SCS has a strong sense of commitment to serving a number of special needs. You may have noticed, for example, that each of our CDs (see the SCS Products page), is designed for a particular audience with a specific need. This month (June 2008), we are introducing a new and special product and a special service.

Everlasting Peace

SCS has developed and released a new CD, “Everlasting Peace,”  created for use by individuals as they are nearing death. This project was done with a unique Hospice program in mind: Hospice at Home. Hospice is a program that works to manage pain (emotional and mental as well as physical) during this intense time of transition. Designed to promote a deep sense of well-being, regardless of current life circumstances, “Everlasting Peace” is appropriate for use by all those involved—family, friends, care givers, hospice staff, and others who desire reduction of stress and greater peace of mind.

The background music, Pachelbel’s Cannon in D, Three Meditative Variations with Ocean, by Liv & Let Live, is used by permission. To purchase their music, visit their website. “Everlasting Peace” will be available to Hospice at Home at low cost. In addition, SCS Matters LLC will donate $10 of each retail purchase to Hospice at Home. The single CD is $25, plus sales tax and shipping. To order, see the SCS Products page.

In addition to our appreciation for the use of the music, we also thank Julie Griffin of Hospice at Home for the design of the CD and jacket, Helen Assaf for the cover image, Brenda Layne and Paul Layendecker of Mid-West Family Broadcasting for the recording, and DiscMakers for production.

For Veterans with PTSD

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, Joel has a strong sense of identification with those who have served in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. For those who have served and have developed what is usually called Post-traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of that service, Joel will be glad to help you diminish or eliminate the feelings of stress, anxiety, and sometimes anger associated with PTSD. Joel will be glad to meet with you--individually or in groups--without charge. For those concerned about the stigma of treatment for PTSD, the work can be done anonymously with no official record keeping.

The NLP techniques Joel will employ can be done as “secret therapy,” so you will not need to say anything about the situations or events that have contributed to your feelings of stress and anxiety. Your memories can be separated from any negative feelings associated with them without your having to say what those memories might have been.

To make arrangements to see Joel, send him a quick email message. If a meeting in Kalamazoo, Michigan, would be inconvenient for you, some of the proven NLP techniques can be done effectively by email.
