I've been out of work now for three months, creditors are looking up our address, and my mother had a stroke a few nights ago. This (what I like to call) lesson is becoming more stressful everyday. :-( IT/IS/MIS (read as computer) job-hunters seem to be a dime a dozen ... every time I throw a dime down on the floor, a dozen IT job applicants jump out of the woodwork scrambling for it! :-) I digress ... The only tool I have for trying to get un-stressed and reduce stress-tremors or regular-tremors for a bit is something the more techno-oriented will call: Hemispheric Synchronization. I have a link on my personal page on my Web-site that points to a general description. I believe the URL is: http://www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/hemi-sync.html For the techno-impaired, it is similar to the state of con- sciousness that the Indian fakirs use before performing their "amazing feats." It really is nothing more than synchronizing both hemispheres of the brain (hemi-sync) to produce the exact same types of brain waves at the same time. Some would say the mind is completely awake while the body is perfectly asleep. And, we all know what happens to tremors when we sleep ... ;-) It works for me, I don't know if it works for any other PWP. Well, all, I'm off from Cincinnati, OH to Orange, CA for a few days to help my mother recover a bit. How, you might ask, is an out-of-work computer guy able to afford airfare? Children who have jobs with airlines are a marvelous resource! :-) Don't know if I'll have 'Net access out there. So, take care and grok in fullness ...
