Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 It takes a lot of practice. You might want to try one of those guided relaxation tapes to get you started. If you put the tape on, get really comfortable, turn off the phone, etc. Then concentrate on your breathing, listen the what the person is saying, and try to think about what they are telling you. At first, all those thoughts are gonna be there. But, I found that if you have the guided tape, it gives you something else to try to think about. They talk you through it. It still takes a lot of practice. I learned in my mind/body class that we almost never live " in the moment " . we are constantly bombarded with thoughts that have nothing to do with what we are actually doing. It really comes out when you are trying to learn how to meditate, or go to sleep. One exercise that helps is called " mindful tasks " . When you have something to do, like say, wash the dishes, you concentrate on what you are actually doing. The feel of the plate in your hands, the water, the soap, the movements, and so on. You can do with with any task. Anything at all. The point is, we aren't thinking about NOW. I try to do this when I'm doing the dishes, which I loath more than anything else, and it actually helps me get through it without frustration. I'm not thinking, " UUGGHH! I HATE this, I just don't want to do it, I want it DONE! " So, what I'm doing is controling my thoughts. Then, when it comes time to meditate, you are more practiced in controling all those thoughts that bombard you. You can do this with eating. If you really like chocolate, but know you shouldn't be eating too much of it (for example) you can get one little piece, feel it, rub it on your lips, smell it, put it in your mouth and just let it sit there, thinking about the chocolate, and only the chocolate - how it tastes, smells, feels. So, what you are doing is controling your thoughts again. You will end up eating less chocolate, because it is much more satifying, and you are practicing controling your thoughts. So, instead of shoving a candy bar down your throat (the way I do) you are savouring a small piece. And, if you do this, it will probably be the best piece of chocolate you've ever had. As you go through your day, when you think about it, try to do mindful tasks. Even for a minute or 2. If you are filing paperwork, vacuuming the floor, making a copy on a copy machine, digging a hole, etc. Try to just hink about what exactly you are doing, not what you are gonna make for dinner, what repairs need to be done on the house, all those thoughts that make you so anxious, etc.... You know. The more you practice, the more you exercise your brain, the easier the meditaion will get. Don't give up. It really does take a lot of practice. I'm at the point where I get really relaxed, and I sort of feel myself slipping deeper into relaxation, then I jerk myself out of it. Like I'm afraid of what's there. At least that's what my therapist says. I just have to get tot he point where I can deal with whatever it is. And, it may be nothing. Practice, practice, practice!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 How does one go about learning to meditate? To totally clear your mind seems an impossible task for me, I have tried unsuccessfully to do it. Hi Betty, I love to meditate, though I haven't done a lot of it lately. Perhaps you need a guided meditation tape or CD. Go to Google and type in guided meditation relaxation tape, and there's LOTS that come up! That's how I started, and it's very easy, and wonderfully relaxing. Hope this helps! Love Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Betty - I hope you got my last post about this. One thing I do when I meditate, is I imagine a huge magnate outside my body, pulling the pain away. Then I take it and put it in a big ceramic bottle with a stopper on it. Sort of like taking it and shutting it away. Sometimes I throw it into a fire. It helps. You can imagine anything you want. whatever comes up. Try the tapes. They really help.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Be careful of your So Cal docs. That is where we used to live and our son went to a doctor claiming to do the Ponseti Method- but made too many variations. Our son regressed and we had to travel to Iowa to have him recasted at 15 mos. Any doctor you choose ask the board and Dr. Ponseti about. His office keeps a list of the goodies and not so goodies! Good luck to you. Remember, it is never to late to switch to the Ponseti method. Your son is still very young and has time on his side! Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 It is never too late to change doctors. We are seeing Dr. King in Tarzana, and he is doing a great job. We started out with a local ortho and were told that was going to need surgery and for some reason or another thought there has to be something better. We ended up in Iowa City. For us it was more practical, my inlaws live about 2 hrs from there and my brother inlaw actually works at the university hospital. Insurance was going to pay the same if we stayed here or went there, so that was an easy choice for us. Now that we have a new insurance, we don't have the luxury of going back to Iowa, and have seen Dr. Early and Dr. King with no problems. I would defineatly read up on the Ponseti protocol and be sure that the Dr. is doing the correct treatment. Where about in So Cal are you? We live in the San Valley. and 11/12/01 bilateral clubfoot > Our son Kody was born Feb 1st 2004 with a clubfoot. > The doctors went right away ahead and put his leg > in a cast.

I will read the protocol again and hopefully the treatment is going to be as good as in Iowa. How old is now? And how long was the treatment with the cast for her?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Dear , We are in Orange County, too. I had the dilemma about where to go, too. I wrote to Dr. Ponseti and he answered me soon after regarding doctors in Orange County. Here is what he said, I am sure this will be a big help to you and may help you avoid a trip to Tarzana since he recommends a doctor here in Orange County. Here is the actual text of his email: Dear Mrs. Hewitt: Before a physician is added to my web site, I request that he send me the photos of the feet of three babies he has treated showing the feet before treatment was started and after it was complete, etc. In today's mail I received this information from two California physicians: Dr. Carl Weinert, Jr., 1310 West Dr., Suite 508, Orange, California phone 714 633-2111 and Dr. Lerman, Shriners Hospital, 2425 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento CA 95817 phone 916 453-2049 The photos submitted by each of these physicians show excellent results and their names will be added to our web site.

He who rebelled against Dr. Ponseti's method for so long and as of 1.5 yrs had a 60% cut rate! He saw 's feet at the hospital and said that one of them had to get the surgery for sure. It is just hard to believe. I hope he is going to use Ponseti's method for real. Weinert was using the AFO not the DBB. WOW! If anybody goes to interview him, please let me know. I will try calling his office. Last time I called they refused to release any info to me. Dessi Re: Re: Question Dear , We are in Orange County, too. I had the dilemma about where to go, too.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I did see Dr. Weinert today and felt very comfortable with him. He answered all of our questions including all the ones from the list that this group said I should ask. He seemed very dedicated to Dr. Ponseti's non-surgical methods. He also said he had just been out in October to see Dr. Ponseti and he spoke highly of him. He also showed us models of the DBB he uses. I just want to reiterate that we were very happy with our interview with him and everything he told us about his treatment mirrored what is on Dr. Ponseti's website. I am a lawyer and I tend to get very particular in my questions but I felt very satisfied. Of course, one should make up one's own mind but again, so far I have had a positive experience with him. I am not due until August but will report then. Dessi Pickett DPickett@...> wrote: Incredible. Carl Weinert - the king of CHOC!
