Reaching Your Own Level of Remarkable Resilience

B'SD

2 Elul, 5775

The Jewish year is ending with the month of Elul. It's a time for introspection.

This article addresses the topic of remarkable resilience to suffering. The words "resilience and recovery do not require extraordinary resources or an innate toughness, but rather a willingness to adapt to circumstances" strike me as profound.

A Can-do Message Far Beyond the Medical Sphere

B'SD

17 Kislev, 5775

Kislev is reputed to be a month of miracles. The life-saving Hanuka miracle of the Maccabees took place, then.


Maybe you can make a miracle, too,
no matter which holiday you celebrate. 

Want to be a hero as you do your best to save someone's quality of life, despite their diagnosis?

Here are some thoughts on that topic by mental health professionals:


"It's MY Crisis and I'll Cry if I Need To can be of enormous help
both to people with an illness and to those near to them.
Yocheved Golani's sharing of hope, courage and faith
will bring relief to many sufferers."

Rabbi Dr Abraham J. Twerski, MD, PhD, Psychiatrist, Director of Gateways Rehabilitation Center

"… This book is lifesaving, emotionally rewarding, spiritual, funny and helpful…" 
 Judith Guedalia, PhD. Director, Neuropsychology Unit and Chief Medical Psychologist ER Trauma  (MCE)Team at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel

"… a powerful 'can-do' message to those most in need of it… It could save your life or the life of your loved one. This combination of positive attitude and positive action makes this guide useful and complete. Its lessons extend far beyond the medical sphere to life challenges whatever they may be: lessons we can't afford to ignore." 
 Life Coach Y. Ives, England

Tapping Your Fingers Can Create a New YOU

B'SD


28 Tamuz, 5772


A big fan of EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, I recommend it to anyone troubled by baffling problems that don't seem to go away no matter how much therapy or spiritual counseling you seek out. EFT works by making specific, focused statements as you tap specific parts of your body with guidance from a certified EFT practitioner.
to get a quick look at 
what EFT is about.


EFT is a miraculous way to identify and to resolve emotional baggage and the sense of trauma haunting a person after something troubling happened to them. A competent EFT practitioner and your willingness to end your emotional problems are all it takes, along with your own simple finger taps on your chin, eyebrow, hand, head, ribs and collarbone.


I happen to have witnessed several EFT practitioners in action or I've worked with them on my own issues. 


I find Yehudit Yosef's EFT coaching to be a cut above anyone else's EFT work. Her intuition, perceptiveness and competence at EFT guidance while she speaks on the phone with a client is impressive. 


Yehudit only charges a nominal fee. Call her in Israel during normal Israeli business hours (mind your international time zone clocks!).


International callers can dial 
+972.011.547.718.442. 

People within Israel can call  
0547.718.442


Open yourself to new possibilities: Step out of old mindsets and into Emotional Freedom with user-friendly techniques. Proceed at your own pace and enjoy the relief that awaits you.


You might shed some tears as you face your fears, then overcome them in the safety of EFT. That's a form of healing.


A medical or emotional crisis - you'd cry too, if it happened to you. Use your tissues and handkerchiefs with my blessings borne of experience. GOD gives you Permission to Weep. And you can say that to any critics after explaining that "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To."

Facts of Life

B'SD


20 Adar 5772


The facts of life in Israel are frightening. The newest barrage of missiles sent from Gaza to Israel (AFTER Ariel Sharon gifted Gazans with our Gush Katif in 2005) started this past Shabbat after Shushan Purim - the day following Purim for everyone outside walled cities.


A mixture of more than 200 grads, kassams and other dangerous WMDs have hit Israel since then. 80 missiles have landed since this past Friday.


If your mainstream news media are not reporting the reality that Israel's Jews are under siege, they are withholding factual information from you. Ask yourselves why. The answer is deadly serious.




People are wounded, traumatized and suffering in many ways. Some Israelis are clinging to the calming words in EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. And finding solutions to their medical costs inside. Imagine what the book can do for you.



Please join our prayers for enduring peace and safety.

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism.

Bouncing Back from Brain Injury


B'SD

4 Shvat 5771


My heart goes out to
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and all the 19 defenseless people shot at an intentionally pleasant community event in Arizona, USA yesterday. Any sane, compassionate person is reeling from the horror of the event.

There are ways to recover a measure of calm after emotional and physical shocks.

There are ways to recover from, and to cope with, brain injuries and other medical problems.

But not everyone knows how.


If you're reaching out for answers
and other forms of help,
read an E-book that
mental health &
medical professionals
recommend:




GOD willing, you'll find outlets that you need in the text and Global Resources sections.


One of the overriding lessons of EMPOWER Yourself
is the potential to cope with
and to heal from
grim prognoses.
Look who wrote the book, after all.





Quick and convenient E-book

Leave the Trauma. Live Your Life!


B'SD

29 Nisan 5770



Leave the trauma. Live Your Life!

Yes, your medical situation is painful. Heartache, physical pain that medications might not help, fear and, well, fill in the blanks.

You're facing unspeakable misery. But you can survive it. Make staying alive your hobby. Pursue health as much as you can. Pretend to be cheerful until you actually think of something funny or pleasant to say or do.

I have no control over how long you'll live, keep some of your body parts or how well medical intervention will work for you. But I know one thing: you can grab life by the collar, no matter how wispy it seems, and decide "I WANT MORE! I WANT BETTER!" Then make it so.

Behave with dignity. Thank the people trying to help you: aides, nurses, doctors, relatives, friends, strangers and neighbors. Cry as necessary, then commit yourself to coping with the problems you have. Find solutions.

Exercise hurts? Do 5 minutes instead of 10. Eating upsets you? Be sure to swallow basic nutrients and nibble away the rest of whatever's on your plate and tray.

What are you talking about? Aches? Pains? Anger? Disfigurement? Mourning? Anything negative? Does your voice have that "I must have said this 1000s of times already?" drone to it? Improve the sound.

STOP living in the trauma.
Live Your Life!

Look for joyous moments: lovely skylines, a hug, footrub, or lack of complications in some regard. You have a new "Normal." Go for the Gusto as best you can. Seize happiness, maximize pleasures no matter how small or big. FOCUS on them. Say pleasant things so people can hear you. Look for their signs of relief at hearing you speak this way. Share it.

Now, snuggle up in your bed or chair, wherever you may be, and bask in your victory. You're ALIVE, and proud of your behavior. You can repeat it, too.

The future can unfold with richer experiences. Let it. If you wish, share your richer experiences with me at Giveretgolani@gmail.com
