The term refers to children who ostensibly have extraordinary and supernatural abilities. Scientifically it is not proven that those children have any abilities. The term appeared in the 1970s. The idea was developed by Nancy Ann Tappe, Jan Tobber and Lee Carroll. “The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration” (Lee Carroll & Jan Tober).

Transcendental Meditation and David Lynch

Do you like David Lynch? Do you appreciate his surreal visual style? I do. David Lynch is my favorite filmmaker of today. I watched Blue Velvet when I was 11-years-old. Actually I didn’t understand much about the storyline, some things were too strange to me. Anyway I was captivated by the movie. The cast, the music, the style are surpassing. Later I watched all his movies. And I’m among those who admire everything Lynch creates.

 

Intuition – the Way to Yourself

Everybody has a powerful life guide which can help them to avoid obstacles and find the best solutions of the problems. The name of this guide is intuition, or the sixth feeling, which presents our connection with the inner world of our emotions, sub conscience and cognitive feelings. However, some of us do not know how to use the power of intuition for their benefit, the others even doubt whether they have the talent of intuition at all. The fact is, we all have a connection with our second, more perceiving self, though sometimes this connection should be strengthened by using pretty simple techniques.

First of all, you should learn how to trust yourself. Your intuition works even if you do not believe in it and you should accept the fact of its existence in order to make its voice heard. Note, that the first thought or even a hint of the thought which came to your mind is an intuitive one, as the intuition is always the first to react.
