Question
hi,

I am typical, stressed out 38 years old mom of a two years old,  I am working at suicide prevention with teens and also crisis intervention with them when they are suicidal,  I like in small comunity with hardly any "alternative" resources, but I do much of my on my own.  I have gotten off track big time, overweight(50pnds),  not exercising or once a week (for two months),  I have had mild insomnia, drinking much coffee,  a few sinus and on broncintis ( 4 courses of antibiotics since june). I have had many hardships in the last year, a death in the familly called for jury duty, got a married,  any how by now you must have an idea...being a counsellor I realise this is all symptoms and putting me at risk of burnout, but I have been trying many things not to get to that point,  

my question is:  If I want to treat this, what would be the priority, herbal antidepressants, a detox (gentle herbal cleansing), sleeping pill???
It's like I know what I would need to do but do not know were to start... any suggestions?

Ps.  I am not suicidal, I don't feel depressed,  just very tired and overwhelmed  

Answer
Hello Sam,

In first line, I recommend you to learn Reiki, and start practicing this. It will change you!
You got burned out, because you are loosing life quality.
With Reiki, you will get again a lot of joy of life, you will know what you need and what you want, and are able to get controle of you Physica, emotional, mental and spiritual problems. The whole healing proces could take up to a half year, but the first changes should be visible within a few days.
For your question, I'm not a herbalist, but try info on melatonine, I used it but in double recomend quantity as normal portion didn't make a different, but the double or about 500mg befor sleeping will promote better sleep quality.
Melatonine is a enzime, produced in the centre of your brain, and the suplement is not melatonine, but it promote melatonine production. If you search for more info, you will surpiced.
But still, try Reiki, and keep in touch!

Experience

Eric is a Reiki Master Teacher and Sound Therapist. Reiki and Sound is his love and interest. He always played music like any professional musician until he was attuned to Reiki. That attunement changed his perception and understanding of music, or rather of sound. He began to question what is Music, and what is Sound. In this questioning, a whole new universe opened up to him.

If you visit my home pages, you will find out that I'm disabled, but this didn't stop me from traveling for 27 years around the globe as a Busker or street musician.
Through this activity I came in contact with plenty people, and I learned a lot from them.
