Self Help Anger Management

By Mikayla Kylie

From all the anger management techniques children could use, would be the concept of trying simply to walk away from the situation to diffuse it for a short while at least. A warning could be given to the opposition if the situation continues, and that warning would have to be followed through, to prove that you are serious and that you have tried to ward off the so-called opposition. It is not the easiest of ways trying to diffuse a situation but it does allow some time frame to gather your thoughts and not make rash decisions or cause damage.

Where council is needed anger management groups for children could also prove very helpful. They would not feel alone in their world on how to deal with situations and problems on a daily basis. They could literally hear what others have done in the past and hopefully learn from others true experiences. It is just as important for the parent to share the anger management exercises for children, as they then too learn how to connect with the child and their ways of dealing and seeing what works positively for the child. Do not invade their privacy; give them the space to breathe. Even as a parent you have to still learn that no matter how young or old your children are, they are entitled to some privacy of their own.

The activity you give them should be challenging and it should keep their interest. Remember that kids don't have very long attention spans so give them something challenging to do and let them do it in private as a punishment. Soon, they'll learn how to control their anger and you'll no longer have to worry about teaching children with anger management issues.

Attending an anger management counseling center for classes will make you happier in the long run by helping you to deal with both the problems and effects of anger. Learn what's really bothering you so you can correct it, but also learn how to control angry flare ups when they do occur (and they do occur to even the most disciplined of us). Remember, anger is a natural emotion in response to some cause, be it stubbing your toe, wrecking your car, filing for bankruptcy, or getting a divorce. You can't always avoid anger, but with anger management group counseling it can be the least of your worries.

Usually, when the decision is made to seek family counseling for anger management, the person or people who actually need it, the ones with the anger management problems, don't want to go. It's up to the rest of the family to encourage them to seek help. If they don't, they should be told, the family will be pushed further and further apart and that could mean disastrous things for everyone involved. To get them to go, a lot of love should be shown so that they know that support will be given at every step along the way.

This method of anger management may look somewhat different to different people. For some, visualizing a relaxing spot may be the ticket to blowing off steam. For others, putting the situation in perspective may help. Ask yourself if the current situation will really make a difference tomorrow, next week or a year from now. Some find humor is the perfect form of anger management, and will look for a reason to laugh in the midst of a tense situation. The key is to find the anger management strategy that works for you and use it whenever necessary. - 30535

Common Reasons for Inaccurate Tarot Readings

By Scott Petullo

Most people know that tarot cards are about as evil as coloring books. Instead of being tools of some satanic force, they're simply pieces of cardboard with pictures that help to trigger intuition. The more intuitive a reader is, and the more they know the cards and have established a dependable system to use them, the more accurate their readings are.

Of course, the question for the tarot reader is important too. General, unfocussed, or trivial questions tend to get poor results. Specific questions tend to get specific answers. Questions such as "Will I be rich?" or "When will I meet my soul mate?" are very common, but not well stated; rich means different things to different people and we all have many soul mates. "What will be with the idea I have for a business?" or "What will be with my love life in the next 6 months?" are much more appropriate questions. Also, if the questioner isn't supposed to know something because it may interfere with his or her destined path, for example, a good reader will know the question isn't meant to be explored.

Another important yet often overlooked factor which effects accuracy with tarot spreads is personal energy. Just as you have a great energy connection with certain friends which results in great experiences, or a poor energy connection with a neighbor who isn't respectful, positive or negative energy between a reader and client can greatly influence the quality of the reading.

For example, when Stephen does a tarot reading for a long-standing client with whom he has a great working relationship, the energy connection is good and that person's faith in Stephen as a reader allows the information he "receives" to flow freely and copiously. Alternatively, when he does a reading for someone who's very critical and skeptical or who happens to be projecting, for whatever reason, a lot of negativity energy, because of Stephen's strong empathic and spiritually sensitive state, he'll feel blocked and not compelled to help the person.

How does tarot work? There are many theories, but we believe tarot readings can very effectively outline current and destined personal circumstances because there exists a divine order in this Universe, everyone is intimately connected to this order, and because fate exists. Also, the 78 unique tarot cards and the methods employed using them are mathematically and symbolically synchronistic with "what is." An experienced tarot reader can tap into this synchronicity. It is not an "accident" or "coincidence" when certain cards appear in certain positions in the tarot spread of an experienced reader.

Some readers claim that their tarot spreads are "...only about the current path you are on. It's possible you will change directions and avoid the outcome indicated." In some cases this can be true, but some readers might say this because they lack confidence in their abilities, or to attempt to empower their clients and keep them from feeling too much fear about the future.

However, based on our 22+ years (combined 44+) of experience with metaphysics, we believe that the majority of significant future personal life events and circumstances, as outlined by tarot, comprehensive astrology and numerology, and other esoteric sciences, are immutable. If something is going to happen, it's going to happen.

We believe, based on years of regular spreads for ourselves and others, that the future can be seen through tarot. However, as stated above, results depend heavily upon the reader and other factors listed in this column.

Lastly, to provide a better idea of why some readers don't offer as much insight as you might hope, here are some other common reasons for inaccurate tarot readings:

*The reader, even with an extremely successful track record and a very consistent, high accuracy level, has an off reading and happens to give one of his or her inaccurate readings to the client (no reader is 100% accurate).

*The reader is inexperienced with the process and, or does not yet know at least the bulk of the symbolism found through each of the 78 cards.

*The reader is not very intuitive, or his or her intuition is blocked for whatever reason.

*The reader's philosophies and beliefs conflict with "what is" (e.g., he or she tells the client that they can cheat fate and erase all of their tough karma without having to directly balance it, or that they can have the "relationship of their dreams" whenever they want, creating a "permanent," blissful, conflict-free "life-partner" situation without the use of self-deception, manipulation, and conditional love).

*The day and time (universal, and the client's personal numerological and astrological timing) of the reading strongly suggests, despite the high level of expertise and accuracy of the reader, that information imparted at that moment may not be as appropriate or accurate as it would be at other times.

*The client is fated to hear specific information in the reading that turns out to be inaccurate, but that information helps to ultimately steer them in the right direction.

*The reader is biased about the issue related to the reading; human filters can and sometimes do get in the way of spiritual guidance. - 30535

How To Cure Panic Attacks Swiftly

By Bertram Martin Adams

Panic disorder is a common condition in which a person has episodes of intense fear or agitation that occur all of a sudden. Panic episodes can indicate the presence of panic disorder, depression, or other kinds of anxiety-based diseases. A panic fit sometimes lasts for several minutes and is one of the most distressing conditions a person can experience. Panic fits can happen at any point, even while asleep. An attack generally peaks within 10 minutes, but some symptoms may last longer. At least 1.7% of adult USA citizens, or about 3 million folk, will have panic fits at one point in their lives. Panic fits could be evidence of an agitation disorder.

These attacks are a serious health problem in this country. About 5% of the people will experience panic attacks during their lifetimes. There also appears to be a connection with major life transitions like graduating from college and entering the workplace, getting married, and having a baby.

Severe stress, for example the demise of a friend, divorce, or job loss can also trigger a panic attack.

More women than men are affected by panic episodes. Some people are affected by frequent panic episodes, a condition known as panic disorder. A panic fit is a reply of the sympathetic nervous system ( SNS ). The commonest symptoms may include : quivering, dyspnea ( lack of breath ), heart pulsations, chest pain ( or chest tightness ), sweating, revulsion, dizziness ( or slight vertigo ), light-headedness, hyperventilation, paresthesias ( tingling sensations ), sensations of choking or smothering. Plenty of the symptoms that occur in a panic episode are the same as the symptoms of sicknesses of the heart, lungs, guts or nervous system. The similarities between panic disorder and other diseases may add to the person's stress and fear during and after a panic episode. Heredity, stress and certain biochemical factors may play a role. Several drugs can make panic fits less grim or stop them altogether. Paroxetine ( name : Paxil ) and sertraline ( name : Zoloft ) are antidepressant medicines that have been licensed by the U.S.

Medications from the beta blocker family ( for example, propranolol ) are infrequently used to treat the physical symptoms related to a panic episode. Anti-depressants are very effective in forestalling agitation and panic episodes. Anti-depressants will not make you lose control or change your personality. These medicines can be used for as long as mandatory, even for years. Alprazolam and clonazepam ( brand : Klonopin ) are also medicines approved by the FDA to treat panic disorder. These drugs give relief from fear and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral treatment helps people learn to address panic symptoms, using techniques like muscle and breathing relaxation. Antidepressants, for example Tofranil, often help reduce uneasiness and the frequency and severity of panic fits. Psychotherapy offers support and helps to minimize the fearfulness of symptoms, and sometimes is sufficient to clear up the disorder.

Panic Attack Treatment Tips

1. Alternative remedies like meditation and relaxation care are typically used to help relax the body and relieve anxiety.

2. Psychotherapy offers support and helps to reduce the fearfulness of symptoms, and often is sufficient to clear up the disorder.

3. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps folk learn to address panic symptoms, using techniques like muscle and respiring relaxation.

4. Antidepressants, such as Tofranil, often help reduce tension and the frequency and seriousness of panic attacks.

5. Benzodiazepines - These anti-anxiety drugs act terribly quickly.

6. Anti-depressants have been shown to slash panic attacks . - 30535

What to Ask Online Psychic Readers

By John Atanasov

Online psychic readers have probably heard it all. But there are some things you shouldn't ask a psychic in a live online reading and some things you definitely should ask. It's helpful to know how to phrase your questions as well. This will ensure that you get the best from your psychic reading.

Many online psychic readers are not comfortable answering questions about health. This is because most of them are not doctors and to answer medical questions could be construed as practicing medicine. Questions relating to pregnancy, fertility, STDs, and the like are better addressed with your medical practitioner. It's not that a psychic can't answer these kinds of questions, because some online psychics are also medically intuitive. But to ask these questions in an online reading is just not appropriate in most instances and most online psychics won't answer them. For the same reason, posing legal questions to an online psychic falls into another gray area, and some psychics won't answer those either.

What you should ask about is relationship issues, career issues, money issues, business partnerships, family issues. There are some very good empaths online who can tune right in to what another person is feeling and thinking about you. And that can be helpful for you to know if you need to make imminent decisions. Ask about your future as well, but do it in a specific, rather than general way.

Phrase your specific questions in a way that the psychic can tune in quickly and bring you back an accurate answer. For example, do not ask broad ranging questions such as "Do you have any messages for me?" Ask instead "Does my father, Chris, who crossed over in April have any advice for me about what to do regarding my career?" Do not ask "What am I supposed to know?" Ask instead "What exactly do I need to know about my job situation?" Ask "Will I get a promotion or a raise and when?" Ask "When will I get another job?" Ask "Should I move to Arizona or California?" instead of "Should I move?" If you're involved in a lawsuit, ask what the outcome will be. Ask if you will prevail in any upcoming legal battles. Do not ask "What's going to happen in my life?"

In terms of relationships, do not give a false name about someone you'd like to know about. This can result in inaccurate information being brought to you. Ask "How do you see the relationship between me and so and so shaping up? Does it lead to long term commitment? Or is it just a temporary fling? How long do you see us staying together? Do we have real connection there? Or is our relationship just about lessons?" Ask if the person has genuine feelings for you. If you're looking for your soul mate ask "Do you see anyone new entering my life and when?" Ask if they know the person's name as well. Ask then if this person is your soul mate or not.

Ask "What should I do about my sick mother? Should I put her in a home, should I hire a caretaker?" Do not ask "When is my mother going to cross over?" Ask if there is anything you need to clear up with your mother. And then do so.

Do ask for clarification on lessons you are currently working on. Do ask what you need to know or do to make those lessons easier or bring a cycle to a conclusion. Ask for time frames. Some psychics can furnish these. Some can't. Some throw out names and dates just say they do so. That is why it's important to take notes during an online psychic reading. Then you can refer back to your notes to see if the psychic's predictions have come to pass or not. We are definitely attached to knowing when and how. While an online psychic reading can sometimes help you with that, be aware that we do change things with our free will. So time frames can shift depending on what you do or do not do. Now that you know what to ask and how to phrase it you're ready for to call for your online - 30535

New Abstract On HBP And Stress: Symptoms And Cures

By Angela Richards

While there is stress is not directly linked to the onset of HBP, higher stress level can lead to increased irregular heartbeat, shortage of breath and spikes of increased blood pressure.

Experiencing stress is normal; however, living in constant stress will eventually lead to developing a serious health condition such as cardiovascular diseases, ulcers, depression, diabetes and other illnesses. In this article we are going to review what stress means and will explain different ways to cope with stress.

Understanding Stress:

Following from General Adaptation Syndrome model, the person reacts to stress in three main divisions.

The fists phase is known as an "alarm" reaction. During this stage the person feels a stressful stimuli and adrenalin is released into the body to create "fight-or-flight" response.

The second phase is called "resistance" response. While at this stage, if the stressor is still present, the body will try its best to adjust to the stressful environment. This will lead to the slow depletion of resources.

The third stage is called "exhaustion" response. Due to the exhausted defence system of the body, majority of illnesses can develop at this stage.

Stress Warning Signs:

  • Physical - inability to relax, pains, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, aches, insomnia, tiredness, muscle tension, indigestion, sweaty palms, ringing in the ears,

  • Cognitive - Poor judgment, constant worry, difficulty making decisions, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, lack of creativity, loss of sense of humor

  • Emotional - a general negative outlook, excessive worrying, mood swings, irritability, anger, irritability, feeling lonely, depressed, feeling hopeless

  • Behavioral - eating too much or not enough, sleeping too much or not enough, withdrawing from others, procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities, using alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax, and nervous habits (e.g. nail biting)

    Coping with Stress

    There are several ways to cope with stress.

    Confirmed by medical research, exercising is an effective way to manage stress. Actually, it has been reported to be just as powerful as using medication.

    Another way to reduce your stress is by using majority of relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, meditation, listening to calm music, or employ anything that makes you feel peaceful.

    If it is necessary, to evaluate the stressful situation one can imagine stepping out of this situation and viewing it from a bystander point of view. This allows viewing situation in from different angles without being angry or experiencing stress symptoms.

    Despite the fact that it has not been scientifically proven that stress is directly related to high blood pressure some stress factors may contribute to this phenomena. For instance, stressful situation may result in lack of exercise, weight gain from eating excessively or smoking and consuming too much alcohol. In addition, if the person is under constant stress the immune system is exhausted and hormonal imbalance makes other organs work improperly. - 30535

    5 Steps to Naturally Overcome Panic Attacks

    By Julie U. Stevenson

    When you are picking out a self help book you need to find the one that works best for you. Testimonials can be helpful in selecting the perfect self help book.

    Get Some Exercise

Doing activities such as walking or jogging help to release stress and anxiety. Anxiety is one of the triggering factors of panic attacks. Try to get between 15 and 20 minutes of exercise a day at the very least. Take the dog for a walk, go for a bike ride or dance around the house. Any type of exercise is better than no exercise at all!

    A Balanced Diet

    A poor diet can lead to many illness and diseases. It can also make panic attacks worse. Improving your diet will not stop panic attacks from occurring; however changing your diet for the better can make panic attacks easier to deal with. Cut back on caffeine and excessive sweets. You should try to eat fruit vegetable and lean proteins every day. You should also consider taking a once daily multivitamin, especially if you do not get the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    Keep Yourself Busy

    There is no reason to sit around and wait for a panic attack to present itself. It is important that you stay busy and keep your mid active. Take your kids to the park, cut the grass or run the sweeper. This will allow your mind to have less idle time and it will decrease your chances of having a panic attack.

    Breathing Exercise

    The use of breathing exercises can be very helpful when it comes to panic attacks. Many people find that if they use breathing exercises in the beginning of a panic attack it can help to relive the attack. Breathing exercises are also useful if you are in a full blown panic attack.

    You can deter a panic attacks with the use of breathing exercises. Breathing exercises are especially helpful if you begin to use them as soon as you feel the panic attack coming on.

    Even though it may be tempting to go for the medication that is something you want to avoid. The side effects from prescription medication can be extremely bad. All those medications do is numb your brain, instead of actually teaching you life long tools that you will always be able to make use of. - 30535

    Regression Therapy - Why Should You Remember?

    By David Shakkid

    Are you suffering from feelings of abandonment? Do you have an addictive personality? Does it seem like you are always the victim of an evil person? Do you have issues with rage or anger? What are your relationships like; are they healthy? Do you feel like something is missing even though you seem to have it all?

    If you think that you are having issues on one of these areas and you tried every possible way to address them but they still keep on coming around then you MUST read this article as you may never have considered that Regression Therapy could help solve all your problems!

    In the words of the Past Life Therapy Center, regression therapy is "facing the dark to encourage the light". This is a form of hypnotherapy where the client is helped by a therapist to revisit their past while still fully conscious.

    These past experiences can include experiences from the adulthood of the client, their adolescence; even all the way back to their prenatal stage!

    Past life regression therapy however takes this a step further and takes clients back in time to before conception; to a time before their previous life.

    This idea of having had previous lives is very difficult for most people to come to terms with, but there is actually overwhelming evidence to suggest that this present life is just one of many which we experience.

    Some clients for example have reported detailed memories of fighting in a historic war, others speak of hunting in the Stone Age and yet others recall their present spouse from a former life.

    What is really exciting is when people can manage to physically verify information about things that they remembered during their past life regression therapy session. This can be done by looking at old parish records etc.

    There are also startling reports around the world of children who can accurately remember their recent past lives and get to meet people still living that they were once related to.

    Knowing what happened in a past life can shed tremendous light on our current lives. They shape our personalities and perceptions of the world we now live in.

    A term called Faulty Thoughts was coined by regression therapists. This describes the negative internal dialogue that we have and may have created in another life experience. It becomes a part of the emotional baggage we carry around with us today.

    The person who has created these negative feelings can get relief by releasing these feelings in order to allow their energy field to be molded into a positive one. Forgiveness, re-patterning and karmic repayment are all ways of releasing these negative feelings.

    Forgiveness is a basic biblical principle; the entire faith is dependent upon it. Karmic repayment is the idea that we must repay the wrongs we have committed even if they are from a previous life. Basically correct the bad behavior to correct the bad karma.

    After taking these measures to rid one of negative feelings, we can re-pattern our energy field into a positive thing, with good feelings of tranquility and peace.

    Regression therapy can be hard on you but is truly life changing. Clients nearly universally report having a more positive outlook on life and a feeling of renewal.

    But of course, to achieve this result, every client must have a tough commitment to know himself thoroughly and change the way he is expecting his life to be.

    Regression therapy offers a truly unique way of looking at the human mind and personality and whether to help with problems you may be having or to satisfy your curiosity about past lives, it is something worthy of your consideration. - 30535

    Men On Tricyclic Antidepressant More Likely To Think Of Suicide

    By Carlo Mueres

    All antidepressants may not be created equal when it comes to worsening of suicidal ideation during treatment, researchers found.

    Men taking nortriptyline (Aventyl, Pamelor) were 2.4 times more likely to have an increase in suicidal thoughts than were those taking escitalopram (Lexapro), Nader Perroud, MD, of King's College London, and colleagues reported online in BMC Medicine.

    Nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, was also associated with a 9.8-fold higher risk of new onset of suicidal ideation compared with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) in the prospective open-label trial.

    The reason behind the difference may be that nortriptyline acts predominantly on the noradrenergic system, which, when overactive, is associated with anxiety and agitation.

    Because "suicidal ideation is more common in agitated and irritable types of depression," the researchers said, "it is possible that nortriptyline may induce or worsen suicidal thoughts in some male subjects possibly through an induction of this more agitated type of depression."

    Another possibility is that nortriptyline is less effective against mood symptoms, they noted.

    All antidepressants now carry black box warnings of suicidality risk, particularly in children and young adults, and especially early in treatment, but whether this risk differs between agents or by gender has been debated.

    Prior studies have looked only at emergence of suicidal thoughts in patients who reported none initially, which "highlights the relatively rare cases with de novo treatment-emergent suicidal ideation," Perroud's group said, but could be "'throwing the baby out with the bath water' through removing a large proportion of patients at risk."

    So they analyzed findings from the Genome-Based Therapeutic Drugs for Depression (GENDEP) trial, "the largest comparative study of an SSRI and tricyclic antidepressant," to look at both issues.

    The multicenter study included 811 adults with moderate to severe unipolar depression allocated to open-label, flexible dose escitalopram or nortriptyline for 12 weeks. Among them, 473 reported suicidal ideation at baseline.

    Overall, suicidal ideation dropped significantly over time in both treatment groups (P less than 0.0001).

    And although nortriptyline was associated with higher mean suicidal scores than escitalopram throughout treatment (P less than 0.0001), the difference disappeared after adjusting for baseline scores (P=0.449).

    Increases in suicidal ideation - defined as 0.5 standard deviation or greater score increase - were seen at some point in 31.9% of patients.

    Treatment group did not appear to have an impact on suicidal ideation changes during therapy in the overall cohort, but it did make a difference in men.

    Among men, the overall rate of increase in suicidal thoughts was 35.29% with nortriptyline compared with 23.7% with escitalopram. Even after adjustment for depression severity at baseline and during the study, the effect remained significant. - 30535

    Develop Powers Of Clairvoyance

    By Declan Dunn

    You have probably heard of clairvoyance a whole lot in psychic commercials and ads. But did you know that anyone can develop clairvoyance? Clairvoyance is an ability that everyone has, it is just a matter of whether or not one is willing to take the steps to develop it. It is like learning a new skill. It can be the same as trying to play the guitar. With practice, you will become very good at it.

    If you are new to the term clairvoyance, and have never heard of it before, then here is a basic definition for you: Clairvoyance is basically the quick intuitive knowledge of knowing things that are not visible to the eye or have not yet happened. It can be thought of as somewhat of a psychic ability.

    Would you like learn how to develop clairvoyance? In order to develop clairvoyance, you are going to have to first understand that this type of ability will make you a happier and much more peaceful person. When you possess clairvoyant abilities, you are much more creative and think a lot clearer than before. The benefits of being clairvoyant are nothing but positive, the only thing to look out for is absorbing bad energies.

    Developing clairvoyance makes you more receptive to energy both positive and negative, so you'll need to be careful about avoiding negative energy from people, places and things. While there's no way to stay away from these energies entirely, you need to use positive energy to dispel the negative. In fact, developing clairvoyance will make you better prepared to combat negative energies and the influence they can have.

    Try these methods to help you quickly develop clairvoyance:

    Rid yourself of negative possessions. If you have possessions in your home that bring you bad vibes or feelings, then get rid of them. Get everything out of your life that gives off bad or evil vibes to you. It could be the clothes of a dead relative or the hat of an old boyfriend. Whatever it is, as long as it makes you feel negative, you do not need it in your life. Have a bonfire for everything that you do not want in your life and home and allow that to cleanse you of your negativity.

    Meditation: Make meditation a part of your daily routine. Set aside at least half an hour every day to go somewhere quiet and clear your mind. You can even do this while taking a walk. The stresses of our lives cause a lot of stress and distraction; meditation can help us to decompress and think.

    Meditation is also a powerful stress reliever, so it can help clear all of the worries and irrelevant thoughts which can make it difficult to develop clairvoyance. Regular daily meditation will make you feel at peace and facilitate the development of psychic abilities, especially if practiced in conjunction with deep breathing.

    Learn to trust your feelings and your instincts: When you're in touch with these aspects of your personality, it will be much easier for you to develop clairvoyance. Let your instincts be your guide. If something feels like the right move, then it more than likely is the next step you need to take on the path to unlocking your psychic talents.

    You need to fight back against your doubts, especially self-doubt. Work on your self esteem and believe in yourself " when you trust your abilities and your instincts, clairvoyance will come to you naturally.

    Let go and let your feelings and instincts take you where they will. Children are often thought to be much more clairvoyant than adults are because of their no-worries and carefree attitudes. When they feel something is not right, they do not hold back, they express those feelings every time. We should all practice letting go of our rigid and negative personality traits and worries and just let go. You will be surprised at where your hunches and feelings will guide you.

    The important thing to realize is that you already possess clairvoyant and psychic powers. Many scientists believe that many years ago all humans possessed extra sensory powers, but these have for whatever reasons become repressed over the years. But these dormant esp powers can be reactivated with the right training and mindset.

    There are many things that can assist you to develop clairvoyance; regular affirmations and hypnosis sessions for example. These can be either with a trained therapist or self-hypnosis by listening to clairvoyance development audios. These can help you to communicate with your subconscious mind; once your subconscious mind realizes that it is okay for your dormant clairvoyant powers to be 'unlocked' you will soon start to notice a difference.

    It is also important to make sure that your chakra energy centers are regularly cleansed and balanced. The third eye chakra and crown chakra centers in particular are responsible for our intuitive and psychic powers. It is essential that you maintain the balance of these energy centers if you wish to develop clairvoyance.

    Any man, woman or child who wants to develop clairvoyance can do so. If you just begin to make the effort, your natural clairvoyance and other psychic abilities will bloom. If you'd like to see the benefits for yourself, all you need to do is start to banish negative energy from your life, cleanse your energy centers and learn to use meditation to relax. - 30535

    Parents Of Balloon Boy

    By Carlo Mueres

    This past week we saw the news media captivated by the idea that a 6-year-old boy, Falcon Heene had been carried off by a weather balloon. That is until the boy was later found in his own garage attic and shortly thereafter it was revealed on a television news show that the entire incident was likely a hoax. In replying to a reporter's question, the young Falcon turned to his dad on camera and said, "You guys said that, umm, we did this for the show." Oops.

    The parents - Richard Heene and Mayumi Heene - have all along claimed it was not a hoax or a publicity stunt. Now, according to The New York Times, the parents will voluntarily surrender to police as soon as charges are filed, which is expected to happen on Wednesday.

    While the truth continues to unfold, the police in the investigation have concluded it was likely indeed a publicity stunt: "We have evidence to indicate it was a publicity stunt done with the hope of marketing themselves to a reality-television show sometime in the future," said Larimer County sheriff Jim Alderden on Sunday afternoon at a news conference in Fort Collins, Colorado.

    So that leaves us with the inevitable question - what could possibly psychologically motivate parents to use their child's very life in order to further themselves?

    We see clues to the answer in some other information that's trickling out about the parents. ABC News noted that former business partner Barbara Slusser - who chased hurricanes and other storms with the Heenes - that they parted ways when Slusser felt that the Heenes often put their kids in harm's way. Slusser told ABC News, "The last straw for us was when Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike were heading toward the Texas coastline and Heene wanted to go back there and take the kids."

    So we seem to have a set of parents who already don't quite understand the idea of how to raise children in a safe, responsible and thoughtful manner, thinking nothing of storm-chasing hurricanes and tornadoes with their young children in tow. Storm-chasing, of course, can be a very dangerous and unpredictable endeavor. One of the reasons adults do it is for the thrill of the unpredictability of the storm - putting oneself in harm's way to experience a ferocious component of nature. But your children? They aren't old enough to make such decisions for themselves - they trust their parents' good judgment and experience.

    But an account on Gawker by someone who worked with Richard Heene sheds even more light on the Heenes' motivation - money and additional fame. This was a family that had been on the television program, Wife Swap, and they had already tasted celebrity. They wanted more of it. - 30535

    The Magic Of Lucid Dreams

    By Paul Benson

    You may not know about lucid dreams yet, but they are real and are an amazing experience. A lucid dream is a dream where you are conscious of the fact that you are dreaming; and best of all, you're in total control of your dream! You can take the reins and take your dream anywhere that you want to go.

    It's like having your own movie studio with an unlimited budget - anything you want to see or experience is within your power to make happen.

    Lucid dreams are noticeably different than the dreams you're used to having while you sleep; these regular dreams are guided by their own sort of logic and drift along without your input. By contrast, lucid dreams are under your control and seem real, regardless of how far out the events may be.

    One way to tell the difference between a regular dream and a lucid dream is to try picking up a book or newspaper in your dream. If you can read the words there and make sense of them, then this is almost certainly a lucid dream. In most dreams, you'd be unable to read the words on the page; they will either keep changing or be impossible to read at all.

    When youre lucid dreaming, anything you imagine is possible. You can live out any fantasy you have, meet anyone you want and go anywhere.

    Another thing which differentiates a lucid dream from ordinary ones is that if you want to change the outcome of an event in your dream, all you have to do is to think about it and it will happen! A lot of people find that lucid dreaming is beneficial to them in that they can think through things which have happened in their lives and think about the other ways the situation could have gone. This can help you come to terms with tragedy and misfortune.

    Lucid dreams are something which anyone can learn to do. While your body needs to rest to take care of essential biological functions like cellular repair, you can do so while a part of your mind remains conscious and active. This is what occurs in lucid dreaming.

    You will need to put in some practice in order to be able to have lucid dreams whenever you want. Anyone can learn, but it takes a little time, so stick with it and be patient.

    One of the best ways to start having lucid dreams is to work on remembering the details of your dreams. Keep a pad of paper and a pen or pencil near your bed so that you can write down everything you remember from your dreams as soon as you wake up. Eventually, you'll train your mind to recall dreams and to recognize dream states while you sleep. This will allow you to 'wake up' within your dream and begin lucid dreaming.

    There are some useful applications to lucid dreaming. Writers find that trying out their ideas in lucid dreams helps them to figure out characters, dialogue and plots for their work. It's a great medium for creative efforts.

    When you get into the habit of remembering your dreams, you'll be able to return to your dreams when you go back to sleep and start controlling their course.

    The best time to have lucid dreams is in the hour or two before you normally wake up. Often you may wake up at this time and go back to bed; while it might feel as if you've been lying awake thinking, you are usually lucid dreaming during this time.

    To get yourself to the mental state where lucid dreaming is possible, you can use relaxation and meditation techniques along with dream recall. A lot of people find that self hypnosis can help them train their minds for dream recall quickly and efficiently.

    There is also a technological development in the field of audio which helps you to achieve the state where lucid dreaming happens easily. Binaural beats are frequencies which synchronize the hemispheres of your brain and tune your brainwaves to the frequency needed for lucid dreams to happen. - 30535

    Secrets Of How To Instantly Astral Project

    By David Groomes

    Every one of us already has the ability to astral project. Many people astral project without being aware of it. However, it is learning to control the experience while astral projecting which is important and is what we will be discussing here.

    You probably already know about the astral body and the astral plane, so we'll jump right into techniques which can assist you in your efforts to learn how to astral project. Different people do better using different methods, so you'll probably want to try out a few until you hit on one which gets good results for you.

    One technique you can try when you're lying in bed before you sleep follows. There are five steps to follow in this technique.

    *First; relax your body completely, trying to achieve a state of deep relaxation throughout your body. While you're lying there, tense and then release all of your muscles, starting from your toes and working your way towards your head. You may start feeling very heavy; this is natural and indicates deep physical relaxation.

    *Second; Take slow, deep breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. When you exhale, do so slowly and visualize your stress and tension exiting your body with each breath. You'll need to stay focused during this step, since it's easy to fall asleep when you're this deeply relaxed.

    *Third; Concentrate on the feeling of your body's total relaxation. Think of it as a stone or a lump of earth; something which is heavy and immobile. Now refocus your attention to your astral body; think about how light it feels, weightless in fact. Close your eyes and visualize your astral body floating away on the breeze.

    *Fourth ; Right now, you may experience what many people do while practicing this technique; the sensation of seeing around in your darkened room, even with your eyes closed. The room will appear to be illuminated by a purple light. If you experience this, try to focus on the ceiling.

    *Fifth; Now, visualize pulling the light from the ceiling to your astral body. You should experience a sensation of floating. Remain conscious during this part. You might even see your physical body lying in bed if you were to look down.

    If you've made it this far successfully, you are astral projecting and can begin on your astral travels. If this method doesn't work for you, however, there is another technique which many find useful.

    This is called the gazing method and is used by many when learning how to astral project. It's a very simple method where you focus your complete attention on an object. This can be anything as long as its within your line of sight while you lie in bed.

    With this object in your line of sight, lie in bed and focus on it. Even as your eyes begin to feel heavy, continue to focus on the object, staring at it. Eventually you won't be able to keep your eyes open, but you should be able to see it even now with your eyes closed. You might feel like sitting or standing, so go ahead; but don't panic when you see your sleeping physical body lying in bed!

    If these techniques don't work for you right away, don't become discouraged. You may need to practice for a while before you can successfully astral project. Persistence is key.

    It's less important how you do it as that you are able to get the message to your subconscious mind that there's nothing to fear about astral projection and that it's perfectly fine for your astral body to leave the physical realm and travel. One good way to communicate with your subconscious is to repeat affirmations to yourself.

    Plenty of techniques can help you learn how to astral travel; you'll find the right one for you with a little practice and possibly some trial and error.

    Hypnosis, especially guided hypnosis works for many; having an expert there to explain everything and tell you exactly what you need to do can be extremely helpful.

    There are also new audio technologies which can help you to astral project. One particularly interesting one involves something called binaural beats. Different frequencies are played in each of the listener's ears, quickly producing the deeply relaxed state needed for astral projection.

    Learning how to astral project isn't actually that difficult. It's really just about practicing. This is an ability which every man and woman already possesses; it just takes a little work and a little patience to learn to do it at will. Just like being able to read, it's something you're born with the capacity to do; but you do need to practice to become expert in it. - 30535

    A Nervous Breakdown

    By Carlo Mueres

    A nervous breakdown refers to a mainstream and often-used term to generically describe someone who experiences a bout of mental illness that is so severe, it directly impacts their ability to function in everyday life. The specific mental illness can be anything - depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or something else. But the reference to a "nervous breakdown" usually refers to the fact that the person has basically stopped their daily routines - going to work, interacting with loved ones or friends, even just getting out of bed to eat or shower.

    A nervous breakdown can be seen as a sign that one's ability to cope with life or a mental illness has been overwhelmed by stress, life events, work or relationship issues. By disconnecting from their regular responsibilities and routines, an individual's nervous breakdown may allow them to try and regroup their coping skills and temporarily relieve the stress in their life.

    Someone with a nervous breakdown may be seen as having "checked out" from society temporarily. They no longer maintain their social relationships with others, and find it difficult or impossible to go to work and may call in sick multiple days in a row. People with a nervous breakdown often don't even have the coping resources available to take care of themselves, or do much more than rudimentary self-care and maintaining. They may over-eat (if it provides them comfort) or simply fail to eat altogether, not feeling the need or energy to do so.

    Since a nervous breakdown is not a clinical or scientific term, it's meaning can also vary in terms of its length and severity, as well as outcomes. Many people who suffer from a nervous breakdown usually seek out treatment (or have treatment sought out on their behalf by a loved one), and treatment is usually on the serious end of the spectrum of all the interventions available. Inpatient hospitalization for a serious nervous breakdown would not be unusual, to help a person become stabilized and find an effective treatment strategy for the mental disorder they're affected by.

    People who suffer from a nervous breakdown and seek out treatment for it will usually recover from the most extreme depths of the "breakdown" within a few weeks' time (which may be quickened with inpatient psychiatric treatment). Longer-term recovery usually takes months of ongoing outpatient treatment with mental health specialists, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist.

    A nervous breakdown is not a condition to be afraid of, as it is simply an indication of overhwelming stress and mental illness in a person's life. Loved ones and friends of someone who is suffering from a nervous breakdown should be supportive of the individual's efforts in seeking help for it. - 30535

    STOP Forfeiting Your Life To Anxiety And Panic Attacks! A Unique And Panic Disorder Treatment?

    By Jeff Hope

    When in the grips of a panic attack it may seem like your life is coming to an end. Although difficult for non panic attack sufferers to understand the pain of a full blown panic attack is all too real to those who suffer from panic disorder. Panic attacks can strike you anywhere and at any time and in seemingly safe environments. In this article I will alleviate some confusion as to the symptoms and an effective panic disorder treatment.

    I can remember times when I'm sitting at home getting ready for a social event when a panic attack strikes. It's such a confusing feeling because my emotions were so conflicted. The forces pulling you towards your engagement are often times over powered by fear and anxiety associated with attending the event.

    Conflicting emotions can be confusing. We've been looking forward to a social event with mild trepidation. There will be so many people there that we'd like to see such as family, friends, or a hot date. As the time draws near, we begin to feel the first sensations of a panic attack.

    It's happened before, it's time to leave and you can't step through that door. Panic and fear have gripped you and won't let you leave. You end up embarrassed and call with some lame excuse as to why you couldn't make it. Now you've missed the event and suffered yet another panic attack.

    If you've had a panic attack before then some of these symptoms will seem all too familiar. These include; excessive sweating, blurred vision, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling terror for no apparent reason, dizziness, and even fainting.

    So can I find an effective panic disorder treatment that will work for me? The answer is YES without a doubt! Of the many treatments available the most widely used are; drugs, psycho therapy, and self help treatment programs. Be aware that some of these have major side effects and are extremely expensive.

    Drug therapy can sometimes reduce the severity of your panic and anxiety if you find a drug that agrees with your body. Many time the side effects can be too much for users to bear. Also drug therapy requires an indefinite commitment to the drug which is pricey.

    Psychotherapy can help the panic attack sufferer learn effective coping mechanisms to deal with panic attacks and the times leading up to a panic attack. As with drug therapy, find a psychotherapist that works well with your personality can also be a frustrating, time consuming, and extremely expensive endeavor. Good psychotherapists can cost from $100 to over $300 per hour (session). So although progress can be made, it comes with a heavy price.

    The final and extremely effective panic disorder treatment is self help programs. Don't worry, with self help programs there's no group therapy sessions to add unnecessary anxiety to your life. With a little dedication and determination you can work through effective treatment programs in the comfort and security of your own home. Effective programs follow the exact same treatment procedures as you would follow in a psychotherapy session. - 30535

    Improving Your Memory - Easy Tips

    By Michelle Rudge

    Before you can improve your memory the first step is to learn how it works. For memory there is a process your brain goes through where it first acquires or registers incoming information, consolidates and sorts that information and at a later time you have that ability to recall the information that has been acquired and stored. This is a process of the brain and the nervous system working together, and it contains two kinds of information: knowledge and procedures. Below are just a few tips that you can easily employ to help improve your memory.

    The first, and easiest, way to improve your memory is to use it! I know that sounds oversimplified but your memory is just like a muscle, it gets more nimble and agile the more that you use it. Try thinking of every country that you've ever visited, or the names of all the children in your class when you were 12 years old. It's this flexing of your memory muscle that makes it stronger and improved.

    Something else that has been proven to enhance your memory is learning a new language. This exercises your brain by exposing it to new, unfamiliar words and sounds that your brain will be forced to absorb and retain. The sheer volume of information required in learning a new language will certainly help your brain exercises and improve your memory... not to mention how it will improve your communication skills.

    A short nap during the day has been shown to help improve memory too. At the onset of sleep, the brain begins processing and this boosts your memory. It can help you to be more relaxed throughout the day too, and this reduction in stress aides both your physical and mental health. And don't forget that exercise is good for your memory too. It stimulates more blood flow (and therefore more oxygen) to all parts of the body including the brain.

    These steps are very simple, but the are easily implemented into your life today. There are more advanced strategies for improving your memory and in the book 'Your Memory: How It Works And How To Improve It', the author Kenneth Higbee talks about how to use methods such as loci, link, peg and phonetic systems. Higbee also goes discusses the latest mnemonics use, aging and your memory. - 30535

    Developing Photographic Memory - And Unleashing Your Potential

    By Michelle Rudge

    Get a photographic memory and unleash the potential in your life - have you ever wondered what it is that makes some people so confident and intelligent and successful? I always thought it was because they were born with an intellect superior to my own and that I would just have to make do with my own limitations.

    I would look at all the successful people in my world and wonder what set them apart from me. In school there were the students who would ace exams but seemed to spend less than half the time studying than everyone else. The colleague who would confidently give a presentation with ease and accuracy. Those people who had great and valuable relationships. Those who would impress the boss by remembering his wife's name, the kids names AND their birthdays. Those who gave entertaining speeches with confidence, would remember to be in the right place at the right time, didn't waste their time searching for information they already knew.

    And the thing that sets these people apart, is their amazing ability to absorb large amounts of information and more importantly, to recall this information when they need it. It's not that they were necessarily more intelligent or more gifted. It's this photographic memory ability that sets the successful people apart.

    The practice of developing your photographic memory strengthens the neural pathways in your brain, opening up long unused portions of your brain that need to be exercised again in order to 'fire' up and increase the overall brain activity. It is this daily exercise of the brain that brings about all these benefits to all areas of your life: * Fantastic reading speed - over 25,000+ words per minute! * Increase your peripheral vision and awareness * Dramatically improved concentration and focus * Become much more organized and effective * Increased comprehension from your reading. This will allow you to learn so much faster and get down to the business of enjoying life. But this does require exercise.

    It was when I realized this that I started to work on my photographic memory techniques. Apparently we are all born with a photographic memory, but we lose it's ability at about the time we go to school (the same time we learn to read!). But there are now courses that you can do to help you develop this photographic memory again and begin to unleash the potential in your own life. - 30535

    How To Easily Persuade And Influence Others To Do Exactly As You Wish

    By George Hutton

    If you've ever been in conversation with somebody, and you wanted them to do something, or feel something, or think something, then this article is for you. Here I'll show you some easy steps that you can take to easily and quickly influence others to your way of thinking. These ways are very powerful, and have been used by some of top salespeople, politicians and persuaders throughout human history.

    The first and most important aspect is to develop rapport. Rapport is an often misunderstood concept. Basically it means you develop a strong sense of familiarity with whoever you are speaking with. They start to feel like they really know you, that you share a lot in common with them. Once you establish rapport, you are ready to move on to the next step.

    Next is to elicit criteria. Criteria are things that they think are important about something. Like if they are buying a TV, it may be important to them that it be a particular dimension.

    The more vague their criteria are, the easier it will be to leverage them. For example, if you are a car salesman, and all you have are blue cars, and they want a red one, this can be difficult.

    If their criteria are fuzzy, then it's much easier to persuade them. Vague words like, happiness, security, entertainment, pleasure are much easier to fulfill than a specific brand and model number.

    When you have a few vague words that are important to them, you are ready to go to work. Just convince them that by doing what you want them to do, they will fulfill all or part of their criteria.

    This is best done covertly, or in a roundabout way. The best way is to let them come to the conclusion themselves.

    So, for example, if they say they want happiness, you can tell them a story about a previous client, that became really happy after buying your product or taking your advice.

    The more criteria words you get, the better. And the longer you spread out the conversation, the better. Just take your time, there's no rush.

    This is best done over a long conversation. Get some criteria, talk about something else, get some more criteria. Tell a story about somebody with the same criteria that had it met through your product, talk about something else, do it again. You get the idea.

    This is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and the more you practice, the better you'll get. By the time you finish talking to them, they'll be virtually on their knees begging to do what you want them to.

    The only caveat is to be careful and make sure they won't do or buy anything that they will later regret. This will destroy your credibility, and bring some bad karma your way. When you do this with a win/win mindset, you will make a lot of people really happy. - 30535

    Selling Your CV. Marketing Yourself To Potential Employers

    By Glenn Hughes

    Having a professional CV is not in itself enough to get you the job you need. Clearly it is no good to anyone if you have the best CV in the world and nobody knows about you. If you are starting the job hunting process, perhaps if you have just been made redundant, this brief article is for you

    Your CV is a selling document so the principles of good selling practice apply equally. Remember the old lesson about features and benefits? Bland facts in your CV won't sell you, achievements will see the befit to that organisation of employing you. The employer needs to see the benefit to themselves of employing you- show that through your achievements

    Many people simply do not know that CV distribution services companies exist. They certainly do, and more importantly, some of them work extremely effectively. We have looked at the majority of them and found CV Trumpet to be the most effective company that operates this service. They can get your CV in to the right hands very quickly- very useful if you are just starting the job hunting process. Go to our website and look up the section on CV distribution

    If you want to target companies to work for from within a particular industry, it may be worth you considering the purchase of company information. Many businesses use this method to gain new customers and you may find it useful to target sector specific businesses. Kompass is the largest of this sort of business but a quick internet search for business mailing lists may prove helpful to you

    Focusing your cover letter on your personal achievements can lift you to the top of the pile. Include a cover letter with all speculative and specific job applications. Lazy people will tend to just include their CV- make your application stand out

    Spelling a persons name correctly is an often overlooked but very essential part of the process of marketing your CV. Making a phone call to the personnel department to find out the correct name, address and job title of the person responsible for recruiting is an old fashioned but very necessary courtesy. HR departments are usually small places, people talk to each other all the time and your diligence and courtesy will not go unnoticed

    The most powerful source of recommendation that exists is that of word of mouth. Let every one of your Friends and family know that you are looking for work. Harness the power of online social networking sites like Facebook and Lindedin. You really do not now how powerful that this can be until you put some sustained effort into this. Most people are only too glad to help you out. They need though to know that you are looking for work- tell them! - 30535

    What Makes A Good CV Service?

    By Glenn Hughes

    Once you have made the decision to get your CV made over, there is a fairly bewildering range of choices available to you. This short article is designed to give you some options to choose the very best option for you. In the end, the decision you make now is likely to effect your whole career so choose wisely

    There are many alternatives available to you. You could do it yourself or you could use one of many CV services available in the UK. Some are clearly better than others and the purpose of this small guide is to help you choose a path

    In business as in life, you really do get what you pay for. A cheap, mass produced service can never make you stand out from the crowd in the same way that an excellent professional service can. Whilst having the price advantage will always generate some business, in the end, it's just not that good for you. In todays mightily competitive job market, you need all the advantages that you can get. Unless you're in a big hurry with a very small budget, leave well alone

    Somewhere in the middle is the recruitment company or individual that has contacts in HR or who has recently lost their job in HR and is looking to supplement their redundancy before going back into full time work. Whilst these sort of services can offer a decent enough product at the end, they are not professional CV writing services and therefore you lose out on the continuity that you might get from using a more professional service. They are, again, of use to someone on a budget that wants a bit more than a cheap word processing service

    At the top end are the professional CV writing services. There are several good ones in the UK and I will be pleased to email anyone reading this article with the names of a few that will be able to help you. We would genuinely rather you use a service that you are happy with than leave you with a bad impression of a service that didn't meet your expectations

    If you do end up opting for a professional CV writing service, I would ask that you ask them about their track record. How many CVs have they actually written, what is their success rate? This is really important- track record is everything in this business, and you must be looking at a success rate of over 90% to get the very best value for you

    Guarantees are sometimes not worth the paper that they are written on. This is no different when talking about a CV than when buying a television. What does stand comparison though is that some companies won't guarantee their work- if they won't, why not. Give some brownie points to the companies that offer you a guarantee- they are taking the risk so let them

    One other thing to look out for- some professional CV writing companies sub contract the writing of the CV to self employed consultants- these people whilst generally doing a decent job are paid poorly and therefor can't have the level of motivation necessary to do a great job for you. Ask the company you're thinking of dealing with to write your CV if they sub contract- you might be surprised at the answer - 30535
