NEW AGE "A fascinating and instructive book that provides a wonderful, grounded 'voice of reason' among all the misinformation that's being bandied around about today's children." --Sandie Sedgbeer, Managing Editor, Children of the New Earth magazine "Takes the new children--those often termed 'Indigos'--and places them in a context whose scope boggles the mind. Weaving together metaphysics, legends, new physics, sociology, child development, gifted education, near death experiences, and transformation, Beyond the Indigo Children explains why such children are making waves on the planet and why this is happening now." --Betty Maxwell, Associate Editor, Advanced Development journal According to prophecy, the fifth sun or fifth world of the Mayan calendar moves into ascension on December 21, 2012. This date represents a "gateway" of planetary development that will open humanity to new ways of living and new worlds of opportunity. Ancient traditions have foretold that our successful passage through this gateway depends on the "fifth root race"--new stock in the human gene pool--destined to help us through the exciting and massive changes ahead. In Beyond the Indigo Children P. M. H. Atwater illuminates the characteristics of the extraordinary "new children" of the fifth root race, those brilliant and irreverent kids born since 1982. She explores the relationship of the new children to the prophecies in the Mayan calendar and other traditions, providing extensive background information about the seven root races (the sixth and seventh of which haven't yet appeared) and the great shifting of consciousness already underway. She reveals the connection of the seven root races to the sevenchakras, and how the fifth chakra--the chakra of willpower--will be opened for humankind as the new children grow to maturity. She also discusses the phenomenon of soaring intelligence and undeveloped potential and provides concrete guidance and tools for those who seek to understand and help the new children achieve their full potential. Beyond the Indigo Children explains the grand sweep of human evolution and the worldwide ascension of energy now occurring, which will take humanity to the next level of advancement. Beyond the Indigo Children is the first major study of today's children, and their place in our rapidly changing world, that combines objective research with mystical revelation and prophecy. P. M. H. ATWATER, L.H.D., is a distinguished researcher of near-death experiences, prayer chaplain, spiritual counselor, and visionary. She is the author of seven books including Coming Back to Life, Future Memory, We Live Forever, and The New Children and Near-Death Experiences. She lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.

*Explains how the increase in intuitive, creative and abstract-thinking abilities of children as well as incidences of ADHD, dyslexia and autism signal evolutionary changes at work in humanity - the emergence of the Fifth Root Race*Connects the appearance of these traits with ancient myths and evolutionary calendars as well as predictions by Teilhard de Chardin, Edgar Cayce and other visionary seersAtwater explains what is happening to our species and our world - from neurological changes and climate upheavals to the drive to be constantly connected through screen-based technology and the unnecessary widespread use of drug therapies. Sharing individual case histories underscoring the traits of the new-child personality, she reveals how these children, born with universal consciousness encoded in their DNA, act as agents for world change by reflecting back every misguided aspect of business, politics, religion, entertainment, technology and culture so we can't ignore what needs to be repaired. Atwater shows how children labeled as autistic or otherwise damaged have enormous potential for greatness.Connecting recent events and cultural shifts with creation myths, evolutionary calendars and historical records from every culture as well as predictions by Teilhard de Chardin, Edgar Cayce and other visionary seers, Atwater shows how the genetic shift now occurring follows the Rule of Thirds in its progression. Exploring timelines for the next several hundred years, she explains that the coming new world will be tailored specifically for the new kids, who will lead the way in the Great Shift from old world to new.

A groundbreaking study of the lifelong effects of near-death experiences in the newly born, babies, toddlers, and children up to age five * Draws on interviews with nearly 400 childhood experiencers, both fully matured and young, as well as more than 40 years of NDE research involving over 5,000 people * Reveals how those who experience a near-death state at a young age are profoundly affected for the rest of their lives, including developing psychic and intuitive abilities, "wisdom beyond their years," and a pervasive feeling of being "homesick for heaven" * Investigates the wide-awake consciousness of babies being born, womb memories, and the experience of being alive on the other side of death In this major study of near-death experiences with the newly born, babies, toddlers, and children up to age five, NDE expert P. M. H. Atwater reveals how those who experience a near-death state or other worlds at a very young age are profoundly affected for the rest of their lives, including developing psychic and intuitive abilities, higher intelligence and "wisdom beyond their years," and a pervasive feeling of being "homesick for heaven." Drawing on interviews with nearly 400 childhood experiencers, both fully matured and young, Atwater explores their accounts of what it is like to be alive on the other side of death as well as what makes them different from others, complemented by a deep analysis of statistical evidence from her more than 40 years of NDE research involving more than 5,000 people. She shows how, in contrast to adult experiencers, child and infant experiencers of near-death states cannot compare "before" with "after" as adults do, because they don't have a "before." The world of these "forever angels" is the life continuum, a stream of consciousness that has always existed and always will. Integrating "where they once were" with "where they now are" is a lifelong challenge. Examining the forever angels' memories of the womb, birth, early childhood, and the other world, Atwater investigates the wide-awake consciousness of babies being born, the vivid recall of mature childhood near-death experiencers, and how memory of the life-continuum never fades, nor does the desire to go back.

This is an accessible guide to the theory and evidence underlying the phenomenon of NDEs. With contributions from leading international experts in the field, it provides an overview of the research into NDEs, the nature of NDEs and how they have been experienced around the world, and the physiological, psychological and medical bases of the phenomenon. The book also discusses children's NDEs, NDEs from a religious perspective, the role of light in NDEs, the assessment and management of NDEs, and the future of research into the phenomenon. This essential handbook will provide all those who may encounter someone who has had an NDE with the knowledge and understanding they need, including nurses, doctors, palliative care workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and pastoral workers.
