Owie-Cadabra’s Verbal First Aid for Kids:
A Somewhat Magical Way to Help Heal Yourself and Your Friends, by Judith Simon Prager, PhD, Illustrated by David Hudnut

This is a book for kids and for their parents to share with them. Beautifully illustrated, it is rich with examples of ways that children can talk to themselves and their friends when hurt and afraid to start the healing.
“Owie-Cadabra’s Verbal First Aid will change the way children speak to themselves and their friends about crises big and small and help them know they have the ability to support their own healing.”

"Verbal First Aid is far more than a parenting guide. It is a profound prescription for nurturing our children and evolving civilization to the healthiest levels possible!"

--Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, Cell biologist and bestselling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles and Spontaneous Evolution

~ Kathleen Archibald Simon, RN, HN_BC, Board Member of Children’s Memorial Hospital, Chicago, IL

“When children learn this language of healing for themselves there is the opportunity for a generation to grow up more emotionally and physically healthy than occurs now. And who knows how much this might change our world!”

~ Susan J. Clark, MD, Director of Endocrinology, Children’s Hospital of Orange County, CA

“If you have a child in your life, run out and buy this book! It’s as necessary in every home as a box of Band-Aids.”

~ Award-winning children’s book author April Halprin Wayland

Verbal First Aid

Review
"Verbal First Aid(tm) is far more than a parenting guide. It is a profound prescription for nurturing our children and evolving civilization to the healthiest level possible!"

-Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, cell biologist and bestselling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles and Spontaneous Evolution

Product Description
Words as Medicine
What to say to your children to get them through the bumps, bruises, and crises of childhood.

Falling off a bike, having a bad dream, getting stitches...sometimes a kiss isn't enough to make it all better. But what you say to your child in those first moments of pain or fear could make all the difference.

Using techniques the authors have taught to doctors, nurses, and first responders, Verbal First Aid(tm) explains how words can be used to promote healing from burns, bruises, nightmares, asthma attacks, and more. It provides scripts and tips on how to short-circuit traumatic memories, sometimes just by speaking a sentence or two.

This revolutionary book gives parents the responses they need to immediately stabilize their children's emotions. And these methods will build a foundation of confidence and inner strength that will help kids heal at the deepest level, and weather whatever hardships and difficulties they encounter throughout life.

Journey to Alternity

What if you could change your life, your health, your world in the wink of an eye? Like an optical illusion, a picture hidden in a picture that suddenly reveals itself with a change of focus, so alternate realities — "alternities" — await your discovery. Through true and astounding stories of healing, exercises to experience the mysteries for yourself, and detailed explanations of the quantum science behind them, you will discover how it is possible to change your health and your world with your imagination.

This book uses the metaphor of metaphor to explode the prison of limits that has characterized three-dimensional life. It uses the illusion of allusion to melt hard forms and make them malleable. It offers you Alternity — the domain of endless possibilities — and invites you to move in.

The Worst is Over

Review
"A major contribution to healing and one of the most original books I have read in some time. " -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words and Healing Beyond The Body

"The Worst Is Over is like an answer to a prayer. It gives everyone, from parent to firefighter, the knowledge and courage to say exactly the right thing at the right time in a way that is healing, uplifting, and also life-saving." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (Bantam, 1998), The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, March 2001)

"This book will be known as the seminal work for teaching compassionate crisis intervention... the 'bible' for crisis communication." -- Patti White, Ph.D., Editor International Journal of Emergency Mental Health

Product Description
Your child has a bike riding accident. A friend undergoes surgery. Your father has a chronic pain condition. One day, maybe sooner, maybe later, someone close to you will experience a medical emergency. Health issues escape no one. Knowing CPR and other “techniques” is great – but not enough. What do you say when you’ve done all you can?

The Worst Is Over is Verbal First Aid to calm, relieve pain, promote healing, and save lives. It will give you the words to say to let the healing begin. We all know that the words we chose can raise our blood pressure, make us smile, or bring tears to our eyes. It only makes sense that the power of works can also positively affect a person’s heart rate, temperature, breathing, cardiovascular, limbic, endocrine, circulatory and respiratory systems during an emergency situation.

This groundbreaking work, substantiated by medical science, and already being used by emergency care professionals across the country, will become a standard in every home. Endorsed by professionals across the country, it is already in demand by the media.

 

CDs

Guided Imagery for Surgery

These CD's are meant to be used before, during, and after surgery to enlist your mind and body's innate wisdom for healing. They were developed in a pilot program for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

They have been used before, during, and immediately after operations with extremely positive patient and physician reaction.

"When we compared patients [in this study] to routine patients, we found there was a dramatic reduction in pain medicine and sleeping pills requested." Gregory Fontana, M.D., Director of Integrative Therapies for Cardiac Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles.

Anecdotally, nurses reported that some of the patients were able to go home sooner than expected and had fewer side effects from the anesthesia.

This program is now available for general surgery. It has been created to evoke and enhance the body's own inner healing mechanisms, so that patients' experience of recovery is improved. It addresses the autonomic nervous system, helping the body and mind to cope with surgical intervention and reminding the body of its "habit" of healing.

These CD's use metaphors and guided imagery as well as direct suggestions so that the patient enters the surgery with a feeling of calm, generating health-producing chemicals. Throughout the operation the patient is reminded to experience every touch as a loving, healing touch. A strong and positive vision of the future, of being more comfortable and capable, helps move the patient toward recovery in powerful ways.

Guided imagery for Chemotherapy

The "Guided Imagery for Surgery" CDs I created for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that are now being used by patients around the world.

When I was requested to do a CD for Chemotherapy, I thought about the times I'd sat with clients during their treatments. Sometimes I wound up putting the whole room into trance, to the confusion of the attending nurses!

But I thought mostly about why guided imagery works and the many ways my clients pictured their healing.
And I decided to make this as useful as possible for people undergoing both chemo and radiation.

So this disk contains the following sections:
• An overview--how to use this CD
• How and Why Guided Imagery Works
• Stories for Healing
• Guided Imagery for Chemotherapy and
• a special added section: The Secret of Relaxation--beneficial for everyone.
You can listen to a short sample of part of the Relaxation segment by clicking here.

‘In an ideal world, this CD would be provided to every man, woman and child undergoing chemotherapy. It does more than lift the spirits. In boosting the belief system, it also enhances the immune system. It is, in my view, a useful adjunct to any form or system used in healing critical illness. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a ‘must have’ for health professionals, those with cancer or who those who know of someone they care about who does’.

Charles Montagu, Hypnotherapist and co-founder of The Health Partnership in London, England.

One woman in Orange County, CA, with a virulent form of leukemia, listened to this CD and felt herself expand beyond her body during the relaxation track. She said, “I could feel the minute I went into remission.” After her course of chemotherapy was finished, she was tested and found to have no traces of the leukemia. She said, “My doctors are stunned and pleased. I am overjoyed and grateful. I have discovered how powerful mind/body work is and how empowered I feel participating in my own healing.”
Another woman in England who was “getting her affairs in order” and preparing to die, found that she wanted to live after listening to this CD series and undergoing chemotherapy, and she is now in remission.


Bonding With the Baby WIthin
Audio Program
A prenatal program to provide a healthy emotional template for your baby’s life

“Bonding With the Baby Within” is a program of talks and guided-imagery sessions. In this program, pregnant mothers will learn how to connect with the natural wisdom of their bodies and minds. And they will learn how to help their soon-to-be born infants grow into emotionally, as well as physically, healthy babies.

“Babies read their mothers’ unconscious minds” according to Bernardine Celoni, MD, Chief of Pediatrics at Memorial Hospital in Arcadia. They are equipped prenatally to sense their parents’ love and their concerns. And they learn through their environment--the “soup” of their mothers’ amniotic fluid--and their mothers’ emotions.

Frederick Wirth, MD, author of Prenatal Parenting, says “Everything you think, feel and do while pregnant has a profound impact on your child both before and after birth. You are a brain shaper, a life shaper. Your role as a loving, powerful parent begins long before your baby’s first cry or smile.”

In a series of sessions, you’ll learn about or experience:
Bonding Mother and Baby
Linking Mother to Motherhood
Linking Baby to Family
Deflecting Negative Issues
Breathing the Breath of Love
Preparing Baby and Mother for Birth

And much more, including music and the importance of music and play to your unborn baby (A special track of soothing music for mother and baby is included.)

As a therapist who trained Pediatric Interns at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Verbal First Aid, as a colleague of the Director of Pediatrics at Memorial Hospital and a consultant to Children’s Hospital of Orange County, and as a featured speaker at the Conference of Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPPAH) in 2005, 2007, 2009, I have grown in my respect for this field and see its value in helping us to develop the emotional template that sets the tone for the baby’s life.

Babies are the future. Let us raise them well and consciously from the start, and all the world will benefit from their gift of well being.
