Read more »We love all of our special holiday gift packs, but there is a good reason so many people are ordering our Holiday Self-Healing Gift Pack, with its soothing audio programs, Peaceful Mind Candle and Little Heartbeat Pillow. We are also experiencing increased interest in our Healthful Sleep and all the audio programs dedicated to relieving stress and soothing the psyche during this hectic time.
While there are no hard statistics on the number of people who experience holiday burn-out, or the extent of the symptoms they experience, it is a fact that extreme stress from the additional burden of holiday chores alone is enough to send most people into a state of burn-out. Holiday burn-out is characterized by feelings of desperation, frustration, mental and physical exhaustion, even anxiety and depression, brought on by an inability to keep up with a frantic pace. Additional responsibilities that complicate already overloaded schedules and impossibly high expectations often create an overwhelming sense of disappointment, rather than the joyous holiday spirit the season promises.Each year, between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, virtually every community in the nation experiences record numbers of incidents involving people who are pushed beyond their limits. For example, incidents of domestic disturbances, which include everything from family squabbles to domestic violence, are at least three times higher during the holidays, DUI offenses increase significantly, as well as reports of robbery, burglary and shoplifting, and the number of emergency admissions to mental health facilities (often due to drug or alcohol abuse) is sharply increased.

Read more »We love that you love our new Holiday Gift Guide, compete with bargains, gift ideas and goodies, but if you haven’t placed your order yet, be sure to do it soon, because the special packs and bargains are only here for the 2013 holiday season.
We are excited about our holiday offerings and the 2013 Health Journeys Holiday Gift Guide, and we know you are finding it helpful in choosing unique gifts for everyone on your list, including you. We had such fun here as we put together the special holiday packs and chose descriptive, festive titles for them, like our Kids Relaxation Station, which is suggestive of a magical holiday train ride. We are equally delighted to offer our Introduction to Meditation, because one of the best presents you can give is the gift of presence. Check out all our holiday packs and special offers in our gift guide (specials are also available in our online store at www.healthjourneys.com). -
