Biography
Dr. Roxanne Daleo is a leading authority in childhood stress and pain management. She is best known for her audio guided imagery relaxation journe

ys as the creator and founder of MindWorks for Children, a company dedicated to health promotion programs. Her work at Boston Children’s Hospital with bone marrow transplant patients led her to be taken as a member of the Mind/Body Clinic, Division of Behavioral Medicine, founded by Harvard Cardiologist, Dr. Herbert Benson, who was studying the physiological effects of ancient oriental meditation practices. As research assistant to Joan Borysenko, PhD, co-founder of the Mind/Body Clinic, Dr. Roxie’s own work developed innovative applications for children, based on stress and pain research from other members of the Mind/Body group, including Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, founder of the Mindfulness-Based Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Dr. Roxie became instructor and clinical supervisor in the Department of Professional Studies-Child Life at Wheelock College, Boston. Then later, she worked with Harvard Health and Fitness conducting classes for faculty and staff. Currently Dr. Roxie is dedicated to creating an entirely new paradigm of wellness, wholeness and wisdom and the practical tools to achieve it. Description
Dr. Roxie’s training and experience is unique because it was at a historic time when groundbreaking medical research was crossing new disciplines, known as psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). For over 20 years, Dr. Roxanne Daleo, affectionately called “Dr. Roxie” has been developing a system
for successfully teaching young children mind, body, healing skills. As a reknowned health educator, specializing in relaxation and stress reduction, whose work empowers children, parents and caregivers with ways to cope and conquer everyday academic and life stressors, often through expressive arts and play therapies. A pioneer in her field of health psychology, Dr. Roxie advocates non-drug alternative treatments which include stress management, biofeedback training and cognitive/behavioral therapy designed to help children calm the body, reduce fears, improve concentration, develop greater confidence and solve problems creatively. The gifted health educator, consultant and psychotherapist developed her audios as an outgrowth of her work with children at Harvard University Health Services, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Boston Children’s Hospital. Her ability to express her inner child allows her to reach the hearts of all children. Generous, spontaneous, joyful and warm by nature, she has all the great traits that kids have, but comfortably ensconced in a straightforward, grown up personality. Mindworks audios have been widely embraced by health care providers, classroom teachers and parents, because they gently, playfully teach kids how to calm, relax and focus themselves, and build on their natural gift for imaginal play. Themes of her MindWorks series include: sleep, self-esteem, relaxation, happiness, kindness, courage, acceptance and anger management. Learn more at

5 Ways to Help Her Find Beauty Within

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

1. Light a candle. Gently, turn your attention away from the day, away from the stressors. Bring
your attention inward to your breathing. In the breath is the clearing space where something
new can happen. It is open, expansive, healing. The candle flame represents the spark of the
Divine within you. Place your hand on your heart, feel a love for your self in a new way, without
judgement or opinion. Imagine the light burning brightly, steadily luminous. This is your moment
of awareness, rest in the stillness of pure love.

2. Go outdoors. Create a sacred space for yourself. It could be in the woods.Stand with the
trees: strong, tall, confident, resilient. Contemplate who you are in the Universe. Reconnect
with your true essence of Source. We are all related. We are all connected. Take a moment
to feel the interconnectedness of all life. Let this knowing fill you with reassurance.

3. Sit with a wild flower and see what it has to tell you. Just be quiet and listen, deeply. What
would it say about beauty? Take a moment to write or draw this lovely flower. Pay attention
to the details, the colors, the fine lines, the leaves, the overlooked aspects. Look again, see
all you possibly can about this little wild flower growing where it was planted in the meadow.
Let her remind you that you also have the potential to grow right where you are. Let this
knowing bring you self-appreciation.

4. Look up to the sky. Watch as the clouds slowly drift away. Imagine you could hitch a worry
thought to a cloud and see it drift away. Just let it go by. No need to hold on. Let it go.
You are safe, you are whole. You are free.

5. Go home. It could be to your bedroom or a private home space where you like to be. Take
out a pen and piece of paper or your journal if you have one. Write down your talents or gifts
you are born with. It could be you have beautiful handwriting or are talented at drawing or
painting. Maybe you have athletic ability or you’re a great dancer. Think of whatever it is you
love because what you love will inform you of your talents. Think of what you do that
has time fly, that’s a clue to discover your gifts. Take a moment. write down as many as you
can this will bring you back to love. Remember you have a beauty within and it is knowing you are love.

“It is Spring again the earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” -Rilke-

Spring is the time of new beginnings and the energy is moving around us and within us. It’s a perfect opportunity to be creative and experience soul growth.

You can do this by practicing any new craft, art, writing, dancing, singing, drawing sculpting or painting. Use your energy to generate something new because when you create something from nothing, you discover what’s inside you. And when that happens you activate soul growth. This is the core of deep knowing and this is how you amplify learning and appreciate your spirit.

Open To The New In You

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s a ritual to renew your body, mind and spirit. It’s simple and fun. Your child will understand the deeper meaning of this ritual because it is tangible and children love to use their imaginations! This New Year Ritual is best done during the first days and month of each new year.

Step 1. Go around your home open all the windows. (Just briefly if you live in a cold climate.)

Step 2. Open the front door.

Step 3. Stand with your child at the threshold and say: “As I open all the windows and doors to my home, I open the windows and doors to my soul—in comes the new fresh air, in comes the new sunlight and in comes the new energy of love!”

Step 4. Breathe! Take three deep energizing breaths.

Step 5. As you close the front door and windows throughout your home, notice the feeling of freshness in the air. Notice how you are feeling. Did this make you smile? Good!

Golden Ray of Christ Light
Meditation

This month of December is an auspicious time on multiple levels. Firstly, it is the birth of the newborn baby Jesus and the remembrance of his origin story.

Also, it is time to feel the golden ray of Christ from the cosmos meeting with your heart and third eye with joyful illuminations and the highest perspective.

When we allow the Golden Ray of Christ Light frequencies to flood into our bodies and fields, we can immerse ourselves in love, joy and peace. Attend to you heart and third eye matching up these two wheels with this energy and consciously bringing balance between heart and third eye. You’ll gain new understanding how we are perceiving the world around us. Open to this incredible down pouring of the Christ light that is coming in from the Universe.

Gentle Attunement

Breathe in calmly and deeply. Feel the sensation of resting, allowing the golden ray of Christ light to move into you, hold for a moment and release the breath.

Take another deep breath, bring the golden ray of Christ light into you heart.

See the radiance, feel the love for yourself and rest a moment. And again, take a third breath, let the golden ray of Christ light expand around your bodies- physical, auric, etheric. Take in the love. As you do see astral bands sent out by your heart to the hearts of your loved ones… harmonize the energy like tuning a musical instrument. Know every thought you keep, every word you speak is
fine tuned at the highest frequency you can hold. Now see the astral band between you and another. See the face of God in each other. Allow the golden ray of Christ light to brighten your inner sight so you can truly see all that is; drop old perceptions, beliefs, judgements. Allow the golden ray of Christ light to wash over you, cleansing and clearing, harmonizing to love, joy and peace. Allow this powerful golden ray of Christ light to nourish and sustain you. You are love and so is he. Balance and healing is available with Christ light in this moment. With Christ, the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Light in the Darkness the energy moves. Even when you don’t see it, it’s moving. Even when you don’t feel it, it’s moving. Christ light is working, never stops working. The golden ray of Christ is flooding in from the cosmos, the love connecting with you is so immense, full of potential, growth, expectation and joy. Open your heart fully to receive these energies. And start to send your heart light back to all in your world. You are one heart. Feel how you are one with all of creation. Rest in these energies for a few moments. You are safe. Breathe in deeply and exhale joyful expectation. Expect love, you will receive it. Expect radiance, you will feel it. Breathe, relax, become the golden ray of Love. . When you feel radiant, open your eyes and smile.

“Does Anyone Want To Say Grace?”
By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

As we sat down to dinner, I asked, “Would anyone like to say grace?” Surprisingly, Joe, eight years old, excitedly volunteered, “I will!!” to which I said, “OK, go ahead, then.” He stood up at the table and raised his voice, “Grace! Thank you for this meal!
Thank you for my family and our new neighbors who just moved in next door. We are so happy to meet and have this great feast together and eat all this good food and dessert!”
What a terrific declaration! I never would have imagined this expression but as Joe genuinely committed to the task at hand, no one corrected him. We smiled and accepted his offering before the meal. Do you have a sacred ritual of giving thanks before meals?
When I was a child, every night before dinner, my Dad said a prayer. His personal reverence for the sacred and divine came through him as he blessed the meal and gave a word of thanks for the food and to mom for her wonderful cooking and for us as his family.

Here are five reasons you can consider why I think it is important:
1. You model for your family your values. Whether it is for the farmer or for God, whether a serious prayer or a joyful song, you are pausing, reflecting and acknowledging your bountiful blessings.
2. You are allowing your child to know their own importance and significance as a member of the family. You are creating meaning to your life and the lives of your family.
3. You are cultivating the spiritual nature of the child. Your child intuitively has awareness of the sacred, the gesture of grace brings to life your commitment to being the presence of Love and having that love for the sacred come through with your words and actions. Your child feels your emotions and intentions.
4. You set the stage for your child to keep the channels open and commune with God in their own way, perhaps, talking to the tress while in the backyard, or playing with tidal pool animals at the ocean. It can happen anywhere but especially poignant in the natural world around them.
5. You can start by lighting a candle at the dinner table or ringing a bell before you say a word. This symbolic gesture will cue everyone, it is time to pause for praise and thanksgiving. Everyday!

5 KEYS TO FOSTER SELF-WORTH
By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

1.Catch your child in the act of being caring and sharing and you will get more of that behavior. Slow down the action by deliberately bringing attention of the one who gave, to the expression of joy on the face of the other. This is an emotionally intelligent way of building your child’s self-worth. Self-concept grows out of the positive and negative experiences in your child’s life; so be on the look out for the positive ones and amplify the influence these experiences have by making sure your child “sees and feels” good about himself in the process.

2 The second key to building self-worth is found when we model how to take our attention off our own problems and worries and focus, instead, on what we can do for someone else. The simple shift in thinking about “the other” - our brother, our sister, allows the child to lose track of circumstance and create an act of kindness and caring for its own sake. An act of caring done without any expectation of getting something in return actually makes your child feel worth..

3.Prompt your child by having a short conversation about ideas that would help the other member of the family or would offer an expression of joy and love for them. When you take the time to do this, you help your child truly know their own identity and significance.

4.Tell your child about the day or night they were born. Children love to hear about the excitement of their birth. Use storybooks like: “Knots On A Counting Rope” by Bill Martin, Jr. and “On the Night You Were Born” by Nancy Tillman.
5. Tell you child how you named him and why. This kind of personal information gives your child awareness of his identity and significance. Read this bedtime story: “The Incredible You” written by Wayne Dyer.

The power of earth energies is right outside your front door!

Connect and ReBoot

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

My life’s work is to help as many families as possible to get in touch with natural healing

from within. I want you to know and trust that your body has the ability to know when it is injured or damaged. This is good news. It means you are not to be anxious or afraid should you get sick or hurt because your body can regenerate cells and tissues to reestablish equilibrium.

It’s a matter of how we “attend.” Attention is how our world comes into being. So paying attention to the warning signs from our body, mind and spirit is key to survival and inner balance. And when we set up the proper conditions, such as deep rest, nourishing foods, fresh air and sunshine, our body regains strength to adapt, grow and heal.

I’d like to share with you optimal ways of tuning into your body/mind/spirit and know the ways of wisdom on all three levels. My reputation helping people do this started with my work supporting terminally ill children and now I help folks like you who are having challenges with anxieties of all kinds.

For over twenty years of deep study and experience, I’ve been developing ways to help young people feel better, more confident, focused and happy. This process of helping others led me to help myself increase my knowledge about a wide variety of healing methods from cultures around the world.

Who you are matters. How you feel about yourself matters. And my life work has shown
that those of you who really put an effort into understanding yourself more
deeply, can bring about profound improvements in your health and mental health.

As we evolve our consciousness and shift into a new world, the knowledge of self,
nature of mind and power of inner energies are the keys to humans flourishing.
Now, let’s go outside and plant those seeds of change in our own backyard or
on the window sill!
