A shift in consciousness may be all that's required.
Have we got it all upside down?
All this cyber bullying and cyber space is new to parents. What can we do?
An idependant study found that children spending long periods of time online had an increased likely hood of being cyber bullied. The research found that children that had a blend of sport and socialising outdoors after school were far less affected by cyber bullying. Sounds so obvious.
It's what children are doing when they're offline that counts. Finding a healthy balance is the key.
When children are online for too long it affects their ability to communicate.

We no longer need to stay lost in our challenges 'below'.
Do we follow the herd? Or rise above it?
There are times when we need to follow others, that’s a given. The issues we face today are so complex and overwhelming that society itself is lost in them, in the herd. So instead of schools just focusing on making our herd ( groups ) stronger. Maybe it’s time to develop an awareness of what the herd itself actually repre
sents today. Maybe this could put everything back into a balanced perspective.
Over 90% of people will be affected by some form of bullying in their career. The same applies to our children with even more ways to bully via cyber space and txt.
Bullying in reality is a normal and necessary part of growing up. But lets see
it in some kind of perspective. Awareness is what we lack.
By combining Families and Teachers at School we gain a whole school response.
'Anudder World’ of possibilities awaits!
DVDs, books and Support material keep it real long term.

Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Isaac Newton.
When you say NO to something it has an equal and opposite reaction.
Saying ‘No bullying’ to a child struggling with their own issues already can bring an opposite reaction. It’s a bit like saying ‘No to anger’. If you need to express something, saying no makes you want to express it even more.
Nature seeks to balance everything. It has no judgement in right or wrong. This is why it’s opposite always comes up. If you strive to be only happy, you will experience its opposite in sadness. That’s why the expression of gratitude and love from the heart transcends this duality. This balances all things.
Einstein said. The problems we face can not be solved at the same level from which they were created. By saying No to bullying, we ignore the issues that fuel it.
There are two basic conscious levels. The fear based egoic mind of human survival ‘below the line. The other relates to the consciousness of love and gratitude from the heart ‘above the line.’
The qualities ‘above the line’ include our issues 'below the line'. 'Below the line' due to it being unaware in the first place, attacks and seperates. The ego itself does this automatically when it lacks the higher awareness. This is explained in more detail in our free book, 'Why relationSHIPS sink. How to make your RelaionSHIP criuse' book. This is supplied upon sign upon on the home page.
Our childrens future depends on the ability of parents and teachers to advocate their authentic self. In an overly busy and stressed out world this in itself is a challenge. 'Anudder world' helps provide that environment for families.
Letting go of our luggage is our greatest challenge. But why hold onto it?
Our story from our past can often prevent personal growth whenever we hold onto the right and wrong of our emotions 'below the line'.
This only strengthens our sense of who we think we are. Our surface identity. Ie: Bob the banker. We can easily become our job identity, or how society has shaped us. Gender, race and culture can often dominate our perspective.
Our surface identity lives the luggage we tend to carry 'below the line'. Holding onto to this luggage eventually causes the relationSHIP with yourself to sink.
Over time, hopefully our view of life evloves. By facing your challenges 'below the line' you are deciding to no longer pretend in a world of apathy. The people that work through their pain, deepen. The by product is more consciousness. The reason why this is avoided is the fear of the unknown and the thought of taking responsibility for what that might stand for.
Your core identity is your authentic courageous self. You realise that you're not just your surface indentity. Now you're taking responsibility for what's important.
The knocks and battles 'below the line' are there to build depth of character and insight. By watching our interal drama from a conscious state, or from 'above the line', we actually work through the emotion and miraculously, into a new feeling.
Would'nt it be great to inspire children in schools to get on this early on. To learn to deal with their challenges, instead of being lost in them. 'Anudder World' helps students get this. To ask questions that would help support such a version of society.
Lets give our children an opportunity empower themselves. It needs to be theirs not ours. Adults do it in their own way. Lets face it, too many adults are ingrained in yesterdays reactive story.
Most of humanity itself is actually lost in the herd 'below the line'. It lives in the unconscious cycle of the unobserved egoic mind.
There is another way.
Check out this awareness raising concept. See how it makes you feel?
What's the value in thinking twice?
Sometimes our first reactive thought is our best response. Other times, usually in our relationships, we're far better off to shut up and think twice. Put simply, we allow ourselves the space to listen with the space of awareness 'above the line'. This is your second thought. Hello wisdom.
Instead of feeding the predictable drama, a different response can arise from your being. It has an intelligence beyond the cleverness of the fear based egoic self.
If all you hear is more fear based reaction 'below the line'. It becomes your choice to either entertain it or move on. The results of these discussions always have a used by date stamped with 'insanity for sale.'
Follow your heart, not the herd. Discover:-
Our programs are set by the age of five. That's a bit scary.
The outcomes are represented by our behaviours.
By around the age of six we begin to think more consciously ‘above the line’, yet it’s the subconscious that controls everything.
Over time, many of us have learnt not to trust our relationships and fall into the emotions ‘below’.
Instead of being productive. We can often unconsciously sabotage our relationships.
This is our fear based egoic self. Behaving as best it knows in a world of right and wrong.
It's time to take charge and see your life from ‘above the line!'
The greatest people learn from the challenges ‘below the line.’ They’ve learnt to appreciate what’s really important. They gain a higher perspective because of it.
The herd have been lost in the fears which derive from our past. This relates to the black and white judgments that limit our ability to see the issues that matter from a higher perspective. It is important to understand our personal past to be able to recognize the aspects of ourselves that require change.
We will then have the ability to see our issues from ‘above the line’.
In doing so we achieve more balance and inner peace.
‘Above the line’ there is no judgement. We have the ability to observe situations without the need to react or be caught up in them.
By taking charge of ourselves ‘above the line’ we gain self control in a world of stress and chaos.
We break the cycle of yesterdays issues by reclaiming our personal power.
Stess is on the increase because society itself is caught up ‘below the line’. You and your family can ‘rise above it’ together.
