Synopsis

The Kid's User Guide to a Human Life Book One: An Open Mind , using illustrations and uplifting text, focuses on how the brain and nervous system take information and direction from the internal chatter in the mind. Most kids (and adults) are unaware of how repetitive and negative their own internal chatter can be. When left unchecked, this internal chatter can wreak havoc on your health and life. The Kid's User Guide to a Human Life Book One: An Open Mind shares how easy it is to be mindful of your own habitual chatter and how doing so creates a spacious, open quality of mind and life.

Your neuron pathways come alive with a voice that is so constant that you may not have even noticed it going on and on and on and on. Here, take five minutes to sit quietly and listen. Close your eyes and pay attention to what you say to yourself.

Can you hear it-your mind chattering away? When left to its own devices your mind chatters away all day, influencing everything you do and feel. This chatter is based on all of your past, learned, and inherited experiences. The neuron pathways in your brain were created by your greatest successes and your most challenging moments.
