Time Distortion

Last night, I was sitting on the couch "catching up" with my computer while my son sat right next to me playing his basketball video game. Next thing I knew, it was bedtime for both of us! I think we were in an altered state of consciousness, combining focus and fun. In that state of …

Energy for a Lifetime

A friend recently asked me why the Energetic Model of development doesn't span the entire lifetime.
