Een ander probleem is dat ze niemand kent die ook maar iets weet over Bovennatuurlijke krachten. Haar moeder is zelfs gewelddadig tegen het Bovennatuurlijke, net zoals haar moeder voor haar.

Megans Schulausflug (Die Megan-Serie #3)
by Owen Jones Christine WilhelmMegans Schulausflug Megan ist eine 13-jährige Teenager-Mädchen, die erkennt, dass sie psychische Kräfte hat, die andere nicht haben. Zuerst versuchte sie, mit ihrer Mutter über sie zu sprechen, aber mit verheerenden Folgen, also lernte sie, über sie Stillschweigen zu bewahren. Einige Leute haben jedoch Hilfe angeboten und ein Tier zeigte eine besondere Freundschaft, aber sie waren nicht im normalen Sinne des Wortes "lebendig". Sie waren gegangen. Megan hat drei solche Freunde: Wacinhinsha, ihr Geistführer, der in seinem letzten Leben auf der Erde Sioux gewesen war; ihr Großvater mütterlicherseits, Gramps und ein großer sibirischer Tiger namens Grrr. Wacinhinsha ist äußerst sachkundig in allen spirituellen, psychischen und paranormalen Dingen; Ihr Großvater ist ein "toter Mensch" und Grrr kann nur Tiger sprechen, wie man sich vorstellen kann, und das meiste davon ist für den Menschen natürlich unverständlich. In dieser Episode in Megans Leben werden sie und die anderen Schüler ihres Schuljahres auf einen Schulausflug genommen. Dies sollten jährliche Veranstaltungen sein, aber die Schule hat nicht immer das Geld, um sie zu finanzieren. Diese entpuppt sich als Ausnahme für Megan, als sie einen Blick in das Leben von Menschen wirft, die in einer längst vergangenen Zeit gelebt haben.

by Owen JonesMegans skolprov En andeguide, en spöktiger och en skrämmande mamma! Megan är en trettonårig tonårsflicka som upptäcker och inser att hon har psykiska krafter som andra inte har. Först försökte hon prata med sin mamma om dem, men med katastrofala konsekvenser, så hon lärde sig att hålla tyst om dem. Vissa erbjuder dock sin hjälp och ett djur visade en speciell vänskap, men de levde inte i ordets rätta mening. De hade ju avlidit. Megan har tre sådana vänner: Wacinhinsha, hennes andliga guid, som hade varit Sioux i sitt senaste liv på jorden; hennes farfar, Gramps och en enorm sibirisk tiger som heter Grrr. Wacinhinsha är extremt kunnig i allt andligt, psykiskt och paranormalt. Hennes farfar är en nybörjare '' död person '' och Grrr kan bara prata Tiger, som man kan förstå och det mesta är naturligtvis obegripligt för människor. I 'Megans skolprov' är Megan oroad över sina prov eftersom de är de första riktiga prov som hon någonsin gjort. Hon oroar sig bokstavligen sjuk, men Wacinhinsha, hennes andliga Guid, ger henne ett pep-talk och får Megan att klara sig igenom detta..

I det här avsnittet i Megans liv tas hon och resten av eleverna i hennes årskull i skolan på en skolutflykt. Det borde vara ett årligt evenemang, men skolan har inte alltid råd att finansiera dem. Den här visar sig vara exceptionell för Megan när hon får en inblick i livet för människor som levde i en tid för mycket länge sedan. Följ Megan när hon försöker lära sig mer av sin skolutflykt till det förflutna och läs råden som hennes Andeguide ger henne om hur man bäst kan göra detta.
Meisner and Mindfulness: Authentic and Truthful Solutions for the Challenges of Modern Acting
by Royce SparksMeisner and Mindfulness: Authentic and Truthful Solutions for the Challenges of Modern Acting is the first book that reveals how Meisner and mindfulness can be united to create strong results for actors and help them navigate the challenges of the digital age. The twenty-first century has created an entirely new set of demands and pressures on the working actor, including an acceleration of the digital age and the complications of COVID-19, which have led to auditions, rehearsals, and even whole performances happening entirely in isolation. This book combines a modern rethinking of the Meisner technique with a complementary set of tools from mindfulness meditation to offer profound solutions to these growing challenges, addressing the demands of a post-coronavirus industry as well as the pressures of acting in the digital era. In this ground-breaking expansion of the technique, readers will discover how it is possible to train some of the deepest values of living truthfully under a given set of circumstances, both with other actors and whilst alone. Since the 1950s the Meisner technique has aided the actor in navigating the demands unique to their time. This book is a powerful reminder that, even in the midst of so many changes and challenges, the truthfulness that has defined outstanding performances across generations is still within reach. Full of easily accessible mindfulness and Meisner exercises and principles for practice-based support, Meisner and Mindfulness will be illuminating to working actors, directors, students and instructors of acting, and practitioners of the Meisner technique looking to develop the authenticity, immediateness, and closeness essential to great acting. The book also includes access to an online supplement featuring additional exercises and concepts, including new ways to incorporate Meisner exercises into training sessions, suggestions for how Meisner-oriented companies can use exercises such as repetition in rehearsals, and discussions for how to set up a facilitated Meisner group.

Mejor que nunca: Aprende a dominar los hábitos de la vida cotidiana
by Gretchen RubinAprende a dominar los hábitos de la vida cotidiana De la autora de The Happiness project, best seller #1 del New York Times. Si los hábitos son la clave para cambiar, lo que necesitamos saber es: ¿Cómo cambiar nuestros hábitos? Mejor que nunca brinda una guía concreta para entender tus hábitos y cambiar para siempre. Con un tono humorístico, sin dejar de ser convincente, una investigación rigurosa, y testimonios de vidas transformadas, este libro explica los principios básicos para la formación de hábitos. ¿Por qué me resulta difícil crear un hábito de algo que me gusta hacer? ¿Por qué a veces puedo cambiar un hábito de un día para otro, y a veces no puedo cambiarlo, no importa cuánto lo intente? ¿Qué tan rápido puedo cambiar un hábito? ¿Cómo me aseguro de integrar en mí un nuevo hábito? ¿Cómo puedo ayudar a alguien más a cambiar un hábito? ¿Por qué puedo mantener los hábitos que benefician a otros, pero no los que son para mí? Si quieres dormir más, mantener un peso saludable, dejar de fumar o terminar un proyecto importante, los hábitos hacen que el cambio sea posible. Con sólo leer unos capítulos de este libro excepcional, querrás empezar a trabajar en tus propios hábitos y transformar tu vida positivamente. English Description: The author of the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, tackles the critical question: How do we change? Gretchen Rubin's answer: through habits. Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life. It takes work to make a habit, but once that habit is set, we can harness the energy of habits to build happier, stronger, more productive lives. So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits? Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits--and to change them for good. Infused with Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, Better than Before explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation. Along the way, Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readers' most pressing questions--oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore: * Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something I love to do? * Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I can't change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why? * How quickly can I change a habit? * What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit? * How can I help someone else change a habit? * Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but can't make habits that are just for me? Whether readers want to get more sleep, stop checking their devices, maintain a healthy weight, or finish an important project, habits make change possible. Reading just a few chapters of Better Than Before will make readers eager to start work on their own habits--even before they've finished the book.
