Narcotics Overdose Prevention and Education (NOPE) Task Force is a nonprofit that goes into schools and colleges to educate students and parents.

By Rachel Gomez
Not enough action is being taken at the state and federal levels to combat the growing illegal distribution of illicit drugs and powerful prescription pills. Close to 24,000 people die of drug overdoses every year in the U.S., according to federal statistics.

Narcotics Overdose Prevention and Education (NOPE) Task Force is a nonprofit that goes into schools and colleges to educate students and their parents about the dangerous consequences of using and mixing legal and illegal drugs. The agency brings its message to both public and private forums to focus attention on an epidemic that is killing children and adults alike. NOPE Task Force also aims to get youths addicted to drugs into treatment programs.

During this time of year, the holiday season can be hard for parents who have lost children to drugs. NOPE Task Force has a support group for them in West Palm Beach, Fla. so they can openly discuss their problems, process their feelings, and hear others talk about their situations.

NOPE Task Force believes that whether you’re a young person dealing with substance abuse or a grieving parent, you’re not alone. To find out more about NOPE Task Force, visit www.nopetaskforce.org.

The Sound Pillow Therapy represents another way in which the philosophy of holistic healing is used to support the physical, mental and spiritual growth for addicts. Healing Sound Pillow Therapy uses a pillow to reproduce sound from any listening device to help addicts to reduce stress and create a sense of balance within and around them.

All these practitioners have intuitively understood that sound represents energy, energy which can be transmitted and used by humans to reach higher levels of health and consciousness. Practitioners of this ancient ritual enjoy a more complete relaxation and deeper focus during meditation, resulting in greater levels of stress release.

The Sound Pillow offers a rewarding alternative therapy that can be integrated into a client's lifelong meditative practice to reduce the stresses of life that addicts all look to escape.The Sound Pillow put one on every client’s bed and the new comers will have help dealing with those sleepless nights.

A Healthy Heart and Mind During The Holidays Can Be Possible
November 23, 2009

Mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing, chocolate cake, and pie may sound like a good mix of foods for a holiday celebration. How ever, they are not a good mix for a good diet. If you are trying to stick with your healthy heart diet throughout the holidays, you won't be shocked to know that you will face your ultimate temptations during the holiday times. It can be more than difficult to stick with your healthy body plan.

Many people abandon it totally, only to start back up after the New Year. But, if you are serious about staying healthy, you should continue your regular diet and exercise program, no matter what holiday is rolling around! Diet Sure, it can be extremely challenging to stick with your diet during the holidays. When you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner at your grandmother's house, you won't want to offend her by passing on the stuffing and cheese potatoes. So, you will have to do some thinking.

If you are afraid to offend those cooking for you, be sure to take a little of everything. If you stick with small portions you should be good to go. Don't finish everything on your plate however. If you get the opportunity to bring something for the dinner, be sure you choose something that is healthy. That way you can have more of that healthy dish and less of the fattening dishes.

If you are lucky enough to cook the entire meal, then you can add heart healthy foods throughout. Your family might not be too keen on the idea of eating healthy at first, but they will thank you later for your good judgment.

Three Reasons Why Creating Stress Free Holidays Can Make You Happy

It is incredibly sad that American holidays are turning into huge festive stress-fests! Once upon a time holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas were enjoyed by everyone because they were not full of the stress they are full of today. Sure, the same events happened each year that still happen now. Turkey was served at a big family gathering for Thanksgiving. Gifts were exchanged with family and friends for the Christmas holiday. However, they were done on a much smaller scale. Today everyone rushes around trying to prepare an enormous meal for Thanksgiving and trying to spend their last penny on Christmas gifts. It can be difficult to get through the holidays without loads of stress. However, if you can find a way to create stress free holidays, you will find that you can be happier during the holiday season. Take a look at these three reasons why creating stress free holidays can make you happy. No Pressure Starting from the bottom, the number three reason why you should create a stress free holiday plan is because when you do so, there will be no pressure. No pressure to max out your credit cards on gifts for others, no pressure to serve the perfect dinner to everyone you know, and no pressure to volunteer for every single holiday activity taking place. Getting through the holidays with no pressure may seem impossible, but its not. When you are honest with everyone around you and honest with yourself, you will know that it can be done. Put price limits on gift giving. Make a deal with yourself that you won't commit to more than one or two activities a week. Doing these little things can create stress free holidays for you and your family! Enjoying The Little Things. The number two reason you should create a stress free holiday plan is so you can enjoy the little things. Watching the fresh snow fall on the ground, taking a stroll to see the neighborhood holiday lights, savoring the taste of your grandmother's mashed potatoes, or whatever you like to do can be priceless. Unfortunately most people are so busy with other things that they don't take the time to enjoy the smaller holiday blessings. So, be sure that your holiday plan gives you enough time and room to be relaxed and enjoy everything going on.
Love & light,

Etti
