Erik, she said, for every ten kids we see with this injury, nine of them die. There is only one Kate. We need to come back and we need to see her, because she is what keeps us coming back to work in this place every day. This is the …

However, if something does arise, you'll have the framework and tools to deal with it calmly and confidently, working like a team to bring baby into the world calmly and in the best way possible. I should also mention that if you're planning a home birth, birth partners you'll also …

You will have to actively birth it. I don't know why, but I imagined it would be jelly-like in texture and sort of flop out. I can confirm, having now seen many placentas, including my own, that this is not the case. It's actually quite chunky and firm. If you …

Or perhaps you have gone straight to your local maternity hospital and arranged a articleing appointment directly. Either way, it's important to realise that you are not limited to your nearest hospital. You can in fact shop around' and, if you want a hospital or birth-centre birth, choose the one …

Sometimes I repeat it over and over. When I do, I can feel into the idea that sitting through the discomfort is actually not so bad. In fact, over time I've come to find it far more charming than the tiring, small human' process of fleeing. <a href='http://pnsegypt …

She used every opportunity to tell Abigail how stupid and worthless she was. Depressed and beaten down after years of abuse, Abigail found it hard to hold down a job. Without a job, she had no hope of gaining her independence. Abigail told me that her grandmother was a churchgoing …

She's filled with a level of awe that allows her to constantly expand her awareness and imagination for what's possible in this little corner of our world. I'd never met anyone like her before, and I still don't think I've met anyone who can match this ability of hers. It …

Everything's pulsing. This is as true of individual cells as it is of large vertebrate mammals. True stillness and immobility only enter our bodies when we die. The posture of meditation is able to reconcile this apparent contradiction between stillness and motion through adding the element of resilience to the …

Take turns to speak and practise active listening. This demonstrates respect and builds trust. Feeling heard is vital to reducing fears and anxiety. Look for small ways to be more social, like saying hello and engaging in eye contact (when culturally appropriate) and asking questions about the other person. Nurture …

aka implicit bias This kind of theory has helped me to understand why I was beaten and harassed all throughout my school years. I didn't fit gender norms, and therefore I couldn't be safely categorized (decades later, I still can't seem to categorize my gender identity myself). Faced with someone …

Getting the measure of social pain How does rejection make you feel? Whether experienced directly in person or online, social rejection triggers a massive threat response in the brain, as demonstrated by neuroscientists Eisenberger and Lieberman in their classic Cyberball experiment using fMRI to examine the impact of social exclusion …

If you've ever found yourself desperate for inspiration or struggling to stay on task, nature can help. Working in front of a computer screen for any length of time quickly exhausts the brain, increasing stress and contributing to a sense of time passing too quickly. This is where taking a …

What role does music play in your life? Are you a not-so-secret singer in the shower, an air guitar player extraordinaire or someone who likes to sing along to all your favourite songs safe in the soundproof vault of your car? Which feel-good tracks do you choose to sand blast …

They are examples of the practice acting as a nice, clean mirror in which we can see the result of our deep conditioning. Seeing more clearly, we can pause, unblend, and get curious about the drama unfolding before our closed eyes. If we can put some daylight between us and …

But as Whitman said, we're not just one thing: We're multitudes. Recent research confirms this observation. Scholars of core constructs originally thought that each of us has an innate slate of traits--we're introverted or extroverted, passive or assertive, open or closed. But thinking on this topic has evolved over time …

Whatever the cause of the lifequake, the first aftershock is that the devastation can feel deadly in its impact, which appears to be a backhanded way to help us find a new way to live. An Autobiographical Occasion I believe it was Helena Rubinstein that said, There are no ugly …

Slow down and enjoy the process. Set goals for a season and plan on making sure it'll be an abundant harvest. Look ahead and plan ahead so you can offset the stress that comes from unreasonable expectations of yourself. But, like all of us, Mike learned even more about athlete …

This is something that doesn't sneak up on you if you're aware of your body, but we've all been there--on the side of the court (or trail), panting and waiting to recover. Long-distance runners, swimmers, soccer players, and pretty much all elite athletes know that the key to avoiding getting …

I had a daily battle with myself and I forced myself to eat healthy snacks that I didn't enjoy. If I did succumb to my chocolate craving I would feel very guilty and often have a blow out that evening. If I feel like cheesecake, I will go to a …

To make a living, you had to spend a lot of time on the road, he said, which put stress on his family. One day he took a load to Georgia. I had already told the company, I need to be home for my daughter's birthday this weekend. <a href …

Novices in some of the reviewed studies would qualify as experts in others. Without clear agreement about how to define and/or classify expertise objectively in sport, the future of the field is bleak because a question mark hangs over the validity and generalizability of research findings on expert novice …

They are not top down; They reflect, I believe, the truth about how people are actually responding to this period of unprecedented change. Which brings me to my moon shot dream, the ultimate cultural windmill I'd like to tilt against. I'd like to redefine what life transitions mean. As long …

Siobhan: Alex, like other children and teenagers, did not have the words to describe his thoughts and feelings, or his perceptions of his internal and external world. His play brought him to a deeper level than his verbal skills would allow. Play enables complex thoughts, feelings, ideas and perceptions to …

For example: I'm worried about Alex, it's scary seeing him so anxious, we're doing what we need to do for him and for us. <a href='https://images.google.fi/url?q=https://stutterfree.co.uk'>No</a> feeling lasts forever, we'll get through this. <a href='https://images.google …

With Dad it was less of a question of how he died than how he stayed alive for so long. When we are babies our world is tiny. We eat, drink, piss and shit. A few faces appear, and these faces do things to us. When we are uncomfortable we …

Sure enough, the subjects reacted as if they didn't know how to read English. The Stroop test and a brain scan verified the magic (science) of the subconscious brain. And if the suggestions of not being able to read English could stick for days in these subjects' brains, imagine how …

This method is one I used frequently when I later became a doctor, and it proved effective every time. I often share it with middle-aged and elderly friends who suffer from myocardial ischemia and palpitations. They generally feel more vigorous and experience a complete change if they persevere with this …

So while certain memories or images (eg, 9/11, that cat you fear) are etched deeply, others are discarded. Remember: the brain is sorting, and it's giving priority to the things it thinks could hurt you. Your subconscious brain is so powerful that, if you learn to harness this unique …

The reality is we all have bad days, days when things don't go right, where that deal falls over, the client becomes challenging, the staff member storms out of the meeting. It's okay to sit in a bad day for a short time -- to use it as a moment to …

This is certainly the case with games like John's, too. Dyson says, and Papert confirms, that to get kids to become interested in an academic subject on their own, they have to play. Building with LEGOs, visiting museums, experimenting with tools. Says Dyson, Mathematics ought to be entertainment. In considering …

Every time a parent says something, does something or reacts to something, their child is observing and learning from their behaviour. Just like me, you must often experience these copycat mini you' moments of your children mimicking you in some little way. <a href='http://linker.worldcat.org/?jHome=http …

Enraged, the lion said, Are there any places in this world I can't reach? It's that side of the mountain, isn't it? Take your time, then. I'll go there myself. Very soon, the lion came to a bottomless cliff several dozen meters wide. Across the cliff was the beautiful grassland …

I explained how learning to operate one's mind was exactly like learning to drive a finely tuned sports car. Most people were used to driving a car that shifted automatically, but learning how to change the gears of your attention gave you access to its true capacity. Maria threw her …
