This guest post is written by Heidi Lengel, birth & bereavement Doula, board certified music therapist, and owner and founder of Fulheart Family Support. She shares her thoughts on the recent Birthing Playlist from Spotify that recently blew up on social media. Childbirth and music can go hand in hand, but a birthing play list is a personal and impactful tool for birthing women.

Bones sinking like stones

All that weve fought for

Homes, places weve grown

All of us are done for.

These are words to a song on Spotifys recently released Birthing Playlist. Even today, the internet is still buzzing with delight at this new technique for using music during labor.

Ummmm, WHAT? That song is supposed to make me feel good?

As a board certified music therapist, professional counselor, and certified birth & bereavement doula who works directly with birthing women, I have to tell you I was excited when Spotify acknowledged how meaningful music can be. I agree with the sentiment shared by Dr. Mortiz: music strongly influences our central nervous systems limbic system which manages our memories, emotions, and how we deal with fear and pain. It makes sense that women would turn to music during childbirth as a source of comfort and strength. Dr. Gino Pecoraro also points out that music helps them relinquish controlyou have to during this process and the music can take over and help that to happen because it helps them calm down.

I can remember many times Ive witnessed, firsthand, musics amazing ability to provide great comfort, strength, and encouragement to women in labor. However, my excitement quickly gave way to disappointment as I listened to some of the songs.

Why? Isnt all music created equal? How could music possibly harm a Mom or baby throughout labor? Whats so wrong with using music to get pumped up during birth? Here are some of the reasons why music needs to be used with care and discernment during birth.

The emotional & physical needs of women vary greatly from the early moments of labor all the way to the first few hours of a babys life. A womans energy level can range from I dont have anything left to give to lets do this- now! in a matter of seconds. Pre-existing physical conditions can impact a laboring womans stamina and movements as labor progresses. Women experience feelings of elation and strength, while sometimes also feeling weak and despondent. Moreover, a womans mental health, exposure to stress and trauma, and support system can influence the course of labor.

Yes, it does. And lets be clear about something there is a difference between listening to music and receiving music therapy from a qualified professional. We might all enjoy listening to music from time to time, but music therapy goes beyond that: music therapists are trained to use music expressly for therapeutic purposes, and must follow rigorous standards of practice, clinical care, and ethical guidelines.

In fact, there are some amazing studies that show how music therapy can influence pregnancy, labor, and birth. Brownings 2001 study of music therapy in childbirth showed music therapy has the potential to make women feel more relaxed and in control- feelings which can directly inhibit the release of stress hormones like cortisol. Liu, Chang, and Chen (2010) discovered music therapy significantly lowers pain and anxiety during the latent (early) phase of labor. Hanser (1983) also found that music therapy lowered pain responses, increased concentration, and facilitated helpful breathing behaviors during labor. However, it is impossible to predict how one single playlist could support the complex needs of every woman, in every stage of labor. Just as important, one cant predict how each of the songs suggested in Spotifys playlist could impact physiological functions such as lowering blood pressure, increasing oxygen levels, and stablizing heart rate all wonderful goals for birthing women. Music therapist Beth Hardy of Heart Tones Doula discusses the importance of how music therapy guides the body and mind during labor:

So, heres the thing. Ask any qualified music therapist, and they will tell you: Music is VERY powerful, and sometimes it can have negative effects.

Dr. Brian Abrams put it best when he said, Its inaccurate to say music is innocuous. Music is a powerful medium and, as such, has the potential to help as well as harm, and is therefore not strictly benign. Moreover, it is inaccurate to call music non-invasive. Music penetrates us. In my practice alone, I can think of many times when women have specifically requested that certain songs (or even entire genres of music) not be played because of extremely difficult (often times traumatic) memories associated with them.

Music therapist and researcher Suzanne Hanser discussed how when she used music during the birth of her stillborn baby; she discovered music had the ability to comfort her: As labor progressed, the rhythm of the music guided my breathing and paced the next several hours. The stability of an ongoing beat in Vivaldis chamber music and Bachs keyboard works kept me breathing in their strict tempi, getting me through contraction after contraction, measure by measure. During a long and difficult transition stage of labor, Prokofievs chaotic and dissonant piano concerto matched my torment and somehow, curiously, I felt empathy with the music.

At the same time, she also realized it held potentially negative outcomes when offered to someone else experiencing distress: She revealed that the music had, indeed, provided some distraction and positive mood changes during the next two sessions. But, then at home, she began to experience nausea whenever she played these musical selections. Horrified, I recognized that this process was unwittingly conditioning a distressing response to this music. I needed to study the behavioral conditioning literature, and consult with fellow clinicians and researchers. My review of the development of classical and respondent conditioning paradigms enlightened me on these unexpected outcomes. Subsequently, I took care to pair music with relaxing effects in order to condition positive effects prior to experiencing any pain or trauma.

Babies can hear it all, yall. As early as 18 weeks, they can begin to hear sound. At 25-26 weeks, those little cuties can respond to sound. They can hear the music you bring to your birth and sense how it impacts your mood. Discoveries are being made every day about how babies are able to recall their birth memories. They are incredibly sensitive and responsive to the sounds they hear. The music we play during labor, birth, and the moments afterwards have a profound impact on a babys neurological development. To give an example, the cello suite recommend on the Spotify playlist may actually be too stimulating for a newborn who is busy regulating their breathing, becoming connected to Mom, and learning how to nurse. Classical music isnt always good? you gasp? Yes, even classical music is not always the best choice for your baby depending on the moment.

Have you ever heard a woman say she made playlists for labor and then hated them? Its probably because she didnt have the support of a music therapist guiding her throughout pregnancy and birth. But have no fear. There are an increasing number of music therapists specializing in music therapy assisted childbirth. Music therapist and doula Kate Taylor of Creative Childbirth Concepts provides these helpful suggestions:

In the enddo your research. Would you ask someone who is not a qualified birth professional to deliver your baby? I didnt think so. Then dont rely on musical recommendations for birth from someone who is not a qualified music therapist.

Look for a board certified music therapist near you who is trained to support you during pregnancy and birth. Empower yourself by creating a knowledgeable team of people you know and trust. At Fulheart Family Support, we offer music therapy assisted childbirth services throughout Philadelphia as well as online Birth Melodies consultation services that enable you to choose the best music to for you and your birth.

No matter what anyone tells you, make the best possible choices for you and then take a deep breath- your baby cant wait to meet you.

Continuing its path leading attendees to mental, spiritual and physical health, the Olean Meditation Center will soon offer the next in a series of themed presentations.

The next, titled Contemplative Prayer: The Experience of a Franciscan Friar, will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the center, 2275 Dugan Road, Olean. Franciscan Br. Joe Kotula will lead the talk.

The tradition of contemplative prayer goes back to the early Christian communities, most notably to the Desert Fathers, and has been carried on in monastic practice over the centuries, says Dr. Richard Reilly, president of the Olean Meditation Center.

The influence of Thomas Merton a Trappist monk whose career writings, including while at St. Bonaventure University, earned international acclaim has boosted the contemplative prayer tradition the last 50 years, Reilly says. He also credits many other faith practitioners. The tradition has become more accessible to laypeople.

Br. Joe, a friar in residence at Mt. Irenaeus since 1989, has had a profound influence on generations of Bonaventure students, Reilly says. Br. Joe shares St. Francis love of nature and has a particular passion for hiking. Our community is very fortunate to have this opportunity to become acquainted with contemplative prayer through the lived experience of a Franciscan practitioner.

The event will be free and open to the public, although donations will be gratefully accepted. Refreshments will be available.

Remaining programs in OMCs free Tuesday evening series include:

Olean Meditation Center events span topics pertinent to a broad range of religions. Most recently, the center hosted an interfaith forum titled Compassion: When a Stranger Knocks on Your Door.

The panel discussion, including speakers from various area houses of worship and religious organizations from Christianity to Islam to Hinduism addressing The Golden Rule treat others as you would like to be treated.

State and Union: Meditation center to host Franciscan friar - Olean Times Herald

When a crisis or challenge hits, everyone hopes that whoevers in charge remains calm under pressure while at the same time acting decisively and effectively to sort out the problem. But what if that person in charge is you? Unfortunately, so many of us, when faced with a critical decision in a moment of crisis, behave like a dear in the headlights of a car which stares in horror at the approaching lights but dares not move. These people end up achieving little or possibly, like the dear, making things worse.

It may be the last thing you would expect, but theres evidence that people who meditate regularly are more likely to act effectively when things go wrong. Lets take a look at why this might be and look at a quick technique that you can use to help out at those times when a crisis in the workplace (or anytime in your life) requires you to perform at your best.

Meditation used to be confined to Eastern religious gurus and trendy Californians. However, research, much of which is backed up by brain imaging techniques, has shown that regular meditation can produce real changes in the structure of the brain and consequently in the way we behave. Here are just some of the reasons why so many workplaces around the globe are encouraging their staff to take up meditation:

Regular meditators are better at coping with stressful situations

Meditation can help you to control your emotions

Meditation can increase emotional intelligence and empathy

Meditation increases mental resilience

Regular meditators are better at decision-making and problem solving

If you want to start experiencing some of these positive changes in the way you think and behave, then its time to make meditation part of your daily routine. It might be hard to find the time at first, but once you start to experience some of the benefits, you won't leave the house in the morning without having meditated, just as you would not leave the house without having showered or brushing your teeth.

You might decide to join a class or simply to listen to guided meditations in the comfort of your own home or in your office during the lunch break.

Another way to start a meditation practice is to combine it with another activity. Years ago I was having a tough time fitting it into my morning routine so I started meditating right after lunch, before I went back to work. I was already on a break, so I just extended it another 15 minutes with a meditation. I found myself really enjoying the quiet time before heading back to my desk and even experienced feeling rejuvenated and often inspired with new and creative ideas. It also gave me time to step away from the hurriedness of the day and problem solve with greater perspective and clarity.

A moving meditation is another option. Sometimes when Im having an unusually difficult day or just feeling unmotivated, Ill take myself on a short brisk walk. Ill even ask myself while Im walking a question or two and listen to any answers as a way to connect with my inner wisdom. Such as: How can I support myself right now? Or, What are some options for resolving this issue*? (*Insert the actual situation youre seeking solutions for here). Im always amazed at how much better I feel and the ideas that I come up with on these meditation walks.

Next time you have to cope with a crisis or challenge at work, try using this technique. It will only take a couple of minutes and will help you to tap into your inner strengths. Make sure you wont be disturbed for several minutes.

Sit comfortably in a chair with erect posture, close your eyes and focus your attention fully on how your body feels at this stressful moment. Is your jaw clenched? Are your shoulders tense? Has your breath changed from normal? Notice the thoughts you are having (without judging them). Now change your focus so that your attention is just on the sensation of breathing. Do not try to change the way you breathe. Just notice the bodily sensations as each breath goes in and out. Notice how it feels in your nose, lungs or abdomen wherever you feel the sensation of breathing most strongly. Continue to breathe naturally for a minute or so as you observe your breath and how youre feeling. Now open your eyes. You should feel calmer and more able to cope with what you now need to do. The more regularly you take time to pause and practice meditation the easier it will become to use this technique.

I suggest starting with a very easy and do-able first step. Experiment with a minimum of 5 minutes a day to begin. The benefit will come from your consistency versus trying to do 20 or 30 minutes right from the start. Once you have a consistent practice established, you can add more time to your meditation practice. But even if you only have a few short minutes to meditate, you can still reap the benefits.

If you have time to breathe, you have time to meditate.

Crisis at Work? Time to Meditate - Huffington Post

Varanasi, Mar 6 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today visited Garhwa Ghat Ashram here, which has considerable following among the backward castes, and paid tributes to former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri at his ancestral home.

Modi, who has been canvassing for three days in the district which elected him to Lok Sabha, offered prayers and also fed the cows at the ashrams shelter. The visit came on the last day of campaigning in Uttar Pradesh.

The head guru at the Garhwa Ghat Ashram has traditionally come from the Yadav caste and has followers spread across the poll-round region. Modis visit is seen as an attempt to reach out to the Yadav community, which has traditionally aligned with the Samajwadi Party.

The head guru offered his blessings and heaped praise on Modi. Though people expected Modi to make a brief speech but it did not happen and a senior party functionally said it was never planned.

Modi has held a roadshow here and attended a number of public events in the city along with several rallies in the region as part of BJPs last push for a good show, particularly in the holy city, in the final phase when polling will be held in 40 seats on March 8.

BJP sources believe that Modis visit and his public felicitation by the ashram will send out good signals to voters, especially the OBCs and the Dalits.

The Prime Minister later drove to Shastris ancestral home to pay tributes to him.

Modi has often accused the Congress of not giving due respect to leaders who were not from the Nehru-Gandhi family.

Modis Lok Sabha constituency has five assembly seats three of which are presently held by the saffron party.

BJP is engaged in a keen fight with SP-Congress candidates in all the seats with the BSP also putting up a strong contest in a couple of them.

Looking at the dual benefits of cutting costs and cutting emissions, Commerce Resources TSXV:CCE and TUGLIQ Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to assess the potential for wind energy on the Ashram rare earths project. Announced February 28, the MOU follows TUGLIQs preliminary evaluation of local and regional wind data proximal to the northern Quebec deposit that Commerce is advancing towards pre-feasibility. Funding for the wind energy study comes partly from the provinces Ministre de lnergie et des Ressources naturelles.

An independent power producer already active in northern Quebec, TUGLIQ operates a 3 MW wind turbine with energy storage that the company built in 2014 at Glencores Raglan mine. In the Northwest Territories, the Rio Tinto NYSE:RIO/Dominion Diamond TSX:DDC Diavik mine has been supplementing its diesel power with a four-turbine, 9.2 MW wind farm since 2012.

TUGLIQs Ashram study will consist of wind resource assessment, electrical system engineering and an integration study including assessment of greenhouse gas emission reductions.

We are excited to be collaborating with TUGLIQ and to have the support of the Quebec government on this renewable resource project, said Commerce president Chris Grove. We look forward to evaluating this potential in much further detail. The potential to incorporate cost-effective renewable energy into the Ashram project only makes it that much more attractive for development.

In mid-February the company closed a $1.71-million private placement that included $1 million from Ressources Qubec, a subsidiary of the provincial government corporation Investissement Qubec. The money will be used to complete Ashrams pilot plant and produce REE and fluorite concentrates for companies that requested samples. Among them are Solvay, Mitsubishi, Treibacher, BASF, DKK, Albemarle and Blue Line.

Having reached PEA in 2012, the high-grade, near-surface deposit features an impressive distribution of magnet feed elements and relatively simple metallurgy, suggesting a potentially low-cost operation.

Quebec maintains its respected position as a mining jurisdiction, according to a Fraser Institute study released February 28. Quebec ranks third in Canada and sixth globallyup from eighth spot last yearand is the only other Canadian jurisdiction [along with Saskatchewan and Manitoba] in the top 10 worldwide for overall investment attractiveness, the FI stated.

In another rare metals project, Commerce holds the Upper Fir tantalum-niobium deposit in southeastern British Columbia, which reached PEA in 2011 and a resource update in 2013.

Living a vegan lifestyle can be super-simple and full of only limited hiccups along the way. Sometimes, however, a curveball is tossed our way and we discover that a product we thought was (literally) harmless is actually non-vegan. The horror!

Even though Ive been vegan for nearly 9 years, I still remind myself to scrutinize ingredient labels of new foods before tossing them into my cart (and sometimes even familiar foods which may have been reformulated!). Every once in a while, a non-vegan ingredient creeps onto our plates. This does not mean we are bad advocates for the Earth and for the animalsrather, it means we are human and the food industries can be sneaky with how they produce stuff. Here are a few things to look out for on your next trip to the supermarket:

1. Non-dairy creamer. Most of the time, non-dairy means well, non-dairy. When it comes to powdered or liquid coffee creamer, this is usually not the case. These safe-sounding products still often contain milk ingredients, albeit in smaller quantities. Check out soy, almond or coconut-based creamers to be certain youre drinking your coffee cruelty-free.

2. Worcestershire sauce. Anchovies are a typical ingredient in this saucy staple. This means many Bloody Mary mixes are often non-vegan and non-vegetarian. If your bartender can make this drink from scratch, you can request to leave this sauce out. And, if you would still like its complex flavors to accompany your homemade dishes, there is vegan Worcestershire sauce out there!

3. Refined sugar. Some foods and beverages involve certain processing agents that come from animal sources. This includes a lot of refined sugars, which typically use bone char in their processing. Each veg person decides if this bothers them to the point of only purchasing (or baking with) vegan sugar.

4. Some beer and wine. Alcoholic beverages are another source of concern for some. Isinglass (fish bladders) or egg products are sometimes used to clarify wine and beer. Barnivore.com is a great resource to double-check whether your drink is animal approved.

5. Stir-fry sauces. Fish sauce, clam sauce, oyster sauce and others can find their way into all varieties of Asian-inspired dishes, whether you find them on a menu or you make them at home using bottled sauces. Call or email the manager of your favorite takeout spot to get a list of the dishes that dont use any of these ingredients so youll be prepared when you do dine out.

6. Candy coated in confectioners glaze. True story: one day I found myself with two different packages of candies in handeach from the same companyand discovered one flavor used carnauba wax to coat the candy and the other flavor used confectioners glaze. Glazed also describes what my eyes looked like because, what the hell? Carnauba wax is sourced from the leaves of a certain palm tree while confectioners glaze, or shellac, comes from bugsspecifically, the Lac insect (Eww).

7. Snack chips. Unless it says sour cream or cheese or bacon in the flavor description, potato chips are totally vegan, right? Wrong! Ive discovered milk ingredients in Salt & Pepper flavored chips, as well as some Barbecue flavors. Also, honey is sneaked into all kinds of chip varieties.

8. Cereals and candies with hidden gelatin. Gelatin is derived from collagen from a variety of animal body parts. It ends up in Jello, some cereals (Im looking at you, Frosted Mini Wheats), candies, pastries and all sorts of beauty and hygiene products.

8 Foods That Are Surprisingly Non-Vegan - Care2.com

PRIMM It has been a week of breakthroughs for talented, star-crossed auto racing drivers from Las Vegas.

Six days after Kurt Busch took the lead on the last lap of the Daytona 500 and pulled away to the victory, ending an 0-for-15 run in the Great American Race, it was Rob MacCachrens turn to have the racing gods smile upon him.

The youthful-looking 51-year-old demon in the dust was 0-for-forever in The Mint 400 before taking charge about 50 miles from the finish en route to being crowned the unofficial winner of the Great American Off-Road Race on Saturday.

MacCachren, one of the legends of his sport and a 2011 inductee into the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame, has won more than 200 races during a long and brilliant career, including the Baja 1000 four times. Somehow, The Mint had managed to elude him.

It eludes him no more.

How do you do this? said the Clark High graduate as he struggled to remove the cork from the big bottle of champagne on the victory platform as thousands cheered. This is harder than the race.

MacCachrens time over three laps of the 116-mile course originating behind Buffalo Bills in Primm was 5:37:35. Jason Voss of Cupertino, California, was second at 5:38:39, with San Diegos Andy McMillin third at 5:41:36.

McMillin was leading the final time around the wind-swept, rock-strewn course before sustaining a flat tire. MacCachren said he went the whole day without a flat and dutifully thanked BF Goodrich along with Rock Star and Ford and his other sponsors after he finally popped the champagne cork.

The Mint 400 draws the best Trick Truck drivers on the planet, and today we were the best one of those, said the gracious winner. Three of the last five years we were leading on the last lap before having a mechanical (problem). It really feels good to get that monkey off my back.

Nobody seemed to mind the cliche as this was a race MacCachren, the son of an off-road racer, had been trying to win since 1984.

Some of the media were beginning to ask me I said stop, MacCachren said about always coming up short in The Mint. So its good they wont have to ask me anymore.

Brock Heger of El Centro, California, was the unofficial winner in the limited class that left the starting line at the crack of dawn. The 17-year-olds time was 6:08:54. Wisconsins T.J. Tuls was second at 6:10:38, with Roger Starkey Jr., of Burbank, California, rounding out the podium finishers at 6:11:53. Each was driving a Class 10 buggy.

Information was sketchy on Jay Lenos race. The former The Tonight Show host and automotive enthusiast added his name to the long list of celebrity drivers who have competed in The Mint 400 by leaving the starting line just before 7 a.m. in a nearly stock Toyota Tundra. Race officials said when he turned the SUV over to his co-drivers, he looked extremely fatigued.

Las Vegan Rob MacCachren breaks through for Mint 400 victory ... - Las Vegas Review-Journal

A Georgia woman told authorities she intentionally drove into a chicken truck because she is vegan, according to a report.

Judith M. Armstrong, 26, was arrested at her home in Comer after the Feb. 21 incident in Hull, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.

A truck driver reported a car hit the side of his truck, deputies said. When he applied his brakes, the car again drove into the truck.

The car drove from the scene, but the responding deputy found pieces of the car as well as the license plate, the newspaper reported.

When deputies went to her home, Armstrong told them she was a vegan and hit the truck due to it being a chicken truck, according to the newspaper.

Armstrong was charged with DUI, hit-and-run, obstruction and aggressive driving, the newspaper reported.

He was on his way to sign what he thought was a record deal. But when all of his contacts vanished, he realized it was too good to be true.
