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

Skip the Toys, Unlock Your Child's Joys
Dr. Roxanne Daleo
This year for the holiday gift, consider introducing your child to an activity that can keep him going as he grows. Perhaps, he's mentioned he wants to learn how to play an instrument or draw?

Remember, when a child is engaged in an activity that brings him joy, he will self-start and develop self-esteem. It is the feeling of joy that motivates from within. Just the act of doing something he enjoys, cultivates the art of happiness and contentment--without anyone bribing or coaxing.

The most valuable life skills are self-reliance, resourcefulness and perseverance.
When your child can use their talents and strengths, they feel more confident. Practicing a new skill everyday builds mastery and self-satisfaction.

Everyone is born with innate gifts. When you guide your child to find theirs, it’s the best present you can have them uncover. Here are three ways to help your child discover their talents:

Start with questions- “What is it that you enjoy doing when time seems to fly? What do you find so interesting that you are focused?” Some kids like to draw, color or doodle. Some are adapt at fine motor skills, they like to take things apart and then build something new.
Notice and encourage when your child delights in an activity and is totally absorbed. Describe the skill, “I can see you are musically clever composing tunes and songs; let’s hear more!’ Keep the conversation going. Let your child fully express what lights them up?

Explore new realms together. Go on a discovery trip to the Museum of History, Science, Art or Planetarium. Perhaps taking your child on a short trip to a music store or special event like a drumming circle, craft fair or live theater production.

You are your child’s first teacher and the purpose of spiritual education is to draw out the innate gifts of your child so that their inner light is illuminated.

Thanksgiving Storytelling Family Tradition:Your Voice is the Blueprint of Your Soul

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

“ …and that’s true love!” said my grandpa…his voice made my mind conjure up the entire scene: I see it as if it were real, mom serving dessert after a big Italian-American feast for Thanksgiving Day, always prepared with love by my parents in what I believed to be our beautiful New Jersey home. But the fact is, it was only my grandfather’s voice coming from an audio cassette player. A tape I nearly tossed in the trash moments before to clear the clutter from my garage. So glad I have this priceless treasure today.

Through “imaging” you mentally “see.” Your brain takes the audio input of a voice and provides you a “mental picture”. In this case, it pulled out a memory of the past and my brain served up a scene so vivid you relive it as if it were happening in the present. My grandfather’s philosophy about true love were his words of wisdom I’ll treasure forever.

Your brain can also take an idea or visualization to create a future-self. Your brain can be directed using mental imagery which is really a kind of storytelling. When you add the auditory aspect, such as a voice, you add a person’s energy because your voice is the blueprint of your soul. Listening to the sound of your own voice is a powerful way to imprint and direct your subconscious mind.
Add the background music and the brain automatically enhances the imagery experience as if it were real. The mind makes no distinction between real and imagined information; this is why
using guided imagery narrations for relaxation are a powerful form of mind/body medicine.

Scientists are learning how we manipulate and examine pictures of the mind and develop internal states of awareness, resilience and balance.

Many world cultures have been using the power of mental imagery in the form of storytelling.

Let’s look at the Native American culture specifically, they have been using the art of telling stories passed down from one generation to the next as their primary form of wisdom communication. Traditionally, Native Americans transmit by story their mythology, spiritual and historical understandings of themselves and the world in which they live to their children.

Storytelling creates the mental imagery in the minds and hearts of the young, that which elders did not want forgotten. In this way, the elders ensured young would not lose sight of their roots,
important knowledge that would allow them to live in harmony and cooperation with the natural world.

So this Thanksgiving why not try to capture more voices of the elders in your tribe, the seniors in your family. Allow them to pass on their words of wisdom to the children as part of the formal
celebration for which we are giving thanks and deep appreciation. In this way, you can be sure your children and their children have your family’s important knowledge through the beautiful storytelling tradition.

7 Keys to Cultivate Storytelling Family Tradition

1.Give your children and their children a beautiful way to honor their elders by asking questions about their roots, heritage, country of origin and the ways of their people.

2.Use a recording devise to capture and remember forever, the voices of the senior family members and their words of wisdom.
3.Make the bedtime ritual include recounting meaningful memories you made this Thanksgiving holiday (holy day).

4.Create a work of art. Draw, paint, sing a song or dance your newly realized wisdom tradition.

5. Each year collect keepsake photos, images and quotes in a box or a book.

6.Ask your child to express the kind of person they want to become; share the vision of a world they want to see and live in.

7.Have your child record their own voice to express their visions. Speak about appreciation, love and peace. Play this recording before sleep so the subconscious mind can bring good thoughts to every cell in your child’s body.

Reignite Your Spark: 3 Step Process

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

1) MIND: Find a harmonic engagement with your environment.
When we look at our surroundings and we see beauty and order, something happens in our brains, it calms and brain wave patterns change to a slower frequency. Research in the field of neuro-aesthetics reveal powerful effects of beauty on our brains and nervous system. It gives reason to pick wild flowers, feathers, seashells or a circle of smooth stones and place them in your home where you can view them as a reminder of beauty\ and oder. Display a floral arrangement on your dining table or in your bedroom where you can feel the effects immediately.

2) BODY: Find a practice for inner balance that works for you.
Whether you are outdoors in nature or in your home, a daily relaxation practice is essential for all of us. Remember “nap time” as a child? Believe it or not, our bodies need rest everyday. And resting before we get exhausted is the best method for reigniting our spark. The conscious breathing technique has been associated with vitality and longevity. Did you know the longer and slower you can stretch out your breath, the longer your life? Yes! Scientific research on meditative practices proves, the results of elongating the breath is associated with longevity.

3) SPIRIT: Find a creative expression that brings you joy.
Keep a box of crayons, colored pencils or watercolor paints accessible so that you can craft calm at a moment’s notice. Simply doodling, coloring or writing affirmations can change your mood and inspire your creative impulse. Each day is filled with productive energy and your spirit is filled with the same potential. Use it and start to love yourself more and more.

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.

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.
