What would we be without our friends? Friends are the family we choose, furry or not! They are the ones who share our safe space, our shoulders to cry on, and our deepest belly laughs. International Friendship Month honors the beauty and necessity of friendships in our lives and is a call to bridge the gap between strangers and acquaintances. Peace and Love from UH.

The phenomenon of seeing repetitive numbers, particularly 11:11, has fascinated many individuals, often sparking the belief that our loved ones in spirit are nearby. This sequence is considered a powerful signal, representing a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Many interpret 11:11 as a reminder that the presence of departed loved ones is not only felt but also significant in guiding and supporting us. When we notice these numbers, it can evoke a sense of comfort, suggesting that they are watching over us. Embracing this connection can bring reassurance during challenging times, reinforcing our bond with those we’ve lost.

The effects of TBIs, such as stroke, can be felt across many different areas, such as communication impairment, motor dysfunction, and emotional issues. Music and music therapy have the unique ability to help improve the ability to communicate, improve cognition and motor function, improve mood, and, depending on the severity and timing, accelerate neurological recovery through neuroplasticity. Through interventions such as using strong rhythms, singing, playing instruments, listening to music, and songwriting, music therapy can improve the quality of life and well-being for those who have suffered a TBI, as well as for their caregivers.

Tyrosine is an amazing amino acid that our body uses to make the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is what boosts motivation, drive, determination and focus. It is our feel good center and reward system. During times of stress there is a decline in the levels of certain neurotransmitters. By mitigating this decline, l-tyrosine supplementation optimizes brain function and memory and helps to decrease cognitive fatigue. Tyrosine is also a precursor to the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which are responsible for healthy thyroid function, maintaining metabolism and energy.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or “tapping,” combines acupressure with psychology to release emotional blocks and ease stress. By tapping on specific energy points, EFT helps manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and anger, creating new neural pathways. Research shows that tapping reduces cortisol levels, which improves emotional resilience and supports clearer thinking. Clients find EFT useful for processing past trauma, handling daily stressors, and achieving emotional balance. This approach empowers you to embrace life with renewed clarity, strength, and self-acceptance. Reclaim your emotional freedom, reconnect with your potential, and move forward with confidence and peace.

Imagine how frustrating it must be to be unable to communicate your feelings. The amount of individuals diagnosed with autism is increasing at an alarming rate. Many with autism struggle with communication, social, emotional, physical, and sensory issues. Music therapy can use music and its elements to address the needs of those with autism. Interventions such as improvisation, instrument playing, singing, movement, and listening to music can help them understand and express their emotions, engage with others, teach concepts, and express themselves in a safe environment. Helping the individuals with autism, in turn, helps the caregivers of these individuals.
