we as humans have to go through and feel each emotion from time to time. Feeling sad and crying from time to time is natural, and it can even be healthy. Yes, it can feel scary, and sometimes it might feel like the world as you know it is going to end, but when we actually sit down and acknowledge that we need to cry, the tears that will come out will help you relieves stress, releases toxins, and will have a self-soothing effect on you. In this episode, Dr. Carmen will talk about how scary it can be to feel deep sadness, but also, she will tell us about how in her long path of professionalism, has seen people recover from it and enter a path of tranquility by taking their own hand and walking themselves to the other side of this big fence called sadness.   Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/carmenroman    Join the Emotional Freedom Challenge!: https://emotionsinharmony.org/challenge/   Are you ready to enhance your overall life?

The remarkable changes that we are experiencing worldwide have made us realize that stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia are the order of the day and anyone can suffer from it; we are human and every day we face various situations that can take us out of our comfort zone, making us feel nervous and afraid. The number of people who are suffering from anxiety and depression has increased exponentially. And believe me that with everything that is happening, not having anxiety right now would be a rarity, being that this is the way our body responds to situations of danger or fear. If you live with anxiety, depression, or insomnia you should know that the only way of minimizing the effect of these disorders is taking care of yourself; you can only get out of this when you talk about it and change your routine.

Have you been cautious enough these past months? One of the many things that we've learned from this "stay home" journey is that we need to be prepared for all kinds of situations. Although being home all day can be pretty safe, a lot of unplanned situations could take place at any moment; natural disasters, sickness, or family emergencies are things we should be prepared for in advance.  Being prepared for circumstances like these will also help your mental health in case something happens, given that you will not add more stress to the situation with the panic of not knowing what to do. In this episode, Dr.Carmen and her husband talk about the importance of being prepared for emergencies, especially during times like this. And they share with us a short and fun story of their own, where they had to evacuate their home for a few days.   What are we talking about:   Evacuating your own home California fires Preparing as a family for different situations Managing your emotions when there’s an emergency Survival kit     Join the Emotional Freedom Challenge!: https://emotionsinharmony.org/challenge/   Are you ready to enhance your overall life?

Some people think the concept of immigrants is this person who leaves their country and starts an adventure to improve their quality of life, but actually this definition applies even for people who move inside their own country because this represents a big change in their own adaptation process.  Lots of people change their residence place because they hope that with this change the problems and worries are going to disappear, using this situation as an escape method, but sometimes is quite the opposite and instead of minimizing them, they multiply. By doing a change like this, we have too much to learn about the culture of the new place and sometimes we ignore details that can put us in dangerous situations. It does not matter if you move from your country because you want to experiment with new things, to change your lifestyle, or to follow a professional opportunity, you must adapt to this culture.  In this episode, Dr. Carmen talks about the dangers and abuses immigrants could be exposed to when they are going through this process. What you are going to learn?: What is an immigrant? Dangers of being a legal or illegal immigrant.

DONATE HERE: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/equal-access-to-mental-health-services We have already graduated a cohort of 18 Spanish speaking people from 5 countries who received 33 hours of psychoeducational content. We named them “The hope fellowship,” and we are proud to say that so far none of them have contracted the COVID-19! Maybe because they are following safety guidelines or they are more assertive to offer and ask for social distancing. In general, they seem to have increased their resilience and are more willing to host difficult conversations with their loved ones.  We thought we were done, but it is now when more Latino families are contracting COVID-19, more families are being left behind in medical and psychological services. The demand is increasing tremendously. Now, we want to continue to provide these free sessions to our Latino community. And we need your financial support for this. Panic, Anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia levels are on the rise again with more cases than ever in our Latino community in all those countries. With your help, more Spanish speaking and bilingual low-income immigrants who are in need and cannot afford proper care will receive psycho-education and services at a free or reduced cost. People with trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. will have access to services on campus (when permitted), and/or psychotherapy and psycho-education, or via telehealth on mobile devices. Emotions in Harmony is a non-profit organization in San Jose, California that aims to eliminate mental health disparities experienced by bilingual and Hispanic immigrants by providing supportive and comprehensive psychological tools and services. This non-profit organization is a resource designed to empower and remedy the health inequities faced by these vulnerable populations. Addressing these vulnerable populations has been possible through Emotions in Harmony’s practical and informative discussions of psychological issues through podcasts, live videos, and direct psychological services; additionally, we have been providing psychoeducational groups free of charge or for very low cost during COVID-19. When given high-quality mental health services and information, people tend to commit fewer suicides, tolerate less abuse, and overcome their trauma to live more productive lives. However, many would never be able to pay for psychological treatment in the Bay Area. With your help, many families will find hope, harmony, and even happiness in particular in this crisis due to COVID-19. We hope that you will join us to impart empowerment and personal growth to undocumented, low-income, and under-served Spanish speaking and bilingual families in order to spark harmony.    Thank you for your consideration and help.
