Igniting E-Cigarette Dangers Parents C.A.N. Geoff Beyer, of Central VT New Directions Coalition, met with parents at Montpelier Main Street Middle School’s Open House on Sept. 19th about Parents C.A.N. (Children’s Affinity Network). The purpose of the initiative is to help parents network, communicate, and coordinate with parents of their child’s peers – specifically the friends their kids have the most contact with. This circle of peers will tend to have more and more influence on their teens which is why it will be strategic to build a relationship and establish clear communication with the parents and caregivers of those key children. Many parents at the Open House were interested in this promising program and interested in holding some neighborhood meetings about the project and its goals. Parents C.A.N. is focused on working with the parents of 4th and 5th graders to reduce the risks that youth face, increase protective factors, and generate community solutions. For more information and to participate call Geoff at 262-1118 or write parentscanvermont@ gmail.com Conscious Breathing Comes to Central Vermont: A Whole, New Way to Healing and Increased Well-Being Conscious Breathing is a healing practice using a Breathing technique. During inhalation, fresh oxygen and energy are brought into the body and organs, nourishing cells and tissues and the body’s natural energy centers. With each exhalation, the body releases carbon dioxide, waste and toxins and all the accumulated stress and anxiety. When practicing conscious breathing you learn what your body already knows: how to breathe fully, letting go of incomplete experiences and watching your natural breathing ability return. In many archaic languages, including Amazonian Quechua, Tibetan, Aramaic, Latin, Greek, Hawaiian and others, the word for “breath” is the same word that is used to describe life, spirit, and soul. What did the ancients know that we’ve forgotten? For thousands of years, up to this very day, people have used conscious breathwork for many reasons. Here are just a few: • To decrease inflammation • To release and reduce stress or anxiety including PTSD • Increase neural connections and strengthen the parasympathetic nervous system. • To re-energize the body • To gain clarity and vision • To connect with higher forces | spirit guides | expand consciousness Dunja Moeller Ph.D. has brought Conscious Breathing to Central Vermont. She moved to Worcester, Vermont several years ago from Westwood, Massachusettes where she established and maintains her practice of The Art of Natural Breathing which includes workshops and seeing private clients. Learning from numerous different teachers over the course of 20 years, such as Arne Rantzen a Tibetan Buddhist, Leonard Orr the founder of the re-birthing breath-work, Sondra Ray, Jane Hollister a holotropic breathing teacher and many other’s Dunja has created her own form of cathartic breath-work. Dunja also worked as a researcher at Harvard with Dr. John Mack. Mack was the leading psychiatrist at the time and was using cathartic breath-work to help participants release PTSD, helping them to integrate their experiences. As a Medial Anthropologist Dunja has been interested in alternate states of consciousness for many years, witnessing how when our identification with self through using cathartic breathing becomes more malleable, we become less rigid and can relax more in our day to day world, regaining trust in this life adventure. Expanding the confines of our mind in a natural and organic way through the breath benefits the entire “energy anatomy” of our being pointing us to a bigger picture that goes beyond just making ends meet. The are two opportunities to learn about and experience Conscious Breathing this fall: • • • • • • Parents have been lighting up with questions about e-cigarettes and what they can say to their teenagers to convince them to stop, or better yet, not even use them. What are E-cigarettes? E-cigarettes are battery powered smoking devices that contain cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, which can be quite addictive. However, nicotine is not the only dangerous ingredient, as there are other chemicals in these cartridges that have been associated with having an increased risk of developing cancer. In fact, some e-cigarettes don’t look like cigarettes at all. Instead, they look like thumb or flash drives or memory sticks for computers. These are called pod devices. Don’t be fooled by their small size—they can have as much nicotine as a whole pack of cigarettes and be used by a teenager in a period of minutes. The dangers of e-cigarettes Nicotine through vaping can raise blood pressure and heart rate. This rise can potentially result in abnormal heart rhythms, which can cause heart failure and death. High nicotine exposure can also affect memory, concentration and brain development in teens. Signs a child is hiding their vaping How might you know if your child is vaping? Suggested signs include increased thirst and urination due to the dryness in their mouth and throat and their need to hydrate. Additionally, there may be a desire for increased flavoring at mealtimes since food becomes less flavorful with the mouth dried out. Another clue might be finding unfamiliar thumb or flash drive devices, battery chargers or spare parts that contain the liquid chemicals that requires heat for vaporization. Prevention Of course, while it is important to know if your child is vaping, it’s even more important to prevent them from getting started. Thus, the name of the game is to educate your children and teens about these devices. First, parents, you need to know the facts. You can get them at knowledgeable websites such as e-cigarettes.surgeongeneral.gov. Start early (even in elementary or early middle school) when your children can understand how dangerous these devices are to their health. Make it clear you don’t approve of their vaping or using e-cigarettes no matter what. If they are already vaping, keep your cool. Instead of anger, listen and encourage an open dialogue and not a lecture. Have this important conversation not once but over time. If you begin the talk in an angry or anxious manner, your teen will shut down. Instead, acknowledge it’s difficult to stay away from vaping and see if that opens the door to a better discussion. If your child is thinking about trying it or already has, tell them you are there to help however you can, because you care so much about their health and well being. Give them strategies to say no to vaping, such as “I can’t, I’m in training.” Being a role model Of course parents, if you do smoke or vape, understand your kids, who see you as a role model, may want to do it as well. Consider quitting smoking or vaping for not only their health but yours, too. Hopefully tips like these will smoke out what you need to know when it comes to recognizing and discouraging the use of e-cigarette products in your teens and yourself.
