How beautiful would it be to see this with your own kids! This is the world’s first ever magnetic resonance image showing a mother and child’s bond, thanks to N...H Neuro Training. The image is of neuroscientist Rebecca Saxe kissing her two month old son. Her kiss has caused a chemical reaction in her son's brain which generates a burst of oxytocin - a hormone that generates feelings of attachment and affection - amazing or what? Touch illuminates the brain! Hold them, kiss them, respond to their needs, massage them, love them, just as your instincts suggest!

Our emotions are a gift from creator. Western ideologies has taught us that we need to control and suppress our emotions. Some examples are, stop crying, you need to just calm down, it’s not okay to be angry, just get over it, stop laughing. This way of thinking has had a detrimental effect on the mental health and well being of Indigenous people, men especially. We have these emotions for a reason and it is so important to allow yourself to feel, to acknowledge the emotion/s... you are going through at the time and allow them to pass through you so that you are not suppressing them. We have learned to automatically suppress our feeling and emotions and when we do this they bottle up until the bottle can not hold anymore and then they all come pouring out; usually and most often on the ones we love. Men, it’s okay to feel and express your emotions, and it’s most definitely okay to cry. After-all, we are human beings not machines or robots. See more

Are we listening men?

I Just wanted to take some time to express myself, as it has been 10 years today since I begin a walk of healing from Kamloops BC to Bloodvein MB. May 30 2010 t...o January 17th 2011. Sure is a blessing to be alive and living these days. Feeling so grateful for feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Healing sure is a gift we give to ourselves and to all those around us. Here are some thoughts about it all captured in this Video today. Meegwich. See more
