I never could understand why Numerology simply doesn't get the attention that the occult sciences of Astrology and the Tarot get. You can't open up a daily newspaper without seeing your horoscope, but try to find anything related to Numerology and you might as well wait for world peace. Well, it's no surprise then that a lot of people really don't know what Numerology really is and what it's used for. This article will hopefully give you a decent idea of what's involved so you can make an informed decision on whether or not this is a field of study you want to pursue.

Numerology, believe it or not, has actually been around for over 10,000 years. Practitioners of this art use it, not so much to predict events, but to reveal hidden truths of your inner self. It's kind of like a numerical evaluation of a person. Many of these numbers are pretty much set at the time of your birth, but there are some that change over time, especially if you are a woman who gets married and changes her name.

The basic concept of numerology is very simple. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number. These letters, making up your name, where you live, where you went to school, and just about everything involved in your life, get added together and from this number, we learn things about each person. The actual numbers themselves have meanings, so we learn things about people just from the date when they were born.

Not only does each number in numerology have a meaning, but there are certain numbers which are very special, such as 11 and 22. These numbers have deeper meanings when analyzing a person's personality. That's why you will find many powerful and influential people who are born on the 11th or 22nd or have numbers adding up to 11 or 22.

Naturally, this is a very simplified explanation as the actual science of Numerology gets very complex. You can study this science for many years and never truly understand it completely.

On a personal note, I have been into Numerology for over 20 years now. I have done Numerology charts for every member of my family including myself. The almost scary thing is that after doing the analysis for each person, the numbers very much matched up to what I already knew about these people just from living with them. Imagine being able to do that BEFORE you get to know somebody. Numerology can be very helpful in determining if two people are compatible with each other. My wife and I, a perfect match according to the numbers. We've been married for 22 years as of this writing, so maybe there is something to it.

If you want to learn more about this fascinating science, my signature will direct you to a free resource that I have put together where you can learn about Numerology as well as many other occult sciences.

Psychology has evolved from the Greek word "psyche," which means "soul" or "mind," and "logos," which means speech. It is an academic and applied field concerning the study of the mind, brain, and behavior, both human and nonhuman. Psychology also refers to the practical application of such knowledge to diverse spheres of human activity, including problems of people's daily lives and the treatment of psychological illness.

Psychology differs from anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology in seeking to capture illustrative generalizations about the mental function and explicit behavior of individuals. However, contrary to this, other disciplines depend more heavily on field studies and historical methods for extracting expressive generalizations. In reality, however, there is much "cross-fertilization" that takes place among different fields. Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is mainly concerned with the interface between mental processes and behavior of a person. It also refers to the common procedures of a system and not merely the biological or neural procedures themselves.

However, subfields of psychology, such as neuropsychology, combine the study of the actual neural processes with the study of the mental effects they have intuitively produced. Psychology in literal terms means the study of the human mind. It illustrates and attempts to explain awareness, behavior, and social interaction. This study can be structured purely in terms of phenomenological descriptions of internal experiences or as a result of behavior, which includes social conduct. Empirical psychology is mainly dedicated to describing human experience and behavior as it actually occurs.

The study of the correlation between consciousness and the brain or nervous system has been undertaken only recently. However, it is still not clear in what ways they interact.

Psychology is a particularly extensive field, which includes various approaches to the study of mental processes and behavior. An understanding of brain function is gradually being included in psychological theory and practice, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, neuropsychological, and cognitive neuroscience. Mechanical and electronic computing has played an important role in developing the information-processing hypothesis of the mind.

If you look up just about any subject in existence, you're bound to find a comprehensive history on that subject, especially if the subject itself is fairly new, such as the history of something like AIDS or Rock and Roll. But when it comes to the history of Astrology, that's not such an easy thing to tackle for a variety of reasons. This article is going to examine some of the reasons why finding a comprehensive history of Astrology is close to impossible.

The main reason why finding a comprehensive history of Astrology is so hard is because the science itself has been around a long time before writing ever came into existence. So we're talking about a massive amount of history. In order for anybody to even tackle such a project, they would literally have to give their life to it, and very few people are going to want to do it unless they have a real passion for the subject and don't have anything else to do with their time.

Another reason why finding a comprehensive history of Astrology is so hard is because everybody comes into the study of Astrology with their own personal baggage. We all have our own feelings about the subject and it is inevitable that those feelings are going to end up getting included with the facts. Ultimately, what that does is it ends up giving you a history that is neither complete nor accurate.

As a result, if you go to the libraries and book stores and try to find a decent book on the subject, most of them are either terribly incomplete or so filled with personal feelings and opinions that they're not worth reading. There are however a few books on the subject that are worth reading, though still not totally complete. I don't personally think a complete history on Astrology is ever going to hit the shelves, but that of course remains to be seen.

For those interested in when it is believed that Astrology actually began, sometime around 15,000 B.C. would be a fairly accurate guess. The origins were probably somewhere in the Middle East. Of course, depending on what books you read, you'll get slightly different opinions on this as well.

In a way, it's a shame that such a fascinating science is most likely going to remain unknown to the masses as far as its rich history is concerned. Personally, if I didn't have a family to feed and a number of things to do, I'd probably tackle this subject myself.

But where would I start? 15,000 B.C. is a long way to go back to.

According to their ethical code...which usually becomes part of a state's licensing statutes...the unethics of diagnosing mental disorders by clinical psychologists is a problem.

Clinical psychology has its roots in psychometrics...the scientific measurement of mental functions. The earliest and most commonly known example of this is IQ testing.

For a Ph.D. in clinical psychology...students had to know and use the scientific literature...then to design and carry out publishable scientific research.

If they couldn't...it didn't matter how caring they were in the clinic. They didn't get a Ph.D. because the Code of Ethics For Psychologists -- Standard 2.04 says clearly...

Psychologists' work is based upon established scientific...knowledge of the discipline.

And the 'disorders' in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)...the diagnostic bible...are not determined by scientific investigation. Scientific knowledge is missing in the diagnostic practice of clinical psychology.

A clinical psychologist diagnoses a 'disorder' by matching symptoms to descriptions in the DSM. Good science requires a standard of what's normal before you can decide what is abnormal. But normal and disordered are never defined to differentiate them. So the extent of any 'disorder' can't be measured.

Despite its requirement to be scientific in its activities...the profession became 'medicalized' and adopted the procedures and the jargon of psychiatry -- which has never claimed to be a scientific discipline. It uses borrowed terms like...mental health...psychotherapy...psychopathology...psychiatric diagnosis. And it often relies on medication to manage symptoms in patients.

Why would psychologists use unethical methods?

Unfortunately the incentives...or pressures...are great for psychologists to use unvalidated diagnoses. Insurance companies...who pay psychologists...and the courts...that use them as expert witnesses...put great emphasis on diagnosis of mental disorder.

How could this affect me?

It wouldn't be such a serious matter...except a diagnosis of psychiatric disorder can have unexpected negative consequences in people's lives. When they don't know who uses diagnostic data or how...people even can lose their liberty based on unvalidated disorders.

If you see a clinical psychologist and you use insurance to pay for psychotherapy...a diagnosis is usually required...and may legally be shared with the insurer's affiliated companies.

This data sharing may have negative results (e.g., denial of employment)...which the therapist may not have explored with you. If not...then your agreement to put diagnostic data on the insurance form was not informed consent.

However, the Code of Ethics For Psychologists requires informed consent to share information (Standard 3.10) by discussing...

1. the involvement of third parties (e.g., an insurance company or credit card company and their affiliates) and limits of confidentiality. (Standard 10.01).

2. by discussing the foreseeable uses of the information generated through their psychological activities. (Standard 4.02)

How do I know psychiatric diagnosis isn't scientific?

With the DSM-III the American Psychiatric Association tried to validate the psychiatric diagnosis of 'disorders'...using scientific methods to answer the question: Would clinicians...independently evaluating the same symptoms...arrive at the same diagnosis?

The results were discouraging. Clinician agreement was very variable. This makes almost all mental health diagnoses arbitrary. But they are put in medical records as facts.

And this arbitrariness infects the next edition of the manual (DSM-V). The physicians candidly assert they may never establish the scientific validity of these 'disorders'...

Limitations in the current diagnostic paradigm...embodied in the current

DSM-IV...suggest that future research efforts...exclusively focused on

refining the DSM-defined syndromes...may never be successful...in

uncovering their underlying [causes].

So, the 'disorders' are...and will remain scientifically unreliable opinion.

You can read about the future DSM-V at the url listed below.

How are psychiatric disorders discovered if they're not scientific?

They aren't discovered...most are created. Committees of physicians (and a few non-physicians) decide...intuitively...what a mental disorder is.

For example...if a child is no good at arithmetic...she may be diagnosed with 315.1 Mathematics Disorder. Difficulty with arithmetic may be due to lack of interest. But that's not a disorder. Or it may be due to neurological problems. Which makes it a genuine medical issue...not an arbitrary psychiatric disorder.

What should I do?

You can remember that psychologists are required to practice from established scientific knowledge. They must have your informed consent to share information...such as a diagnosis. So...lacking those things...you should have concerns in this age of massive government and corporate data bases.

And you should raise any concerns about the unethics of diagnosing mental disorders with your psychologist or other therapist. But first know what their ethical requirements are. The url for psychologists is below. For other professions just type into a search engine "ethics for..." and add the name of the profession.

If you and your clinical psychologist haven't discussed these things...which might make you decide not to use insurance benefits...your relationship may be on vague ethical grounds...which are inadequate to protect you...the consumer...from unwanted consequences.

Can I still see a psychologist if I don't want a psychiatric diagnosis?

Of course. It's very doable. And I'll cover how in another article.

If you are a individual who is endeavoring to better your grades, there are a listing of fast ones that tin aid you to better your capableness to sharpen your attentiveness, reserve the information that you study, and retrieve it during an scrutiny without being subjected to mental blocks or a diagnostic test phobia. Here are the best ways that I cognize to set up good acquisition behaviors:

(1) Set up an environment for learning and survey only in that place! Find a quiet topographic point that volition do possible a focusing of attending without distractions. Some usual illustrations would be a library, a vacant classroom, or your office. You desire to make the wont of studying when you are in this particular place. So it is best to not utilize this topographic point for other activities like daydreaming, socializing, or playing music, etc.

BE SURE YOUR special topographic point HAS:

(a) A comfortable seat, but not excessively comfy

(b) A authorship desk or tabular array

(c) Excellent visible light

(d) Good air flowing

BE SURE YOUR special topographic point DOESN'T HAVE:

(a) Distracting positions of other activities

(b) A telephone

(c) Distracting music

(d) A large silver screen telecasting

(e) Another individual who speaks all the clip

(f) A icebox filled with distractions

(2) Split your prep into tiny, short-range components.

(a) Set up little highly specific undertakings like, "I am going to analyze my biological science from 3 Prime Minister to 4 PM. Otherwise you will put yourself up to be unsuccessful.

(b) Set a reachable prep end for the amount of clip you have got allocated. For example: complete reading chapter 10 in my history text, or complete a unsmooth bill of exchange of my history paper, etc. Set your ends when you you are ready to get studying but before you actually begin. Set realistic goals. You may make more than than range your goal, but set a reachable end even if it looks manner too easy.

(3) Diagnostic Test Phobias

(a) Some pupils experience physical symptoms for the most part, like nausea, feeling hot or cold, headaches, or faintness, etc.

(b) Other pupils experience emotional symptoms for the most part, like feeling irritable, crying, or getting defeated quickly.

(c) The chief quandary with anxiousness is that it can do you to have got a memory block. Or it could do you have got ideas that are racing out of control.

(d) Although you may currently experience some degree of anxiousness while taking an exam, you can larn to decrease that anxiety, or even completely get rid of it!

(e) Feelings of anxiousness and the end point emphasis are frequently the chief causes of a deficiency of the ability to concentrate your concentration. Stress tin also do a mental block when you seek to recollect information.

(f) Hypnosis CD's can be utilized to loosen up your head and focusing your concentration. As your head composures down, your ability to remain focused will increase. Similarly, a composure head heightens your ability to reserve information, and recollection it when it is needed.

(g) Hypnotherapy CD's tin be utilized to programme your head for the positive outlook of relaxation and the ability to remember information during an examination. Relaxation is valuable for diminishing or getting quit of diagnostic test anxiety. (h) There are a figure of natural language processing techniques that tin quickly acquire quit of a diagnostic test phobia!

Helping your kid acquire higher diagnostic test tons in scientific discipline can be as easy as a twenty-four hours of fishing. Fishing is hands-on way for children to link to of import scientific discipline concepts, in improver to being a great activity that tin maintain children learning for a lifetime. This article will demo any parent how to turn his adjacent fishing trip into a science-filled acquisition experience.

Why fishing? If your kid is in an simple school in New House Of York State, the bulk of the 4th class scientific discipline diagnostic test and the simple scientific discipline course of survey will be based on ecology, or the study of the natural world. As a 4th class instructor and devouring angler, each twelvemonth I utilize fishing to hook pupils on science. Students in my schoolroom rise trout from eggs and release them into the wild. Along the way, they larn about insects, identification, pollution, nutrient webs, preservation and life cycles, just to call a few concepts.

To larn the most from a twenty-four hours of fishing, program ahead. Your trip should be a blend of instruction and fun. To do the trip a acquisition experience, seek to believe of it as a four portion lesson: pre-fishing, fishing, options to fishing and post-fishing. The up-to-the-minute encephalon research shows that a great trade of learning happens while children are sleeping, so planning ahead a few years can give your kid a opportunity to absorb new scientific discipline concepts. Don't coerce learning but usage scientific discipline vocabulary when the chance arises. If possible, seek to utilize the footing and inquiries in this article; your kid will see related inquiries on the New House Of York State scientific discipline diagnostic test in 4th grade.

Questions to Ask Before Fishing:

What make fish necessitate to live?

What are the basic demands of all life things?

Are a fish an herbivore, a carnivore or an omnivore?

If a fish eats an insect, which one is the marauder and which one is the prey?

Bashes your kid desire to fish with worms or with lures? Both methods can assist children larn about nutrient chains, predators, quarry and the energy cycle? Catch a torch and travel worm hunting. On rainy nighttimes exuberant lawns will be filled with nighttime crawlers. Point a torch down at the grass but expression to the dim countries of light. When a sycophant is spotted, seek to catch it. If you are too slow or make vibrations, worms will hit back into the ground. Brand it a contest. Map out where you caught the most worms. Discourse decomposers and the importance of worms in nature.

You can also happen worms on wet asphalt after a rainy night. Tennis tribunals are safe from traffic and are usually crawling with worms. Get up early while it is still cool and wet.

If children wish hunting for worms they may like the thought of a worm stand. With grownup supervision, children can box worms into cups, decorate them and sell worms to local fishermen or gardeners. An easy trade for children who love to catch fish is to make their ain fishing lure. It is simple to make a free enticement that any child can make with a small grownup help. Come back to this land site for simple enticements you can do with your child.

Fishing:

Where should you cast? Why?

Where make fish live?

Point out things like weather condition forms and animals. Use the experience as a agency to garner inquiries that tin be researched later or tested out; this tin present the scientific method. If pupils can do a connexion between their lives and scientific discipline apprehension will follow.

If you catch fish, be ready with a tape measurement and a camera. Rich Person the kid measurement the fish and be certain to acquire a picture. The image can be used for school scientific discipline undertakings or show and tell. This tin aid provender a child's involvement in writing. Try to take a few photographs of the fish that tin be used by children later to assist place it.

Alternative Activities

If the fishing is slow or your child's attending span is waning, you can acquire more than acquisition out of the twenty-four hours by changing activities. Children larn best when they are motivated.

Anxiety, in a controlled level, is a very helpful mechanism. This do you a spot more alert than usual or a spot more prepared since the prospect of failing or losing just lies around the corner. But anxiousness upset is another story. It cripples the individual affected ; it directs him to privacy owed to possible awful result that may originate irrationally or it completely sucks the life out of him through delimiting his normal activities to, say, compulsive yet irrational behaviours which is the lawsuit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And what's worse, the symptoms of an anxiousness upset could endure for as long as 6 calendar months but when untreated, it could impact a individual for a lifetime.

Anxiety upset is a wide class of temper upsets that look in assorted forms, with assorted symptoms and in a assortment of people. Here are some illustrations of anxiousness upsets that look pervasively in American population.

Panic Disorder

If person have a terror disorder, he may experience like an at hand doomsday is about to take over him, or a sense of internal and external pandemonium is about to clang him or it may also look like he is losing control of everything, realistically or unrealistically.

The nature of terror upset plant like it is something that the patient have lost entire control of. This then bring forths physiological symptoms such as as racing pulse or those symptoms that are usually associated with a individual who is undergoing a bosom attack.
