A healthy dose of clarity in this consciousness journey for the young at heart. Two facing pages have write-in areas: Things I understand and Things I Do Not Understand Too Well Yet.Captain Jutta is a navigator who charts our living miracle of beauty and love: The mind and cosmic energy. The organ called the brain. The brain waves. Breathing exercises. Energy exercises. Rapid eye movement exercises. Jumper cables and spiritual Roto-Rooter. Captain Jutta "noticed how his breathing changed when he was in different brain wave states. He noticed how he could use his imagination to help him learn. He noticed how he could control his pain and regulate his body while be was in alpha with high amplitude." Jutta, by the way, is a word that means Jack Up To The Aletheia: Truth. Quite a few exercises here to get the young at heart started in the right way, important exercises about breathing. "Inhale deeply and slowly for a count of 8 seconds. Hold the air for 8 seconds. Exhale slowly and evenly for 8 seconds. Then hold out for 4 seconds. 8..8..8..4" Captain Jutta has an amusing way of getting his point across. Nearly a full page is taken up with practice practice practice practice... Exercises in imagination: "Setup a horizon in your imagination. Some people actually see pictures or little movies when they imagine. others sense what is happening but they do not really see it as if they were watching a video or movie." A glossary of terms. Illustrations, That take us into the wacky way we have of doing things and the straight forward way we can learn to operate. Published for maximum effectiveness as a workbook, where, page by page the student learns how to participate in learning itself. The authors know their stuff. Ingram has worked with children in elementary schools for 40 years; Schwarz is a legend in self-health education.

All the Light We Cannot See
Author: Anthony Doerr
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476746605
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Author: Rush Limbaugh
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476789924
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
It’s the dawn of an important new day in America. Young readers, grab the reins and join Rush Revere, Liberty the horse, and the whole time-traveling crew in this patriotic historical adventure that takes you on an exciting trip to the past to see our remarkable nation’s most iconic symbols up close and personal! “Rush Revere here, along with my chatty horse, Liberty! Wait a minute...Liberty? Where did he go?” “Reporting for duty, Captain Revere!” “Liberty, where did you get that spinach smoothie?” *Slurp* Well, he certainly didn’t get it from 1787—that’s where we’re rush, rush, rushing off to next with our enthusiastic young friends in the Time-Traveling Crew (but not before causing a major security incident at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.!) A funny case of mistaken identity and a wild chase through the busy streets of Philadelphia will lead us to the famously introverted Father of our Constitution, James Madison, and the heated secret debates over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Fast-forward a few years, and we’ll help his brave wife, Dolley, risk her life to save an important portrait from the White House as the British set Washington afire! What greater symbol of our exceptional nation’s hard-won freedoms than the Star-Spangled Banner, sewn by American icon Betsy Ross? Perhaps Francis Scott Key can explain what inspired him to pay tribute to our glorious flag by writing our beautiful national anthem. But watch out for the bombs bursting in air, because when we reach 1814, we’ll be front and center at a major battle to defend our liberty. Jump back in the saddle with me, Rush Revere, and the Time-Traveling Crew, as my trusty horse, Liberty, takes us on another flying leap through American history into a past teeming with heroes and extraordinary citizens who have so much to teach us about patriotism. All you need to bring is your curiosity about the birth of our democracy—I’ve got plenty of tricornered hats for everyone!
