Your Memory - How Can You Improve Your Memory Today

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.

It's going to sound crazy to say it... but the best way to improve your memory, is by using it regularly. What I mean by this is doing things like trying to remember things you haven't thought of in a long time, or to think differently to your 'everyday thinking'. And example might be to think of the make or model of every car you've ever owned, or to think of every animal that begins with the letter 'P'. This flexing of your memory helps to make it more nimble and agile, just a like a muscle that gets stronger the more you use it.

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 are just a few simple ways that you can improve your memory starting from right now. There are also more advanced methods that you can use to improve your memory. Kenneth Higbee's book 'Your Memory: How It Works And How To Improve It' uses techniques like: Link, Loci, Peg, and Phonetic systems which can be incorporated into your everyday life. He also teaches on aging and memory and the latest information on the use of mnemonics, - 31521

Depression And How To Deal With It

By John James

The natural ways to treat depression are much for less than prescription drugs and are also considered to be efficient. These include practice, meditation, sleep, NLP and hypnosis in addition as having a balanced diet.

Exercise is one of the good ways to treat depression because it acts as a mood booster and is believed to be better than prescription medications in preventing the recurrence of mild to moderate depression.

These natural ways to treat depression are more preferent by numerous over prescription drugs because antidepressants and sleeping tablets may be addictive and can result to further and added problems. But if the sick person is already taking prescription antidepressants, you have to check with your physician whether or not any of these substitute treatments are going to be good for your case.

Since stress assists trigger depression, you should likewise learn to manage stress efficaciously and stay clear from taking illegal drugs or those that were not prescribed by your doctor to keep out of the way of substance abuse.

In a lot of cases, supportive care that involves counseling sessions with your doctor is likewise as helpful as prescription antidepressants. It would likewise support a lot if you get assist from family in addition as from other individuals having this disorder. Other treatment being considered is the combination of behavioral, cognitive and interpersonal therapy.

You see, I thought it was my problem and that I would deal with it in my own way. But that didn't work out the way I planned. Because, I noticed I was angry all of the time. I was short with my children and I similarly was short with my wife as well.

I tried treating my depression with "natural alternatives". I tried to get my serotonin levels, higher of course, because that would pull me out of the depression. But again, things did not work out that way.

So I gave in and went to the doctor. I told them my troubles and they put me on a drug for anxiety and depression since they both beauteous much go hand-in-hand.

Men may experience a loss of sexual drive and this only adds to their sensations of worthlessness. They see this as a failure and an indication of their manhood. This could not be any farther from the truth. It is a medical condition that is caused from their depression.

Depression is a medical condition that needs to be treated. It's not a sign of weakness and ought not be considered a woman's sickness.

What causes depression is an imbalance of serotonin, a hormone, in the brain. It has been linked as a major contributor and a cause for someone deciding to kill themselves.

The number of persons who are downhearted and die from suicide is roughly fifth-teen percent. Men are four times as likely as women to die from an attempted self-killing, altho women try it more often times but with failure. The elderly have the highest rate of successful suicides with sixty four dieing from suicide for everybody hundred thousand who die in general. The amounts of recorded suicides in the world have been steadily increasing for years now, along with the quantity of persons diagnosed with depression.

Whether or not you or someone you recognise is suicidal you ought to seek professional assist for them. If what the age or gender, it's not a healthy train of thought in the least. Whether or not see it as an try for attention and that they won't undertake. - 31521

Dementia Managing

By Robert Sanders

Part of the problem in finding drugs which may be effective for dementia is that our ideas about what constitutes dementia have been undergoing radical change in recent years. It had been traditional to distinguish between Alzheimer's dementia, or senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type (SDAT) and multi-infarct dementia (MID), which is theoretically caused by small strokes which insidiously pick off brain tissue to the point where an individual's cognitive function is compromised.

It was originally thought that MID accounted for 60%+ of the dementias. Accordingly, early attempts to treat the dementias concentrated on the multi-infarct dementias. The initial hypothesis was that these multiple small strokes were being caused by a process of hardening of the arteries, sometimes called arteriosclerosis and sometimes atherosclerosis (although these terms refer to two quite different disorders) which impaired blood supply to the brain. The logical treatment, therefore, for this condition was to attempt to dilate blood vessels. This led to the use of a wide number of vasodilating drugs such as hydralazine.

It is quite rare now for such drugs to be used for this purpose. Arguably, if anything, such treatment may have made the condition somewhat worse in that a potential effect of vasodilators is the reduction of blood pressure and reducing blood pressure would mean that the brain would be less perfused with blood, as one of the functions of blood pressure in the first instance is to provide the propulsive force to send blood up against the force of gravity to perfuse the brain.

Stage 2

More recent attempts to treat the dementias have proceeded on the basis that Alzheimer's dementia is the commonest form of dementia. For many years, the term Alzheimer's dementia was reserved for dementias that came on before the age of 65 (for this reason it was also called persenile dementia), which were not obviously caused by strokes. It was conceded that there was another dementia that was like Alzheimer's dementia, which appeared to come on after the age of 65 but this was thought to be less common. Distinctions on the basis of age have now collapsed and both dementias of the Alzheimer type are now called senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. The amalgamation of these two groups led to an awareness that Alzheimer's-type dementia is the commonest form. The primary therapeutic focus in the field, therefore, has been on an attempt to reverse the deficits which are supposed to be present in SDAT.

In particular, it has been held that in Alzheimer's, there is a dysfunction of cholinergic pathways in the brain, for which there are both historical and clinical reason. Historically, when early work in psychopharmacology began, there were only four known neurotransmitters - noradrenaline, 5-HT, dopamine and acetylcholine (ACh). Noradrenaline quickly became the neurotransmitter involved in depression and mood disorders. Dopamine was known to be involved in Parkinson's disease, and, when it became clear that neuroleptics acted on it, schizophrenia, after which the psychoses in general came to be seen as disorders of dopamine neurotransmission. For the most part, 5-HT was associated with either depression or anxiety. This left ACh without a function. It seemed convenient to parcel it out to the dementias.

There was, in addition, some clinical evidence in favour of an association between the cholinergic system and dementia. Part of the reason for this claim can be seen in a number of the chapters of this blog, in which drugs with anticholinergic effects have been noted as potentially causing amnesia or confusion (see The Management of Side Effects & Side Effects of Antidepressants articles).

Stage 3

In the last 5 years, a number of other dementias have been described. A distinction has been drawn between cortical and subcortical dementias. The cortex of the brain is the area responsible for higher cognitive functions, such as speaking, reading, planning and executing actions, etc In the cortical dementias, memory is usually the function most noticeably affected but those who are affected also have problems with planning even simple functions such as dressing and they typically cannot read, draw or execute any complex tasks. Alzheimer's and MID are cortical dementias. There are also subcortical parts to the brain which are common to humans and other mammals. They involve a number of what are termed midbrain and brainstem structures. - 31521

Boost The Body And The Mind With Green Spaces

By Carlo Mueres

The closer you live to nature, the healthier you're likely to be.

For instance, people who live within 1 kilometer of a park or wooded area experience less anxiety and depression, Dutch researchers report.

The findings put concrete numbers on a concept that many health experts had assumed to be true.

"It's nice to see that it shows that, that the closer humans are to the natural environment, that seems to have a healthy influence," said Dr. David Rakel, director of integrative medicine and assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

One previous study had noted fewer health inequalities between rich and poor people in areas with lots of green space, and other studies have echoed these health benefits. But much of this research had relied on people's perceptions of their physical and mental health.

This new objective look at the matter involved scouring medical records of 345,143 people in Holland, assessing health status for 24 conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological diseases. This information was then correlated with how much green space was located within 1 kilometer and 3 kilometers of a person's postal code.

People living in more urban environments had a higher prevalence of 15 of the 24 conditions, with the relationship strongest for anxiety disorder and depression.

In areas with only 10 percent of green space, about 2.6 percent of people experienced anxiety disorders, compared to 1.8 percent of people in areas with 90 percent green space. The disparity was evident for depression as well - 3.2 percent of people living in more urbanized areas had depression versus 2.4 percent of those in more rural areas.

The health benefits were evident only when the green acres were within a kilometer, not at the 3 kilometer perimeter, except for anxiety disorders, gastrointestinal digestive disorders and so-called medically unexplained physical symptoms, the researchers said.

Children and poor people suffered disproportionately from lack of green acres, the researchers found.

The study findings were published online Thursday in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Any number of factors could account for the benefits of green space, experts said.

More natural sunlight, for instance, has been linked with a lower incidence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and other benefits.

"If patients in hospitals have direct exposure to sunlight through a window or natural sunlight, hospital stays are shorter and patients have less complications," Rakel said. "That's been well-established.

More light also means more vitamin D in the skin, which has been found to elevate mood and improve muscle strength, he added.

And fresh air, obviously, has a benefit as well, as do the exercise opportunities that come with more open space.

But much of the relief may come from the simple ability to de-stress.

"If we're in a busy street with more technology and artificial things, we're going to be multi-tasking more, which prevents us from focusing on one thing," Rakel said. "In this day and age, we really need some sort of centering practice. We need to get our mind out of its own stories and focus on something that's pure. Nature is a beautiful example of that - it's the way things were meant to be. - 31521

The Difference Between Psychic or Spiritual Medium

By Lenny Green

The word psychic implies the ability to be capable of extraordinary mental processes, such as extrasensory perception and mental telepathy. The word medium implies the ability to communicate and sense the spirit realm. To be spiritual would add an element of awareness that is of the divine. Often times the general public doesn't understand where a psychic or medium is coming from. For example: how are they getting their information? Is it from their guides? Who are their guides? Is it from the astral plane? What level of the astral plane are they listening to? All things exist on the astral plane from low level entities to angels and everything in between.

It would benefit the person who is looking for answers to ask questions of this nature so they know what that person is channeling and or seeing. Most sensitive people are with one or two abilities. A person that is clairvoyant has the ability to receive information through the third eye center or sixth chakra. The fifth chakra is the center where hearing the spirit realm is possible. Many readers are kinesthetic and feel everything. This feeling ability comes from the second chakra region and is most prevalent in all readers. It is very rare that a psychic medium or spiritual medium has all sensory systems on.

In my own case I am one of the very few that sees the spirit realm, hears the spirit realm, smells the spirit realm and feels everything. With this said it is with great responsibility that a reader must handle these gifts. I feel it is important to deliver information with the four essential bodies in mind. The physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies are constantly trying to align themselves through a variety of experiences. We must first approach a question that has present and futuristic ramifications from a place that everyone has free will and we can take a variety of roads to get to the end result. The question is what road do you want to take? The hard road often the choice when karma is involved or the high road which leads us to trusting God and the Universe have a much better plan for us than we could ever dream up ourselves. This is very important for anyone who is trying to understand the difference in a realm that many do not understand and a wide variety of terminology that has many interpretations.

When I am asked where my information comes from I consult my guides who are from the realm of the guardians of the universe and God. Often spirits will want to talk with their loved one and have opinions on various topics but ultimately because they have incarnated in physical form they have karma and attachments to this plane, so ultimately I ask my guides and God. I feel there are many forces out there that want a voice and carry energy for their own creation here on earth and they are not necessarily the energy you want to get you answers and or healing from. Ask questions about where the information comes from and who they are communicating with. Be aware that many people call themselves spiritual mediums, psychics, clairvoyants but as in all industries you have highly skilled technicians and amateurs.

How do you verify what that person is telling you? You trust your own feelings! - 31521

How Knowing How To Astral Travel Will Enhance Your Life

By Rick J Griffiths

The last time you were having a dream where you were flying, you were experiencing what astral travel was like. Astral travel is the way the astral body moves about in the astral plane, and it does so by flying. You simply think about where it is you want to go and what it is you want and once your physical mind and body are asleep the subconscious mind and astral body are off to fulfil your desires.

It is important to know that astral travel is not the same thing as dreaming. Dreaming is a more scientific condition. It is essentially your minds way of dealing with the stresses of the day, playing them out in various ways as you dream. Regular dreaming can sometimes be remembered, and sometimes not, but there is a definite difference between that and astral travel.

Whenever you can vividly remember a dream, rest assured you were likely experiencing some form of astral projection. No matter what you intend to do with the information, it is a good idea to recall these dreams as best you can and put them down on paper in a journal. While one or two of these dreams will not make sense to you, there will be time when you can go through several of your recalled dreams and they will make complete sense.

Similar to the dreams that allow you to work out the problems and frustrations of the day, so astral travel has some benefits as well. The benefits will be unique to you, as they are to each person who experiences astral projection, and that is why it is so important that you write them down.

Generally speaking though, benefits to experiencing astral travel and keeping track of your experiences can include a deepening of spirituality. When we say this, what we are referring to is a deeper connection to the soul and the world around you. This promotes inner peace and feelings of well being. Another benefit to astral travel is that it can increase memory and creativity. This is because astral travel sparks activity in parts of the brain that we typically do not use.

A third benefit to astral travel is that it can also increase your psychic abilities. Many people who practice astral travel report having an increased ability to sense spirits, use of telepathy and precognition.

This is due to the fact that when you astral project and astral travel you are tapping into spiritual energies that you ignored before.

Even skeptics who didn't believe that astral projection and astral travel were real, experienced that ability to see and read peoples auras.

Finally, a fourth benefit that most people enjoy is the pure and simple excitement and adventure that comes with astral travel. The ability to go wherever it is they want to go and do what they want it is a freeing experience.

It is a wonder that astral projection isnt practiced by more people. The truth is that most people are afraid or feel silly trying it out because they don't feel they have the psychic sensitivity to do it. But everyone can use astral projection to their benefit, if only they give it a try.

It is a safe bet that you have astral traveled and not even realized that you have done it. Remember in the beginning you were encouraged to remember the last time you dreamt that you were flying, that was an astral travel experience.

Now that you know something about astral travel, you can allow yourself to experience these events openly. The next time you have an astral travel experience, try to control some aspects of it. A little practice at this and you will see your mental strength increase each day.

There are techniques that you can learn on your own through books offline or eBooks and other resources online. These were created by people who practice astral travel. Learning to astral travel is not as difficult as people want to believe that it is. This is a natural ability that you were born with, you just forgot how to use it and need to fine tune your ability. - 31521

The Psychology Of The 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. - 31521

Develop Powers Of Clairvoyance

By Declan Dunn

You've probably heard the word clairvoyance used before, more than likely in one of the many commercials for psychics which are often run on late night television. What you might not know is that you don't need to go to a psychic for clairvoyance; its something which anyone can use. All human beings have a natural capacity for this and other psychic abilities and with some effort, you can develop clairvoyance. It's like learning to use any new skill. With time and practice you'll become adept in using it.

In case you're not quite sure what clairvoyance is, it's a psychic ability which allows you to know things before they happen or things which your five physical senses alone could not tell you. If you take the necessary time, you can develop clairvoyance and use this talent for yourself.

If you'd like to develop clairvoyance, you have a lot to gain. Being able to use your clairvoyant abilities will give you a new perspective on life and even give you inner peace and happiness. You'll discover a level of mental clarity and creative resources you didn't know you had. The only downside to exercising your clairvoyant talents is that you have to be more vigilant about protecting yourself from negative energy.

Sense becoming clairvoyant means that you are going to be more sensitive to the energies around you, you will need to make sure that you avoid negative people, places, and things. There will be times that you run into these types of situations, they are pretty much unavoidable. But when you do, just make sure that you do something positive to get rid of those energies. If more people took the time to develop their clairvoyant abilities, they would have a much easier time learning how to rid themselves of negative moods and the energies that plague them.

Try these methods to help you quickly develop clairvoyance:

Eliminate negative energies from your life: If there is anything in your home which you perceive is filled with negative energy, get rid of it in order to allow more positive energy in. Cleanse your home of these energies by burning all of the things which carry negative energy with them.

Meditation: Make 30 minutes every day for meditation. Choose somewhere quiet where you can sit or walk and clear your head. This allows you to catch your breath and think somewhere away from the pressures of your daily routine.

Meditation is great for releasing stress as well. You will find it difficult to develop clairvoyance if your mind is cluttered with unnecessary thoughts. You need this time, and all that matters is that you are alone and completely at peace when you are doing it. Combine this time with some deep breathing techniques and you will be completely relaxed afterwards.

Follow your feelings. Of course it always makes sense to listen to your mind as well, but your feelings are what is going to be able to guide you when developing your ability. If something feels right, then it probably is. For example, when you meet someone for the first time and you just know that you two are going to make great friends, then you should trust your instinct and go with it. Chances are that you are right!

Trust your hunches. Do not doubt yourself. Having low self-esteem is not going to help either. You must be confident in your thoughts and feelings if you want to be able to develop your clairvoyant abilities. Doubting your instincts will just damage your capabilities. You may be nervous about it, but just go with it.

There is a good reason why children have an easier time developing clairvoyance and using this and other psychic abilities. They are free of the stresses of adult life and are in tune with their feelings and instincts. Learn from them and let your instincts guide you and don't be afraid to express your feelings. You'll be filled with positive energies and be a happier person who is more relaxed and in tune with yourself " and these are necessary conditions to be in if you want to develop clairvoyance.

All of us, including you already have clairvoyance and other psychic abilities. These are natural abilities but they need to be activated and developed using the proper techniques and practiced to reach their full potential.

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. - 31521

Men On Tricyclic Antidepressant More Likely To 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. - 31521

The Magic Of Lucid Dreams

By Paul Benson

Lucid dreams are one of the most fascinating things which you can experience. These are dreams which you can take control and decide what will happen. In lucid dreams, you know that you are dreaming, which is why you are in charge of the dream; and anything that you want to make part of your dream is yours to have.

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.

Unlike regular dreams which follow their own pace and their own internal logic, lucid dreams can be controlled by the dreamer. Your lucid dreams seem incredibly real, no matter how fantastic the events you decide to make a part of them.

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.

Lucid dreams allow you to make any fantasy come true or live out the experiences you've always wanted to have. You can interact with anyone you've ever wanted to meet or see anything in the entire universe.

Since you're in control of a lucid dream, you can always change the course of events. You can replay parts of your life, changing the outcome for the better; this can help you to come to terms with some things which may be hard to process psychologically.

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'll need to practice lucid dreaming before you're able to do it at will. This can take some time, so keep practicing and be patient; these dreams will come to you with time.

The best way to begin is by keeping a dream journal. Write down everything you can remember from your dreams as soon as you awake. Keep a pad and pen within arm's length of your bed so that you can write down every detail quickly. You may not remember everything every time - be patient. You will get better at this with time and training your mind to remember your dreams and recognize when it is dreaming will help you to start having lucid dreams.

In fact, writers have been known to keep records of their lucid dreams to help them plan out characters and plots for their stories and novels. Lucid dreaming is a good way to exercise your creativity and try some new ideas.

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.

Lucid dreaming happens most readily in the hour or two before you are accustomed to waking up. When you wake early and go back to bed at these times, you often lucid dream; it seems as if you've just been thinking as you lie in bed, but once the alarm goes off, you know that you've been dreaming!

With a little practice, you'll find that it's easy to bring yourself into the necessary mental state for lucid dreaming. Self hypnosis can help you get started by helping you to remember your dreams.

One new advance in audio technology can also be of assistance to you in learning to have lucid dreams. Binaural beats are specially recorded frequencies which attune the two hemispheres of your brain to the proper frequency to reach a lucid dreaming state. - 31521

A Natural Way To Astral Project

By David Groomes

The ability to astral project is something which everyone already has naturally; in fact, you've probably astral projected before without knowing it. What we're going to talk about here is learning to consciously astral project and have control over where your astral body goes.

We're going to assume that you already know what the astral plane is and that you know about your astral body. Instead, we'll go ahead and discuss methods that can help you learn how to astral project. Everyone does best with different techniques, so you may want to try different ones until you find one which is best for you.

The following technique is a five-step process which can be done as you're lying in bed before you fall asleep.

*First: Start by tensing, then relaxing every part of your body. Start with your toes and work your way up to your head. You'll probably begin to feel heavy; this is nothing to worry about and is a sign that you're becoming deeply relaxed.

*Second; Focus on your breathing. Take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. Exhale slowly, visualizing your tension and stress leaving your body each time you exhale.

*Third; Focus on the deeply relaxed way your body feels; it probably feels like stone or clay; that is to say, heavy and difficult to move. Next, concentrate on the weightlessness of your astral body and picture it floating up out of your physical body.

*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; Visualize yourself pulling this light from the ceiling towards your astral body. You'll feel like your floating (your astral body will in fact be floating; if you look down, you might see your physical body still in bed).

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 technique can help you as you learn to astral project. This is called the gazing method and it's quite simple. You need to choose something to focus your attention on; it doesn't really matter what it is, just something which is visible from your 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!

Don't give up if you don't succeed the first time you try these techniques. Practice makes perfect and if you just aren't having luck with these methods, there are plenty of others you can try. Just stick with it and be patient and you'll learn how to astral project sooner than you think.

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.

There are plenty of techniques which can make it easier to astral project and you should use whatever works best for you.

Hypnosis is something which a lot of people find helps them to astral project. Especially for beginners, a guided hypnosis session can help. Having an expert there to tell you what's happening and what to do next at each step is valuable guidance.

New audio technology has enabled something called binaural beats which can produce a relaxed, meditative state using slightly different frequencies in each ear. A lot of people find binaural beats to make it easy to astral project.

Learning to astral project isn't as hard as you might think. It's a capacity which all of us have inherently. It's just a matter of practicing and fine tuning it. After all, you were born with the ability to learn to ride a bicycle, though you had to practice it. Learning to astral project is much the same; it's just learning to use the abilities you already possess. - 31521

Self Help Anger Management

By Kailey Anna

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.

If money is tight (as can be the case with anger, either causing that anger or resulting from it), consider checking out free anger management counseling. Most of the time, all you'll be able to find is free advice, and actual counseling is difficult to come by. Fortunately, there are often money-back guarantees if the program does not work as intended, and free counseling can still be very helpful to give you some tips to deal with anger. If you're willing to attend public classes, then you can save a lot of money, but you'll have less choices available to you. No matter the case, anger management counseling stands to benefit your life greatly.

Remember, just because you can't afford private counseling doesn't mean that you have to abandon anger management entirely. You can still find plenty of different free anger management counseling classes at your community centers on a regular basis, and while you'll have less choices open, you'll still receive effective counseling services. You just won't be able to choose your counselor or the times that you'll be involved in group therapy, but when the results become apparent after a few months, you'll forget all about the few mild shortcomings of free anger management counseling. Find out the schedule by placing a call to your local community centers or browsing their web sites.

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.

Adult caregivers who are responsible for aging parents or disabled family members also face a great deal of stress that can erupt into anger issues. People in this situation may find that an adult anger management class will help them handle their responsibility with much more calm than they ever thought possible. Considering that many on the receiving end of this care suffer verbal and physical abuse at the hands of their caretakers, it is easy to see why online anger management classes might be critical in these circumstances. - 31521

Where Do The Best Mens Clothes Come From?

By Glenn Hughes

We all have our own idea of what makes great style or fashion. When we are growing up, our clothes are obviously being chosen for us by our parents. Thankfully, we all eventually go on and make up our own minds as to what style actually suits us. You most definitely need to be comfortable in your own skin as well as the clothes that you are in. Choose the clothes that suit you but at least choose something different that may be different. There are myriads of choices available, open your mind and see what you can find.

British fashion is famous across the world. The Brits consider themselves not to have style at all. Across the world, however, British style is iconic, understated, individual and very cool. Take the humble bowler hat- a staple of the British businessman for years; of course it is outdated now but the image stays in the consciousness and is very British. Nowadays, iconic British designers like Stella McCartney are carrying on that tradition

French fashion houses have prided themselves on their attention to detail, style and class. It is probably fair to say that menswear brands have remained in the shadow of their feminine counterparts. It is definitely worth checking out the best designer brands from the French. The look is eternal, stylish and understated in a similar, yet very different way from the British equivalent. Jumpers, jackets and trousers are my favourite items from the French. They also have a way of accessorising that is very French- try it if you dare!

German style is definitely one of the sleeping giants within the mens fashion business. Often making clothing for other brands, as opposed to making a name for themselves, you would be very surprised at the sheer volume of clothing that is designed and also made in Germany. Punching well above their weight, it is worth your while checking out the very latest styles available from the top mens German manufacturers

Italian styling is quite rightly revered across the whole world. The Italian man is very conscious of his appearance and the influence of Italian designers has gone right across the globe. Men's suits from companies like Armani are the staple of the successful man. Personally, I would check out the clothing from other countries: Italy is owed a great debt by the fashion industry; however there are other choices out there. Explore, examine, enjoy. - 31521

Are You Searching For The Secret Of Abundance?

By Mickie Lake

People the world over are in search of the secret of changing their lives. They want to find that magic missing secret. They think if they have it, it will provide them will all their wants and needs. They may spend all their time and money in search of the secret. The good news is you will now have the secret, right here, right now! You do not need to search further. You had a consuming desire for it and now the universe is providing it to you.

First you must understand one thing, an abundant life is not just a life filled with a lot of money. Living an abundant life means that you are fulfilled in the three sections of life, Money, Health and Relationships. While there are many that would disagree and they may even try to tell you that the key to living an abundant life is an overflowing amount of money, they are wrong.

For instance, if you are a multi-millionaire, yet you lack in health with only a few days to live, you spend your days staring at the ceiling, then what good will you get from all that money. If you have good health, but have no one to share your life with, how can health create abundant living? You need all three of these components to live an abundant life.

The secret can bring you abundance in health, wealth and relationships. Your thoughts and emotions are the real secret to abundance. Your thoughts and emotions work to create your life, since they powerfully influence that which you desire in your life as well as influencing how you life your life right now.

Many individuals reading this may shake their head and tell you this is a lie. If the secret of abundance depended upon your thoughts and emotions, that everyone would have an abundant life. These individuals are correct. If everyone has the power to create an abundant life, then why is he or she not doing so?

There can be a long list of reasons; however, they all concern one fundamental concern. Many individuals do not want to live an abundant life, since it is easier for them to live as they are and simply complain about their situation. Do you think that Donald Trump ever felt sorry for himself or that Bill Gates doubted that he would become a millionaire? No, they did not, have not and will not. From the beginning they set their mind to creating their success, they meant to become the masters of their own lives; they knew that they would live an abundant life.

The fact that the secret is simple shouldn't be a reason for you to not believe it. Look around, each and every thing you see started off as a thought a thought that someone had that they manifested into reality. The space shuttle, the pen you write with, the car you drive, the seat belt in that car, the window in your home, the toy that you child is playing with they all started off as a thought.

You can create the life you desire right now! You need to figure out what it is you really want. Be detailed and specific write it down even. Determine what it is you want and then find those things you have right now and be thankful for them. Remember, if you do not appreciate what you have now you will not be able to make things better for yourself.

Now think about what you want to create in your life. Let the thought consume you. Let it become a burning fire in your heart and soul. Get excited about it. The emotion adds even more power to the thought. So the message that you are sending out into the universe is the equivalent of a Tsunami, not just a little wave. Believe that you are going to have the life you want. Believe that it is coming to you and now make sure that you are doing everything you can to create it.

The secret of abundance is hidden inside your mind, thoughts and emotions. When you change your thought patterns, you can change your life! - 31521

How To Find Happiness With These 3 Laws

By Fred Freddman

There are only three keys to happiness. They are universal, powerful and essential for a happy life: Key#1 - Find Yourself, Key#2 - Love Yourself, Key#3 - Love Others. Sounds simple enough but what do they really mean?

#1 - To find yourself is a real challenge for most people. The reason is simple. It is because from early childhood we were taught that we are not all good. Certainly our parents and teachers were well intentioned. They wanted us to measure up to some standard that they thought was important for our happiness. Unfortunately they were wrong. There is no standard (or shouldn't be) other than our own and there is absolutely nothing fundamentally wrong with any of us.

But in reality you are your own ideal, you only need to discover who that person is. You are a unique individual with special talents and desires all your own. To find that person you need to uncover your long buried (perhaps never seen) passions. That's right, your passions. These are the people, places and things that you are deeply attracted to in life.

Look for your passions and you will find yourself. Most of us aren't really in touch with our passion because we have been trained not to be. But trust me, they are within you and just below the surface. The things that attract you or that make you curious are your keys. Pursue your interests, your curiosity and your attractions. Eventually you will discover who you really are.

#2 - Once you find yourself, you must learn to love yourself. That means appreciating everything about you, even the "bad" parts. In reality there are no bad parts only parts of that are there to learn a better way.

Don't listen to others when it comes to arriving at your own value. What you think is most important. Be courageous in your own defense. That doesn't mean others may not have some valid insights but it does mean that you should never think of yourself as bad or worthless. You must always realize your inherent value, no matter what others may say.

#3 - Love Others. Just as you cannot be bad, so others cannot be bad. We're all in this life together doing our best. We all make mistakes and that's the way we learn. We all may follow the wrong path for a while until we realize there is a better way. If you see the good in yourself you will see the good in others and vice-versa.

Believe it or not, the other people you find in your life are there for a reason. These are precisely the people you need to show you parts of yourself that you may be out of touch with. Yes, its true, we attract the people we need in order to learn more about ourselves. Everyone in your life has a purpose and that purpose is to teach you something about yourself that you my not know or have forgotten.

And there you have it ... the three secrets to leading a happier life. Even though most of this may sound familiar don't discount it. Its familiar for a reason ... because its true and you will keep hearing it until you get it. the universe intends for you to master these three universal truths and you can't graduate to ultimate happiness until you do. - 31521

How To Powerfully Persuade Others To Your Way Of Thinking

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 thing you'll want to do is generate rapport. This is when you feel really comfortable with somebody, you feel a lot of similarity with this person, and you share many things in common.

Next, you want to start looking for criteria. These are things that are important to them. For example, when looking for an investment broker, it might be important to find one that has a quick response time for questions.

The more vague and fuzzy their criteria are, the better. If they want to eat pizza, and all you sell is hot dogs, you've got a problem. But if they want to eat something with cheese, then you've got something to work with. Even better if all they want is something spicy.

But if one of their criteria is something vague like safety, security, popularity, then you've gone something to work with. These can be fairly easy to leverage.

All you do once you find out what their criteria are, is to conversationally convince them that by doing what you want, they will achieve all or part of their criteria.

This is best done indirectly, because if you use the direct approach you will sound too much like a salesperson.

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 you elicit, the better off you are. And the longer you can spread out the elicitation and leveraging of the criteria, the better.

One way to do this is to get some criteria, talk about sports, or whatever, get some more criteria. Then when you start to connect their criteria to your product, you can start telling stories about people who did the same thing.

When you do this the right way, and with patience, by the end of the conversation, they will be begging you to be able to do what you want. This is really powerful.

Of course, it goes without saying that if you use this to trick or manipulate people, you will suffer the consequences. You want to make sure to keep their positive outcome in mind, so everybody ends up better off. - 31521

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

By Jeff Hope

If you suffer from anxiety or panic disorder then you've lost far to many days to grips of panic attack. Without warning a panic attack can strike at any time or place. You don't even have to be in a dangerous environment for a panic attack to strike. In this article I'd like to make sure you understand common symptoms of anxiety attacks and 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.

The conflict: We're typically really excited to attend out social event. There may be friends or family there or maybe even a hot date. Maybe we've been looking forward to this event for weeks or even months but the thought of panic and anxiety never leaves our consciousness.

Sadly, as the time draws closer our anxiety increases as well. If we even make it out of the house, entering a crowded venue may be enough to trigger a full blown panic attack. There may be nothing dangerous or scary there. We may logically know that there is nothing to be afraid of, but all of that doesn't matter. The anxiety grows until we realize we're in the grips of a 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 then does an effective panic disorder treatment exist? Absolutely YES! Although there are many treatments out there the most effective treatments include; drug therapy, psychotherapy, and self help treatment programs. Some of these treatments come with side effects and a high monetary price tag.

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 be expensive but can be effective in treating panic disorder if you happen to find a therapist that you can connect with. Finding a therapist that you can trust and relate to can be time consuming and costly. A good psychotherapist can run from $100 to over $300 per hour (session). Group therapy is a more cost effective option if you don't mind airing your dirty laundry publicly.

If you'd like to find the optimal blend of cost and a treatment plan that truly works then get a proven self help program. These programs are great because they can be started immediately and you can work on them in the comfort of your own home. It's not necessary to go to anxiety provoking group therapy sessions with these programs. So take control of your own destiny and get a self help program as your panic disorder treatment. - 31521

Suicidal Thoughts

By Carlo Mueres

Nortriptyline has been found to cause a ten-fold increase in suicidal thoughts in men when compared to its competitor escitalopram. These findings are published in the open access journal BMC Medicine.

The research was carried out by Dr. Nader Perroud from the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, who headed up GENDEP, an international team. Dr Perroud said "Suicidal thoughts and behaviours during antidepressant treatment have prompted warnings by regulatory bodies". He continued "the aim of our study was to investigate the emergence and worsening of suicidal thoughts during treatment with two different types of antidepressant."

Both escitalopram and nortriptyline have their effect through the mood modulating neurotransmitter systems. The former is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), preventing serotonin from re-entering the cell and thereby prolonging its effect on nerve synapses. The latter is a tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of noradrenaline, and to a lesser extent, that of serotonin.

The study was carried out on 811 individuals with moderate to severe unipolar depression. Whilst an overall trend in reduction of suicidal thoughts was observed, men who took nortriptyline were found to have a 9.8-fold increase in emerging suicidal thoughts and a 2.4-fold increase in worsening suicidal thoughts compared to those who took escitalopram.

Perroud concludes, "Our findings that treatment-emerging and worsening suicidal thoughts may also be associated with psychomotor activation triggered by antidepressants needs to be investigated in future studies.

The study also refutes the idea that newer antidepressants such as the SSRIs are worse than older medications in terms of increasing suicidal thoughts."

Secrets To Becoming a Great Psychic Medium

By James Brown Smith

A psychic medium is not born a top psychic medium but like any skill they develop their psychic ability through time. Psychic mediums all start off like everyone else who also have these latent psychic abilities. However certain environmental conditions can dramatically improve their psychic mediumship skills.

Being born to a family of healers and psychics helps program your mind to that fact that it is perfectly normal to become a psychic medium. Other factors are being fascinated with other healers and psychics to the point you read everything you can lay your hands to further open your mind up to the possibility of becoming a psychic medium. Interestingly many people think that reading about psychic mediums and using psychic tools such as tarot cards etc will transform them into a psychic medium. The reality is the more they trust their intuition and still their mind the more psychic they will become. However being psychic and becoming a psychic medium are worlds apart.

The secret is rather surprising; listing to the spirits from the other side is all about raising your vibration by constantly clearing yourself of negative energy. In other words to become a psychic medium you first have to become a healer.

Only then can you clear your space and your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical body to the point you will have accurate communication with the spirit world. Negative energy will come to you in many forms it may be the location you are at, it may be someone you spoke to over the phone or in person or it may be as simple as your own negative thoughts and fears. Irrespective of the source of the negative energy you must clear your space, everything you consume and all of your four bodies. There are a number of easy techniques that will all help clear you of negative energy.

The more well know ones are bathing in water with a few drops of organic cold pressed essential oils that you have intuitively selected another is to add Epsom Salts to your bath water. More advanced techniques involve your breathing and brushing your body down with water whether in front of the wash hand basin or in the shower or clearing the room with sage and breathing out the negative energy. If you are not familiar with Reiki or a similar healing modality you may well think that all these negative energy clearing techniques are nonsense. However irrespective whether these techniques alter matter or our perception of reality the fact is that your psychic mediumship abilities and new found health and well being will transform your life.

Although your true psychic potential will be influenced to some extent by your genetics and environment, ultimately becoming psychic medium will be very much determined by what your learn and more importantly adopt in your daily life. If you wish to explore your psychic ability and dramatically improve the quality of your life and your health then you should make the decision to start today. - 31521

Are All CV Services Made The Same?

By Glenn Hughes

One option to getting your CV ready for job hunting is to do it yourself. Unless you are a career profession with some significant experience in viewing and writing CVs is not to do it yourself. There are many options available to you able you owe it to your future career to explore all the available options before committing money to it

There are many different services available to you, from very basic word processing services that churn out CV after CV to full blown professional services. There are advantages and disadvantages to all of them. In the end, you'll need to decide to use the one of your choice- the purpose of this short guide is to help you choose

The entry level CV service is aimed at the school leaver or the ever bottom end of the market. These services can be very cheap and are aimed at creating volumes of work for the people in the business- they basically are a factory produced CV producer. The results that they churn out therefore look pretty much the same for everybody and won't help you to stand out from the crowd. Their advantage is that they are cheap, and marginally better than most people would produce for themselves

Using a friend from a business that deals with CVs all the time can have some advantages. On the one hand, they know you and should therefore be able to help sell you, on the other, they may not write CVs a;ll the time. This option is definitely preferable to using a cheap word processing service or an online template. They will not, however be able to get you placed at the highest level as the quality of work will not stand out well enough

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

I would always advocate the use of a professional CV writing service. They are there to help you and the cost of their service is almost insignificant compared with the additional salary that you will be able to command through using their services. Track record is what separates the good from the bad and the downright ugly- ask about the track record and look to see testimonials from happy customers (if they have any)

A guarantee is always something that you should look for when buying anything. When considering buying a CV, make sure that the company that you are going to buy from is happy to stand by the service that they are going to provide. If they are not, ask yourself why not?

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 - 31521

Be Prepared For These Tough Interview Questions

By Glenn Hughes

Some interviewers are tougher than others. It helps a great deal to know some of the questions that you are likely to be asked. This article details some of the most difficult and some tips that will help you to answer them. Fail to plan and plan to fail- more than just a buzz phrase- really good advice to get you through that tricky interview

Please tell me about yourself. One of the oldest questions in the interviewers armory but still used every day. Answer by finding out if they want to know about your personal or your professional life. If you are quaking inside, answer by starting to talk about your recent achievements and what these meant to you. Be positive, and focus on the job roles from your past most appropriate to this one. Be ready to answer this question, it's almost bound to come up

What interests you about this particular role? Make sure that you focus on what you can deliver for them. Not just a good tip in answering this question alone- show what you have done for people in the past, i.e. achieved and more importantly how much that potentially means for the new company

Tell me about the company that you used to work for. Flashing lights here right now- they are looking to see if you will bad mouth them. No matter what happened at that company, you must come across as positively as possible. Any negativity on your part will be seized upon as they are looking for the real reason why you left them. They are also looking to see if you can be trusted. Watch out for this question, it could trip you up

What sort of salary package are you expecting? Never answer this one directly- ask back what sort of salary that they were looking to pay. They are fishing, trying to see if they can get you at a cheap price. It isn't a good idea to discuss salary at an interview but in this case, they started the debate. Stay positive, ignore the churning in your stomach- they are interested in you or they wouldn't be asking

Is is always right to tell the truth? Great question, simple answer. Of course the answer is that you never lie. This is designed to take you off guard and to probe if you would actually lie. Never a good idea lying, sometimes though you can't tell someone the whole truth though. Be on your guard- an interviewer asking this question is good

What is your worst characteristic? Oh dear, a flashing red light- this is a trap. The answer is to focus on something incriminating- for example, I can be a bit of a perfectionist- I like to get things right and sometimes this can annoy people whose work is less than satisfactory - 31521
