In seven simple steps, Uncovering Happiness uses cutting-edge mindfulness and self-compassion techniques along with innovations in neuroscience to release natural antidepressants in the brain. Dr. Goldstein shows you how to take back control of your mind, your mood, and your life. Most of us believe when we're depressed that our situation is hopeless. That's a mistake, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reassures us in Uncovering Happiness. The secret to overcoming depression and uncovering happiness is in harnessing our brain's own natural antidepressant power and ultimately creating a more resilient antidepressant brain. Uncovering Happiness is grounded in two key foundations: mindfulness and self-compassion, and backed by recent scientific discoveries. New research shows that mindfulness reduces the risk of relapse in people who have experienced depression and can be a significant alternative, or supplement, to medication. Goldstein explores our natural antidepressants—along with mindfulness and self-compassion, purpose, play, and confidence—and offers specific techniques for putting them into action. Together these elements can transform something that typically forces us to spiral downward and turn it into an upward spiral of self-worth and resiliency.Available Formats: Download

Depression can feel like a downward spiral, pulling you into a vortex of sadness, fatigue, and apathy. Based in the latest research in neuroscience, this audiobook offers dozens of little things you can do every day to rewire your brain and create an upward spiral towards a happier, healthier life. Depression doesn't happen all at once. It starts gradually and builds momentum over time. If you go through a difficult experience, you may stop taking care of yourself. You may stop exercising and eating healthy, which will end up making you feel even worse as time goes on. You are caught in a downward spiral, but you may feel too tired, too overwhelmed, and too scared to try and pull yourself back up. The good news is that just one small step can be a step in the right direction. In The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb demystifies the neurological processes in the brain that cause depression and offers effective ways to get better—one little step at a time. You'll discover that there isn't "one big solution" that will solve your depression. Instead, there are dozens of small, practical things you can do to alleviate your symptoms and start healing. Some are as simple as relaxing certain muscles to reduce feelings of anxiety, while others involve making small efforts toward more positive social interactions. Small steps in the right direction can have profound effects—giving you the power to literally reshape your brain. Like most people, you probably didn't wake up one day and find yourself completely depressed. Instead, it probably happened over time as a series of reactions to difficult situations and negative thinking. But if you are ready to reverse the trajectory of your depression and find lasting happiness, this audiobook will show you how.Available Formats: Download

When you are criticized or rejected, do you have a tendency to lash out or withdraw entirely? Both types of knee-jerk reactions can have lasting and unintended consequences, affecting your friendships, careers, families, and romantic relationships.

You may see overreacting as an unchangeable part of your personality, but in reality, this tendency, like any other, can be unlearned. Stop Overreacting helps you identify your emotional triggers, discover a new way of processing impulsive thoughts and feelings, and understand how your emotions can undermine your ability to think rationally in moments of crisis and stress. You'll learn how to neutralize overwhelming emotions and choose healthy responses instead of flying off the handle. Ready to make a change for the better? It's time to stop overreacting and start feeling.Available Formats: Download

Nearly every depressed person is assured by doctors, well-meaning friends and family, the media, and ubiquitous advertisements that the underlying problem is a chemical imbalance. Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread. Why are we losing this fight? In this humane and illuminating challenge to defect models of depression, psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg argues that depression is a particularly severe outgrowth of our natural capacity for emotion. In other words, it is a low mood gone haywire. Drawing on recent developments in the science of mood—and his own harrowing depressive experience as a young adult—Rottenberg explains depression in evolutionary terms, showing how its dark pull arises from adaptations that evolved to help our ancestors ensure their survival. Moods, high and low, evolved to compel us to more efficiently pursue rewards. While this worked for our ancestors, our modern environment—in which daily survival is no longer a sole focus—makes it all too easy for low mood to slide into severe, long-lasting depression. Weaving together experimental and epidemiological research, clinical observations, and the voices of individuals who have struggled with depression, The Depths offers a bold new account of why depression endures—and makes a strong case for destigmatizing this increasingly common condition. In so doing, Rottenberg offers hope in the form of his own and other patients' recovery, and points the way towards new paths for treatment.Available Formats: Download

Guidance for dealing with this common and frustrating form of behavior. Many people often say "yes" to something when they'd rather say "no." They offer cooperation through words but follow up with how they really feel—in actions that contradict their words. That's passive-aggression. At its heart, passive-aggression is about being untrue to oneself, which makes it impossible to have a clean relationship with others. Passive-aggression as a communication method doesn't make someone "bad." It is simply a strategy learned in childhood as a coping mechanism, a hard-to-break habit. Changing passive-aggressive behavior requires knowledge, tools, and practice, as outlined here. This audiobook offers effective methods for transforming passive-aggression into healthy assertiveness to communicate in constructive ways through eight keys: Recognize Your Hidden Anger; Reconnect Your Emotions to Your Thoughts; Listen to Your Body; Set Healthy Boundaries; Communicate Assertively; Interact Using Mindfulness; Disable the Enabler; and Problem-Solve for Better Outcomes. Hands-on exercises are featured, enabling listeners to better understand themselves.Available Formats: Download

Although we have bandages for cuts, chicken soup for colds, and ice packs for bruises, most of us have no idea how to treat day-to-day emotional injuries such as failure, rejection, and loss.

In this fascinating and highly practical book, Winch provides the emotional first aid treatments we have been lacking. Explaining the long-term fallout that can result from seemingly minor emotional and psychological injuries, Dr. Winch offers concrete, easy-to-use exercises backed up by hard cutting-edge science to aid in recovery.

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience such violent and frightening mood swings that they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, despairing and depressed the next. There are an estimated 18 million sufferers of BPD living in America today — each displaying remarkably similar symptoms: - A shaky sense of identity - Sudden outbursts of anger - Oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection - Brief, turbulent love affairs - Intense feelings of emptiness - Eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies - An irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone For years BPD was difficult to describe, diagnose, and treat. But with this classic guide, Dr. Jerold J. Kreisman and health writer Hal Straus offer much-needed professional advice, helping victims and their families understand and cope with this troubling, shockingly widespread affliction. This completely revised and updated edition includes information on the most up-to-date research that has opened doors to the neurobiological, genetic, and developmental roots of the disorder, as well as the connections between BPD and substance abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and eating disorders, making it a vital reference for understanding and living with BPD.

As you built your site, you carefully crafted dynamic landing pages using compelling copy and stunning images. Once your website was up and running, you focused on your marketing efforts and on growing your social media presence. Then, like most online business owners, you turned to advertising in order to boost traffic and increase revenue.
Despite your best efforts, you're not getting the results you had hoped for and you have no idea why. As far as you know, you did everything right. What could you possibly be missing?
When someone visits your website for the first time, they decide in just 3 to 8 seconds whether to stay or bounce (leave). The decision is based, in part, on concrete, measurable elements such as load time, website design, and a clear value proposition (or lack thereof). The potential customer may also base their decision on perceived attributes, such as whether or not the website is trustworthy.
"Good words are worth much, and cost little."
-George Herbert
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." -C.S. LewisTake the time to proofread ALL text on your website, blog, and social media pages thoroughly. Once you've proofread it, have at least two other people proofread it. If you do not have access people who can help, consider an online service like Grammarly.com which can help out on that front.
Grammatical and spelling errors on your website tell visitors that you're not taking their time seriously. If you didn't take the time to proofread your content, why should they take the time to read it?
If you don't have a native English speaker with strong editing skills on your team, outsource it. With a variety of freelance websites out there, it's now easier and more affordable than ever to outsource proofreading and editing tasks.
When your content looks professionally written and edited, your site will seem exponentially more credible. It also helps if you know what you're writing about. Content on your website, blog, and social media pages should not only be well written, it should be accurate and authoritative.
Back up statements and claims with facts and references when appropriate and when in doubt about your own writing abilities, outsource content creation to actual experts. Invite your business partners and networking contacts to contribute content to your site. Know someone who works for an SEO and marketing firm? Perfect! Invite them to write a blog post about the latest algorithm update.
Clear, correct, and easy-to-find company information also goes a long way to ease a potential customer's concerns. Company info may be added to your "About" page, your "Contact" page, or elsewhere on your site. It should include a brief history of your company, your physical address (with an interactive map if possible), as well as contact information and an online contact form. When customers want to confirm the authenticity of your site, this is often the first thing they'll check.
Encourage press coverage with a media kit either on your site itself or mentioned on your site and available by request. Include your contact info, logo, screenshots, photos of yourself (and your teammates if applicable), a brief bio about yourself (and teammates if applicable), a brief company history, and any press releases you may have. Once you have a press kit, reach out to relevant publications to request coverage.

With the holiday season already underway and only weeks until Christmas, Selena Gomez luckily knows how she's going to spend the remaining days of 2012. And, for those interested, it means lots and lots of family dinners.
"Honestly we just love being able to just be together as a family," the singer/actress shared at the eighth Annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York City on Monday night. "Everybody travels, my grandfather travels, I travel. I'm always out. So just being together, telling stories, cooking, eating a lot, that's usually what we do around the holidays."
Gomez hit up the event, held at NYC's famed Cipriani, as she and her maybe ex, Justin Bieber, continue to keep fans guessing about their relationship status. And until she spends the holidays with her family, she's still got a few commitments to keep. That included attending the star-studded, splashy gala, which honoured some of the folks closest to the charity and helped raise $2.5 million (according to Gomez's Twitter). Gomez is a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and was originally inspired to work with them by her fans, she shared.
"Well I've been working with UNICEF for the past five years now. They're an organization that's close to my heart. I think, for me, I started with Disney Channel and my show ['The Wizards of Waverly Place'] had a lot of younger fans. When I see the fans and we have live audience tapings and I see some of them maybe being sick, they're the reason why I'm here," she said. "If I'm able to do anything to give back to the families or the kids that help me every single day, kids hold a special place in my heart for that reason."
Justin Bieber calls Selena Gomez "genuine"!
In addition to Gomez, the night was also attended by a bevy of stars including Uma Thurman, "Girls" star Allison Williams, music legend Tony Bennett and her pal, Katy Perry. "The reason I'm here is I'm really excited to support UNICEF and bring even more light on the charity because if I can take the attention I have re-prioritize it for other people then I feel like I'm doing a better work," Perry shared.

On Mar-29-10 at 16:37:14 PDT, seller added the following information:
BUFFALO BONE AFFIRMATIONS The buffalo is a true reminder of the greater whole - a symbol of abundance, promise, and great prosperity. Early Native Americans used the buffalo in its entirety – the meat fed people, the skins provided clothing and coverings, bones and sinew provided survival tools, hoofs provided glue/jelly, and the horns were used for call/sounding horns, pipes, prayers, drinking vessels (H2O & Ceremonial), weapon paints, and trade items. Since the mid-80's, Shirley (aka W.I.T.) has been looking for a way to strengthen our world through use of positive affirmations. In 2009, she discovered polished buffalo bone. She laser engraved the piece you are holding with a great deal of care, thought, respect, and sacredness for the buffalo and for the special message it brings. Holding it allows us to think about the meaning of the important affirmation engraved on it. We can visualize, taste, smell, hear, and touch the goal it represents - every time the bone touches our fingers. Please carry it with respect for the buffalo that gave it life. Shirley Holstrom, firstname.lastname@example.com, 575-987-2403PO Box 124 – Timberon, NM 88350

Perfect denim skirt...cut very small though. Actually went up one size because I like it so much, but surprised...
Great little skirt, lovely fit and the length is just perfect. The skirt is only slightly A line so not to wide and the material has a small amount of stretch making it very comfortable. All in all a great buy!

- Hood River Suites Owner
- Il simbolo Airbnb di Julie
Ciao, sono Julie!
Welcome to wonderful Hood River! I had always wanted to live in Hood River and finally made that happen by buying Hood River Suites in 1999.
Hood River Suites were a 9 unit 1-bedroom apartment building that I converted into vacation rentals. Located at 709 Cascade Ave (7th/Cascade) in the heart of downtown Hood River. I also rent my house at 922 Oak St out when I am not using it. More pictures and area info are available on the site hoodriversuites
My properties are legal rentals registered in the City of Hood River and I pay the 8% city and 1% state transient lodging tax. My rates are higher and odd numbers because I include the tax in the rate.
Example: $141 per night is $130 per night plus $11.70 tax but air bnb won't list it as 141.70.

The Witcher 3 will be more open-world, and 'about 30 times' the size of its critically-acclaimed predecessor, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Storywise it will be up to par with the first two titles, though with much less limitations as far as player control and exploration goes. You'll be able to wander between the various areas without loading screens Lastly, it was revealed that this is in fact the last Witcher title, as the studio feels confident that they can end the series 'on a high note.'
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, running on CDPR's own REDEngine 3, is due out in 2014. Still haven't picked up The Witcher 2 yet? You can now find the Enhanced Edition on Xbox 360 for $30 US.

Product Details
This bikini beach skirt is perfect for days when you don't want to bare it all.
Size & Fit Details
Cinched bikini beach skirt
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MRCC Exactly What I'd Been Looking For I prefer swim skirts as I no longer have the figure I once had, and swim skirts with a cinched or ruched waist work best to hide my flaws so that I can feel comfortable wearing a 2-piece. I am extremely happy with this purchase because the price, fit, and quality are exactly what I've been looking for in a swim skirt over the past few years. PRICE: I've paid much more (even double) for swim skirts which faded after a day at the lake, etc. and/or weren't as figure-flattering as this swim skirt. FIT: I'm between sizes extra-small and small (hips are 36.5 inches), so I tried both. Since the material of the swim skirt is on the thin side, the tight fit of the extra-small was not the best for concealing all flaws. The size small works perfect for me. QUALITY: I purchased the red swim skirt to wear for our beach vacation (I wore it with the Dotty Underwire Bow Top in bistro blue/red), & both top and bottom still look as pretty as they did before the 2 all-day wearings and 2 washings. March 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michelle BEST SWIM SKIRT I'VE EVER OWNED and I've owned a LOT of swim skirts. Don't buy and uncomfortable one that promises to shrink your tummy, just buy this lovely, naturally flattering skirt. And it's pretty fantastic with any of the swing tops. I bought size M which is my normal size. May 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopgirl99 Perfect fit I have never been disapointed by JCrew swimwear and this is no exception. I just wanted something cute that also covered my upper thigh area and this fits perfectly. Very comfortable, I look forward to wearing this on vacation soon. February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Betty99 Flattering! Love the color (belvedere red) and fit! Long enough to cover the saggy parts at the tops of my legs, but not so long that it looks dowdy. The waist comes up high enough so that my baby stretch marks that are about 4 inches below my navel are covered up. I am 5' 7" and I usually wear a 29 or 6 in JCrew clothes and the medium fit perfectly. It isn't so loose that it would fall down on me, but also not so tight that I'm getting muffin top. I purchased the French bikini top (interesting strap configuration. Check it out!) in the same color to wear with this. They look great together! Lastly, I think this red would look great on any skin tone. It is bright, but looks very nice on my fair skin. And bright colors always look great on dark skin, so I would recommend this for anybody. And of course the quality is top notch, as it has always been with any JCrew swimsuit I have purchased. April 9, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by KbsNC Flattering but runs big This skirt is flattering and is perfect if you want a more conservative but not frumpy option for the beach. It does seem to run big - I usually wear a small in bikini bottoms but this is loose and rides up when I sit. Don't have time to exchange it before our vacation so ill just take it in myself. For reference, I'm 5'5" and an athletic 125 lbs. One complaint- for the price, the hem should be finished. The raw edge seems cheap and this bottom wasn't! March 15, 2016

Psychic Kids
True Life Stories of Children Who See Beyond the Everyday
By Sue Bishop

There's a global phenomenon going on. You may have sensed it, others have too. Our kids are becoming more psychic. Why? It's because they're being born with an awareness that belies their age. These children stand out because many of them have the wisdom of old souls. It is this uniqueness that keeps us on our toes, because these kids don't come with a user manual. They are breaking all the rules of how things are meant to be. The psychic child is capable of crossing the boundaries between two worlds — our everyday world and the spirit world. And I can empathise with parents who feel they are not keeping pace with these changes.
Discovering that your child has amazing psychic abilities can be incredibly exciting. It can also be confronting when they see and hear things that you can't. As a parent, I know how concerned you might feel having to deal with it. As a psychic, I can appreciate what your child is going through.
Caitlin had an unsettling experience when her three- year-old Steven came running into the house.
'She won't play with me!' he cried.
'Who won't?' asked Caitlin.
'The little girl,' he replied.
Caitlin couldn't see anyone. 'What little girl?'
'That one out there,' he said, pointing to the courtyard.
They went outside together.
'Talk to her,' he demanded. 'Tell her to play with me.'
'Where is she?' Caitlin asked.
'Right there,' he cried, pointing in frustration. 'Look, I'll show you.' Steven grabbed a ball and threw it towards the corner of the courtyard.
'See!' he sobbed. 'She won't try to catch it.'
Caitlin didn't know how to explain to him that the little girl wasn't real.
Then his seven-year-old brother Robbie came out. 'Where is she, Steven?' he asked. When Steven pointed to the same spot, Robbie hopped onto his bike and proceeded to run over the imaginary girl.
'See, there's no one here,' he said hopefully. Unfortunately Robbie didn't help. Steven became hysterical, crying and screaming because the girl wouldn't play with him, and because no one else could see that she was real. Caitlin tried explaining the girl was in his mind but he didn't believe her. So everyone ended up unhappy and frustrated.
Later on, after enrolling in one of my psychic development classes, Caitlin realised that Steven was actually psychic.
'He started seeing coloured circles around people. What he was seeing was their auras,' she told me. 'One day, when he was about six, my friend Brenda was over having coffee and Steven looked at her and said, "Mummy, her wheels aren't spinning right."'
When talking about 'wheels' Steven was describing Brenda's chakras or energy centres. These whirling energy centres do look like spinning wheels. Your body has seven main chakras, and each of these centres helps you to deal with different areas of life, such as your finances, sexuality, relating to others, speaking your mind, or connecting with nature, to name but a few applications.
At the time Caitlin had no idea what Steven was on about so she asked him what he meant.
Steven pointed to Brenda's chest, stomach and throat. 'Those wheels,' he said. He pointed to her throat chakra first and said, 'That one is going too far over there.' Although Steven didn't understand fully what he was seeing, he could see her throat chakra was out of alignment. This means that Brenda had an unresolved self-expression issue she needed to deal with. Then Steven pointed to her heart chakra. 'That one looks like it's got mud in it.' This indicated that Brenda was stuck in a no-win love situation. Then he pointed his finger down to Brenda's solar plexus chakra, just under the rib cage, and said, 'And this one is turned off.'
As Brenda struggled to hold back tears, Caitlin realised that Steven was undeniably right with what he was sensing. Brenda was going through a lot of emotional grief (heart chakra) with an ongoing dispute between her husband and son. She was feeling disempowered (solar plexus chakra) because neither of them was listening to her. Now it was showing up clearly in her chakras.
In the midst of all the drama there was a moment of humour as Robbie, who was also in the room, pointed out, 'I know how we can now make money, Mum. Let's start up a kids' psychic line!'
Being psychic, or having the sixth sense, is a gift. It means you have extrasensory perception, the ability to pick up information that the other five senses can't. Add clarity and insight to the mix and you have the perfect sensor that helps you get far more accurate impressions of what's going on in and around you. It also lets you do some pretty amazing things as well. Imagine being able to accurately predict the future or using your intuition to help your family and friends.
While some say that psychic ability is a gift that few people have, the truth is that all young children are psychic, even though it might not be apparent. Just because certain kids show more pronounced psychic tendencies than others, it doesn't mean that the rest aren't intuitive. The environment a child is in influences their ability to use their psychic talents. If they're in a noisy home where the TV is on 24/7, or where they never get the chance to be quiet or be outside in nature, their psychic gifts will tend to fade. This is because they are constantly being distracted, so they don't listen to their inner voice as much.
Children experience their sixth sense in their own unique way. Some see things such as a grandparent who is in spirit. Others intuitively feel what is going on around them, like picking up on your true emotions or the feeling of a situation. There are children who hear spirits talking to them. And there are kids who get a sense, or an inner knowing, about something without being told anything about it.
Given that so many children being born today are incredibly psychic, it's essential you have a deeper understanding of what's going on. This book will walk you through the beautiful world of the psychic child. It will give you an insight into why children see, hear, feel and know about things that lie beyond our everyday perception. By using the simple and practical tools provided here, you will be able to support and nurture your child's development. I'm sure you will also find that the process of unravelling the mystery behind their talent can be an inspiring and uplifting journey for you as well.CHAPTER 2
The psychic child sees things differently to most adults and this is where tensions can arise. What is real to them might not seem real to you. And this is where your worlds separate — if you're not already working with your own psychic abilities then it can seem confusing and challenging to understand their exceptional perspective. So, what does it mean to be psychic? What kind of experiences is your child having? What adjustments do you need to make to help meet their needs and your own? Sometimes it seems like there are more questions than answers. And trying to sort reality from illusion can be difficult for concerned parents.
The key is to start by informing yourself about what goes on in their world — what a psychic child is and what they do. Once you understand what your child's psychic gift means and how it works, you'll feel confident enough to guide and nurture them.
How do you know if your child is psychic? Well, everyone is born psychic. However, some children are able to keep their psychic abilities open as they make the transition from childhood into adulthood. Others stop using their psychic abilities early on in life. It's not uncommon to find that psychic kids doubt they can be psychic. Also, just because a child's sixth sense isn't initially apparent doesn't mean that it's not playing out in their lives. It's easy to miss their intuition at work in inconsequential everyday things, like them knowing who's coming to visit before you announce it, or who's going to send the next message to them on Facebook. It's also easy to dismiss these small snippets of intuition as coincidence when they're not.
If you begin by assuming that your child does have psychic ability, it will help you to recognise their gift, even if it isn't fully developed. This is the first hurdle — breaking the belief that psychics are few and far between.
The next thing to recognise is that psychic children are sensitive. This doesn't necessarily mean that they are emotionally sensitive, although a lot are, but they are highly tuned into, and reactive to, their environment, just like six-year-old Krysta.
For months Krysta kept telling her mother, 'There is a little dark boy sitting on my bed.' Being young, she didn't know of another word to use to describe the Indigenous-looking boy.
Finally, one day her mother said, 'What does this little boy want?'
'He's scary. He wants me to go away,' replied Krysta.
'He won't say. He keeps telling me to get out ... get out!'
Shortly after Krysta's mother took her to see a spiritual healer hoping for more than a healing — she needed answers.
The healer was also psychic and she used her ability to tune in on the spirit in Krysta's room.
'I'm seeing an image of an Indigenous boy. I'm being told that you are living on an old Indigenous sacred site,' she said. 'Did you know that?'
The next day Krysta's mother investigated the history of the Burns Bay Reserve in Lane Cove, Sydney. She discovered that it actually was once a sacred site. Indigenous people have a strong affinity to the land. They also believe that their ancestors walk among them. Sacred sites are very important to them, so it's easy to understand why the boy was trying to tell Krysta to get out.
The spiritual healer helped Krysta deal with her disturbing situation. She said Krysta had to close the doorway to the spirit world in her bedroom all by herself. Krysta's mother was a bit shocked by the suggestion. How could a little girl do that?
As it turns out, Krysta was up to the challenge, as these remarkable children are when you give them a voice.
'What can we do to help the little boy go?' asked her mother.
'What if I get my fairy wand and I send him magic white light fairy dust and tell him to go with his mummy?' said Krysta enthusiastically.
She did this and after that she never saw the boy again. Although she didn't necessarily understand what she was doing, Krysta was using the power of intention. She was determined to help this young boy in a loving way. You can use the power of intention too. If you focus your thoughts, or create a powerful loving statement of what is required, the energy of your words, and your actions, can produce wonderful results that benefit everyone.
Your child will really appreciate your involvement in situations like this. By seeking answers Krysta's mother was able to help support Krysta's unique view of life. This little girl has some valuable life skills. By helping her with them, her mother is supporting her daughter in numerous ways. You can do the same for yourself and for your child. If you don't know what to do, or you don't trust in your own sixth sense to help you deal with a situation like this, seek advice from someone recommended to you who you can trust. It will be a very special learning curve for everyone.CHAPTER 3
Krysta was opening up to her psychic abilities but she didn't understand it at the time. When your child is learning the lesson of what it is like to be psychic, they will have some fantastic growth spurts, which can be sensesational. And then there's bound to be the occasional hiccup as they develop their skills. It's perfectly reasonable for parents to want to know the ins and outs of being psychic. They often ask me, 'What happens to psychic children as they grow up?' and 'What kind of a psychic will they be?' because they worry that their kids may end up as the fringe-dwellers of a new frontier in consciousness and awareness. With support, however, these kids can lead very empowered, useful lives as adults. It doesn't mean that they can't be a brain surgeon, astronaut or best-selling writer. The important thing for parents is that they get up to speed. For most, it's back to the classroom to learn Psychic 101.
The first lesson is to understand what being psychic is and to explore the various types of psychic abilities your child might have. A psychic is someone who has the sixth sense, or extrasensory perception, and this gives them a heightened awareness, like sensitivity to energy, the ability to 'read' people's thoughts and feelings, or see what the future holds. But there is more than one way to psychically pick up information. The difference lies in how your sixth sense obtains its impressions. For example, your child could be a clairvoyant, clairaudient or clairsentient or they might be a medium or use telepathy. And they may have one or more of these sensory gifts.
If your child is clairvoyant it means that they see things. They get intuitive impressions through symbols, pictures or visions in their mind's eye. Sometimes they might even see an entire scene playing out in their mind as if they are watching a movie. A clairvoyant is a visual psychic.
The clairaudient child hears the voice of spirits talking to them. It might sound like the voice of a real person standing in the room, but there is no one there. Or, they may experience it as a voice talking inside their head. The voice might tell them about something that's about to happen or give them the answer to a question. This is their inner voice, the voice of their higher self, speaking to them. A clairaudient hears things psychically.
If your child is clairsentient it means that they feel things. They get impressions, or sense things, but quite often can't see auras or hear Spirit talking aloud. It plays out as an inner knowing that tells them what's going on with people or situations. So they can accurately sense what is going on in someone's aura, or they sense the presence of Spirit rather than see or hear it. They know how someone is feeling by picking up their vibe, or they might pick up on someone's pain by feeling the pain inside of their own body. A clairsentient is a feeling psychic.
A child with mediumship ability communicates with family and friends who are in spirit. They deliver messages of comfort and reassurance from our loved ones in spirit to let us know that they are okay and that they are watching over us. When this communication is opened, they get messages or intuitive impressions but they don't always see the spirit. Some mediums do get a vision in their mind's eye, which is the third-eye or the psychic chakra. A medium is a spiritual messenger.
Children who are telepathic are able to tune into your thoughts. They might not necessarily repeat what's on your mind verbatim, but they'll give you the overall gist of what you have been thinking. A telepath is a mind reader.
Why not spend a few moments reviewing your child's experiences? Which category do they fit into? Perhaps your child can work with a few of their psychic senses at the same time, such as being both clairaudient and clairsentient and therefore hearing and feeling things.
Either way, your child is one of a new breed of souls who are born equipped to work with their psychic ability. They need this skill because this generation has arrived in a rapidly changing world. They are geared up to deal with the problems associated with living in volatile and uncertain times, as long as we can nurture their gifts. Many have chosen to come into the world now to be agents of change. Being more switched on, or 'with it', than previous generations means that they can be visionaries.

Napier's book ought to be not just brilliant in spurts, but throughout, and therefore, important. In his insightful 'how to' section, Nick Napier offers practical, hands-on teaching approaches and scene starting techniques. No touchy-feely stuff here, this is hard core 'do this' direction. You will become a stronger improvisor, or find validation and language for what you do if you already are a strong improvisor, by reading chapters three to the end. You will be dazzled and validated by his easy-to-apply techniques, and no-nonsense, do-it-now language. Like much genius, Napier's advice is elegant and obvious. You'll wish you'd thought of saying it that way. It's huge. And wonderful, right away, as they say. From chapter three on, he presents the first improv text to address performance practice. This is a neglected and vital subject (practical technique for 'acceptance' in real-time) approached with positive principals, and directness. Napier's insight into what makes bad improv teaching practice is worthy, original, painfully obvious, and daringly contrarian, and if he'd kept his argument on target, he'd have added a marvelous opening to his true achievement, the manual section of the book. If he'd exhibited this restraint and stuck to his own experience, his book might have been the improvisational equivalent of Melissa Bruder's gem, A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR THE ACTOR, and become the most indespensible book in all improvisation literature. However, like the teachers he rages against, who interpret Spolin and Johnstone as a series of 'don'ts', Napier misses the mark. He blames the problems of improv pedagogy on the 'rules' themselves, states them negatively, then describes their 'evolution' as if they were always stated negatively, which simply isn't so. As a result, he introduces his would-be revolution with a sloppy, whining, misplaced rant, which is neither researched nor causal, a charge he levels against his 'enemies'. There is nothing like actual information to strengthen an argument. It's sorely lacking here. You can also skip chapter 10, 'Improvisation and the Second Law of Thermodynamics', which I think he thinks is funny, but instead is contrived and boring except for the dead poodle. He's trying too hard. Genuinely funny is the fact that the dead poodle makes his point concisely and with wit, as opposed to his long-winded explanation of the physics behind the crushed pup. Not even his attempt at humorous apology work (didn't he just warn actors against apologizing?) during this deadening physics lecture. It's a little sad, actually. Also sad is that as he expands his advice, he advises his readers to apply the 'rules' he despises in a positive manner, with rigor and vigor (DO something, make choices, accept, dare the unknown, etc.). Ironic that he's very Spolin, very Johnstone, at his core, which, given his contrarian stance, makes one wonder if he's ever read Johnstone or Spolin. If he's going so far as to write a text, he should have done the reading, especially since he calls himself a latent scientist. A scientist does his research and cites primary sources. Note - there is no bibliography in his book. But as I said before, hang in there, once he gets to his true expertise, he's worth the trouble. When he ends his negative justifications (interestingly, one of his improvisation rules is, 'don't justify'), and gets to his explanation of 'deals', we're in excellent hands. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION, not a pan. Just skim or skip the boring, whining and inaccurate first two chapters and tenth chapters, and go right to the meat of the book starting with chapter 3 'How to Improvise'. You'll find an innovative, brilliant teacher at his best, and indispensible advice, especially for the advanced improvisor. You'll benefit from his strengths: putting fun, play and techniques used by some of the finest artists in theater improvisation into accessible, no-nons
