It gives us the peace that we need - update - hurts the top of your head

We got these for our kids to use in our van, so that they could watch their shows, and we could play something else up front.
We were a bit concerned that it would fall off their head and we'd have to constantly stop the car an adjust the headset for them, but didn't have any issue.  They are able to finish the whole show usually without any issue.  Also like that it comes with another attachment to be able to filter down loud sounds, so that for those shows that have really loud sounds will get automatically tones down and it wouldn't hurt our kids' ears.

Update: I couldn't find my earbud recently, so I used the kids headphones, and I have to say I was quite disappointed when I actually tried them on.  The inside of the head holding strap piece actually had sharp edges, protruding, and poking in to my head and it actually hurt me.  We bought three and none of the kids ever complained about any of them, but when I tried them on each time it hurt.  Maybe they just don't know it's not supposed to put sharp pressure on their head, but I'd imagine that it would hurt them, too. (my oldest son has very thick hair, so it might be ok for him)  I was able to tolerate for the sake of listening to whatever I wanted to at the time by trying to keep it a little afloat above my head, but I would definitely not keep it on for long.  I suppose you can use sand paper or metal file and smooth it out a bit.  My kids still use them, but I'm going to have to down grade from my original 5 star down to 3 star for that reason. Headset shouldn't hurt the top of your head.  If they come out with a updated version with a little better design for the head strap, I certainly would try the new one.

I guess the first thing you should not do is treat this like a snore-guard you might end up ruining it, just carefully read the directions...one thing I can say since using these contraptions be it the  brain-pad or the snore-guard...I have become depended on these little plastic objects, I worry that if I don't wear it , my sleep apnea can and will get the better of me , I have noticed when not using these devices I notice myself snoring I can hear it ,as well as feel the vibrations in my throat and I abruptly wake up, I prefer this than the alterative surgery ..
  But enough about me, there's a big difference in comfort level. with the snore-guard you  have you're lower jar pushed forward leaving your jaw acing, with the brain pad not so much , and you have a  wider breathing hole ,two for the matter ,I will give it a go , and write a further review in the future..

It's  been a month since I wrote about the brain pad, and I wanted to come and write about my experience using the product ,and what I have to say first is that my lower jaw does not hurt much as it did with the snore guard ,the big difference with the snore guard and the brain pad is the air opening snore guard has a little opening the brain pad two large holes one on each side , it's more comfortable then the snore guard that's for sure, and on occasion when I don't wear because i'm feeling lazy I wake up my ole lady ,like I said not the most comfortable feeling ,but that  rarely happens  and she is very impressed with the brain pad, if I do snore it's very tiny like a forest critter or heavy breathing ,she's  happy I'm happy because I don't get the push or the " your snoring" in the middle of the night.. 98% effected for me....very happy with it, as she is...sheesh...now to get back to sleep...

This spoke directly to difficulties I had noticed with my new and very intelligent (headstrong) Pyr/Anatolian puppy.  We are more peaceful now.

This book has good news.

First, it upsets my Inner Fundamentalist--"fundamentalism" meaning "my ideas are right and yours are wrong." Fundamentalism is not just for Christians; it's for anti-Christians, Muslims, anti-Muslims, gays, anti-gays, milk drinkers, anti-milk drinkers, etc. This book gave me reason to consider birthing an Inner Accepter.

Second, it asks that you consider respecting, even trusting yourself. My church background emphasized "not leaning on your own understanding" (Prov. 3:5) and remembering that "the heart is deceitful above all things" (Jer. 17:9). Basically, you don't have wisdom inside you, and if some of it somehow attempts to be heard, squash it dead--it can't be trusted.

One of Inner Anarchy's main points is that you can trust yourself. You can listen to what's inside you and consider it valid.
Again, the ghost of my fundamentalist background is screaming that this idea is utter nonsense. That's what hippies and all those no-absolute-truth delusional people think.

But what if denying your own wisdom (it's been shushed for a while; it might take some time to get its gumption to speak up again) is pummeling the piece of the Trinity you've been given? What if the church's emphasis on External Authority (church leaders, the Bible, traditional doctrine) is not a trinity to worship? What if Internal Authority had some say?

And just because I'm in the mood, remind me again of the people Jesus gave the most tongue-lashings to? Was it the sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes? Nope, it was the religious law givers/imposers. Check out Matt. 23 and Luke 11: Woe to the scribes and Pharisees (External Authorities) who tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders.

This book encourages you to take off those heavy burdens and find truth--its yoke is easy and its burden light.

This one made me cry at one point. It speaks of compromise. When do we know it's God speaking out the enemy. We can talk ourselves into anything....but we know when God is speaking to its and we don't have peace. This is the struggle that Parker goes through and most of her friends are telling her one thing, her heart tells her something else.

In today's confusing scary world, we wonder... What us going on? What is God thinking? This book helps answer those questions and helps me realize that things will get worst before they get better. It's God timing and Gods plan that is in the works .  It brings me peace to know its not who becomes President or what happens with Isis that will bring peace and security, but where our relationship is with Christ! I can only pray for those who do not know Him personally and continue to pray.... Your kingdom come, Your will be done.

Our family is going through something very similar.  There's reassurance in the experience unflichingly shared here: the worries about money, the issues of dignity, the fear, the inseparable parents forced to redefine relationships as one mentally slips away.  I read the book in an evening and then slept well, knowing that what we are experiencing is weirdly normal.

Thank you for the relief in case needed while we go camping or back to the stone ages...giggle, just kidding. Thank you so much for it will make things so much easier to understand. Thank you so much!

Currently going through depression and receiving cognitive behaviour therapy which with my last session my therapist hit some raw nerves. Things I have in my head but don't want to open the box to discuss. It's hard as from the out side people think ur ok but ur not. It's hard and a worry if I will ever break from this. Reading ur book has made me realise there us light at the end of the tunnel. But I know for sure I have a journey to go through with this.

You have to believe but if you do, this really works.  I have almost no back pain anymore and when I do I can tie it to stress and I can just tell my brain to cut it out... stop transferring it to my body.  It works. Then my brain decided to try sneaking up on my shoulder.  I feel for it for a while.  Once I tied it to stress I was able to slowly get the pain to stop and am better now when it tries to show up.  Seems like hocus pocus. I haven't convinced anyone else to try it and I am so sorry to see them in pain or going for surgery.

Helped me relax a bit.  Still higher than we would like, but at least we know we aren't in the danger zone.

At first, I ignored my therapist's suggestion to read this--I hate reading self help books. Many years later, a different therapist suggested reading it. I still ignored the recommendation.
Recently I ran into hard times with the folks and I was devastated. Friends told me the problem wasn't me--it was the way my family handles things. A friend suggested I read this book. I finally got it, and ...Wow!! It has opened my eyes! This book really hits home! It is helping me get peace of mind now in adulthood.

In our search for God, He Who is in our midst, we are so distracted by noise even if it be white noise. Honking horns, telephones ringing, people demanding our attention for this or that...all in a day. We search for some quiet time - a chance to be alone and simply relax. A rare commodity in our times but find it for it is critical to balance in the human condition.

Amazingly, we have all manner of devices designed to save time yet, we seem to have less and less time. I take time to meditate, center down and focus. I am fortunate to have a home chapel which was an extra bedroom in my apartment. Nothing in there is distracting. Discovering this Chant  Russian Spirit CD was a rare find. I am quite selective about the things I purchase and this was no exception. Once I heard it on a website I was reading, I had to find out where to get it. I did and have it now playing in the background as I write this review. I cannot recommend it too strongly. It is like nothing I have heard before including traditional Gregorian Chant. It is not like that at all.

If you are searching for a great CD for centering down and relaxing or one for meditation, here it is.

If the people of the world would utilize meditation as part of their prayer, downtime, relaxation, whatever moment...think the world would get along better!  I need this for my Type A head.

After only a few pages I found this way too
important a subject to stop now.  Be prepared
to think and feel the author's meaning, as it
brings many new angles to daily actions.  Now
I feel the importance of having a mind of your own, and using it to further try to stamp out Satan's intentions.
Wake up Americans!!!!!!

God is with us-we must take heed to his
position in our individual lives.  There is
no place for selfishness in this Country or
this world.
